Former Sister, Sister star Tamera Mowry-Housley hopes to share her brand of hip conservatism on new daytime talk show, The Real. The new mother will be one of five co-hosts featured on show which is set to air on local FOX channels next month.
Mowry-Housley said on the show's trailer "I love old school ways, I love to be traditional and just because you're conservative or you're a traditional person doesn't mean doesn't mean you have to be boring."
The show's format appears to be similar to the The Talk and The View which features a panel of celebrity women who talk about all kinds of topics. But The Real features a more youthful and ethnically diverse cast. Fellow hosts include E!'s Jeannie Mai, 33, former Cheetah Girl Adrienne Bailon, 29, reality star Tamar Braxton, 36, and comedienne Loni Love, 41. According to Love, the show will "talk gossip, relationships, sex [and] food."
On the show's trailer, Mowry-Housley talked about dating Seth MacFarlane and being in an interracial relationship. But the Christian actress hinted that she will also be weighing in on marriage and family.
"I love being [a] wife, I love being married and it's OK to say that," Mowry-Housley gushed. The 34-year-old is married to FOX News Correspondent Adam Housley. They also have an infant son named Aden together. "I'm a new mom. Right now I'm adjusting to that new lifestyle but man, I love being a mom as well," she said.
The show will air in FOX largest markets which include New York; Los Angeles; Washington, D.C.; Philadelphia; Phoenix; Houston; and Tampa starting July 15th according to News One. FULL POST

Zach Galifianakis, known for his comedic hijinks, made a mature entrance to the Hangover III movie premiere Monday. The 43-year-old actor entered the premiere with a homeless laundry worker on his arm according to reports from the Daily Mail and Time Magazine's Newsfeed.
Both publications state that Galifianakis, who was raised Greek Orthodox, befriended 87-year-old Elizabeth “Mimi” Haist in 1994. It is unclear whether Haist was homeless when Galifianakis initially met the local laundromat volunteer. However both publications report that Haist was living off of patrons' tips.
When Galifianakis found out that Haist was homeless two years ago, he found her an apartment and began taking her to his movie premieres such as The Campaign and The Hangover 2. Galifianakis pays for her rent and utilities. He also enlisted actress Renee Zellweger to furnish her apartment.
The actor's actions are extraordinary and Christ-like. Jesus said in Matthew 25:45 "He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’"
Galifianakis grew up in a working class Greek family. The comic told the ThatOtherPaper.com in 2007 that he was baptized in the Greek Orthodox church as a child but said he and his siblings “made a complete mockery of it.”
He also told the Austin paper that conservative groups have hijacked the teaching of Jesus Christ. He said of Jesus’ teachings “I think if Jesus were to come back he would more likely hang out with low-lifes and perhaps be in a really bad cover band, but do his good work.”

The Hollywood Reporter reported that the controversial show, and others in NBC's Tuesday night line up, tanked because low viewership, not a lack of sponsors.
Justin Bartha, who played "David" one half of the LA gay couple The New Normal revolves around, told the Huffington Post, "It's kind of bittersweet... Well, I wouldn't call it bittersweet, but I have mixed feelings because I do think that I wasn't necessarily expecting it to get picked up, but I do think that we accomplished quite a bit in one season."
The show took on the Boy Scouts of America, politically incorrect Christian conservative character Nana Jane Forrester and California's marriage amendment in the final episode. Yes, that's right, the show ended with characters David and Bryan's wedding; a fictional Catholic priest married them on the beach. FULL POST

After Washington Wizards basketball player Jason Collins announced he was gay in Sports Illustrated magazine, the developing news story took an unusual turn. ESPN anaylst Chris Broussard was asked his opinion:
"Now Chris, he mentioned in his article, Jason, that he's a Christian as well. So what's your take on that?
Chris Broussard's response:
“Personally I don’t believe that you can live an openly homosexual lifestyle or an openly premarital sex between heterosexuals,” Broussard said. ”If you’re openly living that type of lifestyle, the Bible says you know them by their fruits, it says that’s a sin. If you’re openly living in unrepentant sin, whatever it may be, not just homosexuality, adultery, fornication, premarital sex between heterosexuals, whatever it may be. I think that’s walking in open rebellion to God and to Jesus Christ. I would not characterize that person as a Christian because I don’t think the Bible would characterize them as a Christian.”
Could NFL team owners and coaches fear that Tim Tebow would make a similar comment? Sports commentator Bruce Hooley tweeted about this possibility. FULL POST
