Less than 7 months ago Rep Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head and her chances of survival were looking dim. Well today she proved everyone wrong because she was back in the House, the House of Representatives that is.
If ever a politician in this century was the face of courage, inspiration, bravery and heroism it is her. I am in awe of her and I am happy in a time when politicians seem like the greedy scum of the earth, she is the face that not all of them are.
If I could vote for her as President in 2012 I would. Because is she could survive a bullet in the head, she can survive the Presidency.
I so respect this woman, not only for her fight back from hellish situation, but because she is a politician who sincerely cares about the people who voted for her.
Before Saul Rubinek was investigating weird artifacts on Warehouse 13, he was helping an actress look into bizarre cases in Sanctuary care. How different does the 31 year old actor look with a fro and no beard in that 1979 telemovie.
Tony Bennett might have left his heart in San Fransisco, but he will leave an impression on the season premiere of Blue Bloods. The singer that every other musician wants to duet with will be singing with Carrie Underwood on the CBS cop show. The two powerful voices will merge as one as they sing It Had to Be You at a fundraiser for the new Mayor. Frank Reagan aka Tom Selleck will be there to hear them duet, but I was kind of hoping that Donnie Wahlberg’s character would be there too so he could join in with them during the September 23rd episode.
Seriously who doesn’t love this show. I wasn’t expecting to like this show, but its my favorite new show from last season that is coming back for a second one.
UPDATE: The New Kid on the Block confirmed he didn’t work with Bennett and Underwood on Twitter, Donnie Wahlberg Tweeted “Carrie Underwood & Tony Bennett were here today on the Blue Bloods set… I was busy chasing bad guys and missed them! :(” Bummer.
The Voice was a Smash hit on NBC this spring/summer, so when it comes back to TV in 2012 it will come back for a longer time starting in February. How big does the Peacock network think the singing reality show that showed American Idol how it is done, is? Well they will be premiering it after the Super Bowl XLVI (the biggest show on TV every year) on Sunday, February 5. The next night it will move to its new timeslot Mondays at 8p with all four coaches Adam Levine, Blake Shelton Cee Lo Green and Christina Aguilera.
Once Xtina, I mean the fat lady sings (sorry I had to go there) on the February 6th, Smash will make its much anticipated debut. Can I tell you the show starring Debra Messing, Anjelica Huston and Katharine McPhee is my favorite new show of the season. It is Glee for adults, which means it is smart and less cheesy and it is really well done. I also think unlike the Fox show it won’t lose its way after 13 episodes. To anyone who has ever been to Broadway show, you’re going to love this show. Heck even if you don’t have a fondness for musical, there will be something there for everyone.
So come February 2012, NBC will smash the competition in February sweeps with The Voice and Smash!
