Yesterday, The Cosby Show’s Geoffrey Owens broke his silence on Good Morning America about working at Trader Joe’s to make ends meet between acting jobs. Shortly after his interview aired, Tyler Perry offered him a job on his OWN show The Haves and Have Nots.
Today, GMA gave us an update and Owens is flying down to Atlanta to appear on the drama. Something that I am sure will make the head of the Oprah Winfrey Network very happy. That is because this is so up her alley.
Congrats to Geoffrey Owens! Personally, I am surprised that he is not doing with Dancing with the Stars. But this offer is so much better. The first of many of offers that will come his way.
Al Roker is going from weatherman to Waitress. As in he is going to play Joe in Waitress on Broadway from October 5th to November 11th.
Wait can he sing? He gave us a little taste on Today today. Now I ask, can Broadway weather Al Roker? Worse singers have performed in musicals on the Great White Way. I just cannot think of anyone now, but I am sure there have been a few who have stepped in to do Grease, Cabaret and Chicago over the years.
How did this all come about? They asked him and he said yes. Who will regret this decision first? Only time will tell.
For years, Nancy McKeon has been out of the spotlight, but not anymore. Good Morning America revealed that she will be on the upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars. Her partner is the recently engaged Val Chmerkovskiy.
She is the second actress from The Facts of Life to appear on the dancing competition show. The first was Kim Fields. Tootie saw her career have a jumpstart after she was on DWTS and hopefully the same will be said about McKeon.
Can you believe she is 52 because she looks even better now than when she was on the classic sitcom?
Can you guess who has my vote? McKeon of course. I cannot be the only girl who did not want to be Jo when she grew up. I still want to be here. Us Bronx girls stick together.
Who will she be competing against? The full DWTS cast will be announced next Wednesday on GMA and season 22 will debut September 24th on ABC.
