What Will Happen If I Take Testosterone

Kate Beckinsale has been busy these days. Her latest movie Jolt, released on Amazon Prime, is already rumored to have a sequel in the making. Clearly, she has a full plate. So it's no surprise that she doesn't think there will be the sixth installment of Underworld.

Beckinsale plays Selene, a warrior vampire dubbed a Death Dealer who has dedicated her life to killing Lycans, also known as werewolves. The franchise was an immediate hit among fans, but not so much the critics. Let's take a look at the franchise's past, present, and possible future.

The film that started it all

The first film in the franchise made $95 million with a $25 million dollar budget in 2003. The franchise has since spawned four sequels: Underworld: Evolution in 2006, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans in 2009, Underworld: Awakening in 2012, and Underworld: Blood Wars in 2016.

Despite the success of the franchise, Beckinsale doesn't see the franchise continuing but says that she is willing to slip back into the leather pants. "I know exactly where they are," she told Variety. One of the biggest indications has been the time between films. Another factor is the critics' opinion of the franchise through the years.

The end of the line for the franchise

None of the films in the franchise have been well-received by critics. All of the films were deemed rotten by Rotten Tomatoes. However, the franchise has a loyal fan-following so the sequels kept coming. That fan-following faltered after the last film. The latest film didn't even impress the loyal fans.

In addition, a long time has passed since the final film. Based on the release of prior films in the franchise, no more than four years passed between the sequels, which is also another indication that the fan following has finally petered out.

A reboot may be in the future

Since the film doesn't seem ripe for a sequel, some have ventured to guess a reboot may be in the works. It has been rumored that a TV show could be in the works for the franchise as well. It would be interesting to see if Beckinsale would be willing to reprise her role in a TV show.

Beckinsale has mentioned that she would like to work on a mashup of Underworld and Blade. Since the movies are born from the same genre, it would be an interesting film if and when it does come to fruition. However, she says that she thinks they only wanted to do a Blade reboot as a solo project. Perhaps there will be a mashup in the future?

If there is enough outcry from audiences when there is no Underworld 6 produced, that could be one way the writers could reinvigorate the franchise by creating a new storyline for both characters. In 2016, producer David Kern stated that a crossover film with the Resident Evil film series had also been considered.

A separate crossover film between the Blade series and Underworld had been discussed as a sequel to Blade: Trinity with Snipes returning, but that idea was declined because Marvel Studios had plans to use the character in the Marvel Universe.

Kate Beckinsale seems to have found her niche in Hollywood as a female action hero. Her work in Underworld, as well as Jolt in 2021, has certainly placed her in the running for it. If her recent films are any indication, it seems that Beckinsale may well be the next Milla Jovovich, who was deemed the "reigning queen of kick-butt" by VH1 in 2006. Look out Milla, someone may be coming for your crown.

Brady Bunch Bedroom

Brady Bunch Bedroom

It was the story of that "lovely lady" and that "man named Brady" who, in 1969, took the wedded plunge, creating TV's most popular blended brood.

Courtesy Everett Collection / Courtesy Everett Collection

Here are 11 far-out facts and observations about Mike, Carol, Greg, Marcia, Peter, Jan, Bob, Cindy, and of course, everyone's favorite housekeeper, Alice.

1. Florence Henderson wanted Carol Brady to have a job.

Courtesy Everett Collection / Everett Collection / Everett Col

Aside from handing out the brown-bag lunches, supporting hubby Mike (Robert Reed) when he had to scold one of the kids, or doing needlepoint, matriarch Carol Brady, played by Florence Henderson, did not have all that much to do to fill her days on "The Brady Bunch." However, Henderson said in various interviews that she actually wanted Carol to hold down a job. Wisecracking Alice (Ann B. Davis) did all the grunt work, after all. But the producers just did not want to see Carol bringing home the bacon.

2. TV's youngest Bradys were not as shy as you thought.

Everett Collection

TV's most wholesome family featured a nude scene … sort of. In a scene in Season 4 episode "Goodbye, Alice, Hello," which has been deleted for years, Bobby and Cindy, for no logical reason, announce they are going swimming at the neighbor's pool. "The new people at the corner invited us over the swim," explains Cindy. But when doting Alice decides to check what bathing suit Bobby is wearing, she opens his robe and discovers (egads!) he is wearing his birthday suit. Cindy is also au naturel. "Who moved in over there, Adam and Eve?" questions Alice, who quickly quashes these nudie shenanigans.

3. There was a very Brady car mix-up.

In Season 2 episode "The Winner," Mike and Carol take Bobby (Mike Lookinland) to a local TV show to compete in an ice cream eating competition (Bobby, after all, was the only Brady kid not to have a trophy!). But they leave in the blue convertible and return in the brown station wagon. Did Alice switch the cars?

4. The Brady attic magically grew in size.

Everett Collection

In the fourth season finale, "A Room at the Top," Greg (Barry Williams) and Marcia (Maureen McCormick) both want to move into the full-sized attic. But, wait — didn't Mike tell Carol two seasons earlier in the "Our Son, the Man" episode that the attic was only two and a half feet tall? Hmmm …

5. "The Brady Bunch" made an attempt at diversity.

Season 5 episode "Kelly's Kids" was a backdoor pilot featuring Ken Berry and Brooke Bundy as the new Brady neighbors who decide to adopt three young boys with different cultural backgrounds. One of those boys, Matt, was played by Lookinland's then-9-year-old brother, Todd. After being rejected by ABC, the series morphed into "Together We Stand" with Elliott Gould and Dee Wallace on CBS in 1986 (which, after a low-rated fall season, returned without Gould that spring as "Nothing is Easy"). You got that?

6. Robert Reed had an on-camera role on another network during "The Brady Bunch."

Courtesy Everett Collection / Courtesy Everett Collection

In Season 5 episode "Mail Order Hero," featuring football legend Joe Namath, Marcia (Maureen McCormick) makes reference to a "far-out" guy named Mike Connors. At the time, TV dad Robert Reed also had a recurring role as Lt. Adam Tobias on CBS detective drama "Mannix," which starred Mike Connors. Groovy inside joke!

7. The sun will come up tomorrow — and the next day — on "The Brady Bunch."

Mirroring the perfection in the Brady home, every day was a "sunshine day" at 4222 Clinton Way. Apparently, it never does rain in Southern California!

8. Good 'ol Alice must have been on a hunger strike.

Courtesy Everett Collection / Courtesy Everett Collection

Alice, most commonly, was in that orange and avocado-green kitchen, preparing meal after meal for the hungry Brady brood (including Peter's favorite, pork chops and apple sauce). But did you ever notice that Alice never managed to eat anything? Maybe that's why she seemed to manage fine without her own bathroom.

9. Even the girl who "made it after all" could not avoid the Robbie Rist curse.

Courtesy Everett Collection / Courtesy Everett Collection

Yes, we know. Robbie Rist as Cousin Oliver "killed" "The Brady Bunch." After six episodes with Oliver, ABC opted against a sixth season (which, in fact, would have included that little jinx). But did you know that Rist also spread his bad luck on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show"? After joining the beloved sitcom as Ted (Ted Knight) and Georgette's (Georgia Engel) adopted son David in the sixth season-finale, it was curtains after just one more season.

10. A different Mike Brady could have had two more kids.

One planned scenario for "The Brady Bunch," had there been a sixth season, was for another actor to be cast in the role of Mike Brady. Sherwood Schwartz was apparently none too happy about Reed's antics (including missing the fifth season finale, which was ultimately the series-ender), according to "Brady, Brady, Brady," a book he co-wrote with son Lloyd Schwartz. And a potential change in direction of the sitcom was for Carol to become pregnant with twins. The boy would have hair of gold, like his mother, and the girl would favor those four men living all together.

11. Once a Brady, always a Brady.

Courtesy Everett Collection / Courtesy Everett Collection

Eve Plumb, a then hot commodity post-"Brady Bunch" care of made-for TV movies "Dawn: Portrait of a Teenage Runaway" and "Alexander: The Other Side of Dawn," was too busy to participate in spinoff fiasco "The Brady Bunch Hour" in 1977 (which has given "fake Jan," Geri Reischl, a career). But once "The Brady Bunch" debuted in off-network syndication, Eve was back as Jan … forever.

Average Gas Bill For 3 Bedroom House

Average Gas Bill For 3 Bedroom House

Finding the Best Gas Heater

CC0/Pixabay/Pexels

When the temperature dips, there's nothing like the comfort and warmth that a gas heater provides. Yet, anyone who has spent any time shopping for one understands that not all heaters are created equally. You want a heater that's designed to fit your needs, look great in your space and work within your lifestyle. This isn't an investment to rush into. Before you shell out your money and install one in your home, read this guide to make sure you're getting the best gas heater for your needs.

Know If You Need a Gas Heater

You might think that a gas heater could work well in your space, but is the heater made for it? As you research your options, you'll soon realize that gas heaters are categorized by their heating capacities. This is true for older models, secondhand gas heaters and those you buy new. While this has much to do with the size of a room they're designed to warm, the rating also measures how quickly they emit heat. Some gas heaters, most notably portable and unflued ones, don't work in a particularly small space. The reason? They produce emissions that could be harmful if there isn't enough air circulating in the area. If it's quick heating you're looking for, you'll need as large of a model as possible, but you need to make sure the space is large enough to disperse any off gassing. Take an inventory of your space and determine if a gas heater is ideal for it. If so, you're ready to compare specifics.

Determining the Right Size

Naturally, you want to get the biggest gas heater for your money, right? Not so fast. It's easy to spend a fortune on an oversized one, thinking it'll pump out hot air like a champ and work like a powerhorse. But don't forget the fact that it can also be a costly and unnecessary expense. Conversely, the opposite also holds true. In an effort to save a few bucks, you could opt for a model that's far too small for your needs. Peruse gas heater reviews and other resources to understand the kWh heat output rating of each model you're considering. As a rule of thumb, one kWh will heat a space of around 10 square meters. You'll also need to take into consideration the climate where you live, how tall your ceilings are, your home's current level of insulation and how much direct sunlight the area gets in order to understand what size of gas heater you require.

Choosing Between Flued or Portable

There are two main types of gas heaters you'll select between when choosing yours. One is a flued gas heater, and the other is a portable model. The former works via the installation of a flue that runs from your gas heater to the outdoors, allowing exhaust gas to travel outside of your home. While it can be an effective solution, it also requires construction, meaning that it's not ideal if you're renting or are in a space temporarily. As an alternative, you can go with a portable gas heater that's unflued. As implied, one benefit of this type is that you can move it from room to room, store it away when it's not in use and bring it with you when you move. Portable heaters also produce quicker, more direct heat than their flued counterparts. Moreover, though they may cost you more at the onset, they're cost-effective to run and can save you money on gas heater maintenance in the long-term. On the other hand, a flued gas heater is more efficient at removing harmful emissions. You can also use this type in spaces where portable models can't usually work, including bedrooms and bathrooms.

What to Look For in a Portable Heater

Whether you ultimately go with a flued option or a portable one is determined by your usage requirements. There are specific elements you should look for in each model. With a portable gas heater, look for one that operates via convection. These include a fan to speed up the movement of hot air and often come equipped with a remote control to help you regulate the temperature. The alternative is a radiant-convection model, which works in a similar manner but uses an exposed panel to emit heat in a room. These can be cheaper to buy but often don't have automated add-ons, such as thermostats.

What to Look For in a Flued Heater

If you're shopping for a flued gas heater, look for one that comes equipped with a thermostat, remote control, programmable timer and electronic ignition. These are often integrated with smart home apps to make them as effective and usable as possible. Depending on the model you select, you can expect to spend between $400 and $2,500 on your new gas heater. Take the time to research your options, understand your space limitations and engage the assistance of professional gas heater installation services as you move forward. Then, you'll be able to comfortably and confidently relax in your newly warm space.

Cheery Space to Play

Kid spaces are a great opportunity to add multiple layers of color, but resist the urge to go overboard with too many saturated tones. Take color cues from a pillow or cheerful striped rug that layer several muted shades together but do not overwhelm with too many competing colors of the rainbow. This boy's room decor features calming shades of blue, gray, and white, with small doses of bright green added for fun.

There's something about stripes that just seems to scream "boy's room." This boy's bedroom design goes all out with stripes of different sizes and colors, but the underlying scheme of blue, yellow, and white ties the whole space together. Primary colors are always a good bet for kids' rooms and can be adjusted to fit a more mature bedroom in a boy's future.

White walls look anything but boring when paired with a bold patterned bedspread and bright boy's bedroom decor. Sunny orange, bright blue, and lime green accents create a lively color scheme. Crisp white bedroom walls and open shelves set a neutral backdrop that will pair perfectly with any decorating style as tastes change.

The New Neutral

Although many people don't think of blue as a neutral, it really is one of those colors that goes with just about everything. Soft blue walls blend effortlessly with a variety of patterns and textures in this toddler boy's nursery. Plus these soothing shades of blue will have true staying power as he grows. When considering boy's bedroom ideas for small rooms, turn to light blue as its airy shade makes a space look bigger.

Give a boy's room a nautical vibe with a navy boy's bedroom set, plank walls, and ship-inspired accessories. A gallery wall of antique posters and sailboat flag bunting adds to the theme without making the decor look too juvenile. A madras quilt at the foot of the bed brings all the accent colors together.

Wondering how to decorate when your little one adores outerspace? Instead of embracing an all-out cosmic boy's bedroom theme, use neutral colors and furniture to create a sophisticated space, then add fun planet-theme accessories. A large model solar system hanging above the bed is fun now but can be easily replaced as interests change.

Room for Two

Although shared spaces are fun, it's important to choose a theme that everyone likes. The masculine color scheme in this boy's bedroom allows for many possibilities in wall hangings and accessories. Mature bedding and upholstered headboards can last well into these brothers' teen years.

Artsy Inspiration

Searching for a kid-friendly color scheme? Look no further than their artwork! Inspiration for this boy's room came from the dynamic painting hanging on the wall. Blue walls look great contrasted with a vibrant orange bookshelf and throw blanket, and a few splashes of lime make for a fun color scheme.

Nature-inspired boy's bedroom ideas are great for any little boy with a love for the outdoors. To emphasize a vaulted ceiling, this boy's bedroom features white shiplap that runs vertically on the wall and horizontally on the ceiling. A mix of natural materials, like twine on the bed frame, bamboo Roman shades, and a wood accent wall, add to the woodland feel.

Storage for All

Cleaning up after playtime will be a snap with built-in boy's bedroom storage. Colorful bins and baskets hold art supplies, playing cards, paper, and more. The lower shelves are great for storing kid-friendly books, toys, and games, while the top shelves are better for items that need parental supervision.

Gray continues to be a popular neutral and works for both younger boys and teenagers. Shades of gray, black, and brown create this neutral boy's bedroom. Add pops of blue in seating, accent pillows, or wall art for a fresh dose of relaxing color.

Creative Beds

To give your boys more room for both work and play, consider pushing their beds along adjacent walls. The open space in the middle of the room will be perfect for overnight guests or playtime. Consider lofted beds for your boy's bedroom; the space below works as a fort when they're young and a place for storage or study as they grow older.

Monkeying Around

A jungle theme gets a nautical twist in this gorgeous neutral bedroom. Classic sock monkeys swing from vines, while others perch happily on vintage boat oars. A twin-size bed packs extra storage with built-in drawers for toys and clothing. A shag rug adds comfort and style underfoot.

Happy Campers

Wondering what to do when your little one adores flying? Instead of embracing an all-out aviation theme, use neutral colors and furniture to create a sophisticated space and add fun airplane-theme accessories. A large model airplane hanging above the bed and some adorable airplane throw pillows embrace his love of flying, but the items can be easily replaced as his interests change.

  • This Harry Potter themed bedroom is award-winning! Sophia Daly, a mum of two children from Nottingham, pulled out all the stops to transform her seven-year-old daughter Alana's bedroom into a spellbinding room of dreams based on the beloved books and movies.

    More magical inspiration: Fan gives IKEA chest of drawers a magical Harry Potter makeover – for just £45

    Working her magic she's carefully upcycled existing furniture, painted the room to look enchanted and sourced second-hand accessories to add the perfect finishing touches.

    Makeover: Harry Potter themed bedroom

    'I did go on Pinterest and Facebook groups for inspiration but didn't really like anything I saw,' Sophia explains to Latest Deals. 'So we sat and had a movie marathon of the films and I picked out subtle things that were referenced in the films, but not too in your face.' Method style to ensure she got every detail correct – you have to admire the dedication.

    'I asked my daughter what kind of Harry Potter room she wanted, and she mentioned Gryffindor. So from there, I wanted to make it feel like Hogwarts and a Gryffindor dorm room.'

    Let these incredibly creative ideas inspire you…

    'I knew I wanted a brick wall, a platform 9 3/4 and a library wall' she explains. 'The brick wall I found at Next and was £12 a roll – I only used two.'  We also love the invisibility cloak wall hooks mounted here. And the attention to detail, with the message written on the mirror – just like the chamber of secrets!

    Sophia explains, 'I revamped her blinds by glueing wallpaper to them with bookbinding glue. I did the same for the wardrobe doors.' A job well done, but we love the detail here also, the school tie tiebacks is a touch of genius.

    3. Decorated ceilings

    The ceiling is brought to life by Sophia's imaginative vision of floating kets and candles. 'I glued wings onto the keys, put fishing wire on and hung to the ceiling with command hooks.' And did the same with the floating candles.'

    Sophia was keen to create an enchanted ceiling, beyond the floating accessories. Having rewatched the film she noted the ceilings featured clouds and stars. Inspired she explains, 'I started painting black and stippled blue with a dry stiff brush. I got a YouTube video tutorial on how to do clouds easily. It said to stipple grey and white together for the fluffy cloud effect.'

    'I had some spray paint left from an old project but it was grey. So I thought I'd just test a small area, and it softened all the edges and made an almost fog-like appearance. I loved it. For the stars I watered down with white paint and simply flicked the brush to give the illusion of stars.'

    4. Upcycled furniture

    Image credit: Sophia Daly

    'My daughter's furniture was all white from IKEA. I knew I wanted dark furniture but couldn't find what I wanted or anything that I could afford' Says Sophia. 'So I bought Frenchic paint in Smudge and painted her furniture as even if it went wrong, it would be okay as I had nothing to lose.'

    'It worked a dream. I bought one tin and it did every piece of furniture, as well as the skirting, windowsills and door.'
