Bought to you by J.J. Abrams executive producer of such hits television series as “Lost”, “FRINGE”, and “Star Trek” and movies “Super 8″ and most recently, “Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol.”
The show will follow detectives who have stumbled upon a mystery, as the suspect to a homicide turns out to be an impossible culprit, a deceased prisoner of Alcatraz. Through careful investigation detectives discover that the culprit is in fact the prisoner, not only alive and well, but not one day older than he was when he roamed the cells of Alcatraz decades ago.
While detectives work trying to find the prisoner and put a stop to his killing spree, they discover that he is only small piece of a much bigger case, as it is revealed that he will not be the only prisoner to reemerge from Alcatraz to wreak havoc.
Alcatraz will premier Monday Jan. 16th @ 8PM on FOX.
Hopefully I didn’t give too much away.

As I was perusing in Web earlier today, I stumbled over a post from the New York Times.
It seems that there is yet another Verizon “convenience charge” on the way.
According to droid-life.com, Verizon Wireless will charge a $2 fee when you pay your bill over the phone or online. This is slated to go into effect Jan. 15.
So… your options are, be savvy enough to set up an automatic payment for your bill, or blast yourself back to the stone age and write on one of those check things to stick in that box with the red flag thing on it.
Here’s some consolidation to make you feel better about switching to automatic billing taken from Verizon Wireless’s website:
“You’ll never have to worry about being late and if you enroll in paperless billing, you’ll be contributing to a greener Earth!”
Perhaps you’ve heard of the new thing all the kids are doing… this Pinterest website… I’m a big fan myself.
Like most social media sites, I immediately created an account, then kept quiet and watched how other people used it for a while. Immediately, I was hooked.
The idea of Pinterest is to create a virtual corkboard of things you like, then “pin” things to each board you create. The boards can be any subject you’d like. In sum, it’s how the hipsters are putting things they love in one place.
To illustrate, here’s 5 ways I use Pinterest:
Shopping hints – I created a board called “Christmas/birthday wants” about 3 weeks before my birthday this year. Everytime I found something I loved online, I’d pin it to this board. That way, when someone asked me what I wanted, I didn’t agree to a football when I really wanted an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action, 200-Shot Range Model Air Rifle. (Sorry. Just watched A Christmas Story again for the millionth time.) The board has pictures and links to buy each gift online.
Decorating inspiration- Remodeling or decorating your home? Have an idea, but not sure how to follow through? Pinterest is there for you, my friend. Recently, I painted an upstairs bedroom light blue and needed some thoughts on patterns and things to fill the room. I simply searched “blue bedroom” in Pinterest to see other people’s ideas for blue bedrooms. Instantly, I got style points from all over (some good, some bad).
Recipes – I love spending time in the kitchen pretending like I know what I’m doing. I also enjoy eating. A lot. There are also plenty of people with Pinterest accounts that enjoy those as well. When I find a picture of delectible baked goods, or something curious like Nutella Hot Chocolate, I pin those photos on my “Om nom nom” board. Then, when I find the urge to be creative in the kitchen, I take a look at that board and pick an idea to conquer.
How to’s – Google will always be there. This is true. But, I find that folks who use Pinterest tend to be a little more creative than others. For example, my husband and I save our corks every time we open a bottle of wine. My intention was to make a cork board out of them, but I am sure there are other things to do with them. I searched “corks” and found everything from place card holders, trivets, candle arrangements and even a bathmat!
Event/holiday planning – Getting married? Planning a theme party? Pinterest is a great way to keep track of things you like over time, sort of like a scrapbook, minus all the effort. The trick is, when you find something you like on any website, you can hit your Pin It button on your bookmarks bar (download it from Pinterest), and you can instantly pin it to a board specifically for that event. So later, when you have time to sort your ideas, you’ve got them all there over time to look through.
To sign up, simply go to pinterest.com and log in with your Facebook or Twitter account. There’s no need to create a separate login, unless you want to. Once you’re in, find your friends, create some boards and have fun repinning other pins or find some of your own on the Web. There are many ways to use Pinterest … the beauty is making it whatever you want it to be.

Word around the classroom is that Musical TV show Glee will be adding a new member to the cast.
The VERY rich Nene Leaks of the Atlanta Housewives series, has landed a reoccurring role on the FOX show.
Leaks will be playing Roz Washington, a synchronized swim coach and rival to cheerleading-coach Sue Sylvester played by Jane Lynch.
Nene took to twitter to reveal the news: “The secret is out! YES I hav a recurring role on GLEE! I’m coach Roz Washington the synchronized swim coach! So honored”
Nene Leaks is known for her loud, tell it like it is persona that has entertained Housewives viewers for years, if she brings all the moxie to the Roz Washington character, I’m sure she will be a hit!
