The Women of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

Well this show that I watched is now gone.
I guess I was too slow doing the entries huh?

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was a science fiction television series that aired on Fox, but it's canceled now.
So lets do everything in one fell swoop.


First up, Sarah Conner herself, Lena Headey.
Lena got the role by beating over 300 other actresses.
Not physically, you know, in auditions.
It seems everyone's main problem with the TV Sarah Conner was that she wasn't the lean, muscular, ripped fighting machine that Linda Hamilton was in T2.


Next, Summer Glau as Cameron. I don't think anyone really had a problem with the unknown model Terminator.
Summer of course had a big science fiction fan base going in because of her portrayal of "River" in Firefly.


Leven Rambin as Riley Dawson. I don't know about you, but to me Riley had "doomed" stamped on her forehead when she showed up. For some reason I knew things for her would not go well.


Stephanie Jacobsen as Jesse Flores, the beautiful, deadly and possibly psychotic Australian resistance sailor.


Shirley Manson as Catherine Weaver. Yes the liquid metal T-1001 Terminator was also the lead singer of Garbage.
Not on the show mind you, but how cool would that have been?

So with this much beauty on the show, how did it fail?
Yeah I know it had plot holes.
Some of the ones that spring to mind are:
Cameron was a High School Student.
Why didn't she set off the metal detectors in the school?
If you know the Terminators are almost indestructible killing machines, why carry 9mms?
You know, little things like that.
If given time, it might have turned into a really good show.
But Fox doesn't give a lot of time.

Britney Spears and London

Britney Spears kicked off the European leg of her Circus Tour last night in London at the O2 Arena.
This is the first of eight shows she'll be doing there before moving on to Manchester, Dublin and the rest of Europe.
For an indepth review of her opening night, check out this article at NME.com:

And in a situation worthy of a soap opera, it seems Britney's people are trying to keep Brit away from former pal Lindsay Lohan, who has also arrived in London.
Back in Britney's partying days, Britney, Lindsay and Paris Hilton created more than a few headlines.
Britney's people don't want her falling back into that lifestyle, and rumors are that they are trying to keep the two apart.
Makes me feel a bit sad for Lindsay though.
With her looking like shes trying to get her life back together, maybe Britney would be a good influence on her.

And lastly, Britney's former assistant, Alli Sims recently told Access Hollywood that things with Britney weren't as bad as everyone made out, and the media blew a lot of it out of proportion.

Paris Hilton and Dubai

Paris Hilton will be filming the latest installment of her reality TV show " Paris Hilton's My New BFF " in Dubai.
Why Dubai?
Paris says its because she wants to expand her brand into the Arab world.
I think it's because she could feel the money pulling her clear across the world.
But Paris in the Arab world?
I can hear "Jihad" being muttered all the way over here.
Paris has said that both she and the show will respect the region's culture.
Even Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai, gave his blessing to the show.
Somehow I can't see Paris in a burqa though.
For backup, Paris will be taking her boyfriend Doug Reinhardt with her.

"Paris Hilton's My New BFF." has filmed two seasons in Los Angeles for MTV and one in London for ITV2, British television.

Ayumi Hamasaki, Kumi Koda and Ai Otsuka

J Pop idols Ayumi Hamasaki, Kumi Koda and Ai Otsuka all had to cancel concerts last month because of the threat of Swine Flu.
Avex, the industry leading record label and management company decided to err on the side of safety to protect the public.
The concerts were expected to pull in at least an estimated 48,000 fans.
Rescheduled dates for the six shows in the Kansai (Western Japan) region have yet to be announced.

Bollywood Actress Raveena Tandon News

34 year old Raveena Tandon is looking as good as ever, and starting to show up more too.

The Bollywood actress, producer, and former model showed up recently at a Sunday afternoon Tinker Bell book reading for children at Crossword, Juhu, Mumbai on May 17.
By all accounts the beautiful actress had a great time and so did the kids.
Raveena made sure to pay attention to the kids, sitting and talking to them after she finished the reading.

Also, along with Jaya Bachchan, Suniel Shetty, Ayesha Takia and Urvashi Sharma, Raveena is set to star in the new Bollywood movie by Revathy Varma called Chassni.
Chassni is a remake of the Tamil film June R.

At Karan Johar's 37th birthday party, Raveena showed up with just about every other actor and actress in Bollywood including Kareena Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone, Bipasha Basu, John Abraham, Karisma and Shah Rukh Khan among the over 100 guests.

Juhi Chawla News

Bollywood producer, singer, actress and former Miss India 1984, Juhi Chawla, is certainly getting around these days.

She is being profiled on " Superstars Superlives" this week on ZoOM along with other Bollywood beauties Madhuri Dixit, Kajol Devgan and Rani Mukherjee.

Juhi was a judge on the reality dance show Jhalak Dikkhla Jha along with Saroj Khan and Vaibhavi Merchant.

Along with other Bollywood stars Preity Zinta, Shilpa Shetty, Arjun Rampal and Shahrukh Khan she is involved in the IPL (The Indian Premier League, a Twenty20 cricket competition).

And Juhi was in this years Luck By Chance, an Indian drama film written and directed by Zoya Akhtar.
Although critics mainly liked it, it didn't do too well at the box office.

But since 1986, she has been in almost 90 films. So I dont think one performing badly is going to hurt her much.
Besides the almost 90 films, she has produced three films, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani (2000), Asoka (2001) and Chalte Chalte (2003).
