Rueben's Ramblings

Hey All,

There isn’t too much news to share today. That can be attributed to the long holiday weekend, I’m sure. But, here is what I found:

TELEVISION

Actress Charisma Carpenter (Buffy and Angel) will guest star in an upcoming episode of Burn Notice playing Nicki, a sharp-tongued, high-maintenance trophy wife whose not-so-better half, a bio-weapons engineer, is a wanted man in cahoots with the Russians.
