'Pam and Tommy' Premiere Review

Early this morning, the long-awaited premiere of 'Pam and Tommy' started streaming on Hulu. It is loosely based on the events that led to the release of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee's sex tape. Stolen from their home, it can truly be considered one of the first major celebrity sex tapes. This takes viewers back to 1995 and the events that transpired, leading up to the tape being stolen and ultimately released to the world. Starring Sebastian Stan as Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee and Lily James as Pamela Anderson, it is hard to look away. The transformation of the two actors is simply incredible and beyond mind-blowing. For that alone, it is worth the watch. Stan flawlessly plays Lee who is categorically a douche, deserving of the heist that leads to the sex tape being stolen.

James, for her part, is beyond stunning in her innocent yet sexy portrayal of Anderson. The two of them exude love, passion, and pure sex. It is like watching the actual couple for those who are old enough to remember when the rock star and actress/model first had their whirlwind romance. Seth Rogen shines as Rand Gauthier, the jilted contractor who decides to steal Lee's safe in exchange for profits lost. What he uncovers is more than he expected. Nick Offerman is perfection as a sleazy porn director. Three episodes are currently streaming with the next dropping next Wednesday, eight in total. Though filled with nudity and sex, it is not out of context. The premise is a leaked sex tape therefore there it works within the context of the series. 

For those who do not do well with nudity, simply fast forward or remember that Stan is wearing a prosthetic. Look at it for what it is and why the filmmakers chose to add in a lot of intimate scenes. Here were two people madly in love who wed after just four days together. Then, they filmed their most private moments which were never to see the light of day and ended up rocking the world. This is a show you do not want to sleep on if only to see how brilliantly James and Stan play these key roles. 

'Pam and Tommy' is now streaming on Hulu.

A 'Jerseylicious' Split!

  photo courtesy of imdb.com When you were on a semi-successful reality show, especially as one of the key players, and everyone watched your love story unfold, it only makes sense they will want to keep following you after the series has ended. Such has been the case for 'Jerseylicious' star, Tracy DiMarco , who always went head-to-head with Olivia Blois-Sharpe on the show based around the never-ending drama at the Jersey salon, The Gatsby. Eventually, DiMarco got her happily ever after when she married Corey Epstein in her dream wedding. She continued to pursue her passion, have three kids, develop a wildly successful podcast, and work on clothing and accessories.  But, when you are in the public eye, boasting 541K followers on Instagram , almost everything you do is up for scrutiny. Fans (and haters) began to notice a lack of presence when it came to her husband, Corey and questioned if their marriage was okay. There is an abundance of photos of daughters, Skylar and

'The Real L Word' Cast- Where Are They Now?

  photo courtesy of amazon.com With the return of the hit Showtime series, 'The L Word,' it makes fans of the original show and ultimate reality spinoff, 'The Real L Word,' quite nostalgic. Actors can keep acting but reality stars can drift off into the clouds after their 15 minutes of fame are over. TRLW lasted three seasons with a revolving door of lesbians who soon became like friends and family. Initially based in California, the show followed the lives of a handful of gay women, somehow intertwined in life, and what it was like to date, fall in love, have sex, try to make babies, propose, be successful, and so much more. By the final season, the series went bi-coastal, utilizing NYC as a playground, as well. The show ended in 2012 with two weddings and a lot of tears. So, where are they now?
