Have a safe and enjoyable July 4th with your friends and family from THE FIRE WIRE!
Some of them smothered their children with love. Others just smothered them. In honor of Mother’s Day Time.com presents a highly unscientific study of the ten best and worst mothers from the worlds of pop culture.
Check out the list HERE.
Marge Simpson
There are a lot of reasons to love Marge. Her heart is as big as her hair. She’s sweet, simple, unflappable, and like Edith Bunker before her, she uses her goodness as a shield from the crudeness of her husband and the never-ending needs of her kids. Sure, she’s subsumed all of her larger dreams — of becoming an artist, an actress, a professional bowler or anything else for that matter — to tend to home and hearth, but that’s why we have dream sequences.
Wishing family, friends and all the readers of THE FIRE WIRE a very happy, healthy, peaceful and prosperous New Year. Happy 2014!
May your Christmas be filled with lots of happiness, peace and love… ooh and lots of comics, action figures and posters!
Billy Joel will appear in a special live performance from Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn on “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest,” performing one of his classic hits as the first song of the New Year.
Show host Ryan Seacrest will lead the traditional countdown at midnight, and co-host Jenny McCarthy (“The View”) will join him throughout the broadcast, live from Times Square.
Personally, I could care less about Capital Cities, Miley Cyrus, Daughtry, Jason Derulo, Fall Out Boy, Florida Georgia Line, Ariana Grande, Icona Pop, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and Robin Thicke but I will watch the show for Billy Joel and Blondie; I guess I’m old school!
“Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2014,” is a bi-coastal celebration with a West Coast celebration hosted by Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas. Coverage of “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2014,” will feature hours of special performances and reports on New Year’s celebrations from around the globe, beginning at 8:00 PM ET/PT on ABC.
Apple has kept with its annual tradition of airing a seasonal ad featuring Apple devices in holiday settings.
This week, the company aired a 90 second spot set to the tune of “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” which shows a family gathering for the holiday.
I won’t spoil the emotional twist at the end, you can check out the tearjerker below.
The Peanuts gang gathers around their Christmas tree in a scene from the holiday classic A Charlie Brown Christmas. The Charlie Brown Starry Night Christmas Holiday Figure Set ($24.99) is a perfect addition to your holiday decorations, and children will love setting up the festive scene.
These mini-figures of Charles Schulz’s beloved Peanuts characters are dressed in their winter coats and hats, and the Christmas tree is decorated with lights and bulbs.
The set includes Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Snoopy, Pig-Pen, Franklin, Schroeder, Christmas tree with Woodstock and the starry night paper backdrop. The 8 free-standing figures range in size from 2.5″ to 4″.
This is my all-time favorite cheddar cheese in the world and if you have a cheese lover on your Holiday shopping list, surprise them with this delicacy! Who doesn’t love cheese in their stockings?
The first wheel of Flagship, Beecher’s signature cheese, was handcrafted just as Beecher’s Handmade Cheese opened its doors in Seattle’s historic Pike Place Market in November of 2003.
Flagship is a semi-hard cow’s milk cheese with a uniquely robust, nutty flavor. It is carefully aged for 15 months under the watchful eye of the cheesemaker to fully develop its complex flavor and ever-so-slight crumble. Outstanding on a Beecher’s Cracker!
Delivered in two pieces weighing approximately 8 ounces each for $20 + shipping. Order HERE.
