And now we know who will be taking it all off to raise awareness for prostate, testicular, and colorectal cancer testing and research.
Anthony Anderson is going to be dancing barefoot and bare everywhere else with Taye Diggs, Chris Jones, Tyler Posey, Bruno Tonioli, and James Van Der Beek.
“Don’t die of embarrassment. Get checked! That’s the message behind The Real Full Monty special,” said Anderson. “I am honored to lead the charge of rallying these fearless men to bare it all, in order to provoke, inspire and in this case, beg you to get screened for cancer. That’s our goal…so what are you waiting for!?”
During the two-hour special, Anderson will lead Diggs, Jones, Posey, Tonioli and Van Der Beek as they train and rehearse for the most revealing performance of their careers, culminating with a big strip-tease dance, choreographed by Emmy Award-winner Mandy Moore, where they will bare all in front of a live audience. Leading up to the final disrobing, the men will push their limits of comfortability, modesty and brotherhood with a series of rehearsals and experiences, both private and public, designed to build confidence and remove them far from their comfort zone and strengthen their bond as a group. Along the way, each of the celebrities will share their personal stories of how cancer has impacted their lives.
The Real Full Monty will air this Fall. I hope it is a huge sucess because I have two actor friends who want to do the show. And they would be perfect for the second season!
James Van Der Beek moved to Texas, and he is a problem with the state. It is not anything political; it has to do with the fire ants that are attacking him and his family.
When they came for him, he took it. Then, they went for his six kids, so now he has a problem. Therefore, he is out to kill them.
So if you are a fire ant, be afraid, be very afraid. Because I have seen the Dawson’s Creek star so angry. Actually, has anyone seen him angry?
Before James Van Der Beek was an only child on Dawson’s Creek, he had a sister on As the World Turns. He looks the same now as he did when he was 18 in that 1995 episode.
James Van Der Beek has more kids than we have fingers on one hand. Therefore, he has learned a thing or two about parenting. Since he has six kids, he has learned how to CALLLM a crying baby to sleep. And he is sharing that secret with us.
It is all about being CALLLM with a newborn infant, like his son Jeremiah. What does that acronym stand for? It is Connection, Acceptance, Love, Listen, List, and Magic. He explains what each word means in the video. Obviously, it is working because look at the little guy sleeping like an angel.
I wonder by which kid he was able to perfect this method. Was it with Olivia, 11, Joshua, 9, Annabel, 7, Emilia, 5, or Gwendolyn, 3? I am guessing it was with Jeremiah, less than two months.
After watching this video, I think that someone should give him and his wife, Kimberly, a show about how to be a parent. I think he would be really good at it.
James Van Der Beek and his wife, Kimberly, welcomed their sixth child together after two late-term pregnancy losses. Baby #6 is a baby boy that they named Jeremiah, Remi, for short.
You didn’t know that his wife was expecting? The actor explained why they kept this pregnancy a secret. “After experiencing late-term #pregnancyloss twice in a row (both at 17+ weeks), we kept this one quiet. Truthfully, I was terrified when I found out,” he wrote. “But we found a doctor here in Texas who diagnosed the last two as having been caused by an: ‘incompetent cervix’ (I asked him what kind of misogynistic old dude invented that term and he laughed – which made me like him even more. Now it’s called a #WeakenedCervix). A simple surgical cerclage was done, removed at full-term, @vanderkimberly gave birth naturally on the ranch…and here we are. The medical books say to only look at a cerclage as an option after three late-term losses. Our doctor recommends considering it after one. Spread the word.”
Remi has four older sisters Olivia, 11, Annabel, 7, Emilia, 5, Gwendolyn, 3, and an older brother, Joshua, 9.
