Lady Gaga opened the Baku 2015 European Games with Imagine and John Lennon’s words are still as true today as they were in 1971. Especially after yesterday’s senseless shooting in Charleston, SC. So listen to this song and remember the 9 people who needlessly died yesterday at Emanuel AME Church.

Before all the ladies were attracted to the sexy astronaut Bret Harrison on The Astronaut Wives Club, all the ladies were attracted to him on The OC. He looks the same now as he did when he was 21 in that 2004 episode.
The cast of Switched at Birth works hard for the money and today they found a new way to earn ever more of it. They installed a strip joint on the set and Lea Thompson and her TV husband DW Moffett look very comfortable with it. Why it is there, we don’t know. We will just have to tune into ABC starting on August 24th to find out.
In 1959, 7 men were chosen to be the first people to go into space and they became instant stars. Not only did they become famous, so did their wives. And tonight for the next 10 weeks their story will be told on ABC’s The Astronaut Wives Club.
The 7 men and their wives didn’t know each other before they were selected for the space program and now they are a team and a support system. The women will be there for each other when their husband’s go into space. Remember, they were the first ones to do it, so they are scared that their husband’s might not come back from their groundbreaking flights. Besides that pressure, they also have to deal with the press wanting to know more about them. As they press finds out more about them, so do we. Their lives aren’t as perfect as they look, so it helps that they have each other to be there for them.
There’s Alan Shepard (Desmond Harrington), whose the first to go into space, and his wife, Louise (Dominique McElligott), who is the toughest one of them all. She is the woman they strive to be. Gus Grissom and his wife, Betty (JoAnna Garcia), who is sweet and wears her emotions on her sleeve. John Glenn (Sam Reid) and his wife, Annie (Azure Parsons), and she stutters. Because of that she is afraid to face the press and that will cause problems for them. Scott Carpenter (Wilson Bethel) and his wife, Rene (Yvonne Strahovski) and she is the prettiest one of them all. Not only is she pretty, she has a secret that will make the press turn against her. Wally Schirra (Aaron McCusker) and his wife, Jo (Zoe Boyle) whose very supportive of her husband. Gordo Cooper (Bret Harrison) and his “wife” Trudy (Odette Annabell). I put wife in quotes because they are actually separated because he cheated on her, but they don’t want anyone to know. Deke Slayton (Kenneth Mitchell) and his wife, Marge (Erin Cummings) who is always by side. Tonight we get to know them and starting next week each of their husbands will go into space one by one.
It isn’t only their stories that makes this period drama so hypnotizing to watch, it is how perfectly they nailed that era. I couldn’t recognize some of the actors because their appearance changed so much for that time period. All of them looked better in that style than they their current look. Some period pieces don’t feel authentic, but this one does.
Plus, it makes you want to learn more about the Mercury 7. When we think about the space program, it normally starts with man landing on the moon. But those astronauts were not even the first 7 to go into space.
So starting tonight learn about their journey on a show that is as stunning to watch as it is to look at.
I can’t say enough great things about the show that debuts tonight at 8p on ABC.
Nathan Fillion is on a break from Castle, so he decided to take a shower and share a photo of himself doing it. You know what, that is the sexiest I have ever seen him look. Not because he is naked in the shower (not that hurts), but because that hiatus beard really works on him. Maybe ABC will let him keep it because I know I need a shower after seeing him in the shower with it.
