TV Bender

I know you all are probably waiting in line or already sitting down watching your favorite movie, X-Files, but I’m going to post some red carpet photos of the gang that I believe you’ll enjoy. As you can tell one is pregnant, but she wasn’t pregnant in the movie. (that I know of) But maybe they’ll make her pregnant in the third if they have one. Can you picture it?

It’s Gillian Anderson, David Duchovny and the rest of the team. Why is it David and Gillian aren’t smiling? Do they see something supernatural?

X-Files the Movie will be in theaters today, July 25th. Will you be there? I remember as a child this was the one tv show that would scare the lights out of me. It was too real for me and I really believed in all things that went bump in the night.

In the new X-Files: I Want to Believe is ready to scare you. One tries to escape while others are trying to help. Will they be able to find her in time? Scully is asked to help once again, but she’s reluctant.

Do you Believe?

Will your teens be watching “Gossip Girls” this season? She’s hot and he’s all over her neck, they are sleeping in the same bed together. Heating it up in a pool, she’s got no clothes on. And People wonder why our children of today are growing up sleeping with everyone and dressing so provocative. Watch the promo for Season 2 before you decide. Read the rest of this entry »

Obama, in a way to promote himself for all of America to see decided to purchase $5M to run advertisements during the Beijing Olympic Games. So gear up ladies and gentlemen not only will this be a race to see who wins the races physically but now it just got political.

The weekend never ends there are always tons of shows to watch on a Friday night, IF you must stay home. But with the weather so beautiful something tells me many will be going outside to play. But either way here is a short list of tv movies for Friday night.

Movies:

Garfield the Movie- This 2004 action packed movie sports a cat, his master and his beloved friend, haha, Odie. Garfield, just like the cartoon, is always trying to find a way to get rid of Odie, that is until he gets into some trouble. There is a sequel of this movie but this is not the one that’ll be on tv tonight.

Dr. Doolittle 2-  Dr. Doolittle’s back and once again talking to animals, however this time his family isn’t as forgiving. Now he must help Archie the bear find a mate and save his own marriage at the same time.

Steel Magnolias- This is one of those movies that no matter how many times I’ve seen it I still have to watch it. Julia Roberts plays a woman getting married that has diabetes and is told she should never have children. Her mother gets upset when she hears she does end up pregnant and the two struggle to find a common ground. But it is a great movie about friendships and how a town draws together.

That’s right 451press is back in action, which means TVbender.com is back. Boy have I missed blogging about all my favorite television shows. Thanks for all you that constantly tried to come by but after too many posts got rejected because the site wasn’t working properly I decided I’d wait until all was fixed. Oh it drove me nuts to see all new shows coming up, getting canceled, the awards and everything else.  We have a LOT of catching up to do, so gear up for some TV News, you’ll be in for a treat. Oh we’ll even catch you up on the Daytime Awards as well.

            Senator John McCain and Senator Barack Obama taped on-air salutes to “Army Wives�? and real military families. Both candidates said they were looking forward to the second season of the series. Clearly America agreed with the next President of the United States.

What’s on television tonight? Oh you’ve got plenty, course I’d opt to head for the outdoors and enjoy the sunshine that’s finally happening from coast to coast. But if that isn’t your cup of tea here’s what on tonight.

House- House has woke up with amnesia and there is no telling when he’ll ever get his memory back. Is that a good thing for his patients? Umm, not so sure as it always seemed to be his use of drugs was what kept him thinking outside of the box and able to help save his patients lives. Course now without being hooked on meds will he be the same House? There’s one person that might be able to help, but he’s not so sure he wants to do it. This should be a good one as it is the season finale.

Wow, it was one heck of a week on Days but it’s only suppose to get hotter. Mickey is given the honor of telling Lucas he’s about to become a free man, course will he want to be free when he sees who Sami is now living with full-time? Uh oh, I see sparks flying over this one. But just like always Sami has finally caved into EJ before she hears the good news. My guess is Lucas is about to walk in on something he will wish he stayed in prison to skip.

Steve and Kayla had the baby last week but this week he’s given the shocking news he isn’t allowed near the baby. Uh oh, what happened? Did Kayla get upset over Steve’s past or is something wrong with the child?

Last week we heard Ava’s dad, Martini, that he was declaring war on the whole Brady family. It’s not like this will be a first time for the Brady’s though, I mean when aren’t they feuding or running for their lives. My question is since it is really Steve he wants revenge on for his daughter, will he go after Stephanie? We watched a heated kiss between the handsome doctor and Chelsea only moments after kicking out Nick. Uh oh, trouble in paradise? Come on we all knew it wouldn’t last.

Last week on Days, Chloe left Salem the moment she found out her hubby, Brady, was in fact alive and in rehab. Immediately, okay, after chewing out Victor she hopped on a plane and left.

Chelsea found out she’ll never have kids because of the infection and of course dad, Bo Brady, feels that it is all his fault.

Abe won’t be able to go after Paul since they have no case, but I’m sure this won’t stop the force from watching him. John figures out that Phillip turned Paul in though so I’m sure there will be some revenge there. Still not sure if I like this new John. What do you think?

Uh oh, what could possibly be going on with "Ugly Betty" now? It seems Lindsay Lohan has been invited on the set and it isn’t just to watch, she’s actually going to be in it. As far as her part, the only thing I’ve found out is it’ll be somewhat small and for the season finale and she may be in talks in joining the cast next season. She will play an old schoolmate of Betty’s which I’m guessing was really mean to her. But she’s down on her lucky, will Betty help her out and give her a job?

Late last week some thought America Ferrera was getting married, but it happens one of her "Ugly Betty" boyfriends have actually proposed. Which one?

What’s on television tonight? Well, I’m sure we won’t have a recap of "American Idols’ Big Blunder," but there is plenty of shows to watch that’ll keep you entertained.

A new show called, "Farmer Wants a Wife" comes on tonight and it sounds somewhat interesting. It’s another reality show where you guessed it, a farmer gets to pick his wife. Only catch is he doesn’t seem to be wanting a farm girl, not when his ten hot beauties all happen to be from the city. Granted, I can see how funny this can get. I can’t wait to watch them muck the stalls or feed the pigs, or worse milk a cow. hehe. The first challenge of the night will be them trying to catch a chicken. I normally don’t watch these reality dating shows but I think I’ll watch this one tonight.

9p.m./ET on CW

Last night on American Idol, Paula Abdul made one of those most confusing statements when it came time for her to tell the contestant what she thought. Today, she’s come forward to state it was an honest mistake. Apparently she’d been writing her notes on one card and got confused on which one she was reading. Oops.

Did you watch? What did you think?  Many bloggers have been reporting she thought she was drunk, others thought it was muscle relaxers. Could it have been the change in the program that did this?

It seems the Garry Dourdan, aka Warrick Brown, hasn’t learned much from playing in CSI. He was arrested on Monday for possession of narcotics in Palm Springs. Apparently he was disoriented when an officer approached him, upon searching the area they found: cocaine, Ecstacy, heroin and many other drugs. His bail was set at $5,000 and no news on the date of his hearing.
