rescue me amaizing ?

"Rescue Me," the Denis Leary-starring show about a New York City firefighter, begins its final season Wednesday night.

Over the years, the show has been praised for its treatment of Sept. 11, for its examination of alcoholism and for the cast's performances. It's also been criticized for all those thingsFinal season starts tonight. Anyone else excited? I have followed this show from the beginning and I am interested to see how it wraps up.As the final chapter of Rescue Me begins, unsparing as ever as it alternates between raunchy dark comedy and lacerating drama, anti-hero firefighter legend Tommy Gavin (Denis Leary) remains a haunted and harried man, beset by ghosts and recurring guilt-mares over the mess he's made of his life.When it comes to their patients, however (victims, in Gavin’s case), there’s nothing they won’t do to prevent death and suffering, including putting their own lives at considerable risk. And it’s in the heat of battle — whether the operating room or a five-alarm blaze — where each man truly shines. At times too in recent years it's seemed less like Leary is playing an NYC firefighter and more like he's playing Denis Leary—a funny enough presence on, say, The Daily Show, but not the character I came to Rescue Me to watch.

Rescue Me” (10 p.m., FX, TV-MA) enters its seventh and final season with Tommy (Denis Leary) anticipating one new bundle of responsibility while putting out the many figurative fires he's set over the years. You won't full appreciate the series if this is the first episode you watch. You will still be able to appreciate the high quality. Previous seasons are on DVD and well worth your time.

ellie goulding singing at the Royal Wedding

In a recent interview to Standard Magazine singer Ellie Goulding talks about her encounter to the royal couple and how they invited her to sing at their wedding. The forces aligned neatly in May for this episode: Osama bin Laden's death had been announced five days earlier; the show started strong with Fred Armisen as bin Laden and later had Jason Sudeikis as Satan, I've had my real rock'n'roll phase and I don't want to go back to it because I wasn't in a good place then.  I didn't realise where I was heading. And I didn't realise I'd end up here.' In 2011 she will take on her first American tour after the American release of Bright Lights and see the release of her collaboration with Tinie Tempah when his single “Wonderman” is released. And that's my dark side, I suppose, and I have to accept it will never fully leave me. The 24-year-old singer was introduced to the couple in May 2010 after her performance at the Radio 1'...

josh hamilton died,,,when he was trying to catch a foul ball

A tragic accident occurred Thursday in Arlington, Texas, where the Texas Rangers were playing the Oakland Athletics, when a 39-year-old fan fell to his death after trying to catch a foul ball thrown by Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton. Oh how things have changed in a single year for LeBron James. It's been 365 days since the infamous "Decision" and I'm not sure that time has heeled this particular wound. Still, in the grand scheme of things, you'd have to say James, the Heat, and the NBA don't regret "the Decision"...ESPN might. In one year, the Heat came within a few games of a championship, James shook off some of his critics (at least through the Eastern Conference Finals), and the NBA Finals received tremendous ratings. night died after Josh Hamilton tossed a foul ball to him in the second inning. Shannon Stone, a Brownwood, Texas, firefighter attending the game with his young son, was along the left field outfield wall and fell throu...
