Rosie Perez Coming to Lipstick Jungle

Wednesday July 23, 2008
Over the last few years we've seen movie stars trading in the big screen for all the wonderful things the small screen has to offer, but the upcoming fall season has more movie stars than ever! The latest movie star heading to a living room near you this fall is Oscar and Emmy nominee Rosie Perez, who will appear on NBC's Lipstick Jungle.

Along with Mary Tyler Moore, Perez will appear in a multi-episode arc on Lipstick Jungle, beginning with the season two premiere on September 24. According to NBC, Perez will play the role of Dahlia, Victory's publicist, who brings a successful attitude to Ford's life.

Perez is best known for her roles in the hit movies Fearless, White Men Can't Jump, Riding in Cars with Boys and It Could Happen to You.

Interview with Francia Raisa (Adrian, The Secret Life of the American Teenager)

Monday July 21, 2008
When a studio decides to create a sequel to a popular movie, the end result isn't always favorable. Being a new actress in her first film role is difficult in itself, but imagine taking that role in a sequel to the highly successful movie Bring it On.

Francia Raisa wasn't afraid to take on that challenge. In fact, this lovely young actress then went on to star in yet another sequel to the '90s cult classic The Cutting Edge. Luck was on her side when both sequels met with good reviews and impressive ratings.

Francia's latest role in the ABC Family series The Secret Life of the American Teenager has also experienced an incredible amount of success. The series scored a second season renewal after only a few weeks on the air.

The CW Annouces Fall Premiere Dates

Sunday July 20, 2008
Believe it or not, the fall television season is only six weeks away - where has the summer gone? In the last few years, Fox has been the first of the five networks to launch their fall season. This year the CW will go head-to-head with those Prison Break boys on September 1 with Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill.

Easily one of the most anticipated new series this season is the remake of 90210. Now that Shannen Doherty has officially signed on to return to her roll as Brenda Walsh, things in Beverly Hills should get v-e-r-y interesting! In addition to Doherty's return, Jennie Garth, Tori Spelling, and Joe E. Tata are coming back to their old zip code. 90210 makes its premiere on September 2, but will it live up to all the hype? I'm still holding out hope that Brandon Walsh, Dylan McKay and Steve Sanders return to the zip code at some point during the series.
