Santa Clarita Diet - Global Scenes

Santa Clarita Diet introduces Joel and Sheila's real estate nemeses

After the slam-bang season two premiere where the Santa Clarita Diet-ers had to solve some serious problems, it’s back to business as usual for the Hammonds. But a couple new wrinkles are teased that should provide plenty of wacky hijinks and fun storylines for the season.
For Joel and Sheila, they have their eyes on a new housing development that would be a serious get for our resident real-a-tors (solidarity with Sheila, even if it’s incorrect). Their boss (the always-delightful Andy Richter) says that development is on hold since Gary’s disappearance, but if the Hammonds can land a fancy-pants listing for the firm, he’ll let them move forward with the development.
The wealthy seller in question is ... well, it doesn’t really matter what her character name is because I shouted “Markie Post!” as soon as she came on screen and I shall continue to do so for the duration of this review. Big Night Court fan over here. Anyway, Markie Post! is one of those rich, kinda lonely people who is way too into her dog. Joel and Sheila are making inroads with her when who should arrive but their apparent real estate nemeses, Chris and Christa. This is another terrific bit of casting because Joel McHale is highly skilled at playing a d-bag and Maggie Lawson is quite the Gal Friday for him, it turns out.

Adele - Global Scenes

Adele Hello, it’s me. I was wondering if after all these years you’d like to get married? Whoa . . . What are you on about? Sorry, I couldn’t resist. But you won’t believe this. Adele’s been ordained. Adele as in Adele? Yep, Adele as in Adele. She can now marry people. Crikey. Career change, or just not enough to do? Don’t these celebrities have albums to promote or reality television gigs to be getting on with? Well, she has only married one couple as far as I know. The whole ordination thing was for Alan Carr, the comedian, and his groom, Paul Drayton. She was planning their wedding ceremony (in her garden in Los Angeles, darling) and was going to sing too, so decided to do everything. Everything?                                                                           Read more... ...

Arnold Schwarzenegger is in stable condition Friday after undergoing emergency open-heart surgery during a procedure to replace a valve in his heart, according to his spokesman. Schwarzenegger, 70, went to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Thursday for a planned procedure to replace a pulmonic valve that was originally installed in 1997 due to a congenital heart defect, Schwarzenegger's  spokesman Daniel Ketchell said in a statement.
