Rob Lowe decided to join the world of TikTok over the weekend. However, he didn’t jump on the trends like walking on milk crates, doing one of those dumb dance videos, or using the old filter to see what he should look like at his age. Instead, he is posting videos of someone trimming his beard with an electric razor on his latest project with Kimberly Paisley-Williams.
Isn’t that so exciting? Who needs to see him do the Silouhette/Put Your Head on My Shoulder challenge? Oh, wait, I do!!!
Before Rob Lowe was a leading man who got the ladies, he was the man the leading lady wanted in A Matter of Time. He looks the same now, with shorter hair, as he did when he was 16 in that 1981 Afterschool Special.
What does Rob Lowe get the woman he loves for her birthday that she will thank him for and mean it? An appearance on her favorite show.
“I did it! I finally managed to surprise my wife, Sheryl for her birthday. That is usually IMPOSSIBLE,” Lowe wrote, “A huge Family Feud fan, she had no idea we would be playing tonight. And it was… amazing!!!”
Do Rob and Sheryl win the big money? Tune into ABC at 8p to find out.
While we are still waiting for the Friends unscripted reunion to happen on HBO Max, the streaming service announced that they are staging another reunion. The cast of West Wing will reunite to reenact the Hartsfield’s Landing episode.
The 2002 episode is described as, “Bartlet engages both Sam and Toby in intricate chess matches that mirror the wily game of brinkmanship that Bartlet is playing with the Chinese, who are conducting war games in the Taiwan Strait.”
Aaron Sorkin, who created the legendary series, will direct Rob Lowe, Dulé Hill, Allison Janney, Janel Moloney, Richard Schiff, Bradley Whitford, and Martin Sheen. They will film it over a few days as the actors perform the script at the Orpheum Theatre in Downtown Los Angeles in early October.
The press release does not say when it will start streaming, but it will be before the election. That is because the performance is benefitting Michelle Obama’s When We All Vote. The nonprofit wants to inspire increased voting participation.
I would not be surprised that if this does well, the series we might get a West Wing revival. One of them could be the President of the United States now. Who do you think would have the job?
You know, the meme, “How many Lowe’s would Rob Lowe rob if Rob Lowe could rob Lowe’s?” Well, when the actor saw it blow up online, he had his people call Lowe’s and see if they wanted to collaborate with him. The actor told Conan O’Brien, on his TBS show yesterday, that the home improvement store said, “We don’t really see the connection.”
I think they have been sniffing too much of their turpentine if they don’t see that connection. I can even see the commercial now. Lowe going around Lowe’s stealing things, and the slogan could be, “Our prices are so Lowe, you will feel like you are ROBbing us.” Oh well. Their loss.
