March 22, 2017 No Comments

You may not recognize Travis Fimmel, but this Australian actor and former Calvin Klein underwear model plays Ragnar Lothbrok in “Vikings”, a History Channel series about one of the best-known legendary Norse heroes, who eventually becomes a Scandinavian king. Travis Fimmel may have model good looks and piercing blue eyes, but he brought to light the character of Ragnar. Unfortunately, his character met his demise at the end of season four. But don’t worry, he won’t be far from our TV and movie screens. He was recently cast as Wyatt Earp in a new historical anthology, and is set to star in […]

“You do have to learn how to wear a kilt, and it’s certainly very liberating and very freeing, but surprisingly very comfortable to wear, to ride a horse in a kilt. I was surprised by that.” – Sam Heughan, actor in Outlander I have always been a sucker for accents. British, Irish, Scottish, Australian, French, Italian, or even a good ol’ Southern accent {like my husband}. My cousin, Dallas, got me hooked on the Starz series, Outlander, and this series introduced me to Sam Heughan. He portrays the rugged Highlander, Jamie Fraser. His accent had me hooked! Those eyes and that […]

Tom Cruise was in Knoxville, Tenn., on Monday night, to greet fans at the Regal Pinnacle Theatre for a charity movie premiere of his latest movie, Jack Reacher: Never Go Back. It was my 18th wedding anniversary, so I didn’t attend the premiere, but I sure would have loved to have seen (and even met) the devilishly handsome Tom Cruise! I think every woman fell in love with him, or at least fell in love with his character, Maverick, in Top Gun. Either that, or we fell in love with him after he played the sports agent Jerry Maguire. (“You had […]

You may (or may not) recognize 50-year-old Gianluca Vacchi, of Bologna, Italy. He is not an actor. He is not a singer or a performer. He is friends with Zac Efron and Michelle Rodriguez, even hosting them on his yacht in Sardinia a couple of summers ago when Zac and Michelle had their summer fling.

Man of Style: Tom Hiddleston

July 13, 2016 No Comments

My oldest niece, Kyra, is totally in love with Tom Hiddleston. It broke her heart a little when she found out that he was dating Taylor Swift. Now mind you, she likes Taylor Swift, but as she put it, “No. This cannot be happening. This is too much for me to handle. She had Harry Styles, then Calvin Harris, NOW HIM. I can’t.” Because of Kyra’s undying love for all things “TH”, I have decided to honor Tom Hiddleston as the first “Man of Style” in a new monthly series by the same name. Tom Hiddleston is an English actor. […]
