Tanya Robers passed away today at the age of 65, according to KABC’s George Pennacchio. The cause of her death is unknown, but it was not COVID-19 related.
Roberts had a long career with many iconic roles. Throughout the years, she played several sex symbols, including one of the Angels in the final season of Charlie’s Angels. Roberts is one of the few women to be a Bond Girl. She starred alongside Roger Moore in 1985’s A View to a Kill. The actress was also seen in the Sci-Fi classics Sheena and Beastmaster.
However, to most of you, she will be remembered most for playing Donna’s progressive mom on That ’70s Show. A role she opted to leave in 2001 to spend time with her dying husband, Barry Roberts, who died in 2006.
To me, I will always remember her from the Horror movie Tourist Trap. It was the first film that gave me nightmares. Why my father let me watch it when I was a kid, I will never know. In fact, it still scares me.
I am going to watch it again in her honor. Tonight, let’s keep her beauty alive by watching one of her many memorable roles.
Mayim Bialik is back with her own sitcom on Fox tonight at 8p (or after the football game, depending on where you live). Bialik plays Kat, a 39-year-old single woman who owns a cat cafe in Call Me Kat.
Kat lives on her own above her cat cafe. Her mom (Swoosie Kurtz) would love her daughter to stop being the crazy cat lady and get married like Kat’s best friend Tara (Vanessa Lachey). In the pilot episode, Tara is renewing her vows, and she asked Kat to bring a plus one. Kat asks one of her workers from the cafe to go with her. Phil (Leslie Jordan) is getting over a breakup with his boyfriend, so he is more than willing to go with his boss. However, Kat’s college crush, Max (Cheyenne Jackson), is back in town working at the bar by her cafe, and she would rather go with him to the wedding. What Kat doesn’t know is that Max is dating another woman from Paris. What will Kat do when she finds out that his girlfriend is also in town?
Thankfully, Kat can confide in her other employee Randi (Kyla Pratt). Randi is going to do everything in her power to get Kat to change. Something Kat will have to do because her mother won’t stop fixing her up on dates. Dates she doesn’t want because all she wants to do is date Max. Does he want to date her? Kat will do everything she can to find out.
Did I mention there are cats on the show? I mean, this is a show about a cat cafe, so we have to have kitties. They just make this sitcom even more meowvelous.
That and the cast play off of each purrfectly. How can you not have comedy tuna with Leslie Jordan and Swoosie Kurtz on the show. They always bring the funny, no matter what they do.
Because of all of the above, you will be drawn to Call Me Kat like a cat is drawn to catnip.
James Corden has always been a little chubby. This year he is going to do something about it. The Late Late Show host has joined Weight Watchers to make sure this time successful.
He doesn’t want to do it alone, so WW is going to give away a 3-month digital subscription to 100,000 people with financial hardships.
Hopefully, in three months, we will see the difference for all of them!
I bet he and Rebel Wilson wish they were doing Cats this year. This way, they could show off their skinnier frames in those revealing catsuits.
Larry King, 87, has had a rough few years. In 2019, he suffered a stroke, and filed for divorce from his wife. Then in 2020, he lost two of his children. Now, 2021 is starting off just as crappily because he spent New Year’s in the hospital.
According to Showbiz 411, the talk show legend has spent the last 11 days in the hospital battling COVID-19.
Since King has survived heart attacks, heart surgeries, strokes, lung and prostate cancer, and so much more, I wouldn’t be surprised if he survives this too.
