The Blacklist debuts at 10p tonight on NBC and James Spader has a new look for the drama. I will be honest, I don’t really know how to explain this show.
James Spader plays, ex-government agent Raymond “Red†Reddington, who is now one of the FBI’s most wanted. He suddenly comes out hiding and offers to work only with the very green FBI profiler, Elizabeth Keen (Megan Boone) to find some of the other most wanted ie The Blacklist. As they start to work together their lives will be put in danger, but all of this is worth if they make the world a safer place, right? But then again, how does a recent grad of Quantico handle working with one of the worst people out there. Tune each week to find out in this suspenseful drama.
Now one of the first things you will notice tonight is James Spaders blonde locks are gone. At the NBC TCA summer press Day, he explained it was his decision to shave his head. He said, “It was it sort of worked backwards from one moment, and that’s what I love in that opening sequence when he goes in and surrenders himself, the juxtaposition. I knew the very first thing when I got to New York to shoot the pilot — I had very long hair, and I knew that they were going to shoot a surveillance photo of Reddington to have on the wall there when he surrenders himself.” He wanted to make that moment even more impactful, so he “thought it would be just a great moment when he surrenders himself, he takes his hat off, and the juxtaposition of the shot of him with long hair and then like this…I thought it would be nice to take off my hat and it’s an entirely different person and a very different look to go with that.” He gave his character a background and told it to us as, “But working backwards from there, you know, the way his life has been for the last 20 years, he moves very swiftly through his life. He’s moving from place to place very quickly. I thought he should have a haircut, that he can do himself if he cares to or he can go to some barber shop in a little town in Cambodia and they can cut his hair in ten minutes.” It wasn’t only his hair that he thought of, “I just thought it was streamlined, and his clothes are like that, too, in that he looks well dressed, but traveling clothes. You know, he wears clothes that he can go from a bank to a cave and he’s dressed accordingly. And he’s also in a lot of different climates over the last 20 years, so I thought it would be appropriate that he that he dress and look as if he’s able to move through the world easily and comfortably.” So tune into watch as his backstory becomes current day tonight and every Monday at 10p.
And before you tune in for The Blacklist, watch the Emmy winning show that is on everyone’s best list! That’s right The Voice is back at 8p with all the original coaches, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and the competition’s biggest winner Blake Shelton.

Cheer Perfection teaches us that urine is the perfect for soothing a burn |

On Wednesday night at 9p we are reminded that TLC stands for The Learning Channel, thanks to their show Cheer Perfection.
When one of the moms burns her neck with a straitening iron, the other mom offers to pee on the wound like what you would do for a jellyfish sting. Of course the injured mother says no, but because she is in so much pain she eventually agrees to let her do it. No, the other mom doesn’t do what Nicole Kidman did to Zac Efron in that horrible movie, instead she goes to the bathroom and pees in a cup. After she fills it up, she puts some of the urine on a towel and dabs the woman’s burn. And guess what, it freaking worked. So the next time you burn yourself and you need a quick fix. Forget the tea tree oil, ice or an ointment, just use your own pee. It’s free and readily available whenever you need it.

Sofia Vergara shows Miley Cyrus how to Twerk! |

Miley Cyrus thinks she can Twerk, but let’s be real she can’t. So Sofia Vergara sent her an instruction picture that reads “Miley cyrus this is where the twerk was invented. Colombia!” And ladies and gentlemen that is how you do it. You allow your body to be swayed by your partner as you let them know you like the way they are directing you. Miley’s version makes it look like she just lays there in bed and let’s him do what he wants until they are done.

Bones goes undercover and Castle gets his answer! |

Tonight at 8p on Fox, Bones and Booth go undercover at a couples retreat as Roxie and Tony, and they find out a lot about themselves while they are there. Will it be enough for Brennan to get over the fact that Booth turned down her marriage proposal or is this the end for them?
You will have to tune in for an episode with a lot of laughs and the perfect amount of crime solving? Did I mention that Booth puts on one of the fake Sumo wrestler costumes that leads to him fallen and he can’t get up?
Then at 10p turn the dial over to ABC to find out the fate of another couple’s proposal. When Castle ended last season, he asked Beckett to marry him and then the credits started to role. Well tonight’s episode picked up where the season finale left off and we get that answer immediately. We also find out if she is leaving NYC for DC before the first commercial break. I could tell you more but then that would spoil what happens next and I want you to enjoy the season premiere as much as I did without know the answer to those questions.
There procedurals are equal parts crime solving and fun, and because of that they are the only two I enjoy.

Who knew Jimmy Kimmel was so little? |

After Jimmy Kimmel and Conan O’Brien were part of that awful opening at the Emmys, they posed backstage with Shemar Moore. I have spoken with all three men as different times and we were all standing up during the chats, and yet I never realized until this picture how short the ABC late night host is as compared to the others. Don’t get me wrong Jimmy is not Tom Cruise short (who isn’t as short as you’d think), but he is not as statuesque like Criminal Mind and Coco. The TBS late night host is actually very tall and because of that Kimmel looks tiny. Good thing for Kimmel Jane Lynch didn’t pose with them, although he could’ve used Jimmy Fallon to be by his side to help seem a little taller. Granted Fallon is also taller than you think.
Yeah, I have no idea what I am saying in this post either. I think I am still depressed after yesterday’s Emmy and it is reflecting my mood today.
