The Big Bang Theory” is one of the most profitable shows on television but it’s unlikely it would have reached those levels without the presence of Cuoco. Her down-to-earth Penny balances out the socially awkward characters who live across the hall and gives them a foil for plenty of physics jokes. The show has been a launching pad for Cuoco’s film career (she stars opposite Kevin Hart in “The Wedding Ringer”) and a lucrative line of endorsements for companies like Priceline and Toyota.

WIMBLEDON, England – For the first time in a decade, women’s tennis might have its next golden girl.

Prepare for the Eugenie Bouchard bombardment.

Something else Canadian Bouchard and Russian Sharapova share: a ruthless desire to win.

“Tough as nails,” says Chris Evert.

On a rainy Monday at Wimbledon, No. 13 seed Bouchard marched into the quarterfinals by defeating No. 25 seed Alize Cornet of France 7-6 (7-5), 7-5 on Center Court.

“I would advise Sheldon to do what it takes to keep Amy [Mayim Bialik] in his life — seems to me everybody irritates Sheldon at one level or another and, of all the people in his life, she appears to irritate him the least. Added to that fact that Amy seems to love Sheldon (despite everyone else’s opinion that she shouldn’t), and I just think Sheldon would be well-advised to not play fast and loose with her affection.”

“I would tell Amy to go back to wearing cardigans, which she stopped doing in the last year. The shirt buttoned but untucked with no sweater look is really not becoming. She may not have a lot to display, but we can at least make a better effort to layer a bit!”

BAZINGA

Jim Parsons from The Big Bang Theory has taken himself down to Wimbledon a few times recently, but today’s appearance was to the JOY and DELIGHT of internet fans and celebrity-watchers alike (and hey, maybe even a few tennis-lovers), as he may have turned up in full character as Sheldon Cooper.
