ABC is yet to announce that the 13-episode sixth season of Private Practice will be the show's last, but it's sure beginning to look that way.

One thing I love about movies is how it brings families together. This summer’s sensation The Avengers is even striking a special bond between mothers and teen daughters. Mainly, they only need one Avenger: Thor. Chris Hemsworth doesn’t need CGI to be believable as a Norse god; his abs of steel are the real deal. If the hot factor isn’t enough, the 28-year-old is a brand-new … [Read more...]
