As a sequel to the popular 2003 Peppermint Pops, we again bring back Tri-Staters who are enjoying highly successful careers on Broadway, television and the concert stage.

Check out the official the site for Gina Torres new movie Jam which is an ensemble feature film that unfolds during a sweltering Father's Day on a two-lane rural highway. Eighteen diverse travelers' lives collide after a car crash that leaves them stranded. With nowhere to go, the characters of JAM emerge from their cars and become travel companions to those whom they would normally never meet. These characters are a cross-section of contemporary America whose everyday problems and dilemmas are exacerbated by the stifling heat of the day and the frustration of their situation. What transpires becomes a life-changing experience for them all.

Buy your own Browncoat

Because she knows that we fans are desperate to own original pieces of our heroes' costumes - and because as she admits, her kids would like to go to college - Firefly costume designer Shawna Trpcic has decided to auction off some of the items left over from the show’s run.

So she’s set up an auction site to sell various items including, most excitingly, Mal’s trademark brown coat and one of Inara’s dresses. There are plenty of goodies to be found on her site, but you can expect the bidding to be fierce and the final prices to be high. These are original pieces, not replicas, and were actually worn by the likes of Nathan Fillion on the set.

You can reach Shawna’s auction site HERE

Cast of Serenity To Gather at Convention for Fans and For Charity

Three years ago, the television show Firefly debuted on the Fox Network. Created by Joss Whedon, who was also behind the hit series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, the show was a bit of a departure from the status quo for Whedon. There were no vampires, no demons...except for mankind itself. Set in the future, Firefly dealt with the crew of the ship Serenity and its passengers. Part sci-fi, part western, the series was totally unique on the television schedule. And even though the show had great writing and a talented cast, Fox decided to cancel the show after only 13 episodes.(more)

Catch Adam Baldwin in The Posiedon Adventure tonight at 8pm on NBC. Adam reprises the role of Mike Rogo previously played by Ernest Borgnine in the 1972 original.

As the luxury liner Poseidon slices through the waters of an ocean storm, the greatest danger is already on board—a terrorist with an explosive message for the world. Detonated on New Year’s Eve, the blast capsizes the ship leaving a motley few—the madman among them—struggling for survival in an upside-down hell of life-and-death drama.
