It really is happening, people. We really will learn what those final four words were. Netflix has confirmed that it has finalized a deal with Warner Bros., creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and executive producer Daniel Palladino to bring back Gilmore Girls for a special limited series event. No original cast members have signed on the dotted line just yet, but sources tell TV Line that key players Lauren Graham, Alexis Bledel, Kelly Bishop and Scott Patterson are almost assuredly on board. The revival will reportedly consist of four 90-minute episodes/mini-movies/whatever-you-want-to-call-them-but-the-point-is-that-Gilmore-Girls-is-on-the-way-back. Over the summer, Sherman-Palladino certainly sounded open to an arrangement such as this at the ATX TV Festival. “It would have to be the right everything – the right format, the right timing,” she said. “If it ever happened, I promise we’ll do it correctly. We believe you, Amy. And we can’t believe we’re going to get the chance to find out for real! Gilmore Girls premiered on The WB network in 2000, before transferring to The CW in 2006 for its final season.

Oscar Pistorius Released From Prison; Olympian Served Less Than One Year For Murder of Reeva Steenkamp

Posted on October 19, 2015 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

In October of 2014, Oscar Pistorius was sentenced to five years in prison after being found guilty of shooting and killing his 29-year-old model girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. Today, less than one year later, Pistorius is a free man, having been secretively released from prison late last night in order to avoid media attention. Pistorius will now serve a four-year house arrest sentence at his uncle’s palatial mansion in Johannesburg. Pistorius was originally slated to be released in August, but angry letters from hundreds of outraged South Africans – including Steenkamp’s grieving parents – persuaded the nation’s justice minister to hold him for another two months. “We have forgiven Mr. Pistorius, read the letter from Steenkamp’s parents. “However, a person found guilty of a crime must be accountable for their actions. Incarceration of 10 months for taking a life is simply not enough.” A lawyer for the family says the Steenkamps are still angry, and still believe that justice was not served. Pistorius was found guilty of culpable homicide , which is comparable to manslaughter in the US justice system. The sprinter – nicknamed “Blade Runner” by fans – earned international fame after becoming the first double-amputee to participate in the Olympics. Many believe Pistorius received preferential treatment from the South African justice system.

Reeva Steenkamp Family: Oscar Pistorius Verdict is NOT Justice!

Posted on September 12, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The family of Reeva Steenkamp is speaking out following the verdict in the Oscar Pistorius case after the athlete was found guilty of culpable homicide Friday. Their verdict: Justice was NOT served. Remembering Reeva Steenkamp 1. Reeva Steenkamp, Oscar Pistorius Picture Oscar Pistorius and girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. By now you know how this relationship tragically, devastatingly ended. “This verdict is not justice for Reeva,” her mother, June Steenkamp, told NBC News in an interview. “I just want the truth… She died a horrible death.” “[It was] a horrible, painful, terrible death, and she suffered, you know? And he shot through the door and I can’t believe that they believe that it was an accident.” Her father, Barry Steenkamp, added, “it wasn’t just disbelief on our minds. I think it was disbelief on everyone’s, on most people who have been following the case.” “I just don’t feel that this is the right sentence, you know?” June Steenkamp added. “They believe his story, and I don’t believe that story. That’s the difference.” Pistorius was found not guilty of murder , the most serious offense he could have been charged with, as the judge felt the evidence did not support it. Oscar Pistorius Guilty of Culpable Homicide When NBC pressed the Steenkamps about what they think the sentence should be, June Steenkamp dismissed the question, saying they had no interest. “I really don’t care what happens to Oscar,” she said. “It’s not going to change anything because my daughter is never coming back. He’s still living and breathing you know, and she’s gone forever.” Pistorius’s conviction for culpable homicide, the equivalent of manslaughter, could still land him in prison for as many as 15 years … or no years. As with his trial, it’s the judge’s decision alone – South Africa has no jury trials – and he could be sent away for a long time, or fined or given house arrest or both. The sentencing will happen October 13. Oscar Pistorius: The Fallen Blade Runner 1. Oscar Pistorius in Court Oscar Pistorius in court, February 2013.
