Blue Bloods Gives Marisa Ramirez A Boost To Series Regular
4 June 2013 5:35 AM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
Blue Bloods fans will be seeing plenty more of Danny’s newest partner, Detective Maria Baez, because actress Marisa Ramirez has been officially boosted into series regular status.
Danny is of course brought to life by Donnie Wahlberg in the CBS series. Not so long ago, his partner was Detective Jackie Curatola, acted by the beautiful Jennifer Esposito. This, my friends, is the bitter side of what is very sweet news for Ramirez.
I’m a big fan of Esposito, who has had a tumultuous few years, which led up to her finally getting diagnosed with Coeliac disease. Many can argue that the network treated the actress unfairly when they booted her from the series due to an illness that is beyond her control. There are two sides to every dispute however. The actress scolded CBS publicly for what she called “shameful” behavior.
I was hoping the break from Blue Bloods, »

Marisa Ramirez Joins ‘Blue Bloods’ As New Partner For Danny
4 March 2013 12:14 PM, PST | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
Blue Bloods has found a new temporary partner for Detective Danny Reagan (Donnie Wahlberg). Marisa Ramirez (Against The Wall) has been cast for a five-episode arc playing Detective Maria Baez, who will be paired with Danny. The recurring gig comes with the possibility for Ramirez to continue as a regular next season. Ramirez’s first episode on Blue Bloods airs this Friday, and word of her casting started getting out as the network began to release images from the episode. Ramirez plays the third temporary partner for Danny this season, following a four-episode stint by Megan Ketch and a three-episode one by Megan Boone. They are filling the void left by the departure of series regular Jennifer Esposito who was put on an indefinite medical leave by Blue Bloods producer CBS TV Studios last fall and is unlikely to return to the show. Ramirez also recurs on ABC’s Body Of Proof this season. »

'Blue Bloods' Amy Carlson 'never aware of' Donnie Wahlberg's New Kids on the Block past
24 January 2013 10:14 AM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Amy Carlson thinks that some days on the "Blue Bloods" set, she might as well be Donnie Wahlberg's wife for real.
As Linda Reagan, the spouse of streetwise and often edgy New York police-family member Danny, the actress often has to display as strong a will as the actor she works with most closely on the Friday CBS drama. And, she notes, that's not always limited to the moments when the cameras are rolling.
"He's fun to work with," Carlson tells Zap2it. "I don't know if it's because he comes from Boston and I come from Chicago. We both come from working-class families, so there's just something familiar there. When we met, we just clicked. We were those characters immediately.
"It's funny, though," adds Carlson, who counts "Third Watch" and daytime's "Another World" among her earlier television credits. "Sometimes if we're fighting in a scene, we don't get »

Bradley Cooper has a hot Oscar date ... with his mom
12 January 2013 1:27 PM, PST | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
Bradley Cooper is arguably the most eligible bachelor to be nominated for a Best Actor Oscar this year (and when the only other choice is Joaquin Phoenix, there's not much argument, really). So the logical question emerges: Who will be his date to the big event?
Turns out the "Silver Linings Playbook" star and one-time Sexiest Man Alive has only one woman in mind: His mother.
"When I started the profession, [my mom said] 'If you ever [get nominated] I am the date,'" Cooper told E! News on the red carpet of the Critics' Choice Movie Awards. "That was done."
"She was freaking out," Cooper said of the reaction his mother, Gloria, had to the Oscar nomination.
Until recently, Cooper was reportedly dating his "The Words" co-star Zoe Saldana. He was previously married to actress Jennifer Esposito and romantically linked to actress Renee Zellweger.
Cooper admits he was up bright and early to watch the nomination announcement on television. »

CBS’ Nina Tassler: TV Violence Conversation Shouldn’t “Devolve Into Discussion Of One Show Vs. The Other” – TCA
12 January 2013 11:10 AM, PST | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
Violence on TV has been a major topic during the current TCA press tour, and along with references to the recent massacres in Aurora and Newtown, the discussion frequently included CBS‘ dark and violent serial killer procedural Criminal Minds, which was singled out for its violent content by several network executives, ncluding NBC’s Bob Greenblatt. “Look, that’s a much-maligned show,” CBS Entertainment president Nina Tassler acknowledged after the TCA executive session. “I happen to enjoy the show. It’s not for everybody. It’s an adult show. It’s a suspense thriller and a character crime procedural. I don’t let my kid watch it. I do. It’s a genre show and it’s done very well.” Tassler warned that pointing the finger at individual shows with violent content is not the answer. “I think we’re making a huge mistake here — and I’d say it »
