Stars: Chaz Bono, David Arquette, Nancy Grace, Robert Kardashian, Carson Kressley, Ricki Lake, J.R. Martinez, Chynna Phillips, Hope Solo Network: ABC, airs Mondays, Tuesdays Original Telecast: October 11th, 2011 Tonight’s episode of DANCING WITH THE STARS: movie theme week could have easily been titled DWTS: ONE FALSE MOVE. That’s exactly what happened to newly ousted Chynna Phillips who time and time again has performed brilliantly on the dance floor but, sadly, last night she just blanked out and lost concentration which cost her…dearly. She is the fourth celeb eliminated from DWTS: Season 13. Other than the weekly disappointment of […]Read On »

Martinez, Chynna Phillips, Hope Solo Network: ABC, airs Mondays, Tuesdays Original Telecast: October 4th, 2011 Mary J. Blige opened DANCING WITH THE STARS tonight to an excitable audience after all the melodrama of last night’s “most memorable year” show. If last night’s show was heavy tonight’s was the opposite. It was as if a load had been lifted. DWTS therapy was in session. And then came the shocker! Kristin Cavallari was eliminated from the show. Wow! Although she and partner Mark Ballas tied for […]Read On »

Martinez, Chynna Phillips, Hope Solo Network: ABC, airs Mondays, Tuesdays Original Telecast: September 27th, 2011 Once again popularity prevails on DANCING WITH THE STARS when Elisabetta Canalis became the second celeb ousted from the season 13 show. With evidently a small fan base, Canalis and partner Val Chmerkovskiy, although not the lowest scorers of the night – in fact they tied for third with three other couples – were just not as popular as David Arquette, Carson Kressley, Hope Solo and believe […]Read On »

Martinez, Chynna Phillips, Hope Solo Network: ABC, airs Mondays, Tuesdays Original Telecast: September 20th, 2011 And so it begins…the first elimination of DANCING WITH THE STARS season 13 has commenced and Ron Artest or whatever his name is now (Metta what?) is cast away. There’s no suspense in his departure, after all, he did receive the lowest scores and maybe, just maybe, people weren’t buying his Dennis Rodman like antics. Still, it is hard to be the first one to […]Read On »

AMERICA’S GOT TALENT has picked their Final Four! There were no surprises tonight. The four that earned their place, got their place in the finals. No upsets. No tragedies. Just pure and just. Four acts will move onto the finals next week and one will be reigned season six champion on AGT next Wednesday night. The first to be cut from the show was Smage Bros. Riding Show, mistakes were made – prices were paid. Miami All-Stars and Lys Agnes, both of whom had disappointing performances last night, were next to go.

That’s it! No more tryouts. No more wild cards. No more You Tube acts. And no more dragging it out NBC, AMERICA’S GOT TALENT’s final ten have been picked and will compete against each other starting next week. Yes, there were many great acts to choose from and yes, it was a very difficult choice to make, but I managed to pick all five last night that made the cut. Why? Well, it really is simple to figure – which acts have lasting power and which have or ultimately will run out of steam? First easily making the cut was […]Read On »

The producers of AMERICA’S GOT TALENT should be farmers because boy do they know how to milk it! Instead of continuing on with the semi finals from the contestants we’ve watched in the last six weeks, they have interrupted that contest for another contest … a You Tube one! That’s right this week was AGT- YOU TUBE SPECIAL with acts who were picked off the internet and plopped up on stage to perform, some for the very first time in front of an live audience. There’s a difference between what you’ll watch at all hours of the night desperate for […]Read On »

With ABC Family finding success with PRETTY LITTLE LIARS based on the young adult novels by Sara Shepard, the network is now adapting THE LYING GAME to series from the Shepard novels as well about twins (both played by Alexandra Chando ) who discover the other exists and decide to swap lives temporarily with disastrous (and mysterious) results. Like LIARS, THE LYING GAME will follow its own path in order to sustain itself as a TV series, and at today’s Television Critics Association press session for the show, executive producer Charles Pratt, Jr. spoke about the adaptation. “If you’ve read the […]Read On »

Soap fans were obviously upset that ABC cancelled their long-running daytime soaps ALL MY CHILDREN and ONE LIFE TO LIVE, and that’s extended to the promise of boycotting the reality shows replacing them on ABC’s daytime schedule. Executive producer Gordon Elliott of THE CHEW, a new food talk show (think THE VIEW with food) that will air in that soap time slot, addressed this concern to the press today during a Television Critics Association session. “We hope that [soap fans] will enjoy our show,” says Elliott who was thrilled to hear ALL MY CHILDREN and ONE LIFE TO LIVE will […]Read On »
