'A Cinderella Story' For the Merriest of Holidays!

*WARNER BROS. HOME ENTERTAINMENT PROVIDED ME WITH A FREE COPY OF THE BLU-RAY I REVIEWED IN THIS BLOG POST. THE OPINIONS I SHARE ARE MY OWN.*

Let me just say 'A Cinderella Story: Christmas Wish' has to be the best addition to the 'Cinderella Story' franchise since the original with Hilary Duff. That was always one of my favorite girlie movies and was followed up by three additional sequels, now four with Christmas Wish, none directly connected to the original. Yet, the theme was the same as 'Cinderella' in general. Girl loses father and is forced to live with evil stepmother and two spoiled stepsisters, beholden by something, usually an inheritance.

Such is the case in Christmas Wish for Kat, just four months premature of her 18th birthday. If she can just make it there, she will get the money her dad left her, which her evil stepmom constantly reminds her. Until the time comes, Kat works as an elf as well as a singing telegram but still must hand over money to the family, though this is completely unnecessary. At work, she meets a handsome stranger who plays Santa and attempts to make it to the grand gala all while being blocked by her horrid step-family. Yet, her best friend, Isla will stop at nothing to ensure she gets the guy and happiness.

The cast is spectacular as Laura Marano is adorably enchanting as Kat while Gregg Sulkin steals the show as the handsome but unassuming Dominic Wintergarden. The cast just works so well together in every scene, down to the handicapped dog and it is just a believable and charming holiday film. It is hopeful, sweet, happy, and perfect for all ages. I was thoroughly engaged the entire film so for that, I give it three gnomes out of four. You can own 'A CINDERELLA STORY: CHRISTMAS WISH' on Blu-Ray and DVD October 29 from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment.

'DWTS' Names First Season 35 Contestants

YouTube Dancing With the Stars has named its first contestants for Season 35. Many names have been thrown around, but now, two are official. The first is Maura Higgins of Love Island and The Traitors fame. She infamously got the winner, Rob Rausch, to buy her a Birkin when he was able to deceive her in Season 4 of The Traitors. Her name had been out there for DWTS as well as for The Bachelorette , so it will be great to see how far she makes it. The next is Summer House star Ciara Miller. She is smack dab in the middle of the Amanda Batula/West Wilson romance scandal, so her time is now. This all went down on Wednesday, April 22nd, at Hulu's Get Real House event. The new season will likely premiere in September, so get ready. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Entertainment Tonight (@entertainmenttonight) Are you excited about this new cast so far ? Let us know who else you want to see.

A 'Jerseylicious' Split!

YouTube 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 Jayden as well as son, ...

Khloe Kardashian’s ‘Khloud’ Protein Popcorn: Light As Air?

YouTube Khloe Kardashian has just launched her Khloud Protein Popcorn, and it's supposed to be extremely special and different. The big draw to it is that it is specifically a protein popcorn. Khloe opted to put protein in a fun, grabbable snack, and it is great for those who need this on the go. Or for people who love to snack, who do not get enough of this essential macronutrient. Yes, protein bars can be great, but they often do not satisfy a craving. So, how did the Khloud popcorn fare, and is it worth the hype? We got it for you. Flying On A Cloud Not everyone wants to support the Kardashians, and that is understandable . They have become a hit-or-miss family and might be overrated. However, almost everything that they touch turns to gold, so adding food only makes sense. Kourtney Kardashian has her own supplement line, and now, Khloe Kardashian has ventured into snacks. She has long been into fitness, and it has been a great coping mechanism. So, on April 29th, 2025, she dro...
