Set Your DVRs - Part 1

The 2010 Fall Television Season is upon us and I must admit, I am HYPED about all of the shows that are hitting the networks this season, both old and new!!!

One of the new series that I am highly anticipating stars two of the most BEAUTIFUL people to grace the small screen, NBC's Undercovers. The fact that Undercovers is produced by Lost and Alias genius, J.J. Abrams, makes this new series a must-see! 

Undercovers follows the lives of Stephen and Samantha Bloom, a married couple who work as caterers by day and undercover American spies by night. 

Stephen is played by the extremely gorgeous Boris Kodjoe, who is making his small screen comeback.  For you die-hard fans of Showtime's hit series, Soul Food, you will remember Boris in his breakout role as Damon Carter, the love interest of the oldest Joseph sister, Teri.  Boris ironically fell in love with the actress who portrayed Teri, Nicole Ari Parker, and they are now married with two children, Sophie and Nicolas.  Boris' post-Soul Food gigs include the short-lived sitcom starring him and his wife called Second Time Around, the hit action movie, Surrogates, starrring Bruce Willis, and the soon-to-be released sci-fi thriller, Resident Evil: Afterlife.  Boris is also very active with Sophie's Voice Foundation, which is an organization to help raise awareness for children with Spina Bifida, such as his daughter and namesake of the foundation, Sophie.  For more information about this amazing foundation, please visit the website at SophiesVoiceFoundation.org. 

The role of Samantha Bloom is portrayed by newcomer, and equally gorgeous, Gugu Mbatha-Raw.  Born and raised in the UK, Gugu is a talented actress, singer and dancer.  Although Gugu is new to American television, she has made her mark on British television in the hit series, Doctor Who. 

I have three words to describe this show - SEXY, FUNNY, & ENTERTAINING!  So, set your DVRs to record the series premiere of Undercovers for Wednesday, September 22 at 8/7c on NBC.
For exclusive interviews and information, you may follow Undercovers on Twitter and become a fan on Facebook. 

Ciao,

'Dancing w/the Stars' Season 11 Cast

This is the night we all have been waiting for...the night that the Season 11 'Dancing w/the Stars' cast is revealed, and we can only pray that none of the 12 celebs are as horrific as Kate Gosselin was on last season's DWTS.  The celebs are:

Kurt Warner (NFL Quarterback), Brandy (R&B singer and actress), Rick Fox (3-time NBA Champion of the Los Angeles Lakers and actor), Bristol Palin (her last name speaks for itself), Margaret Cho (comedienne and actress), MTV Reality Celebs, Audrina Patridge ('The Hills') and Mike "Situation" Sorrentino ('The Jersey Shore'), Jennifer Grey (Dirty Dancing actress), Kyle Massey (Disney Channel's 'That's So Raven' and 'Corey in the House' actor), David Hasselhoff (actor), Michael Bolton (crooner),  and the token geriatric celeb of the season, Florence Henderson (you know the mama from the Brady Bunch who had a steamy off-screen love affair w/one of the Brady sons while frying chicken in Wesson oil?!?)

There you go, the Season 11 Dancing w/the Stars lineup!!! It is too early for me to choose my favorite celeb, although I knew at this stage last season that Nicole Scherzinger (The Pussycat Dolls) would go home w/the coveted Mirror Ball trophy, but from the list above, it looks as though we'll have more Kate Gosselins this season than Nicole Scherzingers....Lord, help us all!!!

Simply & Naturally Nikki

Who the heck is Simply & Naturally Nikki?! Well, I am a married mother of two very rambunctious boys (whom I will affectionately refer to as Thing 1 and Thing 2), a full-time college student, and full-time employee...in other words; you can just call me SUPERWOMAN!!! Seriously, I have a crazy-hectic life, so I definitely give all the glory to God, because if it weren't for Him, I would be locked up in somebody's psych ward, sitting in a corner with my thumb in my mouth, singing show-tunes wearing nothing but an adult diaper and one tube sock! Needless to say, I have a lot on my mind; therefore, I decided to start this blog as an outlet. I will blog about everything from my family life, to television/movie/music reviews, to recipes I would LOVE to cook (keep in mind that I CANNOT cook, so, I'm sure there will be plenty of pics of my failed attempts), to the latest news in entertainment, to my fashion hits and misses, to restaurant reviews, to products and deals, and much more! So, thank you in advance for taking this journey into my life…SIMPLY & NATURALLY Nikki!
