  If you haven’t had a chance to tune into Season 2 of Drop Dead Diva, here is a run down. Once you familiarize yourself  with the charming cast and what the plot is all about, it should be pretty easy to jump into Season 2 to catch up on this fun ‘easy watching’ series. The show is based on an original story, which is very refreshing. Deb ( played by...

The Seinfeld model used on Curb Your Enthusiasm

February 10 2012

Time and time again I hear that Seinfeld is based on Larry David's life. It is not hard to believe as the man wrote 62 of the episodes for Seinfeld, one of the most successful shows in American television history. it is no wonder then that Curb Your Enthusiasm natually owns the model of success by having Larry as the semi-fictional character on the show. The key ingredient that's...

You read that right people.  The Ewings are back.  And not via some reunion special or tricky remake, but the actual series with the original characters and original stars picking up the story some 21 years later.  Think of it as season 14 (the original series had a run of 13 seasons from 1978 to 1991). “The cameras left 21 years ago”, the producers say....

Strapless, strapless, strapless seemed to be the key trend, but I can think of lots elements that made their presence felt as many of us perused the Golden Globes red carpet offerings. I caught up with leading Australian designer Peter Morrissey today and we chewed the fashion fat over the looks that rocked, worn by a major cast list of stars . . .  a calibre...
