Well just when I thought TV couldn't get any more boring, TNT will be premiering another medical show come June. *Yawn*
Scientology fembot, Jada Pinkett Smith will be starring in the new series called "Hawthorne." The thing that makes this show totally ironic, is that Jada Pinkett Smith will be playing an RN. Yes the school marm is taking time out from being school headmistress of her New Village Academy Scientology school, which we recently reported on.
She will be donning a white coat and transforming herself into "Christina Hawthorne RN Heroine" (must say in booming movie voice). Man, don't Jada and Will just LOVE playing these "save the world" parts?
Will was just in Hancock, I Am Legend and Seven Pounds.
Blech! Enough already!
Following in the footsteps of Kyra Sedgwick in "The Closer" and Holly Hunter in "Saving Grace," Jada Pinkett Smith (The Women, The Matrix Trilogy) is the latest actress to bring her talent to TNT’s arsenal of strong, complex female characters. In this character-driven medical drama told from the nurses’ point of view, she stars as Christina Hawthorne, the forceful-yet-caring director of nursing at Richmond Trinity Hospital. When a patient’s care is at risk, she will not hesitate to violate hospital protocol, defend her staff against egotistical doctors or firmly stand up to apathetic administrators who seem to have forgotten a hospital’s true purpose. Recently widowed, she also has to take on her equally important role as a mother to a willful, rebellious teenage daughter. Pinkett Smith heads a diverse cast that includes David Julian Hirsh (Lovebites), Michael Vartan (Alias), Christina Moore (90210) and Suleka Mathew (Men in Trees). She also serves as executive producer, along with Emmy®-winning creator John Masius (St. Elsewhere, Providence, Dead Like Me) and Jamie Tarses (My Boys).
Why do I find the part she plays SO ironic? Because Scientology's beliefs include NOT taking any psyche drugs of any kind and often frown on the medical community as a whole, preferring their own "scientific methods." So does this mean she will not be shown administering any drugs on the show? Or will she not be present when someone is administering drugs on the show? Or is she going to teach the staff Scientology "touch assists"? If a drug addict comes in the hospital, will she can guide them to Narconon for a detox using mega doses of vitamins, oil and days in a sauna? (Scientology's Purification Rundown and what Katie went on several times).
