Before Kathy Bates played Molly Brown in the Oscar-winning movie Titanic, Reba McEntire was cast in the role. Shortly before filming started she had to drop out. She explained to Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live why she was forced to jump ship.
Before Reba had her own sitcom, she was on the road all the time. When she accepted the role, she scheduled a definitive 3 months for the movie and then planned to go on tour. Which meant she hired a lot of people and booked a bunch of dates. Therefore, when they told her production had been delayed, she was forced to give up a role that could have changed her life. She had too many people depending on her to do the shows that she could not say no to all of them.
As much as I like Reba, I prefer Bates in the part. Not only does she look like the Unsinkable Molly Brown, but she was also perfect in the film. What do you think?
I remember reading a few weeks ago about the rumors that Reba McEntire was considering doing a revival of her beloved self-titled sitcom. Now it seems, she kind of hinted about it in an Instagram post with two of her costars from it. Along with the photo of her with TV ex-husband and his new TV wife, she said, “Now all we need is the rest of the REBA cast!! @melissapeterman @actor_christopher_rich #reboot.” Reboot???
Now that The CW is expanding to Sundays, it would be nice if they added some comedies to their lineup. Why not start with a revival of The WB’s biggest one. Who else besides me want to see what the Harts are up to? And what type of trouble Barbara Jean is getting herself into now?
Rob Lowe, Norm McDonald, Ray Liotta and Billy Zane are just a few of the actors who have played Colonel Sanders throughout the years. But now, KFC has hired someone for the job that has two things they do not. If you are a leg person they men are for you, but if you breast one then you are going to be happy that they went with Reba McEntire for the job.
The country singer is the face for Kentucky Fried Chicken’s newest flavor which is Smoky Mountain BBQ. That totally makes sense, but you wonder why they did not get Dolly Parton to do it. Probably because you cannot hide her, well, you know.
When it comes to Reba, I think she my favorite one yet. Who is your favorite Colonel?
Madame Tussauds Nashville has done it again! They have created a wax figure that looks so much like the artist, you cannot tell which is the human and which is the life-size candle.
For example, I cannot tell which one is the real Reba McIntyre and which one is the fake. Can you? Granted it is not fair because she has such porcelain colored skin, it is easy to replicate like they did!
Beckie Singer Eason is a Pre-K teacher in Lane, OK, and her school has a program where guests come into read to the students. When her TA and her were telling their students about it, one of the kids said that no one from the community would come because no one cares about small schools in small towns. She told them that is not true and there are a famous people, like Blake Shelton, who cares about the smalls towns.
So Mrs. Eason got her students together, made up a sign that reads, “Blake Shelton, If we get 1,000 shares, will you come and read to our class?? P.S. Bring Reba”, and posted it on Facebook. Not only did she get the 1,000 shares, she got 20 times that and the attention of Reba McEnitre. Now is up the Oklahoma native to turn his chair around and say yes. Something I am sure the Voice coach will do because I doubt his good friend Reba will let him say no. Especially to those sweet faces! How can anyone say no to them?
