Quote Of The Moment...

"I'm Erica Kane!  Everything I do is breaking news!"

-Erica Kane

3.5 Million!

You read that number right!  Just shy of 3.5 million viewers tuned in to see All My Children's network television finale!  How awesome is that?!  I wonder if The Mouse House is second-guessing their decision to cancel?  The combination of numbers, and nail-endangering cliffhanger, looks like the perfect springboard for Prospect Park.  Things are really shaping up!

Ordered!

Ordered my Kindle Fire this morning!  Absolutely cannot wait!  Been thinking about it, and love that it's a little smaller than the standard tablet.  Will fit on my tray easier.  From everything I've read and seen thus far, Kindle Fire is going straight to the top!  Books, games, music, and movies!  Incredible!

Kindle Fire

Okay, so apparently it's not all speculation.  Doing more research, I found that Amazon has indeed made an official announcement regarding a tablet.  Introducing... Kindle Fire!  Don't know a lot about the specs, but it will be touch screen.  One of its biggest selling points?  Apparently, it's going to be half the price of the Ipad.  Honestly, I bought an Ipad a week ago, and returned it.  In my humble opinion, there's absolutely nothing special about them.  Those who know me, know I support anything Amazon.  So excited about this I can't even put it into words!  If what's being said is true, and preorders will start being taken as soon as next week, I think I'm going to reserve my place in line!

A Name!

Prospect Park has finally named their soon-launching online channel.  The Online Network will be the new home of All My Children, and One Life To Live!  Great news!  While no official dates have been given, the splash page of the website promises a January 2012 kickoff.

Kindle 4? Amazon Kindle Tablet?

While talking on the phone with my mom this morning, I mentioned that I was sad to be without a reading device, and looking into getting a Kindle again.  She said that she heard on the news that a new one was coming out later this year, and I should do some research.  I have, and she was right!  Apparently, from what I can gather, Amazon is planning on releasing two versions of a 4th generation Kindle, (one with touch screen and color, the other a standard grayscale e-ink display with new features), and an Amazon Kindle Tablet.  Supposedly, the tablet will feature an all-new Android based operating system exclusive to this, and future Amazon releases.  Further speculation has Amazon offering a free Amazon Prime membership to those who purchase the tablet.  These new electronic marvels are said to hit shelves between October of this year, and January of next.  Very intriguing stuff.  Of course, until Amazon releases an official announcement, I'm treating all of this as hearsay.  Will definitely keep everyone updated.

You Win Some...

Good news, kids!  Lindsay Hartley has signed on the dotted line, and will continue with All My Children!  Love her!  Love Cara!  Love everything about it!  Totally thrilled!

Here's another little nugget that had me jumping for joy!  We're finally rid of Judy Blye Wilson!  Don't know who that is?  She's the ridiculously untalented casting director.  Some of the gems on her resume?  The portrayers of Asher, Colby, Caleb, Maya, Liza, and countless other  mistakes.  Good riddance!

I hate to have to report this.  Cameron Mathison is also making the transition.  When the Prospect Park news originally broke, I prayed that he would move on, and Ryan would die a slow, painful death.  Doesn't look that way.  Hate him!  I'm going to go cry.

One Last Time!

I hear that Josh Duhamel will appear on the final network television broadcast of All My Children.  This is so exciting, and wonderful!  While I doubt he'll be alive, it only seems right that Leo gets a final goodbye.  Never thought it possible to be heartbroken and ecstatic at the same time.

Still A Go!

During a recent visit to Good Morning America, Cameron Mathison (Ryan) revealed that the cast of AMC has been approached several times by Prospect Park.  I hope this means everything is moving in the right direction.  Fingers crossed!

Patriotic!

Love These Guys!

Love these guys!  In the beginning of the year, there were reports of a reunion, sans Ashley.  Was so pumped, but nothing ever came of them.  You can bet that, if O-Town ever gets back together, I'll be all about it!

I Like It!

Just found this.  Looks like the poster for the upcoming revival.  If this is official, I approve.  Good staff!

Doesn't Seam Possible!

Can't believe the oldest nephew is starting kindergarten on Monday!  Seems like I saw him for the first time only yesterday.  So grown-up already!  Before you know it, he'll be asking to borrow the car to go on a hot date!  Time does fly!

Quote Of The Moment...

"My idea of a perfect world, is one in which we really appreciate each others differences.  Short/Tall, Democrat/Republican, Black/White, Gay/Straight.  A world in which all of us are equal, but definitely not the same."

-Barbra Streisand

Racist?

Rejected!

Deadline.com is reporting that Susan Lucci has rejected Prospect Park's offer to stay with All My Children.  The same report says that AMC is being shelved for the time being so that all energy can be focused on One Life To Live.  What does this mean for our show?  If Susan walks, is it all over?  The way the article made it sound, that may very well be the case.

While I totally agree that La Lucci is a living legend, I don't think it's right to hitch all wagons to her.  If PP are as smart as they've proven to be thus far, they will write Erica out until a deal can be made.  Just because one aspect of a giant undertaking is unsure, it doesn't mean the whole thing should be scrapped.  I hope the rug isn't polled out from underneath before anything even has the chance to get off the ground.

Quote Of The Moment...

"By the way, I do know why you stayed away.  I will keep tongue-tied next time.

-Life Less Ordinary-Carbon Leaf

Change...

The name of Barbra's new movie has been changed. Originally known as My Mother's Curse, the new title is Guilt Trip.  The movie will be released just in time for the holidays next year.

Conflict...

Unfortunate news.  Due to a scheduling conflict, Levin Rambin is unable to  bring Lily back to Pine Valley before All My Children ends its television run.  While I'm not all that broken up, I know the character and actress have fans.  I was looking forward to hearing Lily count again, though.  Was always funny to me.  Oh, well...

Warming Up...

Just perfecting my moves before our big match.  He's such a good guy for letting me try out new stuff on him.  Isn't that what tag team partners do?

Hallelujah!

That's right, I'm debt free!  To say it feels awesome would be the understatement of the century!  Have waited a long time for this!  So happy and relieved!

Tribute!

On September 23rd, The View will pay tribute to All My Children.  The show will include behind the scenes footage, classic clips, interviews with the stars, and a few special surprises.  As you will recognize by the date, the tribute coincides with the last episode of AMC on ABC.  So sad.

Check local listings for showtimes and affiliates.

Number 4!

Barbra's newest album, What Matters Most: Barbra Streisand Sings The Lyrics Of Alan And Marilyn Bergman, has debuted at number 4 on the charts. While some fans are disappointed it failed to take top position, I think it's still wonderful! Congratulations, Barbra!

Flawless Florencia!

It's been a while, but here we go.  Florencia Lozano  was impeccable as Tea in the scenes where she discovers Victor clinging to life after being shot.  Everything from her pleading for him not to die, to the explosion of grief when he did, was flawless.  In stark contrast to similar scenarios I've seen played out lately, Florencia's performance was measured, calculated, and captivating.  Every guttural scream and bitter tear meant something.  Honestly, there shouldn't even be competition in the Lead Actress category at the Daytime Emmys next year.  Just give her the statue, and call it a day.  Those scenes are going to stay with me for a long time.
