The Good Wife: Bye, Bye, Bye Kalinda Sharma

I Will Miss Kalinda

Tonight is an all new The Good Wife, in my humbled opinion one of the best shows on TV.
As most fans know Kalinda Sharma, played by the great Archie Panjabi, days are numbered.

Well Ms. Panjabi got her Tweet on with this message on Friday the 13th:
"I took down the name sign from my dressing room today! Not long to go!" 

Panjabi's contract ends in May. She's already lined up a new gig to star in a yet-to-be-determined pilot for 20th Century Fox TV. Although I will miss Kalinda, I will watch Archie in anything.

Unlike Josh Charles who played Will Gardner, this exit will not be shocking and not handled the same way I am sure. However I do suspect it will have something to do with Lemond Bishop.

Also sorry to fellow The Good Wife Fans, Will's departure was a relief for me.

May The Good Wife be with you, at: https://www.facebook.com/TheGoodWife

Are You A "Crate Digger?"

Crate Digger: An Obsession With Punk Records

by Bob Suren

Available on June 9th - Trade Paperback, 192 Pages - $14.95

An insider's account of the last 30 years of punk rock and vinyl records, 

including new information on many punk luminaries. 

Oh how fondly I remember "crate digging" - it was so much fun, I would go to the Tower Records once a week and find out what new vinyl I could buy, punk included. Yes, I was and still am a Punk Rocker!!!

Bob Suren spent more than 30 years immersed in punk rock. His obsession with punk music, culture, and especially record collecting began with a loaned mix tape in a small town in Florida when he was a teenager and slowly took over all aspects of his life.

He started a record label and distribution company, opened a record store, managed a thriving bootleg merchandise empire, published a magazine, promoted shows, and traveled the world with his own band. He mentored generations of younger punks and built a movement that put Florida on the map. He stayed a step ahead of all the ups and downs of the music industry, always pioneering.

Join Bob as he hangs out with punk luminaries like Jello Biafra, The Meatmen, Raw Power, Black Flag, The Dead Boys, Millions of Dead Cops, Rattus, and more. He relates his (mis)adventures breaking his curfew to see the Dead Boys' last show, almost getting arrested after seeing the Ramones, touring with his bands in Egypt, Ecuador, Brazil, and more.

As Jeff Nelson of Minor Threat said, "Really brings to life the early days of the American punk scene as it spread slowly across the country, through turntables, fanzines, and word of mouth. His vivid vinyl recollections illustrate how good record stores and adventurous college radio stations were so essential in bringing startling new music into the lives of many previously isolated kids. It follows the trajectory of a kid-turned-concert-promoter as his passion for music became all-consuming." 

Then one day it all fell apart. He'd built up his life like a record collection, but it didn't satisfy him anymore. He sold everything, dropped out, moved far from home to start fresh... and wrote this book.

Crate Digger is written in short spurts tied to actual records. The result is real, heartfelt, and deeply informed by the music of the last thirty years. It's a basic piece of your punk history collection. 

"Bob Suren delivers some great punk rawk history through anecdote and wit, intermingled with personal stories of love, loss, the characters that have come and gone and that elusive hunk of vinyl that's just around the next corner.... All spanning 30 years of Bob's life." 

- Ami Lawless, Voetsek 

"More than just your typical "record guide," Crate Digger allows us to accompany Bob on his passionate 30+ year punk rock journey. The anecdotal approach reminds us that, for the passionate music fan, there's a personal connection to a particular record that often conjures up various memories, both good and bad." 

- Al Quint, Suburban Voice magazine and Sonic Overload Radio.

Mama Maria Approves of Miley & Patrick

Too Much Cuteness!

It's Friday the 13th, T.G.I.F. and all that jazz. Love is in the air it seems that Miley Cyrus and Patrick Schwarzenegger are getting very serious. 

Patrick's sister Katherine stated to Extra: "I think they're adorable," so do I Katherine "If my brother's happy, I'm happy and that's all that matters to me. You just want your sibling to be happy, if they're with someone who makes them happy and in a happy healthy relationship then I'm happy."

Most importantly Mama Maria Shriver, a woman who I respect for many reasons really thinks Ms. Cyrus is a terrific girl and approves of the deepening bond between Miley and her son. 

Now THAT is a seal of approval! You go you two!

OMG! They're Naked! Chelsea Handler & Nick Offerman

Extra, extra! "Women & Men: An Issue About Our Current Difficulties" that's what the current issue of Esquire proclaims to be all about. Yes, the mag stakes claim that the entire issue is "devoted entirely to how men and women interact." Men & Women interacting, oh my the drama. 

While we are all quite accustomed to viewing Handler's ample and beautiful breasts, we are not nearly as used to seeing her derriere. 

The usually clothed Offerman, who is one of the stars of Parks and Recreation is no stranger to flashing his junk. He bared everything in 2014 on Deadwood. That being stated he is not someone we see doing this on a regular basis. 

"I love performing -- and I'm not an exhibitionist, I'm not a Kardashian, by any stretch. And I'm not built in the way that people regularly ask me to bare myself," he told Flavorwire of stripping down on camera. "But when things call for it, I've done it on stage, I've done it on screen...I enjoy the beauty of nature." 


Bounce those hot booty's you two!

TBT: Pretty Little Liars "A is for Answers"

Everybody Run, Hanna Marin Has A Gun!

With only one more episode to go until the Big "A" reveal it's time for another Throwback Thursday Pretty Little Liars post.

This still is from Season 4 Episode 24 bearing the title "A is for Answers." 

I'm really not sure if anything got answered in this one, but I have always wondered why Hanna never shot "A" and how she learned to brandish a gun like that.

Yes, I find Hanna's behavior, especially of late highly suspicious. She has gotten real tough and edgy behind bars and does not seem all that phased by any of it.

My niece Shauna Waters agrees. She doesn't want the big "A" to turn out to be Hanna because she loves the character so much. Me I personally would love it to be her, it would take the show to a whole new level of entertaining.

What's that you say? Oh, yeah Hanna's in jail and they keep showing a shadowy figure at the end of each episode doing sinister things. Well they did introduce a character who goes by the name of Varjack, who is not necessarily "A," perhaps it is them we see, hmmmmmmmm?

Just a thought.

Shauna and myself are probably wrong about Hanna, but honestly isn't her behavior getting less flighty and more calculated? Just sayin'.

Kerry Washington "Don't Cry For Me Lena Dunham"

Two Wild & Crazy Women: Lena Dunham & Kerry Washington

This is a follow-up to the fact that Girls star Lena Dunham landed her dream job as a guest star on the hit show Scandal.

"I started to cry when I saw the actual OPA set," she says.

Oh girl, please don't cry. Do I need to send you a floral arrangement? Kidding my dear, I love it when celebrities let their geek flag fly! It is so endearing.

So here is the 411 on Lena's episode. She plays a woman whose name is Kinky Sue, the name is so catchy there should be a song sung by Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga called The Ballad of Kinky Sue.

What's the title of the episode? Well it certainly isn't called Where's The Black Lady, no, it's called It's Good To Be Kink.

Cheers to you Kinky Sue!
