A MEGA POPSTAR AND FOOTBALL PLAYER
Christmas in the Spotlight follows Bowyn (Lord), a popular musician and celebrity, who despite always singing about love and relationships, hasn’t found Mr. Right yet. Her fame and busy recording schedule make it nearly impossible to date, but when she meets Drew (Wallschleger), a pro football player, backstage at her show with his niece, there’s an undeniable spark between the two of them. When Drew publicly declares he has a crush on Bowyn, they decide to give dating a shot, much to the excitement of her manager Mira (Mai). With each passing day they spend together, their feelings grow stronger… but can it last in the limelight, especially when they both have such hectic schedules? With people questioning if their feelings for each other are real or just for show, the pressure mounts from the press, paparazzi, their fans and even their family, including Drew’s sister-in-law, Nicole (Kalil). The pair has until the end of the holiday season to decide if they want to stay together, or let it go down in flames.

Seriously, NO!!! That relationship this is inspired by is phony as heck and should NOT in any way be replicated because it is FAKE!!
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck are these writers THINKING?! A world famous singer just falling in love with a football player? Nothing but fantasy. -Maria
Another one? Let’s hope Lifetime has better offerings than this.
ReplyDeleteWho knows? It may, or may not, end up being a cheesy movie but, honestly, fictional storylines with a famous athlete/singer/actor are pretty standard fare for romance movies and romance books. It even happens in real life -- look at Candace Cameron Bure and her hockey-player husband! ~~Jane
ReplyDeleteJane, That's true, plus Carrie Underwood's husband was a professional hockey player too. I guess being in the public eye can draw these people together sometimes.
DeleteHilary Duff married her hockey player; Mike Comrie. They’ve children on their own but they were divorced. She married to musician named Matt is about her age.
DeleteIsn’t Jill Wagner married to a former hockey player?
DeleteNo, Jill Wagner married to ice hockey player named David Lemanowicz & they’ve a Daughter named Army
