Does Julian Fellowes (Downton Abbey) Hate Women, Babies or Marriage?

Ok, hate is a strong word but I can’t help but think that Mr. Fellowes has something against women or better yet, married women. 

Now, if you haven’t watched series 4 of Downton Abbey, SPOILER ALERT!! You have been warned.

At the beginning of the new series, it hit me that the Crowley women have had it rough in marriage.  The Countess Cora lost her baby, Lady Mary lost her husband while having her baby while Lady Sybil died in child birth. It makes me almost grateful that Lady Edith has not been successful in the road towards marriage. I’d hate for her to meet the same fate. 

I thought this fate was only on the Crowleys until I remembered Anna and Mr. Bates. Mr. Bates is sent to jail for a crime he didn’t commit. Then as if the nicest person on the show hasn’t suffered enough, Anna gets raped. I mean seriously?! Watching Anna try to cope with the rape and her changed relationships with the men around her, particularly her husband, has really been heartbreaking. Anna’s mental condition is understandably frail. 

Poor Mrs. Hughes, she is the one who holds all secrets; how does she not burst. Only Mrs. Hughes knows. Although Anna asked her not to say anything, Mrs. Hughes didn’t exactly promise she wouldn’t. I am really hoping she finds a way to let it be known who the perpetrator is and help Anna. But just like Anna feared, I am afraid that Mr. Bates will end up in jail when he finds out. I am just hoping Anna is not pregnant.

Scandal: It's Handled Live Recap

Let me just say, I HATE VANESSA CHANDLER!

Oh, so it was Jake Ballard Olivia's dad tried to kill?!

Daddy dearest is speaking some truth "You have to be twice as good as them to get half of what they I have." Lord knows I have experienced this too many times. But boy is he mean.

No Livvie, You are not leaving your Gladiators!

She really did board the plane! No, she's not going. But she's right, Cy will throw her under the bus if she stays. I mean we've already seen him almost kill his own husband.

Yes! She's off the plane and telling her dad what's what!

"The white house will destroy you"

"That's what mom used to tell me about you"

Madame Vice President. Always hiding behind God yet does some real vile things!

Did she just say Brown Baby?! Cy, get this b&$ch!

Fitz, why are you talking candidly with Sally?! Ok, I know it's the right thing to apologize to Sally as a "team member" but when is Sally going to apologize to him for undermining him when he was in hospital?

Nah, Sally said yes a bit too easily. What is she up to?

Yeah Olivia, don't know how it's going to be business as usual. You are the cleaner, now you need to be cleaned. Let your team handle this.

Funny how all those people who you helped are quick to turn their backs on you

Cy, sweet does not suit you.

I really don't think it's the secret service who leaked the information. My money is on the First Lady

Well never mind. The secret service agent had something to do with it but never said it was Olivia. I'm still looking at you First Lady!

Damn it! There is a video of Fitz leaving Livvie's apartment!

Kill file on Olivia?! You were right Livvie, Cy is ready to throw you under the bus

Background information on Livvie. Interesting; mom died when she was young, spent time in boarding school never to return home, has daddy issues. No one knows the B613 guy (Rowan Pope) is her dad?!

Yep, where is Jake Ballard "dad"?!

Hmm, password Providence. Where are we off to Livvie?

Huh?! Is that the President's bunker? Are they really going to meet? Wow, Livvie, bad move on your part.

Oh Lord, here comes the First Lady. Why invite her?!

Okay Millie, let's stop calling Livvie a whore. You need her now even if you don't like it.

Change the narrative? How? Looking forward to seeing how this will be pulled off

Millie is right, the hungry press and gossipers will want all the gory details

Yes, Millie, the back and forth with them will be fodder for us

Yes, Millie, it's not cheating. Fitz is in love with another woman

I wish Millie would stop grasping on to this fairy tale of hers. The man doesn't love you. Hell, he doesn't even like you!

OOOOh, Olivia really asked how many times Millie would be comfortable saying they slept together?

Two times

I'm sorry, I would be too uncomfortable in this situation

First time after the inauguration

Second time after the assassination attempt. How will you explain away that video footage of Fitz leaving Olivia's apartment. That was WAY after the assassination attempt

Oh oh, Millie has left, Fitz takes of his jacket. He hugs her. Yes Livvie, melt away in his arms. If you don't want to

I do not for one minute believe Sally is happy that POTUS and FLOTUS are working this out for the sake of the children

Condemn you?! Fitz, what are you talking about?! You are giving this woman what she wants!

Yes, Fitz. Why are you helping her? Why are you extending her kindness

"Because we are not married" Mmmh

Now Cy and Millie are working together? Goodness! Alliance changes are giving me whiplash

"Are we gladiators or are we bitches?!"

Yes! Say it again! GLADIATORS!

Come on now, say it with some gumption

OH MY GOD! I'm loving this! Way to use Janine's words against her.

Cy, you won't be handling this! Lol! This is exactly what you wanted! Yep, there goes that sly Cy smile. I'm sure Millie will try to convince Fitz this is the better option

Not "What did you do?" Olivia. Your Gladiators handled it!

Wait, WHAT?! Fitz leaked Olivia's name?! NO.WAY.

Then again, Fitz desperately wants to be with Olivia. But to the extent of ruining his political career?

Step 1: Leaking her name

"No, Step 1 was me coming to you and laying my head on your lap"

"You and I are at war! She's no longer at your mercy. Now she's free."

Well, looka here. Janine is the new client

Oh snap, Charlie has come for Cy. No, Rowan sent Charlie for Cy

Operation Remington: Fitz and Jake's mission. Daddy what are you up to now?

Gladiatoooooooooors! Tonight's The Night!

Yes Gladiatiors! We have patiently (some impatiently) waited for this night. ABC's Scandal season three premieres tonight at 10 PM EST. However, if you need to catch up, there will be a special airing tonight at 8 PM EST - Scandal - The Secret Is Out. Don't worry Gladiators, as Ms. Pope would say:

Robert Downey Jr. Can Get It!

Confession time. I don't watch American Idol; never have and never will. However, I have seen very few performances posted on youtube e.g. Adam Lambert's take on Tracks of My Tears It was thus a great pleasure to see this next delight. In my opinion, Robert Downey Jr. is so cool and smooth in this. Jack Black although dramatic, has the moves down! I knew he can sing but I had no idea RDJ has some ballet and tap dance in his background. I'm loving this guy more and more. This clip is from from American Idol finale in 2008. I told you I don't watch that show!

Run and Tell Dat Homeboy!

They're raping err body out here! We looking for you...we gon find you! Antoine Dodson fell into some fame accidentally. Someone broke into his family home and tried to rape his sister. The news crew run a report about it and obviously Antoine and his sister had something say about it. The rest of it, well, he took it to the bank with the Bed Intruder Song. And then to BET Hip Hop Awards last night. He's made so much money he was able to move his mom out of the projects. What can I do to move myself out of my current situation and pursue this entertainment writing thing full time? Pointers? Suggestions?

Watch the original newscast, then the video for the song, then his appearance on BET's Hip Hop Awards. PRICELESS!

Divorce Court - Tyler Perry Style

I happen to have too much time on my hands lately. This means a lot of tv watching. I came across an episode of Divorce Court. Man, this was the most hilarious episode of Divorce Court I have ever seen! D'Atra Hicks - an actress and amazing singer familiar to us in movies and plays by Tyler Perry - is in court with her estranged husband. She admits to being abusive towards him but she also caught him living a life with another woman out of town. Take note of how she is dealing with her anger issues. Priceless!!

Fall 2010 New Show: "$#*! My Dad Says"

Shit My Dad Says is a comedy based on a twitter account of the same name. The show stars Henry (played by Jonathan Sadowski) as a recently laid-off man, living with his 72 year old dad Ed (played by William Shatner) who never minces his word. I remember there being a lot of hoopla about "shit" in the title but thank goodness CBS didn't budge and kept the word "shit" - even if it is as $#*! *sidenote* HBO never had any problem with Senator Davis' impressive use of the word...sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

First, I enjoyed the Wall Street - Money Never Sleeps promo - $#*! Gordon Gekko says. Second, considering the source material and the fact that it came from Will & Grace producers, I was expecting a lot of zing. But this is cbs; how much of the vulgar nature of the real Ed can be portrayed on network TV? In my opinion, the show would be a better fit for cable tv, but on the other hand, the show can reach more viewers on network tv. However, is the latter worth deviating from the original feel of the tweets? How much of the spirit of "real Ed" from tweets can you fit in a half-hour comedy show?

In the end, I think the writers will have to feel comfortable enough to explore Ed - you know, flesh out the character past his quips - and grow past tweets less than a year old as source material. All in all, there's a lot of room for improvement. However, I will keep checking in hoping it will get better.

Fall 2010 New Show: The Event

Just like you, I'm wondering what is The Event? But more importantly, how long will it be before that question is answered for us? The Event is a new show on NBC starring Blair Underwood as Afro-Cuban American President Martinez who survives an assassination attempt and discovers his own administration is keeping secrets from him. Jason Ritter plays Sean who is looking for his girlfriend who goes missing during a cruise. As he searches for her, he stumbles upon a government conspiracy bigger than the President (trust me, I would never make up that vomit-inducing sentence). Other characters include Laura Innes as political detainee Sophia and - the brilliant - Zeljko Ivanek as a Presidential Aide with something to hide.

I was left confused after the show ended - not the nice confused I felt after a great episode of Lost. More like an unsatisfying episode of Lost. Here's what I gathered:

• President Martinez wants to release non-American detainees held in Alaska. His advisors think he's making a big mistake. He also finds out that his aides are also keeping secrets from him.
• Sean wants to propose to his girlfriend Leila. While on a cruise, he saves a girl - Vicky - from drowning. They start hanging out with Vicky and her boyfriend - Greg. However, Leila disappears before Sean is able to propose.
• Leila's dad - played by Gilmore Girls' Scott Patterson - gives his blessings to Sean. However, Sean figures out that Mr. Buchanan is the pilot who's attempting to crash the plane at the site where President Martinez is located. It's alluded that the masked intruders who invaded the Buchanan home, killed may be his wife, and are holding his family hostage are forcing him to do this.
• Simon - played by His Hotness Ian Anthony Dale - is the only visitor Sophia seems to get in prison. The two of them seem to know what the event is and are determined not to let the president know.
• What in the world was that white light that swallowed the plane? I get the feeling that is not the event. 

Who is "they"? Aliens? They are not Americans but they must be the other detainees. Somehow that couple - Vicky and Greg - have something to do with either the event or the abduction of Leila. It's not Lost, it's much better than Heroes and - I hate to admit this - Flash Forward. I'll be tuning in next week.

Fall 2010 New Show: Lone Star

Lone Star is poised to be a night time soap offered by Fox; which is bad news for this show. It feels like a show that should be offered in the summer where it can fare better than in the fall. It's a show about con artists. Bob grew up learning the art from his father; a fellow con man. He learned the trade and is now living two cons of his own in Texas. On one side of Texas, he is married to Cat, the daughter of a wealthy oil tycoon played by Jon Voight. His father-in-law wants him to take over the company. However, his father - played by David Keith - thinks he has a great gift. It's a gift not to be wasted by going straight. His father would rather he clean out the family rather than take over the company and live that life for real. Bob leads another life, 400 miles away, with his girlfriend Eloise. There he is busy conning people out of their life savings while pretending to be the perfect boyfriend to Eloise.

Which of these two lives will he choose? Will he need to choose? He seems to be genuinely in love with both women; something that is debatable as possible. He seems to be so comfortable doing cons; he's smug, extremely charming and handsome. All these give him the confidence to think that he can do it both. But you can see there's a sense of guilt in him when he hears Eloise's parents talking about the people who've lost their retirement due to the financial crisis. At the same time, he can't risk being caught; there's a lawyer questioning the deeds of some of the oil wells he supposedly owns. Will he finally be able to lead the normal life - by his standards - that he so craves? Will the viewers keep watching? Apparently not. With such bad ratings, it seems like this show is an early favorite for the first cancellation victim of the fall season. I will miss seeing James Wolk's handsome face.

Fall 2010 New Show: Mike & Molly

Mike & Molly is a sitcom on CBS brought to you by the creators of Two and a Half Men and The Big Bang Theory. I'm not sure if this comedy will bring their batting average to 3-out-of-3. Mike is a cop in Chicago while Molly is a school teacher. They both meet at Over-eaters Anonymous. Mike is a great guy but filled with insecurities about his weight. Due to this, he's not able to see that Molly is interested in him. Plus, after his partner convinces him that Molly is interested, Mike has a hard time getting the words out.

The list of supporting characters include the highlarious Katy Mixon as Molly's sister and Swoosie Kurtz as Molly's mom. They could be in line for their own show. Mike's partner, Carl, on the other hand is an annoying, trying-too-hard, token minority of the show. His only redeeming quality is that he's Mike's constant champion and cheering squad.

The laugh track feels very forced. May be with time the show will find it's rhythm. I do believe that the characters that play Mike and Molly (Billy Gardell and the always lovely Melissa McCarthy) have great chemistry. They definitely do need this since the show is about them. Another show that it resembles is Dharma and Greg; also brought to you by Chuck Lorre, the producer of this show. The writers will have to tone down on the fat jokes. Yes, Mike's fat jokes could be masking something deeper but should the supporting actors constantly make fat jokes even unintentionally? I'll give this show 2 more viewings and see whether it will stay in my tv viewing schedule.

Fall 2010 New Show: Nikita

Let me preface this by saying I was hell bent on not watching the new update of Nikita on the CWl. The constant previews playing Rihanna’s rockstar was unbelievably irritating. Yes, I’m not a Rihanna fan – sue me! Further, Maggie Q, who plays the titular character, is soo skinny I just want to feed her a couple of burgers. But I know she plays action real well – she’s a huge star in Asia – and all the rave reviews the show has been getting cajoled me to give the pilot a try.


For those of you who don’t know about Nikita, here’s a little info on her. Nikita was recruited out of jail by a secret government agency and trained to be an assassin. She broke one of their rules – she fell in love with a civilian. The agency, or Division as Nikita calls them on the show, kills her boyfriend. She is now on a mission to take them down. Nikita was originally introduced to us in the 1990 French film, La Femme Nikita. Seven years later, the movie was made into a US tv show. This is technically not a retelling or continuation of the story from the movie or the television show.

First, whatever happened to Shane West? I thought he would have been a bigger star by now. Anyway, the show reminded me of Alias - Nikita could easily be Sidney Bristow minus the hot boyfriend Michael Vaughn. It moved at a fast pace, great action, you learned a few things about the characters that made you want to know more rather than inundate you with too much information. Yes, I’ve been drawn in, checked my tv watching schedule – What?! You don’t have one? – And found that the show won’t conflict with my already set Thursday night viewing schedule. Welcome Nikita!

Fall 2010 New Show: Hellcats

Hellcats is the first of the crop of the new fall shows I have watched. Wasn’t expecting much, after all, it’s the CW channel and produced by Mr. Superman, Tom Welling. At the most, I thought it would be a guilty pleasure ala The Vampire Diaries, another CW show. The premise is rather simple. Marti (played by Alyson Michalka - one half of the pop group Aly & AJ) is a pre-law student on a scholarship at Lancer University. Her irresponsible mother neglects to tell her that her scholarship was cancelled the previous semester. As luck would have it, the school cheerleading team (The Hellcats) has a scholarship available after one of their members suffers an injury during practice. Marti thinks the cheerleaders are just football groupies but she needs to stay in school, graduate, and get as far away from her mother – and lead a normal life. Therefore, she tries out for a spot on the team. Once selected, she has to learn how to navigate her new world.


As a former team dancer – Go Spartans! – I understand this world; it’s actually a sport, very competitive, full of catty girls and not too ethnically diverse. Marti’s tryout reminds me of mine; nerve wrecking and super fierce. Enough of my trip down memory lane and back to our regularly scheduled program. Hellcats is not a guilty pleasure for me. It’s a show I would tune into if it doesn’t coincide with the 20 billion other shows I watch during its time slot. I am looking forward to seeing how Marti’s relationship with BFF Dan (the very hot Matt Barr) will develop. I am also looking forward the potential love triangle between the cheerleading coach (played by the wonderful Sharon Leal), the team doctor who is also her boyfriend and the new football coach who I assume she had a relationship with back when they both attended college. How I adore love triangles…on tv that is. Based on the first episode, I’d give the show 2.5 stars out of 5.

There Is No Emmy god

As we all know, you can't always get what you want and at this years Emmys, I sure walked away with a lot less than I wanted. However, I was pleased to see a lot of newcomers get recognized this year. The show also made me think that I may finally have to watch Breaking Bad on AMC. Really?! Three times in a row for Bryan Cranston?! But there are so many tv shows on my plate! Ricky Gervais should host every awards show on tv. I love that guy! The non-alcoholic beer was a great touch! Then again, I am biased when it comes to the British.


I have to get something off my chest though; well a few things. First, we are in a recession but I don't think the Emmys, or better yet, AMPAS got that memo. Wow, everything was just...shiny...for lack of a better word. All I could think of was "That's $50,000 spent on showing full size shots of the nominees, on tv screens, on stage. I could use that to send my siblings to college." I sure hope many folks were employed.

Lastly, every year I gripe about this, and I know next year, I'll be back at it again. Why are some great tv personalities omitted every year from the farewell tribute? Some are such glaring omissions you can't use the usual "not enough time in the program/in error" excuse. David Mills and Alaina Reed Hall. How do you miss these two? For The Wire alone, David Mills should have been included. He also produced/wrote for The Corner and NYPD Blue, to name a few more. Who did not watch Sesame Street growing up? How do you not include Alaina Reed Hall. She was great in 227 as Rose.

Check out the full list of winners here.

DWTS Cast Announced

The new Dancing With The Stars cast has been revealed. I think each year they just stoop lower than the year before.

Audrina Patridge - Reality star from The Hills
Bristol Palin - And they say her baby daddy is the one looking for stardom..tsk!
Brandy - Singer Brandy...yeah, I don't know what to say about this one
David Hasselhoff - You've come a long way down since Baywatch
Florence Henderson - The token old lady
Jennifer Grey - I wonder if her role as "Baby" in Dirty Dancing will help her
Kurt Warner - Who? I'm guessing he's another sportsman
Kyle Massey - Who? I'm guessing he's the token young kid on the block
Rick Fox - Former NBA player whose been acting lately. This is a bad move for you! You were slowly moving up the hollywood ladder until this...SIGH.
The Situation - SERIOUSLY?! Well, I'm sure all his dances will be shirt-less
Michael Bolton - I have no words for this one.
Margaret Cho - The token comedian. It will probably help her new cd move wood (that's selling an abysmal number of cds)

You can learn more about the contestants here

Black, Beautiful, and Bootiful

Recently, I was watching an old episode of NCIS. There was a swimsuit contest happening on the beach. A white girl was introduced and she strutted her stuff to the cheer of all the men. Next, a black girl strutted her stuff with the same amount of cheer but something was evidently different. You see, for the white girl, you got to see her butt in her bikini. But, for the black girl, the camera wouldn't span down.

Today I received my victoria secrets coupon in the mail. It then dawned on me that none of the black girls with ample booty were pictured from behind. Why is this. Is there something wrong with having nice backside? I couldn't understand why there was different treatment for the two actresses; they weren't even billed! Is it an FCC thing? Someone help me out here.

2010 Emmy Nominations

Today morning, the 2010 Emmy nominations were announced. The show, hosted by Jimmy Fallon, will air on Sunday August 29th at 8pm EST. You can view the full list here.

Thoughts on the nominations:

• Didn't know there was a category for Outstanding Choreography. Go ahead with your bad self Derek Hough!
• Nothing Suits Me Like a Suit from How I Met Your Mother was nominated. LOVE IT!
• So happy that Matthew Fox finally got nominated. He definitely put in his best work during the last season of Lost. The complete collection is $150 (Amazon) and available on August 24th; you can pre-order now. Yeah, I'm saving up for that one!
• Maybe it's time I start watching Friday Night Lights....ah, who am I kidding...can't be bothered.
• Would have been a shame if Michael Sheen didn't get nominated for playing Tony Blair...again. But he's safe.
• Community was ROBBED!!! It should have replaced Modern Family. I have watched the first three episode of Modern Family and I just couldn't get into it.
• Jon Cryer is awesome in Two and a Half Men. So glad he got nominated and I hope he repeats a win like last year.
• Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama series looks real tough this year. But Martin Short stands out to me. He was brilliant in Damages. But then there's Michael Emerson as Ben Linus on Lost. I just can't decide. 
• Kristin Chenoweth, the Tony's may have forgotten you but the Emmys have you covered.
• Please let Lost win for Outstanding Drama!
• Yay! True Blood was nominated for Outstanding Drama!!
• And the best revenge for Conan O'Brien; get nominated for an Emmy while Jay Leno gets zilch...SWEET!

Good luck to all the nominees!
