My friend Wendy Phillips, who has died aged 81, was a school cleaner, a miner’s wife and an actor from Pontycymer, South Wales, where she lived all her adult life.
She was born a mile away, in the village of Blaengarw, the daughter of Llew Morgans, a coalminer, and his wife, Salina. Wendy attended Blaengarw girls’ school and took her first job at Goldblatts the chemist in Pontycymer.

Wilson Phillips (Wendy Phillips, Carnie Wilson & Chynna Phillips) are back in the spotlight
Believe it or not, it's been 22 years since the Wilson Phillips hit song "Hold On" topped the charts and brought the offspring of members of The Mamas and the Papas and The Beach Boys - Chynna Phillips, Wendy Phillips and Carnie Wilson - to the pop culture limelight. And while they've popped up here and there over the years, the past twelve months has see a major resurgence for the trio.
First, the ladies and their song "Hold On" figured prominently in the climax of last summer's hit film Bridesmaids. Then, Chynna went on to be a contestant last fall on ABC's popular Dancing With The Stars. And, just this week, the new Wilson Phillips CD Dedicated was released featuring songs that made their parents famous, like "Good Vibrations" and "Dedicated To The One I Love."

We got the first word on director Albert Pyun's adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's Cool Air at the end of last week, and to kick of this week, we have a look at the brand new key art for the film.
Cool Air will be debuting at the Estepona International Film Festival in September, and rest of us here in the States should be able to see it soon afterwards via Wrekin Hill, who bought North America rights to the film.
Writer Cynthia Curnan and Pyun have re-imagined the story with a contemporary but no less creepy setting. Cool Air stars Morgan Weisser, Wendy Phillips, Jenny Dare Paulin, Crystal Green, and Norbert Weisser; and the editing is by Glen Berry.
You can check out the opening credits sequence below, but first here's the 1926 short story's synopsis courtesy of Wikipedia:

Another H.P. Lovecraft adaptation is headed our way, this time from the man for whom "rest" is a dirty word, director Albert Pyun, who is putting the finishing touches on Cool Air, which will be debuting at the Estepona International Film Festival in September.

Badly burned while fighting in Iraq, J.R. Martinez says there was once a time that he wanted to die. On Monday night, the soldier-turned-actor channeled all the heartache and pain from his wartime experience into a emotionally wrenching performance on Dancing with the Stars.Martinez and pro partner Karina Smirnoff did a rumba to Tim McGraw's "If You're Reading This," about wives who receive letters saying that their husbands aren't coming home from war. In the audience was his guest, teenager Jenna Bullen, who was burned over 95 percent of her body in a hot water heater accident when she was 3 years old.

When I saw "Crazy Heart" recently, I was knocked out not only by Jeff Bridges' incredibly authentic performance but also by Robert Duvall in a much smaller role. There's not a moment in the film in which Duvall is anything less than utterly truthful, which is always the case with him.So I was amused when I called actor, teacher, and Sanford Meisner disciple Jim Jarrett to discuss what truthful acting really means, and he told me a funny story related to him by Jon Voight. Long ago, when Duvall and Voight were in Meisner's class, Duvall took one step into a scene and Meisner said, "Already wrong." Which proves that sometimes even the most talented actors have to learn what it means to be honest when acting."You can't fake it," says Jarrett of truthfulness. If the moment "isn't as full as it should be, you lead yourself along and don't push…...

Those ladies out there who…ahem…admire David Boreanaz, are going to Love the December 10th Christmas episode of Bones, where Booth is forced to strip down to his boxers. Why? Who the hell Cares?! Pick any reason. The writers can say it's because of the ozone layer and it won't make a lick of a difference to me.
Oh yeah, and Zooey Deschanel and Ryan O'Neal are both making guest appearances. Love them both. But then I get distracted by the first sneak peek below. Check out all three (courtesy of Fox) and then go view the promo and photos we previously posted.

I love Bones' Christmas episodes, because they're always so cute and sweet and usually funny. And they warm my little Scrouge heart with the joy of the holiday season. Fox has released photos and a synopsis of the December 10th episodes of Bones (it will then be on holiday hiatus until January 14th). The Christmas episode marks the return of Ryan ONeal as Brennan's father and the appearance of Zooey Deschanel (Emily Deschanel's sister).
Also, check out the photos, promo and behind-the-scenes photos from the December 3rd episode.
