NEW YORK, NY. (Lifetime Television) - Here comes the final month of the traditional television season. Turmoil inside Seattle
Grace Hospital. Wigging out on Wisteria Lane. Howie Mandel wheeling and dealing. And will Will and
Grace finally...? Maybe some cable networks would duck and run, but this May, Lifetime Television unleashes 'The Mother of All Months' movie marathon, which premieres a new movie every day in May and showcases a glittering procession of stars, such as
Ellen Pompeo, Poppy Montgomery, Nicollette Sheridan, Marcia Cross, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Brooke Shields,
Shelley Long,
Harvey Keitel, Connie Nielsen, Mia Kirschner, Kelli Williams, Anne Archer, Adam Arkin, Amy Madigan, Rose McGowan,
Kelly Rowan, Annabeth Gish and Cybill Shepherd.
Hosted throughout the month by the Four-Time Country Music Association's Female Vocalist of the Year and proud mom to three girls, Martina McBride, Lifetime's 31 new movies in May begin Monday, May 1 and run through Wednesday, May 31.
"I took a break from my Timeless tour to host this month of movies for Lifetime, and it was so much fun! I've always been a fan of Lifetime and was excited when they invited me to do this," says the Grammy Award-winning singer, Martina McBride. McBride is currently touring in support of her new album Timeless, with her family along for the ride. 'It's definitely a family affair!' says McBride. Her live show, a combination of songs from Timeless and previous Martina hits, has produced a string of sold-out concerts across the country and will continue throughout the summer. Timeless debuted at number one on the Billboard Country Music Chart and number two on Billboard's overall Pop Chart and was certified platinum by the RIAA less than eight weeks after its release. The album has become her fastest million-selling effort to date and Timeless marks her eighth platinum album with total sales in excess of 16 million. '�This One's for the Girls' and �In My Daughter's Eyes' are two of my signature songs that reflect my feelings of being a mom and hopes for my daughters,' says McBride.
