Before Abigail Spencer had an ex-husband and a fiancé on Extended Family, she was a bridesmaid on Gilmore Girls. She looks the same now as she did when she was 24 in that 2006 episode.
Last year, CBS announced that Chuck Lorre’s last two sitcoms, Bob Hearts Abishola and Young Sheldon, were airing their final seasons this year. So it looked like, for the first time in 21 years, CBS would be without one of Lorre’s series.
But today, CBS announced that they picked up a spinoff of Young Sheldon, which is a spinoff of The Big Bang Theory.
Sheldon’s brother, Georgie (Montana Jordan), his fiancee, Mandy (Emily Osment), and their daughter are getting their own series next season.
“It has been a privilege to spend the last seven years with Sheldon and the Cooper family and now this wonderful journey will continue with Georgie and Mandy,” said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment. “Chuck and both Steves [Steven Molaro and Steve Holland] have done a masterful job developing these characters and entertaining generations of fans with relatable, heartwarming stories brought to life by Montana and Emily. We eagerly look forward to the next chapter in this beloved universe.”
I hope they find a way to incorporate Annie Potts as MeeMaw and Jerry O’Connell as the future voice of Georgie. O’Connell played Georgie on TBBT.
This is the second spinoff that CBS ordered for next season. They also ordered NCIS: Origins, which is about Agent Gibbs’ beginning with the federal agency.
June Squibb might be 94 years old. However, she is not too old to experience a first in her career, which has spanned over 70 years.
The actress is starring in the movie Thelma. Believe it or not, this is the first time she has been the lead in a production.
Thelma Post, a feisty 93-year-old grandmother who gets conned by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson (Fred Hechinger) and sets out on a treacherous quest across Los Angeles, accompanied by an aging friend (Richard Roundtree) and his motorized scooter, to reclaim what was taken from her.
And here is something else impressive about Squibb and the movie. She did her own stunts in the action film.
Squibb might look sweet, but she is one tough woman you don’t want to mess with! And that is why we love her.
In August of 2003, Brian Peck was arrested for 11 charges of allegedly sexually abusing an unnamed child on a Nickelodeon show. Then, in May 2004, he pled no contest to those charges. And finally, in October, he was sentenced to 16 months in prison, and he had to register as a sex offender.
For 20 years, we didn’t know who that child actor was. But today, we found out. And it is Drake Bell.
Bell will be breaking his silence in the four-part documentary Quiet on the Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV on Investigation Discovery. For the first time, the star of Drake and Josh will be talking about the abuse he said he suffered on the set by Peck.
This is not the only story that will be coming out about the Nick shows we grew up with in the ’90s and ’00s. Other actors, their parents, and crew members from shows like All That, The Amanda Show, Zoey 101, iCarly, Sam & Cat, and Victorious, will also be sharing stories of their experiences.
The doc will air on ID on March 17th and 18th, and it is definitely going to be an eye-opening two-night event.
Rita Moreno has famously dated Marlon Brando and Elvis Presley, so who does she have the fever for now?
She told Sherri Shepherd on her show today that Brad Pitt does it for the legendary actress. But he is not the only one. And the other guy is really shocking.
That is because it is Quentin Tarantino. Why him? The EGOT winner explained, “One for lovin’ and one for talking about movies!”
