Melissa Gilbert, Rob Lowe, John Cusack love triangle

Little House will never seem the same again… Little Laura Ingalls (Melissa Gilbert) was dating Rob Lowe in the eighties and stepped out on him with his best friend, John Cusack!

That just about sums up the eighties! The only thing missing is Molly Ringwald, preferably wearing pink, and a Talking Heads soundtrack.

Who´d have thunk that sweet innocent Laura, I mean Melissa, Gilbert would have so much scandalous ammo to put in her memoir, Prairie Tale: A Memoir ?

She seems a bit young for memoirs, but what a great opportunity to have! Back in the eighties both Lowe and Cusack were very hot properties, Lowe started in such classics as St. Elmo’s Fire, About Last Night and Class, and Cusack in The Sure Thing and Sixteen Candles.

According to Celebitchy, and Prairie Tale: A Memoir, when Lowe went off filming The Hotel New Hampshire, he asked Cusack to “look after” his girlfriend Melissa. Famous last words!

Apparently, on the New Hampshire set Rob embarked on a fling with Nastassia Kinski and Melissa struck back by sleeping with Cusack. Wow. Papa Ingalls would never have approved of that.

Rob Lowe Brothers & Sisters

Kitty and Robert have to decide whether they are going to work at their marriage or call it quits. Joe is getting remarried and Sarah is taking it hard. Justin gets news from med school and shares the news with Rebecca. Nora reaches out to Robert to find Tommy.

Is it me or is Rob Lowe a lot hotter when he´s kinda mean and angry? It´s quite a turn on…
Makes Alec look like a dweeb. Justin and Rebecca getting back in the sack was predictable. Justin is getting creepier and creepier… I love that place where Tommy is hiding out! Anybody know where that is? Nora dressing up like an explorer from the 19th century, hat and all, was a bit over the top though.

The marriage proposal actually made me mist up. In a good way. I´m not a Justin and Rebecca fan, and getting married seconds after getting together for the umpteeth time seems like a divorce waiting to happen, but yes, it scored very high on my romance-o-meter. Shucks….

Rob Lowe

Brothers and Sisters star, and eighties heartthrob, Rob Lowe has been embroiled with his former nanny Laura Boyce for quite a while now, since 2008 to be exact. The nanny was employed by Lowe and his wife Sheryl in 2007. After Boyce was fired she spread all kinds of stories about her former employers. The Lowes sued because the nanny had signed a confidentiality agreement, which she broke when she told tales about how Lowe´s wife allegedly prances around the house naked.

Boyce claimed freedom of speech and countersued Sheryl for sexual harrassment, but these charges were thrown out by a judge.

Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy in Class

Ok, I officially feel a thousand years old. I can still remember when Andrew McCarthy was hot, and now he´s playing someone´s grandpa. Ouch.

Whatever happened to the bratpack?

I even read the book, Looking for Andrew McCarthy, where a thirtysomething does just that. But, whereas most people remember him from Pretty in Pink, where he was actually a bit of a jerk, my favorite McA flick would have to be Class.  He´s a geeky kid from the wrong side of the tracks and gets hunky popular studmuffin Rob Lowe as a roommate. And sleeps with his mom. Jacqueline Bisset. Who was also still hot back then. God, I miss the bratpack! Why did they have to grow up to be old (McA), fat (Judd Nelson) awol (Emilio Estevez) or wear way more eyeliner than any guy really should (Rob Lowe)?

Brothers & Sisters Family Legacy

Family Legacy Episode Recap

Leaks all around! Another family dinner and a lot of hoopla. Kitty and Robert are still bickering about his running for office, Justin and Rebecca are on the outs, and Rebecca brings home a big surprise for Holly.
Meantime, the siblings are slowly on to Tommy´s dealings at Ojai.

Kitty is of course upstaging the birth mom. And looks terrible btw.
Holly was looking darned good! And I thought she was going to tell Julia about his affair.

Darn, I was waaay off base!
It´s a bit of a shame. Robert was way too obvious. Scotty would have been much more interesting. But how cute were Kevin and Scotty? Guess I´m glad he´s still alive.

The Brothers and Sisters Cast

As an episode, Lost and found was pretty ok. Kitty talks about her marital problems to Time magazine and later finds out someone (guess who) has killed the story. Nora goes up to Berkely to visit Ryan and answer some of his questions. Rebecca goes to New York to find her real dad, David. Holly gets suspicious of the business deal with the new vineyard.

I like Ryan, especially since he could still turn out evil. Nora grovelled a bit too much: it´s hardly her fault her hubby couldn´t stop chasing skirt. Though she might´ve divorced him, but that wouldn´t miraculously have meant that William and Ryan´s mom would have lived happily ever after. Actually, the guy who raised Ryan looked like a decent guy, so he can count himself lucky! And he may get a chunk of the Walker pie.

Kitty should totally dump Robert. He´s no good and he never will be and she will be raising that kid on her own. Maybe they can make a deal, where she holds off on divorcing him til she has legally adopted and he can run for governor? I don´t think they´ll give that baby to a woman going through a divorce. Though Cuddy in House got one, no sweat, and she´s a single mom. Anyway, Holly found out about Tommy´s scam. How stupid is this guy that everyone with half a brain can figure out he´s trying to pull a not-so-fast one? And using the same trick his old dad used? Get some new material man! And how did he get his hands on that pension fund?

Kitty & Robert

Kitty is on tour with her book about her family but nobody seems particularily interested. Also she starts to suspect that Robert is keeping a big secret; Sarah has some serious financial issues that could kill her start up Greenatopia before it’s even started. Tommy tries to find allies to push Holly out of the family business and finds help in an unsuspected place.

Quite an interesting episode. How well do we know, or trust, the people we’re married to? Well, not all that well apparently. I must say, I never thought Robert and Kitty very convincing as a couple. Having sex on a desk does not a marriage make. It takes shared jokes, a whole lot of screaming and yes, sharing all your (most embarrassing) secrets! Robert running for governor without telling his wife, while on the verge of adopting a child is just plain WRONG. And spells doom in my book.

Funny quote:

Saul: Why are you so obsessed with my social life?
Nora: Not obsessed. You’re my favorite brother.
Saul: Only brother.
Nora: In this family, you never know.

Liked it! Lot of different, possibly explosive story lines! Robert, obviously, keeping stuff from Kitty, none of the siblings showing up for her book reading (So where was Tommy? Jerk!)
And speaking of Tommy the Jerk: guess he’ll be on his way to prison soon. I really don’t like him (as if that wasn’t obvious) maybe he’ll get killed in a riot? Poor Rebecca, trying to do a good job and then getting screwed by her sort-of bro. I actually thought they were all right to let Sarah take out a second mortgage to make up for the money: why on earth should Kitty run the risk? And get yelled at for her pains? I thought Kitty got a raw deal this ep, deceitful hubby, unsupportive siblings, yelled at by sis, lied to by brother Kevin… Poor las. She was wearing a great coat though and that handbag!!!

Robert and Kitty

Kitty’s acting so incredibly neurotic that she might spook the birthmom, Justin says ‘I love you’ to Rebecca and she just says ‘thanks’ (ouch!) and Kevin starts working for his brother in law the senator and has a lot of trouble adjusting. Tommy and Julia spend their anniversary with the entire Walker clan at Magic Manor.

Whaat? ‘The magic of Tommy and Julia’? They both cheated! Like, last Wednesday! Where’s the magic in that? And who on earth celebrates their wedding aaniversary with a herd of overbearing siblings and a meddling mom? Poor, poor Julia ends up being a prop at her own party.

Kitty went in full blown Ally McBeal-mode this episode. Reminded me why I stopped watching. The endless banter, the nervous facial expressions. Poor Robert! The birth mom turned out to be a well educated, self assured, black doctor, not your usual down on her luck trashy teen. How could they not have known that?!

Justin totally freaked Rebecca out by just showing up in her bathroom and standing there. Yikes. That would have freaked me out SO BAD! There’s horror movies based on less than that. And why the hell did she put on her huge towel while still under the shower???!!! Who does that?

Still, liked the episode. Sarah and her geeky new colleagues sitting around, Kitty and George baking cup cakes together, and I do believe senator McAllister is getting cuter all the time.

Good quote:
Robert to Kitty: “If you’re not ready to have your heart broken, you’re not ready to be a parent”

Here’s the link! It actually works! (or at least it did this morning

Brothers and Sisters Cast

I like B&S, in part for the clever writing and the great acting, but also because they’re old and still looking good. Calista Flockheart annoyed me in Ally McBeal and she’s still annoying. That whole flakey, trying to find myself stuff is getting very old, as she already did that as Ally. For what felt like decades. Every time she’s on the screen in B&S I hear Vonda Shepard – now there’s a blast from the past, whatever happened to Vonda?  On second thoughts, who cares? – singing some sad song about letting go. Yugh.

Anyway, liked the episode, bit much Ojai business, don’t really care, but Nora and Kevin had good story lines. I love Kevin, Matthew Rhys, love the way he’s developed over the years, I like that they portray a more or less realistic gay couple.
The whole Rebecca/Justin thing still has me creeped out though. Even if she’s not actually his sister, she was for a bit and yikes.

And for all you Sidereelers out there, here’s the link to watch online. Takes forever, but hey, it’s free.
