Blue Bloods goes through mayors like beat cops go through shoes. Which means this year the CBS police procedural is getting a new one. This season, Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck) is going up against Dylan Walsh.
According to Deadline his recurring storyline will be, “A pragmatic businessman who rose up through honest ingenuity and keen instincts, he took on the office as a means to ‘give back’ to the City where he was raised in the disappearing middle-class and from which he launched his enormously successful career. In his first story, he approaches Erin (Bridget Moynihan) with an offer to back her in a run for the Manhattan District Attorney’s office, confident in his appraisal of her as someone he can work with to deliver the promises (socially liberal, fiscally conservative) he ran his campaign on. But the lines between ‘work with’ and ‘work for’ are clearly blurred in his conception, and Erin must weigh her ambitions against this charismatic and persuasive one-man sales force.”
How will it all work out? If Lorraine Bracco couldn’t get the job full time, then I doubt Walsh will be able to. Which is why we tune to Blue Bloods every week, to see how the police commissioner shows all of these mayors he is the one in charge.
Around August 14th, Emily and Zooey Deschanel and Jonathan and Drew Scott shot a Carpool Karaoke together. On September 6th, Zooey and her husband Jacob Pechenik announced that they split. Yesterday, the actress and half of the Property Brothers were seen holding hands. Today, Us Weekly confirmed that she is dating Jonathan.
The new couple has not said anything about their relationship status. As in no word if they started dating before or after her marriage was over. If they dated before, then their squeaky clean images are completely tainted by an affair.
Pechenik spoke with the mag today and he said to them, “Everything is amicable and we have beautiful children together that are that way because we were the parents.” When they asked him how he was doing, he simply told them, “I’m happy!” Two words that can say so much. What they say? Only he knows.
Caitlyn Jenner took part in the Comedy Central Roast of Alec Baldwin and she has something to get off her crotch, I mean chest. There have been rumors that when she became Caitlyn, she got rid of little Bruce. Turns out he is still there, he is just retired. After all, why you cut off something that made Kylie and Kendall Jenner? They are worth their weight in cash.
The roast airs tomorrow and you can see what else they have to say about her and Alec.
Ever since Felicity Huffman pleaded guilty for paying to get her daughter a better SAT score, we have wondered what her sentence would be for her part in the college admission scandal. Today, she found her fate with her husband William H. Macy nearby in the courtroom.
According to Reuters, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani sentenced her to 14 days in prison, a $300,000 fine, one year supervised release and 250 hours of community service. Prosecutors were recommending she get 30 days.
While she and the other parents involved in the scandal are probably pleased with her just doing two weeks, a lot of other people are not going to be. Why does a rich white actress just get such a short sentence when African-American women are sentenced for years for lying about their address to get their children into better public schools. Justice is not color blind.
I am sure Lori Loughlin is breathing a sigh of relief today over the sentencing, but I don’t think she should be. There are so many differences. Huffman pled guilty, only did the SATs for one daughter and was very remorseful. Loughlin pled not guilty, used the money to get both daughters into USC and we have not seen her be remorseful. Plus, if there is a big uproar over Huffman’s sentence, the judge might have to make an example of all of the parents. Huffman was the first one to be sentenced.
She has six weeks to turn herself in for her sentence.
Yesterday on Jeopardy, the game show teamed up with PBS for a category based on Ken Burn’s docuseries about the history of Country Music.
They are questions that even this Northerner was able to answer. I was surprised I got them all even though Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Willie Nelson and Loretta Lynn were not on the board. How well did you do?
While they were not any of the clues, they will all be mentioned in the 8-day 16-hour miniseries that premiere Sunday at 8p.
