‘The Flight Attendant’ Season 2 begins

LONDON   -  Pardon me while I focus on travel. I’m heading out of the country for some much-needed rest and relaxation and to celebrate the wedding of a pair of dear friends.  But I would never leave you without some Pop Life, while I pop off to vacay, and the first offering is in line with flying off for an escape. Kaley Cuoco has come a long way from “The Big Bang Theory.”


Not only is she starring in the critically acclaimed series “The Flight Attendant,” but she’s also one of the executive producers of the dark comedy.


In the new season, Cuoco gets to play different versions of her character, Cassie Bowden. The show is streaming on HBO Max, which like CNN is part of Warner Bros.


After three longs years, we are finally getting the return of time traveler Nadia Vulvokov (she prefers the term “time prisoner”), who in season one got caught up in a Groundhog Day death spiral. Natasha Lyonne is wonderful in the lead role and, like the title suggests, there are layers upon layers here.


When the poster of Viola Davis as former first lady Michelle Obama in Showtime’s “The First Lady” was released, people were shook. The resemblance was startling, and it stoked excitement for the series. After the first episode, there were some ... feelings about the show. There are some other heavy hitters as well, Michelle Pfeiffer as Betty Ford and Gillian Anderson as Eleanor Roosevelt. Check it out for yourself and see what all the hoopla is about. Additional bonus: If you want more real-life Davis, her chat with Oprah Winfrey drops Friday on Netflix. Jason Aldean is paying tribute to his roots in his new double album.


“Macon, Georgia” is the country star’s 10th studio album and combines his last album, “Macon,” with his new one, “Georgia.”


“Where you were raised has such a big influence on who you become and for me it’s no different ... especially from a music standpoint,” Aldean said in a statement on his site. “My little hometown of Macon was heavily instrumental in my musical background. Growing up in an environment that was a crossroads between Country music, Southern rock, blues and R&B, it was just natural to blend different sounds in my own way.
