In my previous post, "Good News for Huntress Fans", I wrote about the upcoming Huntress series (which I couldn't wait to read). I was under the impression that DC was giving Helena Bertinelli (since that's who they were advertising it as) a 6-part mini series before bringing her back to the Birds of Prey. Well, DC decided to basically switch characters on readers, instead of Bertinelli's Huntress

by Style and Focus Lifestyle PRWhat happened to all the creative minds in Hollywood? Have they run out of ideas? Why not give some of the new writers' ideas a chance before you decide to rehash old TV shows and movies, case in point: Wonder Woman, Charlie's Angel, 21 Jump Street, Hawaii Five-0, Dallas, Footloose, Yogi Bear, Smurfs and most recently The Green Hornet.

Is anyone starting to feel like the media is putting too much focus on Prince William and Kate Middleton's engagement? Why can't William and Kate enjoy their engagement without all the media hounding them? Did NBC really have to have a 1 hr special on the couple already? Yes, he's a Prince but that doesn't mean he has given up his privacy.I can't believe so many women are going out buying

I'm back from my blogging break and I just had to comment about NBC canceling one of my favorite shows.Undercovers was a great show full of drama, comedy and action. It was like a mini movie every Wednesday. The show had great actors and a great plot.
