While there's no word yet on whether Tom Selleck, Bridget Moynahan, or any other 'Blue Bloods' alum will show up on the new series, Wahlberg is pulling double duty on 'Boston Blue' as both its star and an executive producer. The spinoff isn't Wahlberg's first foray into Boston-set cop shows either, as he previously served as a narrator and executive producer on the short-lived reality series

Eliza Dushku Graduates With Master's Degree After Acting Retirement: ‘Deep Calling Realized'
Bring It On actress Eliza Dushku fulfilled a new dream, earning an advanced degree in clinical mental health counseling. 'Graduating with my master's degree (!!) feels like more than an achievement — it feels like a deep calling realized,' Dushku, 44, wrote via Instagram on Friday, June 6. 'True growth, energy, and passion — manifested.' Dushku received a Master of Arts degree from Lesley University late last month. 'After nearly a decade of inner work and building a new life, I'm so grateful for this moment in time,' she captioned her Friday post. 'To my highest self — for taking this wild leap away from everything I knew and making it happen. To my boys + ♥️ — for the little sacrifices made & love you gave, each day to honor and support this dream.' Eliza Dushku Reveals She Transitioned From Acting to Revolutionizing Trauma Care in Boston Dushku has been married to Peter Palandjian since 2018, and they share kids Philip, 5, and Bodie, 3. Palandjian, 61, and the couple's kids were on hand for Dushku's graduation ceremony. 'And to my family, friends — new and old — my colleagues/classmates, professors/teachers, and community, I give thanks: for rooting me on, encouraging me day in and day out, and affording me the grace, strength, and space to step fully into these past years of clinical training,' she wrote. "Today, I stand grounded and ready to support others on their journeys of becoming — through self-discovery, healing, and transformation. The connectedness I feel in holding safe, compassionate space for those who seek the undertaking is such lifeblood now.' She concluded, 'To possibility, hope, and healing, all. Non sibi sed toti 🤍.' Dushku took a step back from acting in 2017, turning to a new career in mental health counseling. In a 2024 profile for Boston Magazine, Dushku revealed that she is certified in psychedelic-assisted therapy. 'I had the means to shift directions and choose a course in my life that focused on healing myself so that I could help heal others,' Dushku told the outlet. 'I would be remiss if I didn't now share the transformation and the peace and the passion that I have. This is just absolutely so clearly my real calling, my real purpose.' Stars Who Left Hollywood Behind Over the Years: Cameron Diaz, Michael Schoeffling and More According to Dushku, she had previously used psychedelics to help recover from past traumas. 'I found myself feeling so wholly unwell,' she recalled. 'So painfully vulnerable, raw, exposed — terrified and suffering from what was diagnosed as PTSD. I finally surrendered and began to feel a release and a sense of peace and security and calm whooshing through me.' Dushku revealed past struggles with alcoholism and addiction in 2017.

Shaquille O'Neal Doesn't Hold Back on Jayson Tatum's Hall of Fame Chances
Shaquille O'Neal Doesn't Hold Back on Jayson Tatum's Hall of Fame Chances originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Shaquille O'Neal has played a major role within the NBA for over 30 years, building one of the most decorated resumes of all time as a player and later becoming a well-liked TV personality during his tenure with the "NBA on TNT" cast. Advertisement In his 19-year playing career, O'Neal won four championships, an MVP Award, and sits among the top ten all-time scoring leaders. Since stepping off the court, he's begun hosting "The Big Podcast" alongside his "NBA on TNT" partner Adam Lefkoe. On Thursday's episode, Lefkoe claimed Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum's resume is enough for a Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame induction, right now, and Shaq didn't hold back.

'You ever see that movie 'Ocean's Thirteen?' I'm going to break into the Hall of Fame and take all of my (expletive) out,' O'Neal said. You (expletive) just throwing people in there now." Advertisement Shaq went on to say he thinks there are two types of Hall of Fames: a "bad" one and a "basketball" one. "Isiah Thomas said it the best one day, he said there's two Hall of Fames," Shaq added. "There's a bad (expletive) Hall of Fame and there's a basketball Hall of Fame." At only 27 years of age, Tatum has racked up six All-Star appearances, five All-NBA selections and an NBA championship. With high expectations joining a legendary organization like the Celtics, the 2017 third-overall pick had all the pressure in the world to perform. According to Shaq, these accolades, combined with career averages of 23.6 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game (via ESPN), may not be enough to make it into the Hall of Fame right now, but he didn't rule it out when it's all said and done.

Boston wine bar celebrates Pride with a huge fundraiser while making wine more approachable
A small wine bar in Boston's Downtown Crossing is helping create lasting memories for its guests by making wine more approachable. It may look like your average wine bar, but at the vibe is anything but. The wine bar's guests are typically packed like sardines, fitting for a spot known for its tinned fish and organic wine. "Undeniable energy" "When people walk through that door, that's when the experience starts," said owner Haley Fortier. "And we have this undeniable energy here that is really fun." Fortier opened the bar with no partner, no chef and no plans to cook. But the demand and the menu grew fast. "We had people that just kept coming in and coming in and, you know, two and three times a week and now they want something hot and x, y and z," said Fortier. "And so it's really morphed into this thing that it is." Now the tiny kitchen pumps out a full menu, from tinned fish and barbecue beef sliders to eel on potato chips. Fortier's main mission is making wine approachable. No oversized lists, no pretense, just passion. "We've just kind of brought that pretention of what people think in their mind is this wine bar," said Fortier. "We've brought it down to a level that people can relate to and understand." The bar is more than just great pours and playlists. It's also a place where everyone is welcome. "It's a very queer forward staff," said Fortier. "But the importance here is really, since day one, we've always been a place of inclusivity." Special Pride fundraiser Every June, that spirit takes center stage with an over the top pride party that doubles as a fundraiser. "It's called our Pink Party. Last year was cowboy-themed, Dolly Parton," said Fortier. "But basically what we're doing is we're turning this into a tattoo parlor meets dive bar meets Chappell Roan meets pink. It's going to be really fun." Beyond pride, the bar gives back year-round, supporting women's health and local LGBTQ+ organizations like BAGLY right down the street. So whether it's Orange Wine October or Wiener Wednesdays, likes to keep things quirky. "We don't take ourselves too seriously but we're serious about what we serve, who we serve and how they feel when they leave here," said Fortier. "Nine times out of 10, people are leaving here very, very happy. They feel like they've come to a safe place, an inclusive place. We have all the right vibes, we have all the right energy."
