  • Bridget Moynahan Talks “Blue Bloods” Reagan Dinner Table, Cookbook Inspired by It

    Bridget Moynahan plays Erin Reagan on the hit CBS show Blue Bloods, now in its sixth season. Recently co-authoring a cookbook, Moynahan says much of it was inspired by those Blue Bloods scenes played out around the dinner table that grace a part of every episode.

    “I think it’s the moment that people get to see the characters as real humans and the most vulnerable because you’re with your family,” Bridget Moynahan said during an interview with CBS This Morning. “But I also think it’s a moment that they reflect and think, ‘gosh, I wish we were able to do that’ or looking back on memories.”

    Moynahan says each of the show’s characters has developed their own strategy for filming those dinner scenes.

    “Tom (Tom Selleck) butters his bread–and that’s kind of really good because you could think and talk and you could butter that bread for as long as you want and there’s no issues with food getting in your teeth,” she explains. “I cut it up for a long time–now my thing is eating mashed potatoes.”

    The Blue Bloods Cookbook features dishes inspired by those Reagan family dinners. Bridget Moynahan says by the time the cookbook was published, the Blue Bloods cast had sat down at that dinner table for 111 dinners. Some of the recipes are her own from her childhood.

    One of Moynahan’s personal favorites is Swedish meatballs. She had them every Christmas Eve as a child. Now her own son Benjamin asks for them frequently.

    Are you a Blue Bloods fan? Do those Reagan family dinners make you yearn for a large family and classic dining room full of aunts, uncles, and cousins?

    Of course, who wouldn’t kill to have Tom Selleck, Donnie Wahlberg, or Bridget Moynahan come to dinner?

    While purchasing The Blue Blood Cookbook won’t guarantee a dinner guest, it will guarantee some fabulous recipes inspired by both the cast, the show, and Bridget Moynahan. The cookbook is available at bookstores now.

    Blue Bloods airs on Friday nights at 10:00 p.m. on CBS.

    Bridget Moynahan married businessman Andrew Frankel in a small wedding ceremony in the Hamptons on Saturday. Now the Blood Bloods actress, known for her role as Erin Reagan, is sharing a couple of photos from her nuptials with her fans.

    Bridget Moynahan was rather tight-lipped about her impending nuptials. It was a big surprise to many that she had tied the knot this past weekend.

    “Oh, by the way, guess what I just did @johndolanphotog #sohappy #perfection #friends #family #forever,” the bride captioned this gorgeous shot that shows off the beautiful bride and handsome groom.

    Bridget Moynahan no doubt made her dad very proud when he walked her down the aisle.

    “I love you Dad #perfection #proud #priceless @johndolanphotog,” she captioned the following photo.

    The ladies in this next shot were likely Bridget Moynahan’s attendants. Although she doesn’t doesn’t list them by name, she thanks them for making her day special.

    “Best girls in the world @elowlandscape @diane_burgio_design @thelovetshop @sjtraveler thanks for making my day so special,” she wrote.

    Noticeably absent from Bridget Moynahan’s photos was one of the son she shares with Tom Brady. She and the New England Patriots quarterback were involved in a relationship for about three years. Son Benjamin spends time with both his mom and dad. Andrew Frankel has three sons. A wedding pic of all four boys would likely thrill Bridget’s fans.

    It’s uncertain if Bridget Moynahan’s Blue Blood co-stars attended her wedding or not. It certainly would be fun to see photos of Tom Selleck, Donnie Wahlberg, and more enjoying themselves at the festivities.

    Congratulations are certainly in order for Bridget Moynahan and Andrew Frankel. May they enjoy many happy years together as husband and wife.

    Moynahan shared word of her new status as a married woman via Instagram.

    “Oh, by the way, guess what I just did @johndolanphotog #sohappy #perfection #friends #family #forever,” she captioned a beautiful photo herself with her handsome groom.

    “I love you Dad #perfection #proud #priceless @johndolanphotog,” she captioned it.

    Despite it being her wedding weekend, Bridget Moynahan was still all business on Friday, sharing word via social media of a brand new Blue Bloods episode and a photo of herself with Blue Bloods star Tom Selleck.

    “Happy #BlueBloodsFriday! Are you ready for episode 4? #IsIt10PMYet #Reagans #BlueBloods @BlueBloods_CBS @cbstv,” she captioned the post, never letting on that she was tying that proverbial knot the very next day.

    Bridget Moynahan’s son Jack now has three big brothers in his life.

    “Bridget’s son Jack is excited to be gaining three incredible older brothers,” the source says.

    This is a first marriage for Bridget Moynahan and the second for Frankel.

    Congratulations are no doubt going out to the Blue Bloods actress and her new hubby.

  • Bridget Moynahan Sends ‘Deflategate’ Win Congrats to Tom Brady

    Bridget Moynahan, known for her role as Erin Reagan on the CBS hit show Blue Bloods, sent congratulations to her ex-boyfriend and father of her child, Tom Brady, after a judge threw out his “Deflategate” four-game suspension on Thursday.

    In light of rumors that wife Gisele Bundchen has threatened him with divorce, what do you suppose Tom Brady thought of Bridget Moynahan’s message?

    Moynahan took to Twitter to congratulate the New England Patriots quarterback.

    U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman ruled that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell had applied “his own brand of industrial justice” when he suspended Tom Brady for four games. Brady was accused of tampering with footballs during last season’s AFC Championship game against the Indianapolis Colts.

    Tom Brady and Bridget Moynahan share a son–eight-year-old John. The two split up back in 2007 before their son was born.

    It’s interesting to learn that in light of her split from Tom Brady, that Bridget Moynahan is still an avid New England Patriots fan.

  • Mayci Breaux Killed in Louisiana Theater Shooting, Death Will Impact Community for ‘Long Time’

    Mayci Breaux was one of two young women killed during the Louisiana theater shooting on Thursday evening. Just 21 years old, she was well known in the small community, and her untimely, senseless death will impact people there for a long time to come.

    “This is going to affect the community for a long time,”Kim Adams, Mayci Breaux’s former principal, said.

    “She’s just a beautiful person,” Adams added, following a prayer service at Mayci Breaux’s church on Friday, where those who knew and loved the young woman gathered to pray and support one another. “That’s all you can say.”

    Mayci Breaux was with her longtime boyfriend at a Lafayette, Louisiana theater on Thursday night when she another local woman, Jillian Johnson, were shot and killed at the hands of drifter John Russell Houser. She and her boyfriend, Matthew Rodriguez, had talked about marrying and starting a family.

    “They had so many plans–just to get married, have kids,” Mayci’s mom, Donde Breaux said.

    “The family’s just–they’re in shock,” Mayor Raymond Harris, Jr. said in an interview on Friday. Harris has been mayor of this Louisiana city of more than 7,500 for over a decade. He spoke with Mayci Breaux’s father on Friday morning.

    By Friday afternoon, more than 20 cars lined the yard of Mayci Breux’s family home. Family members inside the house declined to talk with reporters, but a relative outside the house identified Breaux’s parents as Kevin and Dondie Breaux. She said Mayci Breaux is also survived by a younger sister, Ali, and an older brother, Dustin.

    Yet another unthinkable tragedy has taken the lives of two young people. Surely Jillian Johnson’s family is experiencing the same harrowing ordeal as that of Mayci Breaux’s family.

    Prayers for both Mayci Breaux and Jillian Johnson, as well as their family members and friends, are being said by people all over the country.

    The coming days for both families will no doubt be the most painful each has ever endured.
