    ‘ The recent network television cancellations left me reeling.  Four – yes, four – of my favorite shows – Lucifer, Scorpion, Timeless and Brooklyn Nine-Nine – were given the ax.  Though the latter was promptly rescued, I am still waiting for the #savescorpion, #savelucifer and #savetimeless cries to be heard.  If not, the Grim Cheaper…

    Connor and Gigi’s Date Restaurant from “He’s Just Not That Into You”

    ‘ Not every location from He’s Just Not That Into You was a challenge to track down.  [As I mentioned yesterday and the day before, both Janine (Jennifer Connelly) and Ben’s (Bradley Cooper) home and Conor’s (Kevin Connolly) row house listing proved to be real thorns in my side.]  Case in point, the exterior of…

    The Lounge – The Site of Britney and Justin’s Dance-Off

    ‘ If you are anything at all like me, you eagerly tuned in to watch Lifetime’”‘”‘s Britney Spears biopic Britney Ever After the evening of February 18th.  If not, you seriously missed out.  It was amazing – in the way that only bad Lifetime movies can be amazing.  The two-hour made-for-television flick chronicled a decade…
