After 8 summers of vacationing in The Hamptons, we say goodbye to Royal Pains tonight at 10p on USA.
Just over 100 episodes ago, we were introduced to Hank Lawson (Mark Feuerstein), a NYC doctor who was just fired and dumped by his fiancé’. Fate brought him to The Hamptons and luck made him a concierge doctor there. He is the perfect mix of House and MacGyver and he used that combination to help over a hundred people in the upscale Long Island community.
He didn’t do this alone, he had help from his younger brother Evan (Paulo Costanzo). When we got to know him, he was an immature wise a$$, and he never changed. Well he grew up a little when he met his wife Paige (Brooke D’Orsay), who saw past all of that to make him a man.
Divya (Reshma Shetty) was Hank’s right hand (wo)man, a doctor without the MD after her name. Even though she was his assistant, she was so much more to him.
As their business HankMed grew, they needed more help and they got that with Dr. Jeremiah Sacani (Ben Shenkman). What he didn’t have in social skills, he made up for with his medical knowledge.
Royal Pains wasn’t only a show about medicine, it was also about family. While Hank and Evan are brothers, they made Divya and Jeremiah their siblings. We saw them go through the good times and the bad times together. They all had many loves, but they also found someone special. Evan and Divya married their lovers; will Hank wind up with his soulmate? That you will have to tune in for to find out.
Tonight’s episode starts with Boris (Campbell Scott) missing and Hank and Evan looking for him. Someone wants his DNA and we will find out why. Boris knows he can’t stay in The Hamptons any longer, so he asks Hank to join him. The timing is perfect because with Divya moving to Baltimore (did she get into John Hopkins Medical School?), Jeremiah is opening his own lab and Evan is busy with the hospital, it is time for HankMed to take an extended break. Hank is ready for his next move, but what is it? Like I said Boris wants him to join him and then Evan asks him to run the ER at Hamptons General. Is this the change that he has been yearning for?
Since this is the last episode, we will find out what he chooses. He chooses correctly, because of that he gets the perfect ending, and we get the perfect series finale for Royals Pains.
This medical drama with heart never lost its touch throughout its 8 seasons. I am so sad to see it go, but I am glad it is going out in a style fitting for the show. It has been a great run and I am thankful we had it as long as we did.
So I must say thank you to the cast and crew for a show that only got better with each passing episode. Royal Pains might be gone, but it will never be forgotten.
We know that Mila Kunis is beautiful with makeup on and turns out she is even more gorgeous without it. She stripped away all of that coverup and posed for Glamour Magazine with just face cream.
How did she feel about revealing her true face? The pregnant mom said, “Fine! I don’t wear makeup. I don’t wash my hair every day. It’s not something that I associate with myself. I commend women who wake up 30, 40 minutes early to put on eyeliner. I think it’s beautiful. I’m just not that person.”
Mrs Ashton Kutcher also talked about photoshopping, “I hate it. There was a company that I did a photo shoot for once that manipulated the photo so much, I was like, “That’s not even me.” Like, what’s the point? You wanted my name, and then you wanted the version of me that I’m not. I absolutely hate it.” Then she added, “Now, do I sometimes want them to depuff my eyes? Help me out with a little bit of lighting. But do I want them to stretch my legs, thin out my waist, curve my hips, elongate my neck, blah, blah, blah? No.”
Just another reason to love the lovable actress who plays naughty and nice so perfectly.
Anna Kendrick, Adam DeVine and Aubrey Plaza did an interview with Vanity Fair for their movie Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates and it was horrendous as their film looks. The only positive thing I can say about it is that Zac Efron was smart enough to not take part in it because there was nothing even remotely funny about it. I watched the whole thing hoping it would get better, but it only got worse. So if you were even thinking of spending any money on their disaster flick, now you know not to.
I don’t get Plaza’s appeal because she plays the same sh!tty character in every heinous movie and they all bomb. When will Hollywood say enough is enough. When it comes to Kedrick, she needs to stick with roles like Pitch Perfect because she can only play a nice girl. She might try to be a bad girl, but she doesn’t have the chops for it. When it comes to DeVine, I don’t even remember him being in Pitch Perfect, do you?
I know that interview was supposed to be a funny bit, but it just wasn’t funny in the least.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLh6qqJRELA America’s Got Talent has been on for 11 seasons and last night Dorothy gave the competition show one of its most memorable auditions. The 90 year old charmed the Judges before she showed them her talent. Finally, it was time for her to wow them, and she started out by singing Let Me Entertain You. Then she did, by performing a sexy strip tease with some tassel twirling.
When she was done Simon Cowell and Heidi Klum rightfully gave her standing ovation. But the best moment came when Nick Cannon broke the rules and hit the Golden Buzzer for her. That means she automatically moves on to the live shows and I can’t wait to see what she does next. Hopefully the censors will let her shake more than just her tassels!
When it comes to the host, how can any woman let him go.
