Okay, let’s clarify that. Jennifer Love Hewitt, star and producer of Ghost Whisperer, is now engaged to her long-time beau, Scottish actor Ross McCall. Huh! And here I thought she was still with Alec Baldwin. When did that end? Anyway, the video below, of her song BareNaked, confirms that she should stick to acting.

The Big Bang Theory: Review of Premiere
0 Comments Published by Raj Dash November 19th, 2007 in TV shows, YouTube, Big Bang TheoryWhen (The) Big Bang Theory first premiered late this Fall, I thought that it had a lot of potential but needed something else to make it stronger. This is because most of the actors are generally unknowns, with maybe the exception of Kaley Cuoco (8 Simple Rules, Charmed) and Sara Gilbert (The Class, Roseanne).
However, with […]

Yikes. Huh? Devilishly handsome actor Jerry O’Connell - now married to lovely Rebecca Romijn, ex Stamos) is in a new ABC sitcom, Carpoolers. Did I miss something? First, Miguel Ferrer appears on the new Bionic Woman (which isn’t too bad). I’m thinking, did Ferrer leave the gripping Crossing Jordan, one of my fave TV shows […]
Smallville: The Wedding
0 Comments Published by Raj Dash March 18th, 2007 in TV shows, Smallville, Superman
Every season and every episode of Smallville has been leading up to this episode: one of the most gut-wrenchingly sad variations of the Romeo and Juliet I’ve ever seen on TV or read in print. It’s hard to describe without giving away too much - in case you haven’t seen the episode.

Stars Wars TV Series?
0 Comments Published by Raj Dash March 5th, 2007 in TV shows, Streaming media, Star WarsThe very first movie I ever paid money to see (in a theatre) was Star Wars. I’ve watched it on TV for free dozens of times since. Not as many as some people, who’ve seen it literally hundreds of times, but a lot. So I’m definitely one of those that have been hoping for some […]

Nicole Richie, daughter of former Commodore and singer Lionel Richie, and one half of the dumbest pair of actors ever to have their own TV show (The Simple Life) had a collapse - possibly due to anorexia.

It searches through the meta information that videos are usually tagged with, but it’s not particularly intelligent.
