Gina Rodriguez is not pregnant, but she plays a pregnant woman on Jane the Virgin. If you playing a woman who is with child, then you need to look like you are carrying one. That means they give you a fake baby bump to wear. Well, even though she has never been expecting in real life, that hasn’t stopped her from learning to do tricks with prosthetic belly. One of those tricks, is balancing a bottle on it. It is so phenomenal, I say give her a Golden Globe award!
Before Steven R McQueen was living with Vampires, Witches and Werewolves on The Vampire Diaries, he was bunking with aliens in Threshold. How cute was the 17 year old in that 2005 episode?
When I heard about Hot Pursuit, I thought it was going to be absolutely awful. Then I wacthed the trailer for the movie, that stars Sofia Vergara and Reese Witherspoon, and I can’t wait to see it on May 8th. The two actresses have a real galmance going on and it shows.

What happens if there were parents of a boy who didn’t believe in disciplining him. The little boy is destructive and does whatever he wants. One day, when he is playing with your kid and your nephew’s kids, he starts swinging a wooden bat erratically around them. You ask his parents to control him and they barely do anything. So you grab the kid by the shoulders and tell him to listen to adults, and then he kicks you in the shin. A reaction for some might be to slap him, while others would be to just walk away.
For Harry, he slaps the kid and everyone’s lives change on The Slap because of it. The 8 part mini-series starts tonight at 8p on NBC and you don’t want to miss it.
The first episode is about Hector’s 40th party at his house and his family and friends come to celebrate it there. Hector (Peter Sarsgaard) is happily married to Aisha (Thandie Newton) and they have three kids. They have their issues, and his Greek parents are major part of them. His cousin, Harry (Zachary Quinto) is a very successful cars salesman who has a temper. He is married to Sandi (Marin Ireland) and they have a son named Rocco (Owen Tanzer). Then there is Aisha’s childhood friend Rosie (Melissa George) who treats her son, Hugo (Dylan Schombing), like a baby. Even though he is in school, she is still breastfeeding him.
When Hugo acts up the party, Harry takes things in his own hands. He slaps him and now Rosie is determined it get him arrested for the crime.
Harry’s life is being ruined because of it and so is everyone elses who was the party. Each week we will see the effects through a different character’s eyes. Things are going to get worse for them, before it gets better. For some, it doesn’t.
Each week you will ask yourself if Harry did the right thing or the wrong thing. You will ask yourself, what would you do in that situation? And you will start to have that discussion with people you know. Therefore, The Slap will get you talking.
The Slap is a remake of the Australian version and after watching two episodes of the American one and the complete Aussie one, I have to say I like the USA one better. If you’ve seen the original one on Netflix, know that this one doesn’t go in the same order. I am curious to see how else it differs. I will tell you another difference is that Hugo is so much worse in the American version.
Tune in to NBC tonight and every Thursday at 8p for a show that will be watercooler talk tomorrow.
The North East had a pretty mild winter, that was until Punxsutawney Phil told the world on February 2nd that there would only be six more weeks of winter. Ever since he saw his shadow, it has been nonstop snow in that part of the country. So much of the white stuff has fallen, records it has broken so many records in the area and there is no end in sight.
Well the town of Merrimack, NH is not happy about being buried under all of that snow and they decided to take it out on someone. Not Mother Nature, but Punxsutawney Phil. They feel he gave them hope that Spring was coming in six weeks, but he just didn’t tell them that it would be snowing all the time with freezing temperatures as a daily affair until then. So they decided to put a warrant out for his arrest. Can’t say I blame them for going after him, can you?
Just imagine if he didn’t see his shadow; and they thought were getting an early Spring? I think there would be a new Punxsutawney Phil living in that tree for Groundhog’s Day in 2016.
BTW the forecast for Merrimack is for snow over the weekend and it will not be above 30 degrees until next Thursday. Brrrrrr!
