Retired US Army General Petraeus May Be Indicted For Passing Classified Info To Former Mistress

Posted in: , , ,

Retired Army Gen. David Petraeus was at the center of an awful cheating scandal in 2012 when it was revealed that he'd had a sexual relationship with his biographer, Paula Broadwell. The firestorm forced one of the most recommended and decorated army generals in the United States to resign from the CIA after it was found that she had access to classified information that she could possibly have only gotten from him.

Now, things are about to take an even uglier turn as according to two U.S. officials, federal prosecutors are reportedly recommending that the retired Army Gen. should face criminal charges for the offence.

#ScandalThursday - Grey's Anatomy, Scandal And How To Get Away With Murder Tonight!

Posted in: , ,

The most exciting for me is How To Get Away With Murder. Though not written by Shonda like Scandal and Grey's Anatomy, the new show is produced by the ABC powerhouse writer and executive producer.

Just the trailer alone should get anyone excited for the show, a legal thriller that is like a combination of Scandal and Suits.

Viola Davis stars as Annalise Keating, the inimitable professor of Criminal Law 100 at Middleton, and what her students learn inside the classroom is no match for the real murder case they become wrapped up in.

Are You Still Rooting For Olivia Pope on Scandal?

Posted in: ,

Since being in Nigeria, I've found myself being in the position of recommender of good movies and series coming out of the States. One of my favorite shows for the past couple of years has been Scandal and I have mentioned it to various people without going into details about the story line. To be honest though, while I still follow the show, I've kinda become jaded to the love story between Olivia and the president which started out as my favorite storyline.

Scandal may be off season right now, but it's still the TV Show to beat, and Kerry Washington is talking it up as she covers Vanity Fair in a white swimsuit. From the show, it's now obvious Kerry shares the love of swimming with Olivia Pope, and the white suits too.

Scandal Sex Scenes With Olivia Pope Are A Problem" For Fitz's Wife

Posted in: , ,
Fitz and Olivia Pope in Scandal

Tony Goldwyn and Kerry Washington's sizzling chemistry on ABC's Scandal is too hot to handle -- especially where his wife is concerned. During an appearance on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live on Wednesday, May 15, the actor revealed to host Andy Cohen that his offscreen love, Jane Musky, doesn't watch the show, largely because of the steamy sex scenes he has with his costar.

Goldwyn, 52, plays President Fitzgerald Grant, who has had a torrid, on-again/off-again affair with Washington's character, Olivia Pope, since season one. Their relationship is a driving force in the series; love scenes between the two are frequent and intense. Asked by a fan what Musky (married to the star since 1989) thinks of the fiery connection, Goldwyn laughed. "It's a problem," he quipped.

"The honest answer is, my wife doesn't watch it," he continued. "She watched the pilot and thought it was great, but yeah...I don't encourage it."

Is This Love? Olivia Pope and Fitz

Posted in: , , ,


Shonda Rhimes and her team of writers will not kill me over Olivia Pope and her love affair with the president. This their love nwantiti, I just can't! Hear it from the lovebirds themselves...

OLIVIA: I don't want to talk to you. I'm never gonna be ready to talk to you, so why don't you just --
FITZ: I love you.
OLIVIA: - stop saying that. You're having me followed, watched. There are cameras in my apartment. That's not love.
FITZ: You have to understand. Defiance changed everything for me. Everything...You don't fix me! You don't handle me! THAT is not love, that's control. I asked you to be a team. We should've been a team. It should've been me and you, but instead it was you and Verna and Cyrus and Hollis and Mellie. I am angry that you fixed the election, but I am even angrier that you thought you were fixing me.
OLIVIA: You're angry ... then why are you here?
FITZ: I'm here because I love you.

Kerry Washington Covers Ebony's Scandal Issue

Posted in: , , ,

Last year was Kerry Washington's year, she broke out as Olivia Pope on the new ABC show, Scandal, now in its second season. She also starred in Django Unchained, even though I felt her character, Broomhilda was very underdeveloped, and Kerry as an actress underutilized. This month, she graces the cover of Ebony magazine, talking about her life, her work, and especially Scandal.

Scandal is one of my favorite show, but the Olivia Pope and President Fitz affair is beginning to weary me. I believe in going for what you want, and the way these two spout sonnets and love to each other of love unbreakable and then go back to the status quo tire me. What is the status quo? The president is married and his wife is heavily pregnant! Add in a handsome hunk of a boyfriend, who happens to be the Senate Majoity Leader, and you have a scandalous stew all right.

I am still watching though, and some of these excerpts from Kerry's interview in Ebony give me a deeper insight into her Olivia Pope character...
