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.

It's The Ladies Choice

My Friend Ann is in this play, and my friend Linzi and I went to the show. I honestly didn't know what to expect from the play. I mean I've seen the movie tons of times, but this is performed locally. I knew I would like it, but I didn't know I would LOVE it as much as I did. It's hilarious and the music is sung well and the cast was picked perfectly!

I highly recommend this to anyone who's looking for something fun to do in the next week or so. Its well worth the money. AND if you buy your tickets online you can pick your seat before you get there and its a few dollars cheaper than buying the ticket when you get there.

Go see it! My friend plays Prudy (Penny's mom). And if you see her after the show, tell her Amy sent you.

YouTube Friday: Don't You Want To Stay


This last weekend I watched Country Song. I really LOVED the music in the movie. It was SO good. I love country music, but I go in spurts of listening to Country or Pop. Lately, I've been in POP mode, and after watching Country Strong, I decided I'd try listening to a little more Country. Last night as I was driving home from a friends house, and this song came on the radio. It features Kelly Clarkson singing with Jason Aldean. I instantly fell in love with this song, and you might too.

Here is their live performance below that I found on YouTube. AND if you like the song enough, I have a link below for Amazon.











Remember to check out last Friday's post to enter a contest to win Music And Lyrics on DVD.

Life Unexpected Ends Unexpectedly

As promised, these two last episodes were full of emotion. And the last episode, you can tell that they knew the show was ending. The last ten minutes or so they wrap up the story pretty well.

The episode starts out where Lux's boyfriend Eric (aka Her School Teacher), starts having second thoughts about their relationship. During the Christmas break he had a lot of time to digest all that has happened to Lux, that he learned at the trial. He also realizes that he is doing the same thing as the older man who took advantage of her. He no longer wanted to be that guy. Baze's girlfriends son, tells Baze and Cate that Lux is at Tasha's house waiting for Mr. Daniels, AKA Eric. Baze and Cate coming in looking for him, and Lux of course says a lie that she was waiting for Jones. Meanwhile, when she thought Eric was coming over, He went over to Baze's place and talked to Matt and told him everything. They go back to Baze's place to find Eric there and he proceeds to tell them the whole story.

Lux, out of her furry tells Baze that his girlfriend, Emma has had an affair with his Dad, which breaks them apart, after he planned on buying a home for them.

Cate and Lux fight. Lux tries to trust Cate again after she claimed that she has never been there for her since she has come into her life. They eventually make up towards the end.

Cate ends up losing the baby that kept her and Ryan together. While Cate turns to leave the doctor after her final check up, she sees a lady that is pregnant. This is where my question comes in. Is that Ryan's old girlfriend? And does that mean she lied to him about being pregnant? Cate leaves the doctors and goes to Baze's bar where the whole gang is there helping him fix it, and then Cate says to Ryan, "We need to talk."

Then...


The Episode skips to two years later, at Lux's graduation; where she it looked like she was the Val-Victorian of her class of 2012. Odd. It would have been interesting to see her grow into a Rory Gilmore. Cate and Baze are together, Ryan was there with his old girlfriend and a two year old, and Lux and Jones are together, oh and Baze's friend Math seems to be with someone.

I know they didn't have enough time to wrap up the show they would have liked, as well as their fans, but I would have loved to see how their lives got to the point, at Lux's graduation. It was a great ending to the show even we didn't get to see two years of their lives. It was fun to see where all the characters ended up, and that they were all happy.

Life Unexpected only had 1.5 million viewers when CBS had over 14 million. I don't think they pulled in enough numbers for an amazing comeback. So for now we say, so long, Life Unexpected! You will be missed by your fans. And if you come back...we'll all be happy.

American Idol Changes Its Look. For Good Or Bad...You Be The Judge!


Tonight, American Idol begins for perhaps their final season. Randy Jackson is joined by two new judges Jennifer Lopez and Stephan Tyler, and hosted by Ryan Seacrest. I personally don't think American Idol will continue for too much longer. I think Simon was the rock of the show and it will definitely be a completely different show without him. I guess only time will tell. I do think with the new judges they'll bring in new fans that just want to watch the show because of them, and AI does have a great record of finding the newest big stars.

I always love the beginning of the show when people try out. American Idol is a big part of the American Dream-where you can become something you've only dreamt about. Its fun to watch their journey as one or two become the stars they always knew they were.

Watch American Idol every Wednesday and Thursday Nights on FOX.

Will you be watching?

Off The Map is the new LOST?


If any of you are LOST fans and are sad about the show ending, dry those teary eyes cause the show is back!  The show just changed its name to Off the Map. It's filmed in the same location as LOST, and have similar characters who looks like Sawyer, a super young Jack, Charollete, Michael, Kate, and Juliet. No Locke as of yet, but maybe they will bring him in for the season finale. He could be the smoke monster on the island but its too early for me to say.  

It looks as though LOST, I mean Off The Map, is just taking a more Grey's Anatomy take on the jungle they now call "Africa". All joking asside, I was thinking this would be a super lame sauce show, but after watching the first episode I have to say that I really liked the show. The show starts out with three young doctors coming to a small village in Africa, and the clinic depends on the jungle for its medicine.

The guy who looks a lot like Sawyer from Lost plays more or a Jack type Character (He is the Leader/the one in charge). I think this show could have great potiential if its done right. The show can definately do things that other doctor shows can't do, since they are in the jungle.

And, Hey! If you are a Twilight Fan, you'll have to watch the Original Vicotria, who lost her role in the third movie due to taking this role. Now you can watch her every week on Wednesday on ABC.

Know Your Frenemies-PLL


Another great episode. Right now there is WAY to much focus on Noel for him to be A that its getting ridiculous. I think he's just that is used to getting what he wants, and is good at manipulating others. Really...who has the audacity to reprint your assignment and give it back to your teacher, and demand a grade? And then he starts to spread the gossip around school that Mr. Fitz is dating a student. All liars end up getting caught in the end, when he is caught cheating on tests so he can plays sport.

A was pretty harsh on Hanna this episode. I felt bad for her, having to sit there and eat all the cupcakes and be teased by the guys. Of course, Noel was seen in this scene to distract the viewers, that he was watching her and making sure she ate the cupcakes. Then she finds some of the money on the paper towel roll, in the bathroom. A definitely wants her to feel humiliated. I think she may have done something to this person to make A want her to know how it feels.


I was actually really excited when Mr. Fitz was going to resign from being a teacher, and then A saves the day by getting Noel in trouble. I think that whole story has been dragged out, and he either needs to start teaching at another school, or they just need to end it. Am I the only one that feels this way?

Emily's girlfriend Maya gets sent away because Emily's mom finds some drugs in her backpack. In some ways I'm glad Maya is gone. There is something about Maya that I've never liked. I think its the way she talks. Way to sweet like that it seems super fake. Less scenes with her not in them, the better.


Spencer, Aria, and Hanna go through some of Ian's things to see if they can find any evidence that links him to Allison. After Emily and Maya have their final goodbye, A sends them a video of Allison and Ian together at the kissing rock. It shows Allison's hand that looks dead and then it moves. I don't think this is when Allison actually dies. I do think that Ian knows a little more than he is letting on, and maybe just wants his relationship with Allison a secret, and could know who killed her. Spencer and Melissa's relationship seems really fake. If you have never gotten along with your sister, why would you share secrets with her? It almost seems like she is doing it for another reason.

Two suspects that they didn't even show in this episode were Jenna and Mona. The more and more I think about it, the more and more suspicious I become of Mona. This is why. Mona and Hanna used to be best friends, then Hanna starts hanging out Allison and the gang. She could be jealous of the whole group because she was never apart of it.

In episodes to come, there are reports that Lucas and Jenna will have some surprising "secrets" revealed.

Series Finale: Life Unexpected


Don't forget to watch the series finale of Life Unexpected, tonight on the CW. This will be a two hour finale. Episode titles are Teacher Schooled and Affair Remembered.

Obviously, everyone is finally going to find out about Lux and Eric dating, and the secret of Baze's girlfriend and his dad's affair comes out in the open. These episodes will be sure to pull on your emotional cord.

Be sure to watch this show and let's send this show off with a bang, and super high ratings!

Candace Cameron: Overcoming Bulimia

We all know Candace as one of our favorite daughters from Full House, but did you know that once Full House was over, Candace battled with bulimia? After the show she had to adjust to a new life without the show, and having a husband.

My thoughts on why she became bulimic, is at the end of the day, she didn't have Stephanie or Michelle to tattle on her, when she threw up dinner. Can't you just imagine this being and episode of Full House...or was it? Even though it wasn't bulimia, didn't Stephanie or DJ not eat for a while trying to lose some weight? I think so. And can't you see Danny-making sure her bathroom had a fresh pine scent to it. Joey saying "Cut, it, out.",And Jessie saying, "Not the hair." The whole cast would help her out by the end of the episode, or getting her the help she needed. Her support system, although it was a script, a TV show, her childhood, camera's, the lights, and her TV Family was over. Life was changing in a big way for her, and I can only imagine how hard that would be to change your life, as you once knew it.

All joking aside, Bulimia is really a serious sickness, and can be very dangerous if not treated. I can't imagine what it would be like to try and retrain your way of thinking and overcoming bulimia or anorexia.

Candace said this about her battle with bulimia, "It wasn't about me trying to lose weight, It was all about emotions."

"It's a very dangerous cycle that can just start to consume your life and really take over."


Candace has now overcome Bulimia by exercising with her own full house, with husband Valeri Bure (NHL Hockey Player), and kids Natasha, 12, Lev, 10, and Maks, 8, and a diet philosophy that allows everything – including dessert.

Candace will be featured in the People Magazine Jan. 17 issue, and is releasing her new book called, Reshaping It All, sharing her diet secrets.
