Happy Friendship Day!

Donna & Kelly Friends 4 Life!
Tori Spelling & Jennie Garth

"Yes" in case you are out of the loop today is National Friendship Day, time to celebrate those in our lives that we hold near and dear. 

Thus I thought what better way to get the friendship train rolling than featuring two BFF's Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth who forged a bond on the set of a little show called Beverly Hills 90210. These two woman have been friends that damn long, and always have each others backs publicly and privately.

Well here there are celebrating the 90210 Reunion series which airs this Wednesday on FOX. Note the way cool dresses with their respective characters names from the show painted on them. 

Hey, want to hear something really interesting? I never really watched 90210 when it initially aired it was one of those shows I most have seen in syndicated reruns on Pop TV. It is one of my lazy day guilty pleasures, and "Yes" I will be tuning in to see these two friends for life reunite this Wednesday.

Time to Text, PM & E-mail my friends and wish them well...

TTFN - Ta Ta For Now, minions!

Heartthrob John Stamos

Tell It To My Heart
John Stamos

Proving he is still a heartthrob at 53, John Stamos plays a hot doc in season two of Scream Queens, which in case you haven't guessed is set in a, duh, hospital.

Question? Would you let this guy steal your heart? You answered too late, as you can see he already has! 

Jamie Lee Curtis, Lea Michele and the rest of Chanels return along with new comer Taylor Lautner.

Season One of the show started out promising then became a flat out disappointment overall. That being stated being a horror fan of course I will be tuning in to season two, here's hoping they right the previous seasons wrongs.

Can't wait for the premiere? Don't have a heart attack, Scream Queens season two shrieks it's way onto your TV Tuesday September 20th on Fox.

Let's Get Gastronomical, Taylor Hicks

There's Something About Taylor Hicks

Hey Hicks fans. It's time to get your grub on with your favorite former "Idol"...

Yummy!

Though American Idol came to an end Thursday night, Tayolr Hicks' television career is going full steam ahead. He has recently been announced as the host of State Plate, a new food and travel series on INSP, to premiere this fall.

State Plate will celebrate the unique food traditions of all 50 states. “In each episode we dig into the distinctive foods of a particular state,” said Doug Butts, SVP of Programming at INSP. “Unlike most food shows, we won’t be touring restaurants; this is about the food itself, how it is grown and the people who bring it to our dinner tables. What emerges is the trivia and unknown stories behind our states’ most emblematic foods.” Taylor Hicks is no stranger to great cuisine, as the singer is a partner in Saw's Juke Joint in Birmingham, Ala.

“Taylor’s wide popularity, experience as a restaurateur, and down-home charm make him an ideal host for a traveling food series.” Butts said. “In each episode of State Plate, he travels to a particular state, where he will ‘assemble’ a plate filled with the food most associated with that state. He’ll sample everything from crab cakes in Maryland and peaches in Georgia; to chili in Texas and potatoes in Idaho. As he makes his way from coast to coast, Taylor will visit farms, ranches, markets, festivals, and other diverse and unusual locales. In the process, viewers share in the journey as he uncovers the rich details behind each state’s unique food traditions. It’s a heaping helping of America’s most beloved cuisine, rich in history, folklore, and flavor.”

“State Plate has tested very well, and audiences agree that this series complements and enhances INSP’s family-oriented schedule,” Butts said. “We are thrilled that viewers will be taking this journey with such a beloved personality as Taylor Hicks.

State Plate is produced by RIVR Media.

As the nation said a fond farewell to FOX-TV's American Idol, Hicks returned to the show that made him a star, one last time.

Taylor was among those that performed on the series' final episode.

"I'm so grateful for the platform that American Idol gave me as a performer and a recording artist," said Hicks. 

Taylor also has a fast-filling slate of tour dates woven into his taping schedule, stretching well into the fall. His 2016 tour includes more stops next week in his hometown of Birmingham, continuing on through Georgia, Tennessee, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, and more!

"I'm Sick Of Your Lip" Jillian Barberie

Ouch!
Jillian Barberie 

Jillian Barberie is one of my favorite people. She was generous enough to grant me an interview when she was hosting Good Day LA and I was just starting my writing career. So off I trotted to the GDLA green room at FOX she walked in and couldn't have been more gracious.

Sadly she is no longer on the local morning talk show, and needless to say I have stopped watching. But I have kept up with Jillian on Facebook and Twitter, naturally. 

For those of you who may be unfamiliar with this dynamo here is her intro quote from her Facebook page:

"No hair extensions & my boobs are real. Take THAT LA! Oh & I'm in lotsa TV, movies & stuff."

Recently she lost a chunk of her lip to a Cocker Spaniel, and needed 10 stitches to fix the gash...Yikes!

Jillian, ever the animal lover and animal rights activist had this to say about it:

"Well, Last night (this morning) my friends dog took a big chunk out of my lip. 10 stitches later...Oh my beautiful face! It has been ruined!! LOL (kidding) 

Surgeon said I'll be fine. I have other puncture wounds I didn't know I had because Doctor gave me something called Norco. 


BTW: The dog wasn't being aggressive. As you know, I am a dog lover and took the risk. He had just lost his best friend last week, I was holding him and CRUNCH! There goes my beautiful, glamorous, sultry pouty lip! Too much I love you. LOL. Really, I'm gonna be fine."

Word on the Internet is that Jillian's sultry pouty lip is ready for it's comeback!

Gillian Anderson, Moist

I Bring You Moisture
Gillian Anderson

It's no mystery the X-Files with Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny is back. Yes, geeks Scully & Mulder together again! 

Gillian has always been one of my favorite actresses. Quite versatile, with amazing presence and talent. I will never forget when I saw her as Lily Bart in Terence Davies adaptation of the Edith Wharton novel The House of Mirth, which was a house of anything but FYI. She was riveting! 

Feast your eyes on Ms. Anderson promoting the X-Files recently at Fox's TCA panel in Pasadena.

Educated guess, she is moist for some cryptic reason. Perhaps to be deciphered in an upcoming X-Files episode.

The Truth Is Out There, but guess what? You'll never ever find it....

All I Want For Christmas Is Uncle Jesse's Ass

John Stamos
Has A Booty To Flaunt!

52 year old John Stamos who starred in the family oriented sitcom Full House and is reviving it on Netflix as Fuller House. While he is currently starring on FOX in Grandfathered. 

He recently bared his ass in the pages of Paper Magazine, oh there was an interview too in case you care to read past this awesome sight.

Normally I do not mention ages of celebrities here on Entertain Me because I think they are irrelevant. However in the case of an actor starring on a comedy series about being a grandfather having the ass of some half his age, well, yeah, it felt like I should. Not to mention most JS fans have been panting for this much skin for a long while. Crossing our fingers what he is packing shows up in a pictorial soon!

With his successful decades spanning career there is no real reason for dropping trou other than flaunting it while you've still got it. Hey, that's enough reason for anyone over 50 to go for it!

Grease Live!

l-r Julianne Hough, Aaron Tveit & Vanessa Hudgens
Good Luck Guys!

There's a drought in Hollywood, of original ideas. I bet you thought I was going to mention the water supply, didn't you? 

Well luckily when it comes to great Hollywood musicals getting the old re-do treatment the concept is original, they are doing them live! The giant ratings for The Sound of Music Live solidified there would be more live TV musicals to come.

Up this January Grease gets a whirl on the live wire. The movie is considered a classic and starred John Travolta as Danny and Olivia Newton-John as Sandy. Their chemistry was electrifying! 

To me the challenge of this undertaking, other than performing it live, is not trying to replicate the original, nobody could. Rather the challenge is trying to create something new that resonates with the audiences on some different level. Most of that will fall on how much chemistry Julianne Hough and Aaron Tveit - the new Sandy and Danny's shoulders. While they could never copy Travolta and Newton-John's sizzle, they need to have their own spark to really make this production Greased Lightning!

I am looking forward to seeing High School Musical alumni Vanessa Hudgens essay the role of Rizzo made famous by Stockard Channing. Having won rave reviews on Broadway for the title role of Gigi for sure she will make Rizzo her own.

Tell me more, tell me more...

Who's That "New Girl?"

Which Girl Is New?
Megan Fox or Zooey Deschanel?

I have a confession I have never seen an episode of New Girl. So why I am reporting on it? 

Megan Fox, Megan Fox, Megan Fox! I feel for you! That's correct minions THE Megan Fox is going to sublet while THE Zooey Deschanel is out breast feeding her baby.

Show creator Liz Meriweather has this to say about Fox: "It's insane to me that such a gorgeous person can be so funny, but I guess we just all have to accept it"

Accept it Liz let the feeling live within you.

Hey I am a sucker for Foxy Megan - she is funny, yes I mean it! She will make me tune the fuck in for this!!! Werd!

Jamie Lee Curtis Goes "Psycho"

Like Mother, Like Daughter
Jamie Lee Curtis & Janet Leigh

OK, everyone knows I am a HUGE horror fan! So it stands to reason I am quite excited about the premiere of Scream Queens (not Screaming Queens) September 22nd on FOX. 

A main attraction for this horror junkie being Scream Queen Supreme Jamie Lee Curtis. Jamie was in one of my all time favorite slasher/suspense flicks John Carpenter's Halloween, and as you recall followed that up with a bunch of others in the 1980's such as Prom Night and Terror Train.

It was most likely her destiny to fill the role since her Mother, Janet Leigh was one of the original Scream Queens when she appeared in Alfred Hitchcock's classic Psycho. Another of my favorite things!

You know the movie where the female lead gets killed off in the first fifteen minutes of footage, yeah that one.

Well Jamie Lee recently Tweeted this image with the caption: "Recreated Mom's PSYCHO shower scene 4 a special ep of @ScreamQueens,"

Yes!!! I know where I will be this coming Tuesday the 22nd at 9 pm!

"Grease" Live Is The Werd

Hudgens & Hough

In the tradition of Sound of Music live, and because of it's record breaking ratings. A live version of Grease is coming to FOX January 31st 2016 - werd!

The first two casting announcements were made today - and this writer found them a mixed bag.

Julianne Hough will play Sandy, um I'm not sure about the rest of you , but I find the former Dancing With The Stars star and now judge pretty uninteresting. I certainly don't think she can and ever will compete with my first girl crush Olivia Newton-John.

Next up Vanessa Hudgens as Rizzo. Now this is something I can get behind, she is one of my current girl crushes, and I think perfection casting wise.

Julianne had this to say (source E!Online) "Grease is one of the movies that made me want to be an entertainer, and I have literally been waiting my whole life to play Sandy," Hough said. "My siblings and I watched it and played it out over and over when we were kids. This is my dream role and performing it live on television will be one of the most thrilling opportunities I've had in my career so far."

Cutie Vanessa Hudgens who will be on Broadway in Gigi states (source E!Online) "Being Rizzo is something I've never imagined, and I love that because it will be a new challenge. She is such an iconic character that continues to transcend generations. I cannot wait to bring her to life on live television. I'm going to be a Pink Lady!"  

OK, Zac Efron as Danny Zuko anyone?!

In the most shriek worthy news of the week, Jamie Lee Curtis and Emma Roberts have won the title of Scream Queens on Fox! The dynamic duo will star in the first 15-episode season of Fox's new anthology series from Ryan Murphy.

As a horror fan this is killer news! Since each of these women have major Scream Queen cred. Curtis is known for the Halloween saga of flicks and Roberts starred in Scream 4, American Horror Story: Coven and is currently starring in American Horror Story: Freak Show. 

The comedy-horror hybrid series hails from Brad Falchuk, Ian Brennan and Dante Di Loreto. The first season takes place at a college campus that is rocked by a series or murders.

Being a huge fan of Jamie Lee Curtis and having seen every horror movie she did in the 80's when she was the reigning Queen of Scream, it's great to have her back in the genre that made her a star!

Scream Queens is coming to Fox fall 2015...Yes!

"I knew I wanted to work with Brad and Ian again on something comedic, and we are having a blast writing Scream Queens," Murphy said in a statement. "We hope to create a whole new genre—comedy-horror—and the idea is for every season to revolve around two female leads. We've already begun a nationwide search for those women, as well as 10 other supporting roles, and we're very grateful to Dana Walden and Gary Newman for their enthusiastic support."

No casting has been announced. Hey guys I have some great suggestions, contact me.
