Guess Who's Not Showing Up On 'Ellen?'
In spite of his predecessor and the former First Lady being allowed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show multiple times, President Donald Trump is simply not to turn up for an interview. This perhaps unsurprising bit of news surfaced as veteran Today interviewer Matt Lauer sat down with Ellen DeGeneres to talk about the 20th anniversary of her very public coming out, their upcoming 60th birthdays and their prank war.

Twin Peaks: In Memoriam
Miguel Ferrer (Feb 7th, 1955 to Jan 19th, 2017) The oldest son of Academy Award winning actor Jose Ferrer and singer Rosemary Clooney, and cousin to George Clooney, Miguel was born in Santa Monica and raised in a creatively talented family in Hollywood, California. Although his early interest was in music, Ferrer moved into acting in the 80's, and made guest appearances in many popular TV shows, such as Magnum P.I. and Hill Street Blues. Ferrer's big break was arguably as cocky and ambitious executive Bob Morton, in Paul Verhoeven's 1987 classic black comedy sci-fi Robocop, alongside other 'Peaks alumni Ray Wise and Dan O'Herlihy. In 1990 Ferrer played FBI Agent Albert Rosenfield in Twin Peaks, to critical acclaim and fan adoration; Albert's sarcastic quips and cynical exterior belied a sensitive, humanistic nature which endeared him to many. Whilst he only featured in 8 of the 30 episodes, Albert quickly cemented himself as a fan favourite and his monologue to Sheriff Truman stands out as one of Peaks' best character moments.

Canadian Mental Health Association Discusses '13 Reasons Why'
13 Reasons Why continues to generate a lot of discussion for all who might be involved in watching it, and with good reason. It's believed that on the plus side, 13 Reasons Why has generated a lot of discussion about teen mental health challenges and suicide, but that perhaps there are other issues that we should be more wary of when watching the show.

'13 Reasons Why' and the Controversial Theme
Unless you've been living in some remote area with no internet service and only communicating with inanimate objects, then, chances are, you've seen (or, at least heard of) Netflix's recently released title, 13 Reasons Why. The series was adapted from a novel written by Jay Asher but, for now, I'm only going to discuss the Netflix show.

Mr. Lucky
Some people go through life without the slightest bit of luck. Stuck in dead end jobs, or marry the wrong one. It has been said that all too often a certain amount of luck happens to, you guessed it, certain people. But what is being lucky all about? Can people change their luck or can they create circumstances where one is more prone to success than the other just by chance? Or is it just plain dumb luck that happens to some not only periodically but practically every day? Webster defines luck or chance, as it is sometimes associated with luck, as an event which occurs beyond one's control, without regard to one's will, intention, or desired result. It can be said your are a lucky person if you walk into a Las Vegas casino where at the poker table your first hand is a Royal Flush with a pot that is beyond imagination. Then, again one might be considered lucky if you got to kiss the girl of your dreams and live happily ever after. It is also the chance happening of fortunate or adverse events; fortune: They met one day out of pure luck. Good fortune or prosperity; success: We wish you luck all are connotations associated with being lucky.

Ato Essandoh of BBC America’s Copper Takes Pride in Role of Real Life African American Civil War Doctor
Ato Essandoh is (or was?) one of these character actors who’s face you definitely know but come without name recognition. Movie roles in blockbuster films like Blood Diamond and Hitch have been frequently woven around appearances in TV dramas such as Damages, The Good Wife and Law and Order. Most recently, the Schenectady born actor has emerged into a reoccurring role on Elementary with Lucy Lui. But now also playing Dr. Matthew Freeman on Copper has finally given him a permanent place to hang his shingle every week. Set in Civil War New York City, he couldn’t help but continue in that vein in accepting a small part in Django Unchained – even if it meant playing “the method” to a bloody conclusion. Actually mauled to death by a vicious dog as an oft escaped slave, Essandoh gladly met his untimely end in exchange for the chance to work with Quentin Tarantino. At least that’s what the internet reported.

O.J.: Made in America
We’ve all heard the story: O.J. Simpson brutally murdered his wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ronald Goldman and got away with it. It’s as simple as that. The story is one of prosecutorial ineptitude, ill-fitting gloves and media sensationalism- that’s how O.J. was acquitted of a crime despite the seemingly overwhelming amount of evidence implicating him. To me it really was that simple. But I was wrong.
