Dan Bucatinsky moves from ‘Scandal’ to laughs on ‘The Beauty and the Baker’

CHICAGO (WLS) — Dan Bucatinsky may be best known for his role on “Scandal,” but he’s all for taking in the laughs on “The Beauty and the Baker,” a new series that just debuted on ABC.

Bucatinsky plays Lewis, manager of the “beauty” fashion mogul who can’t resist a “baker.”

“He meets a character, Noa Hamilton, who for all intents and purposes could be J. Lo, Gwyneth, a huge superstar and therein begins a very unlikely romance,” Bucatinsky explained.

The show is about what happens when family meets fame

“Lewis has known Noa since she was a little girl,” Bucatinsky said of his character, “and there is an aspect of Lewis that is not just family, but also tenaciously protective of everything that Noa is.”

The story is set in Miami, which is played by Puerto Rico, where the show is being shot.

“We, as a mostly Latin cast and all of us Spanish-speaking, are really enjoying being in San Juan and working with a Puerto Rican crew that is amazing, and feeling the warmth of the people that really helps flavor the way we’re making the show,” he said.

The actor played reporter James Novak, married to political scoundrel Cyrus Beane, on “Scandal” and won an Emmy for the role.

“It was a really life changing experience, but more than anything I loved being able to play someone as close to who I am, although my husband’s never tried to kill me… that I know of,” Bucatinsky said of his time on that show.

“I loved being with a cast that to this day remains incredibly close with me,” he added. “I feel that way about the ‘Baker and the Beauty’ cast as well.”

Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers

NewsColony Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers © The Independent Singapore Singapore — A group of volunteers from the Mummy Yummy Singapore welfare organisation donated their SingapoRediscovers Vouchers to book a hotel room for a homeless man. The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat. In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...

Disabled people are still vulnerable, even as COVID-19 normalizes their ‘special’ needs

Disabled people are still vulnerable, even as COVID-19 normalizes their ‘special’ needs NewsColony Perhaps it’s appropriate that public notices of the COVID-19 crisis began as an ableist cruelty. Health officials assured the nation that only the elderly and those with chronic health conditions would be seriously affected; most Americans (i.e., the normal people) would have only mild symptoms and be fine. x A friendly reminder: people who will be high-risk patients if we get coronavirus can hear you when you reassure everyone we’re the only ones who might die. Ã¢Â€Â” Alexandra Brodsky (@azbrodsky) February 29, 2020 Soon after the announcement of those assurances, the likelihood of high-risk people surviving was further limited by the people more likely to be fine. Shopping frenzies cleared stores of essential supplies needed everyday by many disabled people, like thermometers, hand wipes, masks, and IV infusion supplies. Accustomed to their needs ...

NewsColony JANE FRYER: The judo master who made me the fall guy… aged 97! Jane Fryer is pictured above with Jack Hearn. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute’ There is a startling moment in Jack Hearn’s extremely spick and span kitchen, when I’m standing between his trophy table and the wall and he’s telling me how he could finish me off with his huge, bearlike paws. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute.’ We have already had a lively discussion about whether he should, or should not, throw me over one of his surprisingly wide shoulders on to his beautifully vacuumed living room floor. ‘I could throw you, of course I could! But I won’t,’ he says. ‘It’s not fair — you don’t know...
