Before Jennifer Lawrence thought the Hunger Games was tough, she showed us that having a My Super Sweet 16 was tougher. How cute was the 14 year old in that 2005 ad that earned her a SAG card.
Lisa Whelchel Tweeted the above photo and said “A perfect ending to my trip to Atlanta…dinner with my dear friend of almost 35 years, Kim Fields. #oldandgold”. But to us fans of The Facts of Life it is a perfect picture of Blair Warner and Tootie still hanging out after all of these. Plus the 49 year old Lisa and 43 year old Kim look like they are reuniting after 5 years and not 35. Don’t look fabulous?
You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have two beautiful friends who have lived the facts of life together!
BTW I love how Survivor has reignited Lisa Whelchel’s career and I can’t wait to see what she does next.
Dallas is back on TNT tonight at 9p with a 2 hour season premiere and it is even better than the first season.
The second season picks up about a month after the first one ended. Rebecca aka Pamela Barnes (Julie Gonzalo) is back from an extended vacation and she is ready for revenge. Christopher (Jesse Metcalfe) and Elena (Jordana Brewster) are openly dating and John Ross (Josh Henderson) is working along side his two enemies. His mother Sue Ellen (Linda Gray) is just days away from the Governor’s election and her ex-husband J.R. Ewing (the late great Larry Hagman) will do anything to get her elected. Meanwhile his sister-in-law, Ann’s (Brenda Strong) daughter has finally been found, but meeting her might cause Sue Ellen the election. And then there is Bobby (Patrick Duffy) who proves he is the best husband and father that anyone can hope for, brother and uncle not so much.
There is so much exciting stuff that happens on tonight’s season premiere that I don’t want to spoil you too much about what is going to happen. What I will tell you is if you are looking for something to heat up your freezing winter nights, then Dallas is the show for you to watch tonight and every Monday at 9p.
Last week I was on a bunch of conference calls with Dallas’ second generation and they previewed what is coming up this season on the show that proves it is good to be bad! And yet they are all so nice even though some of them of play bad.
Josh Henderson aka John Ross Ewing:
Well basically season 2 taped about a month after we last saw the Ewings at the end of season one. So, you know, John Ross kind of went from this very angry vengeful place right after basically letting his mother bring the ring back. And now it’s just like he’s all alone and if anybody gets in his way he’s going to take them down. That was his kind of attitude at the end of season one.
Season two picks up a month later, he has chilled out a little bit and he has a different approach. I think that he still wants to take over Ewing Energies, that’s his goal, but he knows that he can’t just be guns blazing angry all the time.
So he has a different tactic and he has chilled out a little bit and he wants to kind of fly under the radar a little more and but he’s definitely working on a big plan.
Julie Gonzalo aka Pamela Rebecca Barnes Ewing:
I think that, Rebecca, the character last season was, you know, playing parts. She’s a con artist. I think that she was just trying to make her father proud in many ways. And I think that this year that changes are that is now herself.
She is now her true self. She is Cliff Barnes’ daughter. Her name is Pamela Barnes. She walks into a room and is now who she needs to be. And then it’s there’s a lot of honesty behind the role this year. And I think the thing that’s the beauty of scenes such as the honesty in a role.
And there’s going to be a lot of revelations this season that are going explain why things happened the way they did to – for her and why she did the things she did last season.
Jordana Brewster aka Elena Ramos:
Well what I love that Drew Ramos coming back is. Well first I really like the actor playing him Kuno is really fun to work with. But I love that it brings out a whole different side of Elena.
I mean everyone knows no one pushes your buttons like family. And her older brother actually really pushes her buttons and forces her to be very adversarial because he is a bit of a bad boy and he usually causes trouble and that is how she views him initially. So it is has been really fun to be able to show that side of Elena.
Jeese Metcalfe aka Christopher Ewing:
He definitely starts to consider compromising his ethics. And he certainly ultimately does dance on the dark side a little bit. He’s really forced to in order to compete with everyone around him being so, yeah, manipulative. So yes, you know, you’re definitely going to see a darker side of Christopher come mid season.

Dick Van Dyke was rightfully honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award yesterday at the SAG Awards. When he went back into the press room after he accepted it, he was photographed in a compromising position with the larger than life-sized version of the SAG Awards statue. Either that or he was just trying to cover up the anatomically correct statue that makes Jon Hamm and James Woods look small.
BTW I am know I am going to heck because of this post. I also know that my friend’s toddler, who is obsessed with Mary Poppins, is so going to kick me in the shin for writing anything negative about her idol. I hope that the legendary Dick Van Dyke can forgive me because I love him just as much as that little girl and did not mean to insult him in anyway, but the picture just made it so easy.
Finally I wish the young actors of today would look up to him, so that they can create a persona as lovable as his. I can’t think of anyone younger than Henry Winkler that is adored like he is, can you?

Kevin McHale posed for the cameras on the SAG Awards red carpet and he wore his ugly green jacket like a pimp would in a ’70s movie or television show. Seriously did he think he looked all cool and sh!t wearing his jacket over his shoulders instead of like every other guy at the event with his arms in the sleeves? To me he looks like a pompous d!ck just like what his character Artie has turned into on Glee. And it wasn’t only the jacket that made him look like a Pimp/pompous d!ck, it was also the way he posed with his hands cupped over his crotch, the huge gold watch and the brushed back hair that made him appear that way. I don’t know what he was thinking with that look, but he needs to never think about it again. He needs a stylist ASAP and if one actually styled him for the SAG Awards then he needs a new one like yesterday.
And to be honest when I first saw his pictures, I thought he was Alan Cummings. But then I realized Cummings wouldn’t wear that much black on a carpet and appear that uptight.
