In case you were worried that the real life inspired happenings on NBC’s Medium had evaporated into a puff of ghostly smoke, you are in luck.  The hit show starring gorgeous blonde, newly bobbed, Patricia Arquette is slated to return as a “mid season” replacement.

The various thereal beings that pop up in various episodes will be present along with the various family members used to having a seer as mom and wife.

NBC honored The Medium cast last night at The Stephen Cohen Gallery in Beverly Hills.

Not only is Patricia a noted actress, she has a gorgeous new hubby, actor Thomas Jane and a family of actors, actresses and entertainers.

Patricia’s brother just happens to be married to former Friends star Courteney Cox who was also at the shindig with her lush strands brushed seductively to one side and cascading down around her shoulders.

Pint sized blonde beauty, Maria Lark, who is a budding scene stealer as the middle daughter on Medium was in attendance with beatiful culrs and waves.

Patricia reported Maria “is a real character” when quizzed about her on last season’s Ellen.  I for one love her sassy attitude and hilarious facial expressions.  I predict we see great things from Maria in upcoming episodes.

Even the men were coiffed in handsome styles although Thomas Jane would be stunning with no hair at all.

Just imagine working on set every day with the impishly handsome Jake Webber and then going home to Thomas Jane.  Patricia must be doing something right.

Kudos to all the talented hairdressers that created the stunning styles.

As I reported recently, Asian beauty and noted actress Linda Wang recently signed on for a short acting gig with the daytime cast of General Hospital as a nurse.

Linda promised to give me any scoops on her activites.  She recently weighed in with a photo (to the side) and some interesting tidbits of Days acting experiences.

It seems that for her role she had to wear a costume that as Linda laughingly said made her look like “an astronaut in white”.  They actually put her in “a Hazmat suit.”

She also reported “the DOOL hairdresser was really nice”.  Linda noted “she pulled my hair back” and told her “she had beautiful hair”.

On set Linda was directed to stand up straight to avoid slouching for the camera.  The director advised Linda “not to breathe too heavily” to avoid fogging up the inside of the plastic helmet suit that would block her pretty face”.

The stage manager joked saying “Linda Wang, are you flying to the moon?” Linda replied, “I am only flying to the moon with my superheroes”.
