Sarah Shahi’s “Fairly Legal” Debuts Tonight – Exclusive Photos & Video

Posted on by

The USA Network’s latest drama, Fairly Legal, debuts tonight, Thursday, at 10 PM EST, and will star Sarah Shahi, the former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader turned actress.

Best known for her role as Carmen de la Pica Morales on The L Word, Shahi was also #90 on the Maxim magazine “Hot 100 of 2005” list, before moving on up to #66 in 2006.

On Fairly Legal, the beautiful, exotic Shahi of Iranian and Mexican descent, plays Kate Reed, daughter of a famous lawyer.

For five years, she was a rising lawyer star herself, until her father died and she decided to make some major changes in her life and become a mediator instead. How

Sarah explains the show as being “A lot like Law & Order meet Sex & The City with a lot more sex than law!”

About her new role on Fairly Legal, Shahi told BuddyTV.com: 

“I was at a place, when I auditioned for the show, I had just had a baby, I was five weeks post-partum, and I just felt like if I wanted to get back into the game and away from my child, it better be in something that was worth it, and that could really be life-changing for a career and our (family) position.

“Also, I wanted to play the role because I was attracted to Kate. She is a character who’s all cool on the outside, and may look like she has things figured out, but when it comes down to it, she doesn’t. She struggles a lot. She struggles with her relationship with her stepmother, with her relationship with her ex-husband … there’s a whole aspect of her dealing with the death of her dad. There’s a lot going on that lead to these great internal conflicts for her, and I really wanted to play those out.”

Shahi, is married to star of Showtime’s Shameless, Steve Howey. The two were at an interview with Mario Lopez of Extra recently –  and I videotaped a cute little flirtation between Shahi and Lopez, as hubby Howey stood on the sideline. Howey was a pretty cool champ about it all; he even took a pic of his wife and Lopez with his own cell phone (see below). Watch the flirtation for yourself:

American Idol judge Randy Jackson was at The Grove today and told Mario Lopez of Extra that Simon Cowell is “irreplaceable”.

Along the same lines, Jackson had recently told Entertainment Weekly, “It’s not about replacing him or any of the others – Paula [Abdul], Ellen [DeGeneres], Kara [DioGuardi], anybody else… it’s definitely been interesting. He’s our friend for life…

“So, listen, we definitely miss him, but it’s a different kind of vibe. It’s a different kind of energy now. And I think in season 10 the show actually really needed it.”

The new season of American Idol with new judges Jennifer Lopez and Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler will premiere in the 19 January. Simon Cowell’s new show – a US version of the X Factor – will be broadcast later this year.




Gayle King Gets Her Own Show! Watch Her Dance With Mario Lopez In Celebration!

Talk show host and Oprah Winfrey‘s BFF, Gayle King, is getting her own show! The Gayle King Show will premiere Monday, Jan. 10 at 10:00 AM on Winfrey’s OWN Network.

Gayle stopped by The Grove in Los Angeles, CA to tell Mario Lopez of Extra all about her new show, her best friend Oprah, her love for Katy Perry, and to dish out some great advice to women.

About her new show, Gayle said: “We’re marrying radio [her popular Oprah XM radio show] and TV together. It’s not celebrity-driven, although I am a big pop culture and news junkie, and so am certainly very in touch with that. What makes it work is the people that come to call and come to play with me.”

King will also be participating in OWN’s Ask Oprah’s All Stars with Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz and Suze Orman.

At the moment OWN launched, Gayle could not be with her best friend. But she called Oprah and told her, “I am so proud and so happy for you!” Gayle continued, “Listen, this is a young black girl. ‘Colored’ girl back then who grew up with no TV! Who now has a network!”

What is the biggest advice Gayle has learned along her road to success and which she wants to tell women: “We are juggling so many balls. And occasionally you’re gonna drop a ball but my thing is you pick it up and just keep going. And just refuse to beat yourself up when you are doing the best you can.”

Gayle loves Katy Perry’s Firework, so, the crew played the song and Gayle and Mario danced away!

Russell Simmons, co-founder of hip-hop label Def Jam, creator of the clothing fashion line Phat Farm, an entrepreneur, entertainment and fashion icon, philanthropist, and yogi, was recently named one of the “Top 25 Most Influential People of the Past 25 Years,” by USA Today.

The newspaper called Simmons a “hip-hop pioneer” for his groundbreaking vision which has influenced music, fashion,  television and film and finance.

It takes many people to run Simmons’ empire and Simmons gives all credit for his mega media empire to his staff of beautiful ladies. The running of his empire is documented on the Oxygen reality series, Running Russell Simmons.

The show’s motto reads: Behind every good man is a great woman, but behind every American mogul stands several great women. Running Russell Simmons offers an exclusive peek at the life of Russell Simmons — and the powerful team which helps to keep the machine running. Simmons’ assistants not only know the ins and outs of his business deals, but also have a hand in managing his family life and party planning: a 24/7 commitment.

Simmons was at The Grove in Los Angeles for a quick chat with Mario Lopez of Extra. Lopez asked Simmons: “Can anyone learn to be a successful person?” Simmons answered: I wrote a book about it. Super Rich – Good givers are great getters. Success is the more you give, the more you get.”

The duo, along with their baby were at The Grove in Los Angeles Wednesday to perform a couple of songs for Extra, off of her upcoming album, “Farmer’s Daughter“ which will be released December 14. Yes, the duo even sang a beautifully-moving song together which you can watch below.
About her upcoming album, Bowersox said, “it contains some heavy stuff, but it’s important for people to talk about issues of child abuse.”
Bowersox, mother of a beautiful baby boy, was asked if she was considering having another baby. She replied, “my manager wants me to do at least one tour before I get pregnant again.” Her husband Brian was heard saying “Booooooo” off stage during this comment. It was quite cute.

If I had not grown up watching Alyssa Milano play the spunky Samantha Micelli on the 80’s sitcom, Who’s the Boss, I would have thought Alyssa is still a teenager in real life.

She looks spectacular in person and must have a fountain of youth in her backyard. Or, it’s more likely all of her philanthropic and humanitarian endeavors which keeps her so young and vibrant. Continue reading →
