The WB+UPN= The CW!

Well, due to each having, according to them, low ratings, The Wb and UPN have merged together to form one new network. That network being The CW. The decision was made back on January 25, 2006. After the official announcement of the merge many fans of shows from each network were left wondering, what's going to happen to our favorite shows? Well, the new heads of the new network had the fun job of choosing only some shows from each network to make it on their fall schedule. For months we didn't know which of our favorite shows were going to get the axe.The official announcement of the selected shows for the new network were not going to be announced until May 18, 2006.

So as we watched our shows end their seasons, we didn't know whether it was a season finale or series finale. For some shows we already knew it was the end such as Related, Twins, Modern Men, Cuts, Half & Half, and the already planned series finales Charmed and 7th Heaven. All the other shows were up in the air. Fans started petitions, conducted polls, and even protested in behalf of their fave shows. But no group did as much as the fans for my beloved show One Tree Hill, which was in real danger of being canceled. Fans of the show really wanted it to come back for a fourth season since we were left with such a dramatic cliffhanger and we'd be damned if that's how the show would end.

Then finally May 18 came around and the fall lineup was announced. Making the move from Upn to The CW was Everbody Hates Chris, All Of Us, Girlfriends, America's Next Top Model, Veronica Mars, and Friday Night Smackdown. Making the move from The WB to The CW was One Tree Hill, Gilmore Girls, Supernatural, Smallville, and in an amazing shock they decided to bring back 7th Heaven. Two new fresh shows that would be added to the network are Runaway and The Game. I was majorly happy because my show OTH would be back but I was disappointed that they chose to bring back 7th Heaven for an 11th season instead of Everwood, which was an awesome show. Personally I think 7th Heaven has run it's course. They keep repeating the same storylines and I don't see them doing much else. I was also disappointed to see that they didn't bring back Reba. And I'm not going to even get started on the fact that they got rid of Related. I'm really unhappy with that. Anyway those are the shows that was chosen. Below is the fall schedule listing the days and times.
The CW Fall Schedule:

I at first dreaded the merger, but now that I know that my favorite show will be coming back for another season I'm acyually excited about it. And I can only hope that this network will have much better luck. Although I still think that The Wb wasn't doing so bad since they had some of the highest rated shows. UPN being in the slump I did believe though.

Peace, Love, and Hugs.

The Veronicas Are Rockin'!!

Well, I wanna talk about one of my favorite albums this year. The Secret Life Of... was released by The Veronicas on February 14, 2006. The Veronicas is made up of twin sisters Jess and Lisa. They are from Australia. They made their mark on the charts with their first single "4ever". The album has a great collection of songs that you could really get into. These girls are definitely talented and provide songs you can really relate to.

My #1 favorite song on the album is "Heavily Broken". It's a heart wrenching song about of being lost in despair and no one helping you. I can say that I feel that way a lot of the time. The second fave is "Everything I'm Not". It's mostly about a guy expecting something more than you are. It's about finally telling that person that you're tired of pretending to be something you're not and that you're done. Another fave is "Leave Me Alone". The title pretty much says it all. And it's sung with attitude which I really like.

They are plenty of other good songs like: "Mouth Shut", "Nobody Wins", "Speechless", and "When It All Falls Apart", which is currently their new single. In my opinion the girls put together a really good album. And the girls are having a great year. They have toured with Ryan Cabrera, who Lisa is now dating, and they are joining Ashlee Simpson for a summer tour. They won two awards at the Australian Video Music Awards. They were also the ones who sang the theme song for the short-lived WB show Related. They are also the new faces for Keds fall campaign. I can see that they will continue to have a very successful year.

Happy Belated Birthday To Sophia Bush & Hilarie Burton!

Okay, I know it's been a long time since I updated this journal. I've just been too preoccupied with other things. I still have a lot of episodes from the rest of One Tree Hill's season. So I have to get on that. Anyway, until then I would like to say Happy birthday to Sophia Bush who turned 24 on July 8th and Hilarie Burton who turned 24 on July 1st.

Sophia, who plays Brooke Davis on One Tree Hill, is an exceptional actress. She is recently starting to become a big name in Hollywood, having starred in movies like Supercross, Stay Alive, and most recently John Tucker Must Die. She is currently filming another movie The Hitcher. Sophia is a classy and intelligent woman. She was married to her OTH co-star Chad Micheal Murray, but that marriage ended after 5 months, amid rumors of his infidelities. And even though she had to end a marriage because of horrible reasons she has been able to come out on top and be stronger than ever. She is a beautiful and down-to-earth person, with incredible class. She is definitely a great role model. And I look forward to seeing her gain even more success. Although I can see that she is well on her way.

Hilarie, although had studied acting and was pursuing it, didn't catch a big break until One Tree Hill came along, playing Peyton Sawyer. Before then she was An MTV VJ for TRL. She had a guest starring role as herself on Dawson's Creek with co-star Chad Micheal Murray. She then got her big break with OTH. Since the show she has starred in another movie titled On Our Very Own. She is married to a crew member from OTH and happily lives in her lovely and haunted home in Wilmington. She looks through scripts and other work but until then she is enjoying working on One Tree Hill.

All in all these are to young women who are talented and charasmatic. They appear to be truly genuine and kind women with hearts of gold and entertain us week after week on a great show. So again I would like to wish them a belated Happy Birthday and I wish them much success both personally and professionally.

One Tree Hill Episode 3.12 Review!

3.12 I've Got Dreams To Remember

College. It's on the horizon for our Tree Hill alums. So, naturally it's time to talk about the future. This is going to be a long one. Wanted to address certain couples then tackle individuals.

Nathan/Haley: When these two last left off they had just had an argument over birth control and their one night when Haley was not on it. It was a real eye opener to the fact that they have a lot that they had yet to discuss regarding their marriage and future. One of those topics being college. We find out that Haley has always wanted to go to Stanford while Nathan's plans are Duke. Colleges that are across the country from each other. Not an easy challenge to get over. Understanding their motivations for wanting to go to these schools is understandable. For both of them it was where they planned to go since they were younger. The big question now for both of them is now that there is someone they love in their life, is sticking to their plans worth it? And we see in the end that they begin to consider other options with each other dreams in mind. There so much for them to talk about and this is the is the first stepping stone to really address their futures and each other.

Lucas/Brooke: There really wasn't much conflict about these two and their future. Obviously being a couple it's on their minds.

One Tree Hill Episode 3.11 Review!

3.11 Return Of The Future

New gyms, babies, fashion shows, Nada Surf, and Keith's return. Not to mention the unexpected ending. It was an eppy not to miss.

Nathan/Haley: Good ol' happy Naley is what we were treated to in the beginning of this episode. Not to mention Haley being one to initiate the scrunchy system and hinting at sex with Nathan to 'console' him. I liked this side of Haley. And th way she invited Nathan was just great to watch. She just seemed so happy to be able to act lovey with him. But of course because of Dan Nathan was having some doubts about his last night with Haley. And after finding out Haley wasn't on birth control that night really took him over the edge leading them into a huge fight. Which I have to say I really liked wacthing because it didn't seemed forced and it was really believable. Sometimes on television when you watch a show the actors seem kind of uncomfortable during the argument, but James and Joy really sold it. In the end they apologized to each other. It seemed to have shown them that there are a lot of things that they hadn't considered about marriage such as the possibility of children. At least this can be a jump off to actually discussing things.

Dan/Nathan: What a father Dan Scott is? Purposely planting doubts in his son's head in hopes to get rid of Haley. Dan sinks to a new low telling Nathan that Haley might get herself pregnant in order to trap Nathan. And it's all so he can control Nathan. What's even worse is that he can easily achiev to have Nathan doubt everything. Thank goodness that in the end Nathan knows better than to listen to his father. Dan needs to learn better ways of parenting. He claims to do it for his son's best interest but he's only hurting him more. But I guess he wouldn't be Dan Scott if he wasn't a controlling, lying, calculating, manipulative bastard.

Brooke/Lucas: No major drama for these two in this episode. Thank goodness. It was actually more comedic, due to Lucas teasing Brooke about her letters that she wrote to him over the summer by quoting them to her. After hearing him quote them Brooke was determined to get her letters back. She manages to get them back during a romantic night she planned for them to thank him for getting her into Rogue Vogue a fashion show for new designers, which is ruined by Naley's fight. She then later finds out that Luke didn't get her in. It was just so sweet to see these two together and Brooke admitting how hard it is for her to be vulnerable with him. I also really like that they are not jumping into having sex. They are actually taking their time this time around and getting to know each other better. That was their mistake the first time and it's good to see that they are not repeating it.

Lucas/Nathan: Conflict is still brewing between these two brothers. And I'm sorry to admit this, but it is kinda hot to these two brothers fighting. Their conflict is brought on this time due to a loss of a game. Natahn refuses to help out in the gym and of course Luke disagrees with his attitude. Then after his fight with Haley, Nathan is visited by Lucas with sage advice. He first shares his experience of the pregnancy scare he had with Brooke then he tells Nate that he should put the team before himself. In the end Nate takes the sadvice and it seems like the brothers are civil to each other again.

Peyton/Ellie: This mother and daughter duo are actually trying to bond. Although Peyton mentioned that it is wierd for her to have someone waitng for her at home. But it's a new experience that she's gotta get used to. They are working hard together to get bands for the benefit album Peyton came up with ansd the first Band on the list is Nada Surf. Using a few tricks from Ellie, Peyton manages to get the band to commit. During this whole mission Peyton learns a little more about Ellie and I guess it made her realize that she realize that she really wants to get to know her and doesn't want to lose her to cancer. It's really great to see Peyton get to attempt a relationship with her reall mother.

Whitey/Team: Everytime they show Whitey being tough with the team I just love it! He always has some awesome one liners and he did not disappoint in this one. After the team loses their second game of the season Whitey doesn't think they are worthy of playing in the gym that carries his name, so he mones them to a more run down gym that as a punishment the team must clean up themselves. Suffice it to say the team is not happy. Especially Nathan, who refuses to help until he gets some good advice from Lucas. It may seem cruel, but I can see that Whitey wants theteam to work together on and off the court. And making them work together to fix the old gym so they can play in it is a good start.

Keith/Everyone: After waiting all through the second half of season 2 and the first half of season 3 Keith finally returns! He surprises Lucas after the game and the two talk about what's been going on in their lives and it's nice because the banter between the two is just so natural that it doesn't seem like Keith's been gone at all. They do discuss the fact that they both know that Deb was the one to set the dealership on fire. It was good to see Luke have his uncle back. Oh the confrontation with Dan. Keith came to tell Dan he was back and Dan just presented him with a tape of him buying the same liquor that was used to drug him. For someone who claims to be a smart man, Dan is really stupid. He should know that plenty of people drink that brand and just because he sees him buying it doesn't mean he used it to drug him.Dan is just so ridiculous. It was nice to see Keith defend Lucas too though and the fact that he ddn't let Dan get to him.  Then we saw him go to see Karen. And it was so nice to see her so happy to see him. The flirting between the two was just so refreshing because you saw that Karen really was interested in him. And the ending kiss was so fantastic because finally Keith got something he had been waiting years for. Then Dan had to ruin it by having Keith arrested in the middle of the kiss. He is such an ass.

Special Mentions: I just have to say how happy I am that Peyton asked Haley to be on the album. Well, she should considering that was the song she used to give Ellie to listen to when she asked for help to start the album. The next was Rachel entering Brooke in Rogue Vogue. Now, I haven't really been bothered by Rachel in the past few episodes, but she looked too sketchy when Brooke walked away after thanking her and she responded with a "No, thank you." It was just too suspicious.

Until next time. Peace, Love, and Hugs!

Guys That I Drool Over!

Let's face the facts this world is filled with many sexy men. It's only natural that as a woman we appreciate and fantasize about them. For me ther are many who fill my dreams with much happiness, but there are six who deserve special mention.

Justin Timberlake: This is my dream man. My "husband" as I like to call him. I have a fake little marriage liscense I got when I was about 14 or 15 claiming we were wed. It was a cute little fantasy of mine. I've had a crush on him since he first came out with 'NSYNC. And I've seen him grow into the man he is today. Those beautiful hands, crystal blue eyes, angelic voice, and body like a Greek God,  are just enough for my impure thoughts of him. He is just too gorgeous for his own good. Cameron Diaz is one lucky ass woman. She better keep making him happy or I will have to kick her ass. Just kidding. But despite that I will always call him my "husband". Hey, a girl can dream.

James Lafferty: Nathan of One Tree Hill. I was introduced to this actor, unfortunately I don't mean in person, during the middle of the second season of the show. Like Justin he has an incredible body, gorgeous hands, and the most beautifully hypnotizing blue eyes you'd ever see. But he also has one of the sexiest deep voices you'd ever hear. And he is definitly hot when he plays basketball. The man embodies sexiness. Too bad I don't see myself meeting him. I'm never that lucky. I think that if I couldn't have Justing, James would be my #2 guy. Unfortunately he does have a girlfriend. She is a lucky girl and I hope she makes him very happy.

Bryan Greenberg: Another One Tree Hill alum playing Jake Jagielski, Bryan one of the sweetest guys on TV. I first got to watching Bryan in the big screen Film The Perfect Score written by One Tree Hill creator Mark Schwann. Since then he has been a key male on my radar. One other thing that makes him attractive is that not only is he a talented actor but also a talented musician. He just seems to be such sweet guy and it also helps that he is very goodlooking. Whatever girl that snags him is sure to be very lucky.

Chad Micheal Murray: Also from One Tree Hill playing Lucas, Chad is another who you can't help but drool over. I've seen him in many movies and other shows and seenhismany looks, but I think his short hair displayed in the 2nd season of OTH is his sexiest. And when he let's his beard grow he has this rugged look that makes you just hot. He also has a great sense of humor that just drives me crazy.

Paul Walker: His eyes are by far the first thing that drew me in. That and then his body. There is also something about his shy looking demeanor that makes me swoon. He just looks to be such an incredible guy that you can't help but wonder how he'd be as a boyfriend. And I'm guessing he'd be great.

Jesse Metcalfe: My favorite gardner from Desperate Housewives. His appeal to me is his boy-next-door look with that hint of mischief. He's also Latin and as a Latina I appreciate latin men. He seems to be a sweet guy who would really know how to take care of his girl. And despite all those bad tabloids about him he is still a nice pice of man candy to look at.

Well those are my top six fantasy guys I drool over. Believe me when I say there are plenty more but then this post would be endless. So enjoy looking at my fantasy guys and hey they might be yours too. LOL!

One Tree Hill Episode 3.10 Review!

3.10 Brave New World

After a month long hiatus we are finally treated to a fresh episode. I've been looking for to the Naley morning after all month. It was kinda good and we got to meet a new character. Now let's go on to the review.

Nathan/Haley: Can I get a What, What!! LOL! Yay! A Naley morning after! We get proof that they indeed do more then just sleep. And I've never been happier to see that. Although I was a little scared when we first saw the camera pan on Nathan because he looked like he regreted it. Which is something I really didn't want.What I didn't like was that once again Deb calls her son away and Naley don't even talk to each other. Nathan dresses and leaves to see his mother before Haley even wakes up.Dan unfortunately got the pleasure of waking her up and just creeping her out. Which I would to if my father-in-law walked in while I was still in bed naked and then him grabbing my bra looking at it. That was way to creepy. And his comment about Peyton being pleasant in the morning was just wrong. And to top it off he takes the note Nathan left for her, making her think that Nate just left her. It didn't look to good since Nathan wouldn't answer her calls, but we weren't left disappointed because in the end Nathan sows up at her doorstep and they end another night together. I can see that many good things will come for Naley and I can't wait!

Brooke/Lucas: Thank goodness that this non-exclusive relationship is over and they are now a full fledged couple. Like Nathan, Lucas is called away except Lucas actually tells Brooke goodbye. When Lucas tells Brooke it's Peyton she is a little concerned. Which is completely understandable. She is made to worry even more when she finds out they are heading out of town. And considering what happened last time they had went on a road trip, Brooke has every reason to worry. Although she doesn't say it to him because they are trying to trust eachother. Doesn't stop Brooke from spending the day worrying although not as much as her other problem. But in the end Lucas surprises her and completely shares his world with her making it special. I only wonder how long this lasts.

Lucas/Faith: We meet an old friend of Lucas' during his roadtrip with Peyton. We get to meet Faith who Luke apparently savedfrom being tormente dduring their freshman year of high school. She is highly intelligent like Lucas and a talented ball player and her mother happens to be a b-ball coach. She gives Lucas hell about now being part of the popular crowd and dating Brooke who she believed was Morgan Finley's, a super bicth cheerleader, most promising protege. Then in the end just reminds him not to change who he is. It was nice getting a little peak into Lucas' past. Although I would have liked if they had mentioned Haley since she was his best friend at that time and I'd think she hung out with them too.

Peyton/Ellie: This was the more emotional part of the ep. Peyton overcomes her feelings of guilt and hesitation and with the company of Lucas she goeas to see Ellie. At first she goes with the pretense of needing advice on how she wants to put out a record using Haley's song and they begin to bond. They discuss music and just seem to have a natural connection. I t was really great to watch because Peyton sincerely wants to form some kind of relationship with Ellie but doesn't really know how to go about it. It's hard for her to bring up the cancer but she does and when she sees Ellie's bare kitchen she assumes Ellie's there to die which brings about such an emotional scene that made me choke up. After having told Peyton she was fine, we later find out she stopped treatments, which is kind of scary. But in the end it's happy when she shows up on Peyton's doorstep. I really want to see them bond since Peyton hasn't had a mom for more than 7 years and just needs a relationship like that.

Nathan/Deb: Poor Nathan. Deb asks him to meet her just so she can confess that she was the one who tried to kill his father. Naturally Nathan is very upset. I mean wouldn't you be to if you found out your mom actually attempted to kill your dad. It's amzing to hear a woman explain how she was so scared to leave him but had no problem trying to kill him. I think Nathan said it best when he told her, "You didn't have the courage to leave him, but you had the courage to kill him?", it just summerized my thoughts. She went on to explain horrible things Dan had done and Nate realized that his mom was never happy. What was worse was when she told him she wasn't going back to Tree Hill. It was just so sad because his mom was abandoning him. I know she's scared but to leave her son in Dan's clutches is just wrong. It was a tearful goodbye.I can only hope that Deb does come back sooner or later.

Brooke/Clothing Line: Boy was Brooke way in over her head. She finally got her website up and running, which was a rapid surprise to me considering she had just come up with the clothing line Clothe Over Bro's the night before, but anyway she starts getting more orders than she can handle since she is only one person making the clothes and she gets more then 40 orders. She recruits Haley, Mouth and the rest of the Ravens cheer squad to help and rapidly becomes a bitchy dictator. She even recruits kids. In the end Haley sets her straigh and Brooke realizes it's her problem and no one elses. Brooke needs to pace herself because she just started and already she is digging herself in a whole. It was funny that as compensation to the kids she gives Haley's cds away. I love Brooke's clothes and I can only hope that it will be a succes for her.

Special Mentions: Interesting to see Mouth and Rachel get close. It was funny when Brooke came over and Rachel said," We were just talking about Mouth's thing.", giving a wrong impression on what thing they were discussing, which was catch phrases of sports announcers. We'll see if their is a love story there or if Rachel is just using him. It was also nice seeing Bevin again along with her brother and sister and two cousins. I always like seeing her. Hope to see more of her in future eps.

Until next time. Peace, Loves, and Hugs.

Congratulating Bethany Joy Lenz On Her Marriage And Upcoming CD!

It has been made official that Bethany Joy has married her boyfriend Micheal Galeotti of the band Enation. It is rumored that they married on New Year's Day in her home state Washington. And due to that she has dropped her last name Lenz for her new husband's surname Galeotti as a way to honor her new husband. It was made official in the opening credits of January 11's episode of One Tree Hill where we saw the name change from Bethany Joy Lenz to Bethany Joy Galeotti. For many weeks Bethany has warned that it would happen soon in 2006, but no one really expected it to be so soon.

New name in the opening credits:

Even though I wish her and her new husband all the best and wish them much happiness I will continue to refer to her as Bethany Joy Lenz because to me it just flows better. I mean no direspect it's just my personal preference.

I also want to take the opportunity to say how excited I am for her new cd to come out. So far I've listened to three tracks from the album and I really liked them. She just has such a beautiful voice. I really can't wait to get it. Until then I will just enjoy the 20 or so songs that I do have from her. And her new song Halo from the upcoming One Tree Hill Soundtrack Vol. 2 is awesome. Although on the soundtrack she is billed as Haley James Scott the character she plays on the show since the soundtrack coincides with a storyline and Haley records the song on the show. I just love the song! Honestly I love any music she puts out because she is so talented. I wish her all the best and much success And I'm looking for to any of her future projects.

One Tree Hill Episode 3.09 Review!

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

The Dukes Of Hazzard Movie

Well, howdy doody it's the Dukes! Now I've heard of the old TV show and I've caught about one or two of the old episodes, so as soon as I heard there was going to be a movie I knew I had to check it out. Another draw in was of course the hottie Seann William Scott who I've had a little crush on since American Pie. I guess it's because he so ridiculously funny that really gets me. I also wanted to see Jessica Simpson's movie debut since I'm such a fan of hers musically.


Overall, I did like the movie. It does have a lot of car chasing and stunts which is pretty interesting. It also had plenty of comedic moments. Some of the situations these boys put themselves in are just funny. And since I did get the unrated DVD most of the stuff was just very raunchy. Seann and Johnny did a hilarious job portraying these two cousins. And they do the comedy so well. And I do love watching me some Seann William Scott. I also have to say that for it being her first major movie role Jessica did do a good job. It was really enjoyable to watch.

Despite the main similarities to the TV series the movie does maintain some differences. Such as more cuss words and many sexual innuendos are thrown in the movie. Not to mention all the nude scenes in the unrated version. Despite that for me it was fun to watch. I enjoyed it and had some good laughs. So if you feel like enjoying some mindless comedy check it out:
