Marcil Recurring on LIPSTICK JUNGLE

1 Former GENERAL HOSPITAL star Vanessa Marcil has signed on for a recurring gig at LIPSTICK JUNGLE. She'll play Josie, a very attractive up-and-coming music manager who promises Shane (Paul Blackthorne) a gig scoring music for a cool indie feature. LIPSTICK JUNGLE begins its second season on NBC this fall. Many GH fans have been hoping Marcil would return to the soap as Brenda after LAS VEGAS was canceled.

Deidre Hall For Obama

1 After weeks of media speculation about potential drama at the convention between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, the only soap opera that was evident inside the Pepsi Center Wednesday night was the appearance of longtime DAYS OF OUR LIVES actress Deidre Hall (aka Dr. Marlena Evans). Hall, attending her first convention, was sitting with the California delegation, cheering on Biden, and chanting "John McCain, more of the same." She told MSNBC that she wholeheartedly supports Obama. And when asked how long she's been an Obama supporter she said, "Once I heard Michelle speak at UCLA, I knew she was the woman I wanted in the White House." Hall was also spotted at the Huffington Post’s Oasis - a suite of offices magically transformed into a veritable sanctuary for attendees of the convention. Offering massages, facials, yoga instruction, healthy vegan food, green smoothies, and some good old fashioned R & R, the Oasis became a home away from home for many of the ever-busy journalists, delegates, and bloggers who have been running about making news, covering news, and writing news.
