Josh Duhamel Returns to All My Children

katy — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 17:10:50 +0000

Most of you girls out there might have to skip work and take the day off to watch the final episodes of All My Children on ABC, as the show draws to a close this fall. Josh Duhamel is up for a cameo role as his old character in Pine Valley, Leo du Pres. Yeah, you read that right! Now you can scream into that pillow an breathe. You’re handsome strapping Transformers GI has signed up for this short comeback in honor of the show that took him on an express ride to stardom.

Duhamel rose to fame playing Leo du Pres in this long-running daytime soap. He even won an Emmy in 2002 for his con artist character. His love interest in the show , Greenlee , who is played by Rebecca Budig, is also back on the set after leaving the program a few time since Josh Duhamel left the show in 2003.

True enough, the cameo appearance of Leo will be one of the highlights of this season ender as we may also expect another on-screen affair between du Pres and Greenlee.

Apparently, Josh Duhamel isn’t the only actor doing a comeback to his soap beginnings before their beloved series takes the axe. Julian Moore, who starred in As the World Turns many moons ago, also returned to the show last year just prior to the soap leaving the airwaves. On January 2012, ABC will see One Life to Live bowing out of the tubes. We may just as well see many big screen stars doing their own returns to this soap before it finally sees its last episode on air. These could include, Ryan Phillipe and Tommy Lee Jones.

Sarah Michelle Gellar Returns to Television

katy — Mon, 23 May 2011 16:46:05 +0000

For all you Buffy fans, guess who’s back from the vampire grave? After an 8 year break, Sarah Michelle Gellar resurrects onto the boob tube for CW network with its drama series “Ringer”.

Although Gellar had already considered a TV comeback two years ago, she made it clear that she wanted to get back on cable. The actress also wanted to make sure that her fans would love whatever she does on TV as much as they loved growing up with Buffy. Her new project seems to hold a lot of promise but is yet to prove its boob tube appeal with Buffy’s loyal fans.

The new CW series features Gellar’s role as a twin. A recovering addict who is estranged from her wealthy twin sister, and goes on the run when she witnessed a murder. The story line boasts of a juicy plot and reveals a lot of shocking twists. This project was previously made for CBS but they passed it on to its sister network CW. Although the series is still in progress and only has the pilot on the table, it remains unsure if it will run as a full series.

After her stint with “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and the show came to a close in 2003, Gellar dipped her toes in “ The Grudge” and did some voice over for “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”. She also married long time boyfriend Freddie Prinze Jr in September of 2001. The couple now have a daughter.

Splashpress Media — Sun, 09 May 2010 00:40:42 +0000

May 18th is the date that you'll be able to get your hands on the last Glee soundtrack planned for Season 1. Along with Volumes 1 and 2, and the special Power of Madonna soundtrack, Volume 3 marks the fourth disc the freshman show has released, making Glee quite the cash cow for Fox.

Volume 3 features songs from the final episodes of the season, so one assumes that the performances featured in the show choir's Regionals competition will be included. Here's the full track list; songs marked with a * are exclusive to the deluxe edition.

Adam’s AMAs Performance Shocks Viewers

Gina — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 04:30:24 +0000

I didn't want to use the word "shock," but that's what people are saying. Good Morning America canceled Adam's appearance following the controversial performance he gave at the AMAs. They say he's alienating his fans. I think he's just being himself and trying to prove his flair for showmanship as well. Does anyone disagree?

Gina — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:59:18 +0000

That’s what he says – that fans will be getting the shock of their lives soon. He has joined VH1′s Celebrity Fit Club and is expected to loose LOTS of the weight that he has gained. It’s not impossible, so go get ‘em tiger!

Oprah To Quit For Real

Gina — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:49:45 +0000

Oprah is going to have her last show today, and there’s supposed to be a big announcement – it’s probably about her plans for the future. She’s already said something about closing down The Oprah Winfrey Show but she held back, saying that the announcement will be made during the last airing. Hold on to your seats tonight, ladies and gentlemen! Oh, and bring lots of tissue – I have a feeling you’re gonna need it.

Gina — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 03:45:26 +0000

Goodbye reality TV, hello…crime TV? Kim Kardashian’s one-time participation in the hit series CSI was very well documented – by the actress herself. She posted some pictures while she was getting ready for the shoot (yes, that’s the one up there). Fans can watch the December 16 episode to see how she does.

Whitney Houston On DWTS

Gina — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 03:32:32 +0000

The diva is expanding her horizons – by joining the people at Dancing With The Stars. I am pretty sure she can hold her own when it comes to dancing, but how will her interaction with the rest of cast be? Oh, she is NOT joining as a contestant. She will just be a guest in the finale of the show. Isn’t that more special?

Protests Over Glee’s “Disabled” Member

Gina — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 05:07:09 +0000

Glee has caught the attention of a lot of viewers, and no wonder! It does make you feel good – the musical numbers does wonders for your spirit. Then again, the half-baked plot, the stereotypes, and sometimes pithy lines may turn you off. What turns others off, though, is the fact that the character who is in a wheelchair (Artie) is not really disabled in real life. Robert David Hall from CSI, who wears artificial legs, says that this is not right – that they “robbed” a real disabled person of his shot at the role. Do you agree with him?

Eat your heart out Donald Trump! Simon Cowell has been named the highest earning guy on TV by Forbes, which reported that last year, he earned a whopping $75 million! Thanks to the millions of American Idol fans, I should say.

Maybe if I join DWTS, I’ll be like Kelly Osbourne. Then again, she’s a star, and I am not! Anyhow, she has lost 20 freakin’ pounds because of the show. She says she’s *bleep* starving right now, though. Keep them off, girl!

When Sarah And Oprah Meet…

“Going Rogue: An American Life,” is the title of Sarah Palin’s memoir, which is due to be released on November 17. A day before that, however, she is going to sit down with the talkshow queen, Oprah Winfrey. This should be a very interesting rendezvous to say the least!

John Stamos: Drunk On Australian TV

Gina — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:12:01 +0000

Actor John Stamos admitted that he went on Australian TV p*** drunk. In 2007, he made a “bizarre” appearance on the show Mornings with Kerri-Anne. Now he says the reason for the bizarreness is…alcohol. Oooh, wonder?

Michael Lohan To Jon Gosselin: Let’s Box!

Gina — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 02:14:04 +0000

There’s no animosity between the two – it’s just that Michael Lohan urged Jon Gosselin to join the Celebrity Boxing Federation. Jon declined, however. Still, they have something to look forward to: The Divorced Dads Club. Before Jon can join up, though, he has to get out of his contract with TLC.

SNL Pokes Fun At Letterman

Gina — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 03:23:35 +0000

David Letterman is never going to hear the end of his extortion case, is he? After Jay Leno cracked his own joke, SNL followed suit. Weekend Update anchor Seth Meyers had something to say; he said that it was a “stupid human trick.” I guess it’s funnier if you actually watch the show.

Jon Gosselin: Dipping Into Joint Account?

Gina — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 03:19:07 +0000

Are these two never going to stop? The latest is that Kate Gosselin is accusing her husband of taking out $200,000 from their joint account. Jon has not said anything yet, but I am sure we will hear from him. Do you think Kate’s telling the truth?

Jay Leno: Also A Victim Of Extortion?

Gina — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 16:29:58 +0000

Rival David Letterman has been “enjoying” a lot of extra publicity because of his extortion case. Jay Leno just couldn’t let that one go, and said in his own show that he is also a victim of extortion. How do? He poses this question: “How do think NBC got me to do a 10 o’clock show?”
Now it is kinda funny, isn’t it?

David Letterman: Extortion Over Sexual Affairs

Gina — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 11:52:24 +0000

Photos of David Letterman’s sexual affairs may be the last thing that you would want to see, but someone has been trying to get money out of the talk show host. Letterman himself talked about the incident in his show, which I guess is the right route to take. And yes, he admitted to having affairs.

Kate Plus Eight Suspended

Gina — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 07:42:26 +0000

And it’s not because of the kids or the mom. It’s actually due to Jon’s “erratic” behavior. TLC has issued a statement saying that despite inaccurate statements from Jon, he is still under contract and his behavior is only harming everyone involved. As such, filming has been suspended. Are we really going to miss the show anyway?

Michelle Obama To Visit Sesame Street

Gina — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 04:44:09 +0000

It’s so cool! The First Lady is going to join iconic Sesame Street on its 40th anniversary! She is going to promote gardening and healthy eating. I haven’t watched Sesame Street in ages, but this one, I just might see.
