If you re in the mood for an epic love story between two besties, Netflix s
Firefly Lane will be right up your,
um, alley come February 3. Starring Katherine Heigl (
Scrubs), and based on the novel by Kristin Hannah, the series tells the story of two teens, initially brought together by loneliness. As the girls grow into women, their bond strengthens and they become truly inseparable best friends for life well, we hope for life. We may need a second season to confirm.
Through decades of cute boys, career challenges, and questionable eye makeup, bold, beautiful but damaged Tully (Heigl) and shy, sweet, and more-than-a-little-bit-awkward Kate (Chalke) navigate 80s shoulder pads, career highs and lows, and common love interests, while Kate struggles to find her way out of the shadow of her boisterous friend and Tully tries to outrun her tumultuous past.
Imagine the scene: You re cooking in the kitchen and need to know how many tablespoons are in a cup. When you turn to ask Alexa, Michael B. Jordan is there waiting, to drop those measurements, making something truly mundane, super sexy.
That s pretty much the premise for Amazon s new Super Bowl commercial that dropped on Tuesday and will air during Sunday s Super Bowl. A woman images that the
Creed actor is the physical exterior for Alexa and, before we know it, she is having him turn on the sprinklers while standing under them of course and dimming the lights by removing his shirt. (Hey, who said big-budget commercials had to be logical?) Jordan even reads a sexy-sounding book from the bathtub. Who wouldn t want this upgrade when most of us can t even get Alexa to respond half the time? Well, maybe the commercial lady s unimpressed husband.
On Monday s crossover episode of
9-1-1: Lone Star, Buck (Oliver Stark), Hen (Aisha Hinds), and Eddie (Ryan Guzman) from L.A. s 118 firehouse arrive in Austin to help Captain Owen Strand (Rob Lowe) and the 126 take on a raging wildfire.
In an exclusive clip from the upcoming event, things are getting out of hand as the wind shifts making the fire spread faster and stretching local resources to the limit. Luckily, that s right when the cavalry arrives, including the 118 firetruck, complete with one drooling Buck. The wildfire isn t the only thing the crew has to cope with in these unfamiliar conditions, apparently, humidity is a challenge even for firefighters. What s up with the air? asks Buck. The way it feels. like being slapped with a wet towel. At least Eddie s a Texas native and can explain the concept to his co-worker.
On Wednesday, the comedian and actor virtually stopped by
Standing Up, Falling Down, and also filled in host Stephen Colbert on his life in quarantine, including a recent trip to the Dodgers Stadium which has recently been turned into a mass vaccination site to receive the first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. I got the injection and a free scarf, Crystal told Colbert. I was glad to get this first step towards hugging my kids and my grandchildren again. And I do have a pre-existing, underlying condition which is terror. So, that was good that I got that.
Besides being vaccinated, the 72-year-old star has been spending his quarantine doing the
It s Ginny and Georgia against the world.
Well, when they re getting along that is. In the first trailer for Netflix s upcoming mother-daughter drama,
Ginny & Georgia, angsty and awkward fifteen-year-old Ginny Miller (Antonia Gentry,
Candy Jar) moves to a new town with her glamorous and dynamic thirty-year-old mother, Georgia Miller (Brianne Howey,
The Passage), ready to put down roots and enjoy a normal life.
Unfortunately, it s not quite that easy. Try as she might, Georgia can t quite fully outrun her checkered past. While Ginny tries to make new friends, meet boys and enjoy a relatively normal teenage life, Georgia keeps dangerous secrets from her kids (Ginny also has a younger brother, Austin) all while earning admirers and enemies in their new picturesque New England town and drinking (understandably) copious amounts of Cabernet.
