Hugh Jackman took the X-Men gang to see The Butler and that is their reaction to seeing it. Wolverine said that they loved it, but it is hard to tell in that picture. I am sure they did because it seems like anyone who has seen the movie has loved it.
BTW I would pay Oprah Winfrey a $1 if she took The Butler gang to see Wolverine and then took a photo of their reaction. Now that would be a picture that is worth a 1,000 words!

Before Bryan Cranston was going to the pharmacy for cold medicine to make meth on Breaking Bad, he was going there to buy Excedrin. How cute was the 29 year old in that 1986 commercial.

Why did Jolene Purdy aka Dodee stop reading Under the Dome? |

Under the Dome is the surprise huge hit of the summer that is being seen by the amount of people that most falls show wish they were being viewed by on a weekly basis. So why is this show that airs Mondays at 10p on CBS doing so great in the ratings? Well one of the stars of the show, Jolene Purdy, told me what the producers told her the actors should be focusing on. She said they advised them, “It is not about the Dome, it is about the people and their human spirit as they are facing this crisis.”
It is these people that we have grown to care about and to love, and Jolene Purdy’s Dodee quickly became a fan favorite. Dodee works at the radio station, and she is trying her hardest to hear the communications going on the other side of the Dome. So far it has just been bits and pieces, but the little tidbits have made a difference. Not as much as she made in episode 5, when Barbie saw her signing to a family member. He then asked her if she could read lips, and when she told them that he could he used her to communicate with an officer on the other side. The soldier told them they were going to send the Mother of All Bombs to Chester’s Mill, and the town was able to prepare for the impact because of her. It is the little things like this that make us adore her. And it’s the little like learning sign language that she was able to cross off of her acting bucket list. Another thing she crossed off, is that she got to do her own stunts. Something we have yet to see, but we should be looking out for in a future episode.
Now as you know Under the Dome is based on a Steven King book and except for the name, TV Dodee is nothing like book Dodee. So when I asked her if she has read the book, she told me about an interesting experience she had trying to read it. She said, “I started to read the book, and it was a safety hazard on USA Airways. They made me stow away the book because I couldn’t have it on my lap. It was too big (nearly 1,100 pages).” Then when she was allowed to read it, she told me “I noticed that Dodee died, and I was like that’s it. I quit! I’m out! I’m not reading it!” Which is a good thing she stopped there. I won’t say what happens to her character in the book, but even I had a hard time reading Dodee’s fate. She also shared with me another reason why she put the book down, “I wanted to experience the Dome as my character and really make it feel natural. Not play something, I read.” Not that the two have a lot in common past what she read, but I respect her decision for playing the character as is and not what it should be.
Under the Dome is a Sci-Fi show and playing in this genre is something that is new for this actress that started out in musical theater before landing leading roles on Do Not Disturb, 10 Things I Hate About You and Gigantic and a recurring one on Glee. She is really enjoying doing Sci-Fi, and during the show’s hiatus she is hoping to do a comedy or two. Through her body of work we know she can tackle it all, so I hope we see her in at least one comedy before she get trapped under the Dome again next summer.
Now as you probably figured, the show isn’t really filmed in a Dome but it is shot in North Carolina. So when I asked her what it is like to work there, the California native told me “I got to experience weather. I got to experience bugs at their finest.” Then she added with a big smile on her face, “The people there were very very very very very sweet.” Just like Jolene and that is just another reason why we love her so much on Under the Dome.
So watch it tonight on CBS at 10p to see what happens in Chester’s Mill when their worst fears come true…

TLC examines two type of extraordinary medical cases tonight |

Wesley Warren Jr. is 49 years old and he was The Man with the 132-Pound Scrotum. Tonight at 9p on TLC, you will hear his story and see how he lived with it.
You will see the hell he went through on a daily basis just trying to get around and do things that you and I take for granted. He has problems going to the bathroom, eating, dressing and walking. The worst part about it all, is his scrotum won’t stop growing and it is getting so bad that it could kill him.
He has seen several doctors and none of them know what they can do for him. To make matters worse his health insurance says they will only pay for a surgery if it is in his home state of Nevada.
After years of searching for a remedy, a doctor in California thinks he can help him but Warren doesn’t have the money to pay him. So the doctor decides to do the surgery for free.
Once the surgery is done Warren is a new man, and you will finally get to see him in normal people’s pants! He is now able to do the little things that he has been hoping to do for 5 years, like drive a car and buy normal people’s pants. Yes I said it twice because that is a huge deal for him.
To see and hear his whole story, is really inspiring because he never gave up hope. Even though he is struggling, he still goes on as best as he can. His ordeal is an interesting one and you don’t want to miss a sad story with a happy ending.
Then at 10p it is time for My 40-Year-Old Child. Three people around the world were born with a disorder that causes them to age very slowly. Gabby is 8 years old, but she is the size of newborn baby. Her parents and siblings don’t treat her any differently. Even though she needs to be fed and carried around because she is basically just like a baby. Then there is Jeffrey, 29, who looks like a 10 year old but has the mind of an toddler. He is also deaf and mute, but his mom is devoting her life to him as any mother would. Finally there is 31 year old Audenete, who is like a toddler and in better shape than Jeffrey and Gabby when it comes to her mental development. But like the other two, her family is there to love her and help her out.
The three of them are going to see Dr. Richard Walker and he is going to see if maybe they can help them. Their ageing process is so rare that it doesn’t even have a name. What will he find out when he examines them? You will have to watch this documentary about three loving families trying to help their child grow up like the rest of us.

Craig Ferguson got photobombed by a bride and her groom! |

Craig Ferguson was taking a selfie at Grand Central Station, when he got photobombed by, as he put it, “these jerks”. I don’t know if that is one of the greatest selfies or photobombs ever, so I will say that it’s both. What do you think of this photo of the really recent newlyweds crashing The Late Late Show’s host’s self-photograph?
