Lindsay-Price-8What’s wrong with Lindsay Price?  She’s had some bad luck because Eastwick is the 4th show that featured Lindsay Price and was canceled.  Ouch!  We want Lindsay to succeed because she’s Korean of course, but man she’s had some tough luck.  She was previously on the supposed can’t miss “Lipstick Jungle,” but the writer’s strike ended up undermining its potential.  Now that’s bad luck.  To make things worse, her boyfriend from “How I Met Your Mother” just dumped her.  Don’t worry Lindsay – your luck will turn around.  For more on Lindsay’s bad luck, go to NY Magazine.

What’s wrong with Oldboy?
oldboyKorean movie “Oldboy” is a cult classic and a former winner of the Grand Prix prize at the Cannes Film Festival, so it should be an easy success story when Hollywood gets its chance to remake it. Right?! Apparently not. Stephen Spielberg was trying to make and direct this film with Will Smith in the lead role. It doesn’t get heavier than those two Hollywood heavyweights, but negotiations have broken down with the current rights holder (Mandate) and it’s back to a holding pattern. For the full story, go to the LA Times.

So where’s the best resort in South Korea?

lindsay_price2Are you as old as me and remember the movie Witches of Eastwick?  Some of you are saying, what’s that?  Well, it’s a famous novel and movie way before the millennium and starred Jack Nicholson in the movie.  The novel was first published in the mid-80s and was authored by John Updike.   Soonafter it was recreated for the big screen.  Well it’s finally coming to network television and ABC will be serving up another women’s friendship show because it’s already captured the Desperate Housewives demographic.  Lindsay Price who is of Korean descent will be co-starring in this show along with Jaime Ray Newman, Rebecca Romijn and Paul Gross.  She’s coming off her previous TV show, the short lived Lipstick Jungle.  You may not be to familiar with Lindsay Price but she has been in daytime TV soap operas and other network shows.

Lindsay Price has been a staple on network television since her starring role as Janet Sosna on Beverly Hills, 90210. Born to parents of European and Asian decent, she started acting at the age of eight with a guest role on “Finder of Lost Loves.”

In 1991 Price she took on a two-year recurring role on All My Children. She then appeared in The Bold and the Beautiful, from 1995-1997, followed by her role on Beverly Hills, 90210. She also had a string of guest starring roles in several hit series, including CSI, Becker, Jack and Jill, Coupling, Frasier and Pepper Dennis. Price recently stared alongside Brooke Shields and Kim Raver in the NBC series Lipstick Jungle, based on the bestselling book by Candace Bushnell, as Victory Ford, a free-spirited designer in search of Mr. Right.

Film credits include the independent films “Lonely Street” and “Waterbourne,” and she recently completed production on the feature film “Happy Thank You More Please.” A talented singer/songwriter, Price’s song, “Someone Like Me,” played over the last scene in the finale of Lipstick Jungle.

On Eastwick, Lindsay Price plays the character Joanna Frankel. Joanna just wishes she could shut her mouth sometimes, especially as the most inappropriate words spill out at the most inappropriate times. But Darryl tells this uptight, bespectacled reporter that, if she would just look someone straight in the eye, she can give a proper voice to what she wants… and get it. To her shock, it works – namely on her longtime crush, Will. But is it real?

So what’s Eastwick all about?

“Men and women and sex are a big part of the show,” Friedman says of “Eastwick,” which stars Lindsay Price, Jaime Ray Newman, Rebecca Romijn and Paul Gross, and kicks off Sept. 23 at 10 p.m. on ABC. “And there’s always a lot of interest in that.”

The novel — about a coven of divorced women in a seaside Rhode Island village and the wealthy, devilish figure who moves to town and captivates all three of them — has been called both the author’s angriest, most violent novel and “Updike with his shoes off.”

Now these ladies come to you on ABC on Wednesday Night.  Check out Lindsay Price on Eastwick.
