Derek Luke on The Bonnie Hunt Show

January 13, 2009 By Leave a Comment

As much as I hear about pop culture, I was not aware that Derek Luke is playing Puffy in the new “Notorious” flick!  Puffy?  Really?

Derek Luke is an amazing actor whom I fell in love with after seeing “Antwone Fisher.”  He also did an amazing job in the Spike Lee film, “Miracle at Santa Anna.” It seems that even he had reservations about playing the hip hop mogul, he says he turned down the role a few times!

He chats about the risks he took to get into films, his reservations on playing Puffy, his humble beginnings and being married for 10 years.  I wish Bonnie would have chatted with him longer!

“Notorious” hits theaters this Friday.

Singer/Actress Jennifer Hudson has been mourning the tragic death of her mother, brother and young nephew for the last two months.

E! News is reporting that she is ready for her return.  We have not seen her at all during this very tough time and I really hope that she feels ready to comeback so soon.

She is confirmed as a performer the National Anthem during the Superbowl on February 1st.

“She certainly can nail it,’” a source just told me. “She proved it at the Democratic National Convention.”

I can’t wait to see her!

Violet Affleck was spotted yesterday being picked up at school by her gorgeous daddy Ben Affleck. Would you look at her adorable “Big Sister” shirt she is wearing! Well we can all share her joy, a source is confirming that Violet’s new baby sister is named Seraphina Rose Elizabeth Affleck.

I haven’t decided yet how I feel about the name.  I can at least say it’s no Bronx Mowgli or Zuma Nesta Rock!  I bet big sister Violet will nickname her Sera.

Congrats to the Afflecks!

Jason Priestly MIGHT return to 90210!

January 13, 2009 By Leave a Comment

jpriestlyIn the past, actor/director Jason Priestly has been completely against bringing back his 90210 character Brandon back.  In a recent interview with tvguide.com he confesses if the story was “right” he would do it!

TVGuide.com: So come on, when is Brandon going to show up on 90210?
Priestley: If Jeff and Gabe were to come up with a decent storyline for Brandon, I’d consider it. I’m very happy to be directing though. It’s a challenge, and it’s a lot of fun for me to be on set.

The discouraging part of his interview is when he says he feels that the old characters, “muddy the waters.” This couldn’t be farther from the truth. I know so many fans that love just getting little updates and finding out what has happened to their favorite characters. Seeing Jennie Garth and Shannon Doherty join the show, no matter how short lived, is what brings the old fans back.

TVGuide.com: But the fans want you guys back!
Priestley: It’s a totally different environment and show. At some point in time, if you continue to bring back all the old characters, it just muddies the waters of the new show. The new show has to stand on its own.

Priestly also confesses that he is still in contact with the most popular 90210 alum, Luke Perry!

TVGuide.com: So will we ever see Dylan on the new show?
Priestley: I can honestly say that Luke has no interest in coming back.

Even though he sounds pretty confident, I will still keep hoping. Dylan is Kelly’s baby daddy after all.

In the interim, I guess we should be happy that Brenda might be sticking around for a few more episodes and that Donna will be coming back.  I just wish Brenda would cut this mature act and go back to being a bitch.

Ah the good ol’ days!

We can all breathe a little bit easier now. Everyone’s favorite bald-headed t.v. game show host, Howie Mandel has checked out of the hospital.

Mandel was admitted to St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto last night after he fainted. His mother Evy Mandel said her son is doing fine.

“They could have let him go but they said, ‘Hey, you know what, let’s keep you here overnight,’” she said. “I’m just thankful he is fine and, like I say, it has never happened before.”

Howie is in Toronto filming a new reality show entitled, “Howie Do It.” He is expected to be back at work today.
