Christian Post Report – Kim Richards is returning to her acting roots as the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star has confirmed that she will be in the latest installment of the “Sharknado” films.

“I’m in management at Universal Orlando, and I meet up with Claudia Shepherd (Ryan Newman) and her friend, Jess, and I make sure that they get their VIP passes so they can get to the front of the line,” she told Hollywood Life.

The “RHOBH” star spoke out after she finished filming all her scenes at Universal Studios theme park in Orlando, Florida last month. The reality star was reportedly excited about the film, but chose to keep mum on whether she’ll get eaten by a shark or not.

“I think I’m gonna wait and let you figure that out,” she revealed. “I will tell you, they gave me an option: do I want to get eaten, or do I not? It’s a hard choice. I made my decision, we made our decision, and I guess you’ll have to wait and see.”

Before becoming a Housewife, Richards was one of the most popular child actresses of the ’70s. She was in 1978’s “Return to Witch Mountain” and several TV shows which include “Nanny and the Professor,” “Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color,” “James at 16,” and “Hello, Larry.” She also had a role in 2009’s “Race to Witch Mountain.”

The “Sharknado” films have a big fan base due to the made-for-TV-movies’ campy nature and celebrity cameos. “Sharknado 3′”will have Tara Reid and Ian Ziering reprising their roles, and they will be joined by David Hasselhoff, who will be playing Ziering’s father. Other stars who will be appearing in the film are “Shark Tank” star Mark Cuban, Ann Coulter, Bo Derek, WWE star Chris Jericho, N Sync member Chris Kirkpatrick.

“Sharknado 3” airs on Syfy on Wednesday, July 22 at 9/8c.

‘Mallrats 2’: Kevin Says Script is Nearing Completion, 5 Original Cast Members Returning

Kevin Smith tweeted this photo of him with Stan Lee, Jason Mewes, and Michael Rooker.

Christian Post Report – Mention the name Kevin Smith, and kids of the ’90s know that he’s the one behind the film “Mallrats,” which developed a strong cult following after it was released on video. The 1995 romantic comedy is the second film in Smith’s View Askewniverse series and the prequel to 1994’s “Clerks,” and now, 20 years later, Smith has confirmed that “Mallrats 2” is in the works.

When asked about rumors of a sequel for “Mallrats,” the director confirmed to radio show Rock 102 Mornings with Shmonty & Carolina that he is working on it and said, “Yeah, that’s what we’re working on.”

“It’s half a script right now, and we’re pulling our loot together. We’ve got until the beginning of 2016. By the time we get to May 2016, we’re going to be shooting,” he explained.

The original film did not make a killing in the box office, as it reportedly grossed only a little more than $2 million back in 1995. But Smith appears to be unconcerned about the sequel suffering the same fate.

“Lately I’ve been doing this thing where I’m like, ‘Do you want to do what’s good for your career, or do you want to have fun?'” he continued. “Nobody’s clamoring for a ‘Mallrats’ sequel, but I would love to make one. It’s been like 20 years.”

Smith first hinted at the “Mallrats” sequel last week on Twitter as he gave an update about the films that he’s working on.

“We shoot CLERKS III in May,” he wrote. “HIT SOMEBODY shoots September to Christmas. Then in February 2016 we do MOOSE JAWS. But after that? I smell a rat…”

Confirmed to return for “Mallrats 2” is Shannen Doherty, who will be reprising her role as Rene Mosier, Michael Rooker, Stan Lee, Jason Mewes and Smith himself as Silent Bob.

On March 24, Smith announced via Twitter that Jason Lee will also be back to reprise his role as Brodie. “Brodie is back! Jason Lee’s going to the mall y’all! 6 more to go!”

It is speculated that the “6” that Smith is referring to are original cast members Claire Forlani, Jeremy London, Joey Lauren Adams, Ethan Suplee, Renee Humphrey, and Ben Affleck.

No release date has been given for “Mallrats 2” as of the moment.

Christian Post Report – Sony Computer Entertainment has announced that they will soon be launching “Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture” for PS4 soon, with a release of a gameplay teaser on YouTube.

Initially unveiled during Gamescom 2013 in Germany, Sony Computer Entertainment and games developer The Chinese Room has released information they are putting the finishing touches to “Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture,” which will be launched for PlayStation 4 in the very near future.

In a teaser trailer recently posted on IGN’s YouTube channel, gamers were treated to a spectacularly rendered rural English village set in an apocalyptic time. Created using CryEngine advanced development, the game will allow players to explore an open-world environment shortly after the occurrence of an apocalyptic event.

Players will experience the game’s backstory via discoverable recording devices like radios, TV’s, and phones, giving players the opportunity to take charge of their own narrative for a unique experience with each gameplay.

The Chinese Room has posted a series of tweets on its social media account informing their followers the game has entered the optimizations stage with all pertinent content in place. According to Dan Pinchbeck, the developer’s creative director, the team working on “Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture” is currently smoothing out the kinks and polishing the game in preparation for its release.

With the world of the game and the scenes locked in place, The Chinese Room is proceeding from the “it works” stage to “it’s a great game” stage, and are at the point of playing the game several times over to ensure all textures and seams are smooth, and which points of the games need to be improved and tightened up.

The choral music and orchestral scores for the first person adventure game are scheduled to be recorded within the month, with sound effects to be added soon after. Pinchbeck hinted at a new A.I. system the team had just installed, but declined to give more details so as not to divulge too much of the game before it is launched.

The large and highly detailed “Everybody’s gone to the Rapture” will begin immersing players into its post-apocalyptic world on PS4 within the year.

The cast of Teen Mom OG

Christian Post Report – The premiere episode of “Teen Mom OG” features Maci Bookout, Farrah Abraham, Catelynn Lowell and Amber Portwood as they face new challenges in their lives. In the episode that aired on March 23, Caitlynn finds out that she’s going to be a mom again, Maci is dealing with her ex, Ryan, and Amber is adjusting to life after prison.

Catelynn and Tyler are frustrated due to the negative things written about them. People are judging them for wanting to have another baby after they gave up their first child for adoption. Catelynn takes a pregnancy test and it’s positive.

“Whelp, you’re going to be a dad!” she exclaims. Tyler is in tears as he says, “I can’t wait to hold it.”

They discuss their future and Tyler tells Catelynn that he wants her to stay home for a few years to take care of the baby. They both tell their parents, and though it goes over better than expected, both sides are now pressuring them to get married.

Meanwhile, Amber is now out of prison and has just moved into her new house. Amber goes over to Gary’s house to pick up their daughter Leah, and Amber tells Gary that it’s nice to not have to fight with him all the time. Though she knows that they’re not getting back together, she still wants to make their new relationship work.

Amber bonds with her mom and her cousin at a spa, but what should have been a relaxing experience turns nasty when Amber’s mom calls Gary evil.

“Mom quit talking like that,” Amber says. “You don’t say somebody’s evil. He is the father of my child, and he’s taken care of my child in the past when I was put away.”

Her mother, Tonya, walks out of the spa, shouting as she goes. Later, Amber tells her cousin that what her mother did had a very negative effect on her.

“I thought about getting high after everything so much more,” said Amber. “I was feeling like, ‘Oh my God, I could handle this if I was clocked out.’ I need to see my daughter because I’m not feeling well.”

Maci is doing well — she’s in her final year of college working toward her mass communications degree, and her boyfriend Taylor has just moved in with her.

However, things are not going so well with her ex, Ryan, as she wants him to take a more active role in their son Bentley’s life. She tries to call him but he tells her he’s busy and hangs up on her. Frustrated, Maci turns to Ryan’s parents for advice, and his mother tells Maci that perhaps she should try to email him. This frustrates Maci, but she sees that she has no other choice but to do so.

“Teen Mom OG” airs on Mondays at 10/9c on MTV.

The official season 3 poster of Vikings

Christian Post Report – The highly anticipated Raid of Paris plotline is now drawing closer than ever as spoiler reports for the upcoming segment of the hit historical drama TV series “Vikings” Season 3 indicates that Ragnar (Travis Fimmel) will be setting aside some issues in his homeland to make plans for the siege.

Avid followers of the show may remember the Northman King refusing indirectly the plea of Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick) that he should help her re-claim Hedeby. They did arrive at Lagertha’s earldom but the wandering conqueror spoke privately with Kalf (Ben Robson) to offer him the chance of fighting along with him in the great raid of Paris.

This upset Lagertha, who will still insist that they should at first deal with the matters at hand. Kalf, on the other hand, remains adamant with the newly usurped position.

Speaking to Access Hollywood, Robson shared his views about his character.

“I think it’s the first step of recognition,” Ben said. “I mean, I think for the Vikings, it’s to be recognized by the gods, to be fighting by Odin’s side in the war of the gods in Valhalla.”

The drive for fame is really strong within Kalf’s mind. In fact, his desire is to actually surpass the new King of Denmark.

“I think if you’ve got Ragnar who has achieved so much for the Vikings, if he’s being recognized — and I think Kalf wants to be recognized more than Ragnar — [Kalf] has to surpass whatever Ragnar has achieved, and I think in terms of his fame, it’s – from a farmer to a king, that’s an incredible degree of success, so if he can achieve anything like that, it’s a monumental task,” he went on to explain.

“Vikings” will air this week with episode titled “Born Again” on History Channel. Check out the recently released teaser below:

FOX’s “The Mindy Project”

Christian Post Report – The third season of the hit romantic comedy TV series “The Mindy Project” has just recently ended with what E! Online called an “incredibly crafted” finale episode.

Fans saw how Daniel (Chris Messina) proved to Dr. Mindy (Mindy Kaling) that she is really the one by flying over to India.

Now that it’s officially over, followers of the show were wondering what comes next for Mindy and the rest of the Shulman & Associates. Here’s what we heard:

Prior to the airing of the concluding segment, Kaling spoke to Entertainment Weekly to dish out her thoughts about the show.

“I just don’t think this is the end for (the cast),” the 35-year-old actress told EW’s Jessica Shaw and Melissa Maerz. “I feel me and the writers have so many stories to tell, and I just have a good feeling that it’s going to come back.”

And one of those stories would definitely be about Mindy and Danny as parents.

“Danny as a father is really something to think about writing—I love that. And Mindy on maternity leave, Mindy on the playground with other moms. There’s so many things! And I feel like the way we see it portrayed on TV—to have it be funny and not have it be tragic—I’m really excited.”

She also commended her co-star Messina, saying that he was worthy of an Emmy.

“It’s a really romantic episode, and Chris Messina is so good in it,” she said. “This is the one I would submit for an Emmy for him because I think he doesn’t get thought about for those kinds of things but he just so deserves it.”

E! Online meanwhile cited their sources saying that with the “critical praise” and the “sincere love” shown towards “The Mindy Project,” there’s a high possibility that Fox would keep it “afloat once more.”

However the decision about the show’s future still remains in the hands of the network.

“Mindy is expected to get picked up somewhere. The show is produced by NBC Universal, so if Fox passes and does not pick it up for a fourth season, the studio has the right to pitch it anywhere. A likely new home could be Hulu, which is also owned by NBC Universal,” the site revealed.

Super Troopers 2

Christian Post Report – For those fans eagerly wishing for the “Super Troopers” to return in the big screen, they can now start counting the days as the recent crowdfunding update for the anticipated sequel indicates that it has already surpassed the initial $2 million goal.

A report from Variety said that as of 5 p.m. PDT yesterday, Broken Lizard, the house behind the hit comedy movie, has already taken in $2.14 million in their Indiegogo campaign.

This will now assure for the second instalment to go into production, which was originally planned to go this summer, and will premiere on theatres probably in early 2016.

The script is already “written and we’re getting all antsy in our pantsy to start shooting,” according to their IndieGogo page.

“Super Troopers 2” will once again see the five Troopers featured in the original 2001 crime-comedy: Jay Chandrasekhar will appear as Trooper Arcot Ramathorn, Paul Soter as Trooper Jeff Foster, Steve Lemme as Trooper Mac Womack, Ertik Stolhankse as Trooper “Rabbit” Roto, and Kevin Heffernan as Farva.

20th Century Fox has agreed to distribute the film.

The “Super Troopers 2” campaign, which was set for a 30-day duration, is touted to break the current $5.7 million crowdfunding record for a film holder “Veronica Mars,” which was done on Kickstarter.

Perks offered in the campaign includes access to annotated script, ownership and rights to one of the troopers patrol cars, the chance for a town to be named in the film, getting a producer credit, hanging out with the guys and many more.

Pray about It

You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask.
— James 4:2

  • Greg Laurie
    (Photo: rever Hoehne for Harvest Ministries)
    Greg Laurie, senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California and Harvest Orange County in Irvine, California, shares the Gospel with a sold-out crowd of 19,000 for Harvest America at the American Airlines Center and Victory Park in Dallas, Texas, Oct. 5, 2014.

Christian Post Report – Have you ever stopped and thought that maybe there are things in your life that haven’t happened because you have simply failed to ask God for them?

Maybe you are ill right now and have never actually prayed about it. Maybe you’ve never said something like, “You know, Lord, I have never asked You to heal me. Maybe I thought that if You wanted to heal me, You would just go ahead and do it. But I’m asking You to heal me.” It just may be that you do not have because you do not ask.

Maybe you have a financial need and have exhausted every resource to meet it. Has it dawned on you that you could actually pray about it? The Bible says, “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). Perhaps you do not have because you do not ask.

Maybe your marriage is starting to unravel, and you don’t know what to do. You have tried everything. You have talked to everyone. But have you actually prayed about your marriage and asked God to intervene? It might be that you do not have because you do not ask.

We should pray because prayer is God’s appointed way for us to obtain things from Him. That is not the only purpose of prayer, but to fail to see this is to miss a lot. The Bible is very clear in pointing out that we “do not have because [we] do not ask” (James 4:2).

That doesn’t mean that God always will answer our prayers the way we pray them. But it does mean that many times He will. So when you have a need, the first thing you ought to do is to pray about it.

It’s update includes a faster speed for achievement notifications, with a shorter hover time on the screen after notifications appear. Users accessing the achievements app will also notice faster access if they launch it from a notification.

The console’s game hubs feature will also be linked to the achievements apps in users’ feed, making it easier for players to access achievements, screenshots, and video clips.

The first wave of new features for the system update will be made available at the beginning of April to improve Xbox One experience

A successor to the Xbox 360, the Xbox One video game console was released to mixed reviews in November 2013, with a total of one million consoles sold within the first 24 hours of its public release, making it one of Microsoft’s best-selling game console for 2014.

Church of England to Consecrate Its Second Female Bishop in July

Woman clergy take photographs of the first female bishop in the Church of England Libby Lane following her consecration service at York Minster in York, northern England, January 26, 2015.

Christian Post Report – The Church of England has announced that the Rev. Canon Alison White will be consecrated as its second female bishop since the Church voted last year to allow women to become bishops.

The announcement was made just hours before the BBC reported that Rachel Treweek, the archdeacon of Hackney in the diocese of London, will become the new Bishop of Gloucester.

“Two women bishops have already been appointed, but Archdeacon Treweek, 52, is the first woman to run a diocese and will be one rank below archbishop,” the BBC reported Thursday. ” It is understood she will also become the first female bishop to enter the House of Lords.”

White, a 58-year-old who was ordained a priest in 1994, will be made the bishop of Hull in a ceremony scheduled for July 3.

The Rt. Rev. Martin Wharton, the recently retired bishop of Newcastle, the diocese where Rev. White presently serves as priest-in-charge, said in a statement that he’s “thrilled” by the news.

“I am thrilled that Alison’s priestly and personal gifts have been recognized by the wider church and believe she will be an outstanding bishop who will quickly endear herself to the people of Hull and the East Riding,” stated Wharton.

“As the second woman to be appointed bishop in the Church of England, we rejoice with her and pray for her.”

Members of the clergy enter York Minster before a service to consecrate Reverend Libby Lane as the first female bishop in the Church of England, in York, northern England, January 26, 2015.

Last July, the Church of England voted overwhelmingly to allow for women to be consecrated as bishops, a move that got mostly positive feedback from the global Anglican Communion.

“The challenge for us will be for the Church to model good disagreement and to continue to demonstrate love for those who disagree on theological grounds,” stated Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev. Justin Welby.

“Very few institutions achieve this, but if we manage this we will be living out more fully the call of Jesus Christ to love one another. As delighted as I am for the outcome of this vote, I am also mindful of those within the Church for whom the result will be difficult and a cause of sorrow.”

Last December, the Church announced that the Rev. Libby Lane would become the first female bishop, being consecrated as head of the Diocese of Chester.

A 48-year-old mother of two, Lane was consecrated in January as bishop, enduring the presence of one heckler during the ceremony who shouted “not in the Bible.”

This is not the first time that White has been part of a wave of change within the Church of England, according to Episcopal News Service.

“She was ordained to the diaconate in 1986 and to the priesthood in 1994, being among the first women to be ordained as priests in the Church of England,” reported ENS.
