Monica Goes on a Downward Spiral. Review: Shameless – “A Great Cause”
“A Great Cause” is a perfect example of no matter how much things seem to change, they remain the same. Unfortunately, Fiona (Emily Rossum) learns that the hard way, as does Monica (Chloe Webb) and Sheila (Joan Cusack). We discover the surprising, but ugly truth about Mandy’s (Emma Greenwell) pregnancy, and Steve (Justin Chatwin) tries desperately to bring Estefania’s (Stephanie Fantauzzi) lover, Marco (Thierre DiCastro), to the United States.

Book Review: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
I highly recommend this novel to anyone who may be looking for something slightly off the beaten path in the way of YA novels. A strong heroine, extreme living conditions and unpredictable outcomes help The Hunger Games stand out from other dystopian novels of its kind. This is the first in a series of three and by far the best. I’ll leave it to you to decide what you think about the other two books in The Hunger Games saga.

The Vampire Diaries Panel at Paleyfest 2012 (#TVD)
To say I was excited to attend The Vampire Diaries panel at Paleyfest is an understatement. Being a fan of a show and then having the opportunity to see some of your favorite cast members up close is a thrill! Being able to see their sense of humor and personalities, aside from their characters, there isn’t anything better for a fan (except maybe to touch Ian Somerhalder or have him put his arm around you when you take a photo with him and confess your unquenchable lust…)

Review: #JustifiedFX “Loose Ends” (“There’s a war coming…” I wish it would hurry because I’m getting antsy!)
“There’s a war coming; you really wanna see Noble’s become a battleground?” ~ Raylan For a moment, I think of Game of Thrones.. But we are nowhere near Winterfell. I won’t lie and say I didn’t enjoy the episode however; I will be honest and say it left me wanting. It’s episode nine for Pete’s sake and I’m ready for the Quarles-Crowder-Givens-Limehouse battle to commence!

On Monday, March 12, 2012, I participated in a conference call with two of my favorite actors, Mary McCormack and Frederick Weller from USA Network’s In Plain Sight.

There’s only one week until the workshop and everyone is stressed out. Derek (Jack Davenport) is angry with Julia (Debra Messing), Tom (Christian Borle) is angry with Derek (as usual), and Ivy (Megan Hilty) is on the verge of losing her voice. “Chemistry” deals with the chemistry between Michael (Will Chase) and Julia; Ivy and Derek; Eileen (Angelica Huston) and Ellis (Jaime Cepero).

Mary’s a Mom! Advance Review, In Plain Sight – “The Anti-Social Network” @InPlainSightUSA
It used to be having a show on Friday primetime was its death knell. But that all changed when such series as Blue Bloods, Grimm and Supernatural began to flourish. Now, In Plain Sight has been added to the ever-growing list of Friday night must-watch TV when the series switches nights for its final season beginning March 16, 2012 at 10/9c on the USA network.

It’s Party Time at the Gallaghers! Review: Shameless – “Hurricane Monica” @SHO_Kareem @SHO_Shameless
So Peg (Louise Fletcher) dies and Frank (William H. Macy) moves Monica (Chloe Webb), the kids’ mom, into the Gallagher household? What’s up with that? No one likes her and they can’t believe Frank does this. Don’t they have enough to deal with without having an unwanted mother constantly underfoot disrupting their routine? I’m shocked that Frank feels the need to have Monica around and I’m not sure what her real reason is for staying. I know she says she wants to make up for missed time but honestly, do you believe that? Nah, me neither.
