Rant ‘N Rave: Angelina Jolie Vs. Octomom
I tried my darn hardest to avoid ranting (impossible to rave) about the world\’s most famous mother to 14 biological children.

Friends Shawn Colfax, played by Nicholas D\’Agosto (Heroes, The Office) and Nick Brady (Eric Christian Olsen) are High School football players and best friends who score both on the field and with the ladies — no joke, they seem to get every girl at Gerald R. Ford High school. Continue reading
