Bledans was on the verge of a nervous breakdown

The main sign of the show “Stars in Africa” ​​are celebrity tantrums. And Evelina Bledans shows a master class here. It remains only to understand her main goal: to put pressure on pity or to show off acting?

Nothing happens with pity. Well, not a drop of sympathy is caused by all these stellar torments and sufferings. And it would seem! They keep the poor from hand to mouth, make them take part in terrible trials and even pit against each other.

Here Evelina in a recent episode of the show did not get ham. Tears, cries of “where is my meat?”, resentment, contempt for those who got it. Apparently, this moment was presented as dramatic, but in the sensations of such a spectacle there was more embarrassment for what famous people are ready to do for the sake of a very illusory, at least in this case, prospect of becoming even more famous.

Here in “Superninja” there are much more human emotions. There is, of course, something kindergarten in these testosterone races, but at least there are sincere emotions here. Perhaps that is why the stars in the show are not called. Although they would certainly add caricature gestures and fake tears. If we return to Evelina Bledans, then she sobbed twice in one issue, as if it was written in the contract.

Projects like “Stars in Africa” ​​can be safely recommended to applicants for acting universities. It may be useful for them to see where an acting career can lead. But the career of TV presenters brought Buzova and Galustyan to the right place. They are responsible for the trash conference in this whole African undertaking, and there are no complaints about them at all.

Pegova in Bond armor

In the role of a super agent, Irina Pegova is quite herself. It probably couldn’t have been otherwise, because the actress has already played a lot of women who both run a galloping horse and into a burning hut … But it is the other roles of Pegova that put the series “My Mom is a Spy” in its place.

If there are hundreds of projects in the filmography and diligence is still in good shape, then it is quite difficult to keep the brand. You can, of course, make maximum acting efforts, but if the series itself has more to do with industry than with cinema, the miracle most likely will not happen. That did not happen with the spy comedy.

The heroine Pegova is a “sleeping” super agent who, by coincidence, had her memory erased, and now all her superpower is directed at her henpecked husband and selfish children. But suddenly there is a reason to return the wonder woman to the ranks and as partners to a former colleague (and not only) in the incarnation of Vladimir Vdovichenkov.

From time to time, “My Mom is a Spy” tries to go beyond the jokes. Here is another statement of a very sad state of affairs, according to which in Russia it is mainly women who have superpowers, and attempts to reflect on the possibility of starting a new life with completely different perspectives. But then you have to fight with a frying pan or flaunt in lace underwear.

Both are not bad at all, but Pegova’s fans probably remember “Walk” and “Space as a premonition.” And if it seems too abstruse, then there are “Fried Chicken”, “House Arrest”, “Food Block” and other series that stay in the memory longer than they go on the air. Let’s hope that such Irina will still appear.

Surprise with Primadonna

A member of the “Voice” Sofia Maltseva (pictured) sang Pugachev’s “I like it” at blind auditions. It was convincing (the girl went to the next round) and a little unexpected.

There are rumors that according to the latest Ostankino directives, any association with the Primadonna is undesirable. One can, of course, assume that the creators of the show (blind auditions are usually recorded in advance) do not always keep up with the rapidly changing rules of the game. Or there are still exceptions, if we are talking about a chic romance to the music of Tariverdiev and Tsvetaeva’s poems from the popularly beloved film.

One way or another, but the song sounded and reminded that a certain semblance of an anti-Pugachev campaign was spoken out in the last century. In the mid-nineties, some of the most advanced media reformers thought that the tastes of our public should be brought to a cosmopolitan European standard. And the restriction of the activities of Alla Borisovna, Valery Yakovlevich and other pillars of the Soviet stage by the walls of the theater of the same name could help here. And in radio and television broadcasts, it was necessary to prescribe only what keeps pace with the new time.

According to optimistic forecasts, after two or three years of such a cultural policy, the whole country would be watching Blue Lights with a bang with our fashionable rockers and would know all the Beatles hits by heart. But instead, the main persons of the TV reforms became the authors of “Old songs about the main thing.” This project is now being evaluated in different ways – ranging from rebooting our cultural identity to opening Pandora’s box.

But what was, was. Much more interesting, what will be the consequences of the current music policy. At the moment the situation is as follows. Pugachev manages well without local television so far. And how is it without her?
