FELICITY HUFFMAN WAS LUCKY TO GET PRISON TIME

Let’s face it, if Felicity Huffman had been given the probation she was hoping (and begging) for – her career would have been over. The act of paying to have her daughter’s SAT scores falsely raised made Felicity HATED by every person who ever studied like crazy to get college acceptable grades, or who struggled to pay for tuition and expenses. At least she owned up to her illicit act and apologized. But if she had NOT gotten at least SOME jail time, SO many people would resent her white privilege that she would be dead meat in Hollywood. Getting two weeks in women’s prison means she might be able to work again someday…

Dustin Hoffman Jake Hoffman Luck

JAKE HOFFMAN HAS NOT RUN OUT OF LUCK

#jakehoffman #janetcharlton

Multitasking Jake Hoffman, 31, sips iced coffee while he walks his dog and talks on the phone in NYC. He has had some free time since “Luck” was cancelled. Jake played his father Dustin Hoffman’s GRANDSON on the ill-fated HBO series. But he’ll survive – Jake has three movies coming out this year – one of them is “Generation Um…” with Keanu Reeves.

Canceled Dustin Hoffman HBO Heroes Horses Luck

HBO CANCELED “LUCK” BECAUSE OF THE RATINGS, NOT THE DEAD HORSES

HBO and Luck producers make themselves look like HEROES with incredible respect for animals by canceling the series after a third horse’s accidental death. But is that really the reason they shut the show down? Luck suffered disappointing ratings from its debut and never really caught on as HBO hoped it would. They hastily renewed the show anyway, and began filming the 2nd season quickly while the racetrack location was available. We think they were already feeling regrets when the third horse was injured and had to be euthanized and the negative publicity started spreading, further jeopardizing viewership. They had a meeting and decided the timing was perfect to cut their losses on the ailing show and look like heroes, not failures.
