Will Ferrell Joins Steve Carell's Last Days on The Office


World's Greatest Boss
It looks like Will Ferrell and Steve Carell will be working together once again, as the Worlds Best Boss steps away from his job from The Office. Will Ferrell apparently contacted the network because he is a fan of the show and wanted to give Steve Carell a proper send off as Carell is leaving the show just four episodes before the season finale. (Personally, I’d like him to stay to the end of the season, but maybe they want to see how the show can continue without him when he leaves? ie: ratings)

Why has the office been such a huge success? Is it because the majority of us have worked in an office and its easy to relate to people you see on the show? Or is it  because you know one of them, or are one of them? Office Politics have never been more funny as they are on The Office. Maybe that is because they aren't happening to you. LOLWhatever the reason, The Office will never be quite the same with out their star, Steve Carell.

Will Ferrell will be on The Office for Carell’s last three episodes, plus one more after he leaves the show. Ferrell will be playing a branch manager who comes from the home office and is just as inappropriate as Michael Scott. This could be very interesting and funny! Source People.com  



 Will The Office be able to continue much longer without Michael Scott? Or will the show just be...okay?

Smallville-Chloe is BACK!


All NEW Episode Tomorrow on the CW. Chloe comes back and Clark doesn't know if he can trust her or not. I'm sure there will be a scene of Chloe and Oliver reuniting!

Here is the official synopsis from KryptonSite:

Clark (Tom Welling), Oliver (Justin Hartley), Lois (Erica Durance) and Dinah (guest star Alaina Huffman)are released by the VRA after being captured at Hawkman’s funeral but each of them have flashbacks of Chloe (Allison Mack) holding them against their will. When Chloe returns, Dinah warns the others that Chloe may now be a traitor. Oliver dismisses her concerns but Clark is unsure if he can trust Chloe after she disappeared without an explanation.

Dun Dun DUN!


I've also heard rumors of Lana returning, and I even saw her name a week or so ago, as part of the cast on IMDB. I just checked again today and for now her name is removed. Not sure if she will come back to the show. I just hope we can get Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) back.

Do you think Chloe has gone to the dark side from knowing the future? A possibility since in past episodes when people from the future come back to help Clark, they never learned about Chloe. Or is it because she erased her name and existence?

I'll post more pics of the episode next week.

Edward & Bella Start a Family

I found some exclusive pics to the upcoming movies of Breaking Dawn. This pic is from their wedding. Look at Bella...could she look anymore bored? After all it's your wedding day. Its called acting sister!

I'm not a huge Robert Pattinson fan, but look how adorable he is with their baby. There is something really cute about Dad's with their daughters. From the picture you can't really tell how vampire-ish Renesmee is. Glad they were able to snap this picture because the next day she will be at least two years old. That is what happens when you have a half vampire/human baby.

Mackenzie Foy, plays (Renesmee-their half vampire/human daughter) Edward and Bella's daughter in Breaking Dawn Part Two.

Mackenzie is 10 years old, and will appear in the second movie of Breaking Dawn. Machenzie has been seen in a few TV episodes which include: 'Till Death, Flashforward, Hawaii 5-0, and will now star in her biggest role yet, in breaking Dawn.



The Happiest Family I know

In the picture below, I'm not 100% it's legit. But then again, I've never seen Bella as a vampire either. Edward just looks pissed off, and maybe he is mad that Bella had to become a vampire after giving birth, and that he now has a half blood as a daughter? Who knows? You'd think for a family photo they wouldn't look like they wanted to die especially because Bella is so happy that she can live forever with Edward, and she became the Vampire she always wanted to be. OR maybe they just found out that Jacob imprinted their daughter? I know that happens when she is a baby and while they are away from home.



The actors have already completed filming Breaking Dawn Part 1, and are already filming Breaking Dawn Part 2.

Here is a better look of Mackenzie, holding her stuffed animal, on her way to work. She looks so excited! I would be too if Jacob imprinted me. I think she might be the only 10 year old that already has a husband lined up. Maybe she is bringing him a toy to play with while he is a wolf? I guess we'll have to wait over a year to find out?

Some say she looks exactly like what Robert Pattinson's and Kristen Stewart's baby would look like. It looks as though they did a great job on casting the part!
Breaking Dawn Part 1 (Part of the Twilight Saga) will be in theaters November 18, 2011.

Out For the 'Money' or is it Fame?


For those who watch the Bachelor with Brad, who is making a repeat visit to the show, (since he didn't pick anyone the first time around), there is an annoying girl by the name of Michelle Money from SLC, UT. In Monday Nights episode she mysteriously got a black eye and didn't know how it happened. I heard reports of the top ten things you don't know about Michelle on the radio, and appearently, it was also reported on ABC 4 here in Utah.

There is a post of 10 things you don't know about her. Here are a few to get you by.

1. Michelle is an actress with six credits on her IMDb profile, including roles in The Eleventh Hour, The Legend of Awesomest Maximus, Justin Time, and the upcoming film Midway to Heaven, which will be released on February 4.

4. She seems to know Ian Ziering. She's posing with the actor in this December 5, 2008, photo from Juma Entertainment's 17th Annual Deer Valley Celebrity Skifest in Deer Valley, Utah.

7. The rumors circulating about her are not pretty. People who comment on articles about her are quick to bring up unsubstantiated stories from her past. As abc4girl writes at the end of the ABC story, "Michelle Cartwright Money. Here is her DIRT: ambition is ACTRESS. Was married to Ryan Money. Cheated on him. Had adulterous relationship with Jazz player Boozer. Tried to extort $16,000 to pay credit card bill or threatened to tell his wife (now ex wife). Her claims to be family oriented are shallow at best. What she is oriented toward is a career in fame or infamy."

An anonymous poster on Bachelorlove.Blogspot.com writes, "Michelle is definitely a gold digger, and is known in the SLC as a home wrecker as well. She is the one (or at least one of the ones) that had an affair with Carlos Boozer (while she was also married) before Carlos' wife left him, but not before she continued to extort him for a home, and to pay off her credit card debt, in which he did. I am not just someone that reads gossip columns, I live in SLC and have connections to Michelle Cartwright Money in more than one way."

***

Appearently, Michelle is from an active LDS Family. Here is a question for you, why do all the weird people from Utah go on TV, Minus David Archuleta? We have the Sister Wives-that have now moved to Las Vegas and Michelle Money. I hope people don't think that everyone from Utah are weirdos.
To read more please visit The Bachelor-Wet Paint for more of the top ten things you don't know about Michelle Money, and visit ABC 4 SLC Utah, with comments from her anonymous friend at the end of the post..

A better pic of Oprah's Sister


Anna asked for a better look of Oprah's half sister. Yesterday, I spent a lot of time looking for one and I had a hard time finding the one I did. You'd think they'd be all plastered all over the internet. After a bit more digging this morning, I found one. It's still a side pic, but its a little better than the one I posted yesterday. I know on Oprah.com you can check out video still of her and her half sister.

I heard people say that Patricia looks a lot like Oprah's mom. You be the judge.

Oprah & Her Newly Found Half Sister


Wouldn’t it be weird to find out later in life you had a long lost half sister? On Monday, Oprah shared with the world that she in fact had a half sister who had been given up for adoption when she was nine years old. Oprah at the time was living with her father and never knew about her half sister. She never even knew mom was pregnant.


Patricia (Oprah’s Half Sister) always longed to be apart of a family and started her quest into finding who her birth mother was. She had suspicions that she was Oprah’s sister. Her son researched Oprah’s history and found out from her records that things matched up.

Patricia tried contacting her birth mother through the agency but the agency told her, her mother didn’t want to meet her. On that same day Patricia was watching the news that just happened to be on Oprah’s mom, who talked about two children she had lost, and the dates matched her papers from the adoption agency. Oprah’s mom said one of her children who died was also named Patricia, which she also knew she had a sister with the same name.

Patricia found a restaurant owned by her dead sister’s daughter. (Oprah’s niece) They took a DNA test to prove for sure. Sure enough, she was her aunt.

Patricia knew since 2007 that she and Oprah were half sisters, and never considered selling the story.

The two met for the first time at Thanksgiving.

Oprah confronted her mom about why she never told her about her half sister, and she said she was embarrassed that she gave up her baby because she couldn’t care for her, and get off of welfare.
Oprah said this about her half sister:
"She coming into the family at this time has been a great peace offering, a great symbol of peace-making in this family," Winfrey said. "I would say I see her as a gift." quote from People.com

This is a pretty amazing story. Have you ever known someone this has happened too? Meeting a sister or brother you knew nothing about? Do you know someone this happened to? How would you react?

Pretty Little Liars: Careful What U Wish 4


Who watched Pretty Little Liars last night? Another great episode, but I kind of got bored with Spencer looking for her laptop the whole episode. After watching a more extended version of the video, the girls decide its time to take it to the cops. Spencer has her bag with her the whole day that holds her computer, and when they get ready to leave, her computer is gone.


The girls suspect Ian for taking her computer since he walked in, right after they watched the video and he acted kind of weird. He would have a lot of reasons to take the laptop and get rid of the video. Which is another reason why he isn’t A. He doesn’t want anyone to know that he kissed Spencer, Melissa’s sister whom he just married. I think he knows more than he is letting on, but I don’t think he is A. They put a lot of focus on him this week, and that makes me think he’s just another pawn to get you to think he has something to do with it.

Hanna gets blackmailed by A to dance with Lucas to earn some of the money back that A stole from her house. She leaves Sean to dance with Lucas the whole night. The dance’s started at $200 dollars a dance and eventually went up. Emily called Hanna worse than Allison at leading him on when she isn’t interested in him. Hanna feels bad but feels torn about getting the money back her mom stole. (Okay she is starting to sound super messed up now. LOL Really it is her mom’s fault for stealing the money in the first place. Its not like Hanna took the money and left some scraps for her mom. Don’t you think it’s interesting that Hanna’s friend had the idea to have the party at her house where the money is? Could she be A?)

Emily has the girl friends gone to North Star Camp wows. She pays some guy to crack her phone so she can call Maya, who doesn’t sound like she is interested in talking to her. Emily gets drunk, and Spencer offers her to stay at her house. (There’s a line from She’s the Man, I’d like to use right now. “Suck it up, be a man. Rub some dirt in it!”)

Mr. Fitz before his hair do-over
 Aria gets jealous from an old babysitter who comes into town. Aria’s mom sets the babysitter and Mr. Fitz together on a date, and they seem to hit it off. After the dance, Aria confronts Mr. Fitz about her concerns and how he could be in a normal relationship with someone else, and he proclaims that he is already in love with someone else. (Awwh! Precious! Just when we thought he and Aria were going to split for good he declares his love for a 16 or 17 year old. AND Did anyone else notice that Mr. Fitz had a new hair due? Way better than in previous episodes. He usually looks like he just woke up and didn't care what his hair looked like. This isn't even the worse his hair has looked for the show. It was like they were trying to make him look more young and hip with some Beiber Fever look to his hair. Now He looks a lot older, swave, teacherish, and a lot more attractive. I think I can handle a few more weeks of Mr. Fitz, if you know what I mean. LOL)

Mr Fitz ...Yummy Mr. Fitz...I mean School Teacher

Spencer get’s her laptop back at the end of the episode, and instead of the video being on her laptop, there is a picture of Alison right before she leaves. The girls discover that there is a shadow of someone watching her, and then the camera turns on Spencer. I always thought Spencer had a little something more to do with Allison. I think she knows more than she is letting on. I believe she followed Allison because she figured out that she was going to meet a guy.

At the end of the episode it shows A picking up a leather jacket and some gloves from the dance party A checked in. Aria’s mom helped A…whoever A is.

***

The preview for next week showed that the girls are starting to split up and may not be friends. I think A is up to a little dirty work here in the next episode or two. Amanda, one of our devoted readers gave me this link with some great spoilers. The season ends with more info on A, but another question arise, but you won’t have to wait too long because PLL is coming back for season number two, which starts in the Summer.

Fringe: Firefly Recap


Friday’s episode was amazing! If you didn’t catch the show, I’ll recap it from what I remember. This episode had a lot to do with the observer. He was spotted lots of different places and even saved a girls life.

Walter is trying to make a brain enhancer so that he can retrieve some of his memories that Bell took from him. Throughout the episode, Walter continues to perfect the brain enhancer, and mixes it with milk and puts it in the fridge to drink later.

Olivia receives a package, and inside is a book and a note from Peter. The note reads, “Because you asked. Peter” Olivia returns the book to Peter because it was meant for the other Olivia. Peter tells her that it’s for her, but she gives him back the book anyways.




Christopher Lloyd co-stars in the episode, playing an old famous keyboard player from Walter’s favorite band. Christopher Lloyd stopped playing when his son died, and on camera he was scene talking to a kid and the Observer was scene and the Fringe division was right on the case looking to find an answer as to why he was there. Christopher Lloyd’s character can’t remember what happened and Walter befriends his new famous friend to find out what his son might have said to him. He later finds out that he is there to help him with something.

We come to find out since Walter took Peter from the other side; it has thrown the universe off balance. The observer said that he figured out a way that he can put the universe back in balance, and needs Walter’s help. He told him when the boy asks for her keys, give him the keys. Walter is tried, knowing the Observer could take his son away from him for good. And when he hears Peter say those words, he doesn’t know if he is ready to let him go. Peter talks his dad into giving him the keys and Peter takes off after the Observer. When Peter catches up, the Observer shots Peter with this bright light that knocks him over.

Peter and Olivia go back to the lab after chasing the Observer, and Peter has a head ache. Olivia asks Peter why the book is his favorite. He said he knows that he can be a hard guy to figure out, and that he’s used to being on his own, and being independent. Not letting others in.

Peter takes something for his headache and finds the milk (Walter’s brain milk), and then Peter gets a seizer from drinking the milk. Olivia calls Walter, and he tells her what she can give him to overcome the seizer, but ends up overcoming it himself. Walter chalks it up the Observer saving Walter’s life because he knows his body couldn’t handle the seizer.

At the very end of the episode it shows two Observers talking about Walter and how he has changed. Now they knew if Walter was asked to give up his son again, he would do it.

The preview for the next episode showed them walking into a building where the machine from the other world was put together. The people putting the machine together hadn’t gotten any response from the machine until Peter walks in. Dun dun dun…

****

WOW! Amazing episode! I really love this season! I know it’s only been a few episodes, but I’m ready for Olivia to get over how Peter was with the Other Olivia. It’s not like he was going after her on purpose knowing it wasn’t his Olivia. I think that she did make a step in accepting the book from Peter though. You can tell Peter feels really bad about what happened. I do think it will be a while before Olivia can really forgive Peter. I’m sure that would be hard knowing that someone you think you love like the wrong version of you. I guess I think of this…Hello! He’s also Joshua Jackson! What are you thinking?! But then again, she doesn’t know he was on Dawson’s Creek or Mighty Ducks. LOL

It will be interesting to see what happens when Peter figures out what the machine can do, and what he will do with that knowledge.



I’m so glad Fringe is back on TV. It was a long Christmas break for me!

Mario Lopez: Saved By The Baby


Mario Lopez played AC Slater on Saved by the bell. Mario charmed thousands of girls with his huge biceps and dimples. His character played the star football, and wrestling player. He did his best to steal Kelly Kapowski away from Zack Morris. I always loved his relationship with Jessie Spano, and all the funny nicknames he would call her. He'd do just about anything to win her back, even if it meant wearing spandex and dancing to win her back.

AC Slater also had a hair style that most of us cringe at the sight of one...a mullet. It was after all the style back then, and he pulled it off better than most people. I personally love his new hair style much, much better. Mario has come a long way from his character from Saved by the Bell. What was Mario up to before and after the Bell?

Kids Incorporated: Drummer 1984-1986 (Tell me you all remember Kids Incorporated. My sister and I used to watch this show every week. Fergie was also on that show. She looks a lot different now.)
The Golden Girls: Mario 1987
Pacific Blue: Bobby Cruz 1998-2000
The Bold And The Beautiful: Dr. Christian Ramírez 2006
Holiday In Handcuffs: David Martin 2007
Nip/Tuck: Dr. Mike Hamoui 2010

After the Bell:
Dancing with the Stars
Saved by the Baby: His own TV Show about him becoming a father
Hosting Jobs: Naming a few
Miss Teen USA
Miss America
Miss Universe
America's Best Dance Crew
Extra

In 2003 Mario proposed to his girlfriend who is an actress/model Ali Landry, but he was caught cheating on her the day before at his Bachelor Party, and also the day after their wedding. The marriage was annulled two weeks later.

Mario Danced his way to the final three of Dancing With The Stars and started to date his dancing partner, Karina Smifnoff. Whom he dated from 2006-June of 2008. Don't fell to bad for Mario because just a few months later he found his current girlfriend, Courtney Mezza. In the fall of 2010 Courtney and Mario welcomed their daughter Gia into the world. Mario is capturing the whole thing on camera. You can watch him as a dad, and boyfriend on, Saved By The Baby. It looks like they have already released 10 Episodes on VH1. Has anyone seen this?

Mario also has two healthy books out, called, Mario Lopez Knockout Fitness, and Extra Lean.

Mario has had a pretty steady career. To find out more you can visit IMDB.

Mario has already had an amazing career in front of the camera. When I watched the Saved By The Bell True Hollywood Story, they talked about how much he enjoyed the attention being in the lime light. Plus the camera really likes him. :) I guess that is also why he has his own reality TV show. 

This is one of my favorite moments of Mario on SBTB. It's where he dances and kisses Gumby and thinks it Tori who wants to play a little trick on Slater and Zach. I couldn't find a shorter clip so if you want to skip to that scene, its about 5:45 into the clip.
