Back to Neverland!

FINALLY! Filming for season 2 began Dec 6th and the whole @NewPeterWendy team, including our amazing new cast members, can't wait to share it all with you :) 

Here's a little social media BTS of Lovlee Carroll (Lily), Kyle Walters (Peter) & Paula (Wendy): 

And a teasing one of Paula peeping at their super cute new cast mate (To Be Announced soon) who plays Smee:

Thriving in Hollywood Book is Out!

Paula was honored to have had one of her articles from MsInTheBiz.com chosen to be included in the site's first book! 

And that book is now available! Get yours here!

Amazing talents like Jane Espenson and Mena Suvari have given the book stellar reviews, it's off to such a great start! If you or anyone you know is following their dream of a career in the arts, this book is a must read. 

Entertainment Weekly Mentions NPW & Paula!

It's the Year of the Pan!

With 3 films, one live televised musical, 2 tv shows & season 2 of The New Adventures of Peter & Wendy, prepare for a lot of pixie dust! 

To do so, Entertainment Weekly ranked some of the people who've played peter pan over the years and the NPW team was BLOWN AWAY to not only be included, but to be ranked at #7! Go Kyle Walters! And Paula was the only Wendy mentioned in the article (*mega blush*) that says: 

"Walters is a puppyish, pushing-30 Peter in this webseries, a modern reimagination told via vlog that transports the story's action to the fictional town of Neverland, Ohio. The actor, who doubles as the series' co-creator, is appealing as a manchild who somehow doesn't inspire eye-rolls—though Paula Rhodes' charming Wendy is the show's real draw." 


Luck of the Irish!

Over the Thanksgiving break, Paula and Charlie went with her parents on a bucketlist trip to Ireland!

They flew into Dublin, rented a car, braved the narrow roads and different driving rules, and made a loop around the southern part of the island. It was gorgeous and they often had the place to themselves as it was off season. 

They got to try their hand at falconry on an amazing Hawk Walk: 

The Cliffs of Moher were WINDY: 

And the Ring of Kerry was spectacular: 

Definitely a trip of a lifetime! 

Atlanta Visit!

With so many shows filming in and around ATL, Paula teamed up with The People Store to have representation out there. Her hubby, Charlie Bodin, was out there to film a recurring role on Hindsight for VH1, so she flew out to visit him, their agents, and their other pals working on shows there : ) 

They had a blast touristing around places like the Aquarium:

Meeting up with Charlie's fellow Insurgent castmate, Justice Leak who was shooting Powers : 

And pal Charlie Halford who was out there killing it on Constantine

Guest Hosting What's Trending (& Bracing For Trolls)

Paula was pumped to be back at What's Trending this Thursday!

They covered the latest parody of the "10 hrs Walking in NYC as a Woman" viral video that has jaws wagging: 

and the revalation on NPR (one of Paula's favorite things ever) that T-Pain can sing, sans AutoTune:

The T-Pain video obviously isn't very controversial, but MAN has the cat call video gotten the trolls out of the wood work. Oh well, views are views regardless, and it's hardly Paula's first encounter with trolls :) 

So much fun stuff in the works, stay tuned!

(Ooo, and you may have seen her What's Trending segments featured at fill up stations - the internet is everywhere!)

Ray Rice Knocked Paula Out Too : (

Tonight was supposed to be when Paula's second ep of FX's The League aired, and it was a really fun scene, but unfortunately, a few days before, the very classy director/producer of the show wrote her to let her know that they'd had to rewrite some of the ep in light of the Rice events and that her very funny scene had been cut. 

While bummed, Paula is touched that they gave her a heads up and looks forward to hopefully working with that amazing team in the future. Regardless, The League is a great show :) 

Peter Pan is the New Zombies!

With a live musical Peter set to take the stage/screen this winter on NBC, 2 movies about to come out featuring these classic characters, and now THIS (rather familiar sounding) NBC rom com show co-created by the stellar Will McCormack (Paula's babysat his nieces for years - small world!), The New Adventures of Peter & Wendy has some stellar Neverlandian company!

There's been some buzz about the similarity (as in this Geek Nation piece by the talented Cricket Lee and this one on i09 by the awesomesauce Meredith Woerner), but Paula & team are thrilled to be a part of this moment of Pan and say there's plenty of pixie dust for everyone :) 

 

 

The League Brings "Fiona" Back!

Paula was over-the-moon to be brought back for another ep of the super fun comedy The League on FX! Her character, Fiona, first pops up in ep 5 of season 6 (first aired this Wed!) and will appear again in ep 9, stay tuned!

Paula Gets Drafted!

This NEVER happens! 

It's like a fairytale! 

But Paula got cast off her reel (never having auditioned for this office) in the uber funny show The League on FX. 

You can see her character, Fiona, make her debut in ep 5 of season 6 :) 

Here's a pic of her (hardly able to believe it) in her trailer:
