Where Are They Now? The Legends Of Dynasty John James And AMC Alan Dysert
Image
It’s been a bit since I’ve posted a blog, which hopefully someone out there has noticed. I had to take a brief hiatus from my daily Days viewing to get a real job (temporarily!). But I didn’t completely leave the soap world behind. For the past six week, I served as the production coordinator for a civil war feature filming in middle Tennessee produced by All My Children veteran Alan Dysert (ex-Sean Cudahy) and featuring Dynasty legend John James (ex-Jeff Colby).

Yes, that’s right. Nashville is not just home to the Dimera warehouse in which all the dead bodies of Salems finest and not-so-finest are resurrected when the storyline serves. It is also home to quite a few daytime alums. Melissa Reeves, Scott Reeves, Jonathan Jackson. So it should come as no surprise a movie filming just outside of Nashville would feature not one but two former sudsers.

Rascal Flatts’ Singer Reveals How He’ll Stay Sober On Tour
Image
After two decades of making music together, country supergroup Rascal Flatts announced their decision to disband in 2021. The news came as a shock to fans around the world, who had grown up with the trio’s signature harmonies and hits like “Life is a Highway” and “Bless the Broken Road.”

Gary LeVox, Jay DeMarcus, and Joe Don Rooney formed Rascal Flatts in 1999, quickly rising through the ranks of Nashville’s competitive country scene. Their blend of pop-infused hooks earned them 17 number one singles. The group’s farewell tour was originally planned for 2020 but delayed due to the pandemic. The tour never happened because they split up instead.

But the glitzy life is a world away from her childhood in the U.K., where the singer reveals her New Zealand-born parents, John and Molly, struggled to make ends meet, feeding their family on less than $6 a day and relying heavily on supermarket scraps.

Sharknado (2013)
The fourth installment of Syfy's mega-popular Sharknado series premiered Sunday. And in case there was any question that The 4th Awakens would be a slight Star Wars parody, the film answered that right away by opening with an "Episode IV" scrolling prologue reminiscent of George Lucas' space franchise.

Ian Ziering was back as chainsaw-touting Fin Shepard, alongside Tara Reid and David Hasselhoff. With a new team of allies by their side, they battled the Sharknados – which this time have evolved into fire-breathing, hail-throwing, sand-blasting threats.

They also spewed their fair share of Star Wars puns, including a "May the force be with you" line,...

Sharknado 4 Trailer Has Strippers Fighting Sharks in Las Vegas
Sharknado (2013)
After invading both the West and East Coasts in the first three movies, the Sharknado sensation is heading to the Las Vegas desert in Sharknado: The 4th Awakens. Last month, Syfy took advantage of Star Wars Day (May 4) to debut a new, yet very familiar poster for this sequel, which spoofed last year's blockbuster Star Wars: The Force Awakens. With just under two months left until this sequel debuts, the network has debuted a new trailer, which shows how some of Sin City's finest strippers and Elvis impersonators defend themselves from this onslaught of sharks.

Fin Shepard (Ian Ziering) and April Wexler (Tara Reid) reprise their roles from the first three Sharknado movies, with Gary Busey signing on to play April's father. Sharknado: The 4th Awakens takes place five years after the East Coast was ravaged in last summer's Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!. Fin (Ziering...

Watch: What Happens in Sharknado ... New 4th Awakens Trailer Shows a Chippendales Dancer Pelvic-Thrusting a Shark into Oblivion
Sharknado (2013)
The Sharks are about to win Big in #Sharknado4. Hitting @Syfy on July 31. #The4thAwakens https://t.co/hHt6P6XtXt

— Sharknado (@SharknadoSyfy) June 1, 2016 Viva Shark Vegas!

A new trailer for the fourth installment of the Skarknado series has been released, and a whole new school of sharks is terrorizing the people of Las Vegas.

In the clip, Finn Shepard (Ian Ziering) is in a state of disbelief that he has to deal with titular predators yet again.

But the moment that's worth the price of admission is when a Chippendales dancer (which, ahem, Zierine once was) uses the family jewels to deflect a shark.

Syfy have revealed the first wave of cameos and the official movie poster for Sharknado: The 4th Awakens, with Anthony C. Ferrante returning to direct an original screenplay written by Thunder Levin, premiering in the Us on Sunday July 31st.

Sharknado: The 4th Awakens takes place five years after the East Coast was ravaged in last summer’s Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!. Fin (Ziering), his family and the cosmos have been blissfully sharknado-free in the intervening years, but now sharks – and ‘nados! – are being whipped up in places (and ways) least expected. Tara Reid is also set to return as April Wexler to reveal the outcome of the fan-voted #AprilLives or #AprilDies social campaign. David Hasselhoff (as Gil Shepard) and Ryan Newman (as Claudia Shepard) will also reprise their Sharknado 3 roles.

Bar Fights, Skinny Dipping and Hangover Moments with Rascal Flatts
Jay DeMarcus and Rascal Flatts
"I have gone skinny dipping several times - it's fun, you should try it." Sage advice from Jay DeMarcus, one third of country music group Rascal Flatts. Gary Levox, Joe Don Rooney and DeMarcus returned to the Vegas strip this month for their second residency at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel, so we thought it was only appropriate to play a sinful version of "Never Have I Ever" with the guys. We learned about hair extensions, terrible hangovers and the risqué placement of a certain Tweety bird tattoo. Don't miss a beat of country music news, photos and videos!
