The Real Housewives of New Jersey - Season 8

If you’re looking for something spicy on Wednesday night, the best combo on the planet might be watching your favorite prime time TV shows and eating a couple of tacos. I only bring this to your attention because it’s National Taco Day. Every major taco outlet is celebrating this hashtag holiday (#NationalTacoDay) with deals and a good taco and TV story appears to be a win-win. Whether watching Law & Order: SVU, The Blacklist, Criminal Minds or Survivor, what food could be better?

Ellen & Oprah grocery shop

What happens when Ellen and Oprah grocery shop? Well, you learn that there are a few new products with Oprah’s name on it and that most stars haven’t been to a grocery store in years. The comical moments are bountiful when the two biggest names in the TV business grab a cart and start shopping.

The shocked look on the other shoppers’ faces is priceless. Pushing a cart through the store, the two celebrities encounter normal people who rarely see such a sight. Even funnier is Ellen repeatedly scaring Oprah with Halloween items. Take a peek at the video clip. You might find yourself giggling at the chaos.

Michael Weatherly photo: A look at a to-be-famous teen

Fans of NCIS and Bull got to enjoy a throwback picture of Michael Weatherly on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Encouraging famous folks to share older pics of themselves, every photo shown on the program helps the folks of Puerto Rico recover from the devastating hurricanes. Michael Weatherly’s picture was a cute moment in time and, as the star mentioned, he had a John Denver haircut.

RHONJ premiere: Fans ready for a whole new season

The ladies of The Real Housewives of New Jersey are back! Tonight Bravo once again shares the life of reality stars living in New Jersey with promised meltdowns later in the season. The RHONJ premiere has created some buzz, it’s not as big and enticing as seen in previous years.

The return of Danielle Staub is definitely a love it or hate it decision for fans. Nobody is on the fence about this woman when it comes to the reality show, so it’s really unclear if fans will embrace her or want her gone. Further along in the season, we’ll be able to see how the fans respond to her return and I assume it will be fun to watch it all play out.

And Finally…Pauley Perrette announces NCIS departure

The news of Pauley Perrette leaving NCIS has been checked, double-checked and triple-checked by fans. With the source of this sad decision coming from Pauley herself, the actress who plays Abby, a forensic scientist, will be leaving the show at the end of the season. The announcement will impact the show substantially and it will leave a huge hole for fans (you can read more about Pauley’s decision to leave NCIS at the link here).

It’s pretty easy for NCIS fans like myself to be hyperventilating about this news, but it’s not going to happen until the end of the season. For now, the NCIS fans will have new episodes with Pauley Perrette included every Tuesday night and we need to enjoy every episode to the fullest.
