Hook Ups Six Degrees of Separation Do you immediately recognize the name Selma Blair? I would guess yes, because she might be C in status but for those with even a passing interest in pop culture, she’s a B in name recognition.

TV Updates But what about Reese? The Cruel Intentions TV show has added another piece to the puzzle – and that piece is not a down home Southern A-lister with a mugshot.
