Prison Break - Mondays Fox Fall

From MSN 2008 Fall TV Preview Guide (I LOVE Fall programming, especially on FOX, b/c Summer programming SUCKS to hell - sorry, but it does LOL)

*FUGITIVE BROTHERS STILL SEEKING JUSTICE
*MICHAEL & LINCOLN ARE BACK FOR SEASON 4


The great escape continues as "Prison Break" enters its fourth season where two brothers remain determined to bring down the government conspiracy responsible for framing them both for crimes they did not commit.

After engineering a daring escape from the hellish, Panamanian prison Sona, brothers Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) and Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) are determined to seek justice against The Company, the shadowy group responsible for destroying their lives and killing the woman Michael loves, Dr. Sara Tancredi (Sarah Wayne Callies).

Michael's quest for vengeance leads him to Los Angeles, where his world is turned upside down when Company operative Gretchen/Susan B. Anthony (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe) informs him that Sara is still alive. Michael and Lincoln avow to find Sara and take down The Company by stealing their "Black Book." With the help of Homeland Security agent Don Self (Michael Rapaport), they assemble a group of allies and familiar faces to accomplish their task: Mahone (William Fichtner), Sucre (Amaury Nolasco), Bellick (Wade Williams) and computer expert Roland Glenn (James Hiroyuki Liao).

Unfortunately for the brothers, they must also evade company assassin Wyatt (Cress Williams) and find an on-the-loose T-Bag (Robert Knepper), who unknowingly possesses a vital clue to help them pull off their most difficult challenge yet.

Prison Break airs Mondays at 8pm CST on FOX - 2 hour premiere Labor Day Sept. 1 @ 7pm CST

Sneak Peak of Prison Break Premiere Night

By the end of Monday night, Michael and Lincoln are back in the United States, working for a government agent who is secretly investigating the Company. “Bellick and Sucre and Mahone join their team, all of them slaving like the Dirty Dozen in hopes of having their prison sentences eliminated. T-Bag is still South of Border, trying to make his way home with a suitcase full of money. At least two characters take bullets.” Oh, and of course Sara is back!!

And that’s just in the first hour!! The second hour is more straightforward with the crew working to track down a computer memory card code-named Scylla that contains all The Company’s secrets. Oh, and T-Bag does something “so vile, so gruesome, that you can’t help but giggle.”

Don’t worry - it’s not ALL action. Supposedly there’s a couple of hilarious Bellick moments on Monday night. One of which “is the perfect delivery of a very short line, ‘We’re screwed,'"

FOX Fall Season Preview Clip - Michael "gets some" LOL

*Updated with shorter, straight to the point clip w/out the unrelated to PB stuff*

This is a great clip from the All Star Party at the Pier last month. Wentworth mentions to Spike Feresten that his character "finally gets some after 60 episodes" since Dr. Sara has returned from the dead - MWAAAAAAAAAAH (that's my evil mad scientist laugh - did you get that LOL)! Anyhoo, Wentworth seems really playful & loose; it's quite refreshing to see! Oh, yeah, there's a MiSa spoiler in there so DO NOT watch if you wanna' wait until the show to see the reunion - trust me... this spoiler is a HUGE tease LOL! Enjoy the clip!

Hot Man of the Week 8/24

Our hot man this week is a long time crush of mine! He is arguably the greatest basketball player on the court today & since Michael Jordan. He was the youngest player to ever score 10,000 & the youngest to score 20,000 points when he hit the 20th of 39 points in a Laker win (95-90) over the New York Knicks. He scored 81 points as the Lakers beat Toronto Raptors 122-104 (second highest points in a single NBA game in the history of the league). This amazing guy hit 12 three-pointers in a single game (most three-pointers ever made). At the time he entered the league in 1996, he was the youngest player ever drafted [Lower Merion High School]. He's made 10 All-Star appearances, made the All-NBA 1st team 6 times, is the current league MVP & two-time All Star MVP, has 3 NBA championship titles (won consecutively) and is now representing our country in the Olympics! By now you should know who I'm talking about, but if you don't, he is the one & ONLY Kobe Bryant!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KOBE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This week I'd like to introduce you to a special place. Yeah, that's right, my little "lingo" lesson actually refers to my happy place! It's called...

"Wenter Wonderland"

Wenter Wonderland is a great place to chill & relax.

I'm usually there with a Grande sized vanilla bean or mocha frappuccino and a good DVD - probably Prison Break (as if you didn't know that). I might even be there with my laptop containing some Went related material! I don't read a lot but Wenter Wonderland is wentastic place to read whenever I'm in the mood!

Although, this is my special, happy place that is exclusively for me & the love of my life, I'm willing to share this wenterrific place!

There are stipulations & I am only willing to share if these strict conditions are met:

1. Went will NEVER be there if I'm not!
2. If Went shows up while you're there, you HAVE TO LEAVE - do NOT make eye contact or utter a sound!
3. If I show up, you can stay until Went shows up!
4. You can NOT be there on any given Monday from August to May between 7pm & 10pm CST!
5. Last but not least, what goes on in Wenter Wonderland, stays in Wenter Wonderland!

Any voilation of the above conditions will result in something extremely illegal happening to you! Have fun!!!!!!!!!!

Cinema icon Al Pacino joins a powerhouse cast headed by of George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac, and series newcomer Ellen Barkin for this, the third installment of director Steven Soderbergh's popular series of glitzy crime comedies. The only hotelier in Las Vegas who can claim that each and every one of his establishments has earned the Royal Review Board's Five Diamond Award, Willy Bank (Pacino) has made more than his share of enemies during his impressive ascent. While most of Bank's adversaries amount to little more than the occasional nuisance, however, this powerful player is about to find out that picking your enemies in Las Vegas can be a true gamble. In betraying Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould), Bank has finally crossed the one man who could bring his entire empire crumbling to the ground -- Danny Ocean (Clooney). Now Reuben is in critical condition, and Ocean is determined to strike back at the man who nearly murdered his mentor. Bank may have taken down one of the original Ocean's Eleven, but his efforts only managed to unite the remaining ten closer than ever before. As the opening of Bank's newest casino draws near, Danny and the crew set into motion a bold plan to humiliate the cocksure casino owner and forever tarnish his spotless reputation. It won't be easy, but if Ocean and his team can get their elaborate plan together in time for the opening of The Bank, they just might be able to deliver some serious Las Vegas justice.

Winter is just around the corner and lets face it, sometimes people don't really work out during the winter. We'd rather be inside our cozy home sipping on some hot coffee, chocolate, or Glühwein!! So this week, SoLo and SoHo bring you some tips to keep you staying active, even during cold weather.

Winter Exercise Tips

Just because it is cold outside doesn't make it open season for an excuse not to exercise. There are multiple exercise options one can choose to participate in regardless of what the outdoor thermometer reads. Depending on your location and likes, you can choose to workout inside or outside.

All that is required for Winter-time workouts is some planning and employing all safety precautions. If you prefer to workout outside, keep the following tips in mind.

SoLo's Cre-Jun Gumbo

A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned gumbo & promised a recipe soon! Well, soon is today LOL! Gumbo is one of those traditional South Louisiana recipes that you just can't get anywhere else! I know you can find recipes all over the place but if it doesn't come from someone whose lived here all their life, it ain't right (sorry to the rest of Louisiana, the other49 states & beyond)! Also, if anyone tries to give you a recipe with tomato sauce in it, PLEASE RUN AWAY AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN!! And gumbo is NOT just for cold weather, either! No ma'am (or sir)! I've cooked it twice this summer & my mom is trying to get me cook some for her birthday on September 3!

Now before we get to the recipe, I need to give you a little history lesson (far from boring, I promise)! There are two different types of gumbo: Cajun (chicken & sausage) and Creole (seafood). Cajun people are the folks who live in what we call "Acadiana" (not necessarily just that parish). Lafayette, LA is considered to be the largest Cajun city! Creole people are primarily in & around New Orleans, LA. In the Creole part of the state, seafood was virtully unlimited because of their access to the Spillway! On the other hand, in Cajun-land, their primary resource was things like chicken & sausage, thus the difference in the gumbo ingredients! Cool right? Yeah I know! BUT what's even cooler is yours truly has adopted both methods of cooking a delicious dish by combining them! The end result - "Cre-Jun" - is magnifico!!!!!!!

Anyway, on to the recipe. I'm not gonna say mine is the best in the world, but until I eat some that is better, I'll claim the crown LOL! You gotta' understand: I am VERY picky about food & before I learned how to cook this dish, I would not eat it because it can very easily be cooked the wrong way! "What's the wrong way", you ask? I have no idea because mine always comes out perfect LOL (modest devil, aren't I)!! So if you follow this recipe to the letter, I promise you will NOT go wrong! Enjoy my favorite South Louisiana dish!

More spoilers

Here are a few more spoilers from "The Man" himself. Enjoy!! (highlight below to view spoilers)

The Man and SecretAgentMan have spilled some more spoilers regarding Michael and the Season 4 story line.

Michael:

  • We will learn about Michael’s special abilities at the same time that we learn more about his mother.
  • In Episode 4.10 Michael gets some devastating news about his health.

Season 4:
There are several different story lines to Season 4. It’s unclear how they will all be resolved. The Man says that “some will be resolved along the way and others will be solved at the end…and of course if there ends up being another season…there would have to be questions that still need answering….so ultimately it kind of depends on how the season goes.”

Michael... Still Married??

This was an interesting and excellent question that was asked to Prion Break writer, Nick Santora about Michael trying to get together with Sara. But, wait... wasn't he still married to the beautiful Nikka? Did they ever get a divorce? So technically, wouldn't Michael be cheating on Nikka if he DOES end up with Sara without divorcing her first? Anyway, check out this tidbit and see Nick Santora's answer.


“I have been pondering Michael and Sara’s relationship for a long time and could never find the answer until I wrote to Nick Santora on myspace…. I asked him if Michael and his wife ever got their marriage annulled or gone through a divorce or were they still married?????”

Nick’s answer?
“hi, so glad you are excited — yup, he’s still legally married!”

So there you have it folks... Michael WILL be cheating on Nikka - the little devil LOL! I guess that's another one of those things about the show you gotta love (or hate, depending on how you look at it)!
