10 TV Characters Who Need a Spin-off Series

Check out this article over on tvsquad.com on 10 TV Characters Who Need a Spin-off Series! As a fan of True Blood, Weeds and Entourage (no I am not a pay for TV cable snob I just like showtime and HBO) I agree that these characters would make some fine spin-offs. Lafayette is one of those characters who is so much more developed on the show than I think he ever was in the books and as a result he is pretty freaking awesome. I was devastated at the season one cliffhanger when I thought he might be dead. But I hear Alan Ball loves Lafayette as much as the fans do, so he may be safe for now.

And what about Andy from Weeds! Hello. He is my favorite character on the show by far. I agree that the show is getting a little old. Can I technically say that If I watched all five seasons in the last two weeks? The earlier stuff was much better and really, how much more trouble can Nancy get into? Mexican Drug Lord Politician is pretty freaking big.

Check out the article and let me know your thoughts. Who do you want to see get a spin-off show?

Eclipse Soundtrack Coming Soon!

A few lucky Twilight fans had the opportunity to listen to the The Twilight Saga: Eclipse Soundtrack and there have been pretty good reviews. There are two versions available. The standard album has 15 tracks but the deluxe version has a whopping 19 songs. I have to admit, I was not a fan of the New Moon Soundtrack. I purchased a few individual tracks, but wasn't impressed enough to buy the entire CD. Ah, the beauty of the digital music revolution. I do own the Twilight soundtrack and I absolutely love it.  And I am psyched about what I am hearing for the Soundtrack for the latest movie.

Here is a sneak peak, the Muse, Love is Forever video.


If you liked that you can check out more samples online soon. The albums release date is June 8th.  Check it out.

Giving Back i.am home fund

For those of you who know me personally, you know that I am a compassionate and giving person. My entire working career has been focused on helping those in need. I believe in helping those less fortunate than myself and know that making a difference in someone else's life is a priceless experience. 

So when I saw this, I had to share, because I know so many people that are struggling and I love when a celebrity is willing to share their blessings with others not because it is the cool thing to do but because it is the right thing to do. Please share this with someone in your life and remember to pay it forward. Their is joy in giving!
