CD Review: Stevie Nicks – IN YOUR DREAMS

Stevie Nicks - IN YOUR DREAMS | ©2011 Reprise Records

Distributor: Reprise Records Suggested Retail Price: $12.99 One of the most fascinating aspects about singer-songwriter Stevie Nicks is how she not has masterfully managed to be both a co-frontperson for the band Fleetwood Mac and also have an equally successful solo career, with each sounding unique unto themselves. Her work with Mac and former lover/partner/bandmate Lindsey Buckingham was seeped in emotional angst, music that was a pop/rock hybrid elevated by Buckingam’s skills as a guitarist and sometimes producer for the band. Her solo stuff leaned more in the rock arena. It was always Nicks at its heart, but she always […]Read On »

Stars: Dianna Agron, Chris Colfer, Jessalyn Gilsig, Jane Lynch, Jayma Mays, Kevin McHale, Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Matthew Morrison, Amber Riley, Mark Salling, Jenna Ushkowitz Writer: Ian Brennan Director: Eric Stoltz Network: Fox, airs Tuesday nights Original Telecast: May 10, 2011 GLEE seems to have gotten off the preachy wagon and somewhat more on track with this week’s episode “Prom Queen”.  Of course since there are lots of gay themes this week, conservative America led by the sow of the decade Victoria Jackson will consider this episode part of the dreaded “Gay Agenda”. Incidentally, if I could figure out what […]Read On »

DANCING WITH THE STARS Recap: Romeo bids adieu to DWTS

It’s a DANCING WITH THE STARS miracle! Ralph Macchio is saved while Romeo is cut loose from DWTS. In the biggest shocker since Petra Nemcova got the heave ho a few weeks back, Romeo ends his run (with his partner Chelsie Hightower) on Season 12 of DWTS and places fifth in the competition. The fans have spoken and they want Macchio in the semi-finals, along with Kirstie Alley, Chelsea Kane and Hines Ward. The results show week eight brought Alley the encore, which scored her that coveted first “10”. Her encore may actually have been even better than her Monday […]Read On »

Exclusive Interview: GLEE star Kevin McHale gets his funk on

Kevin McHale plays the wheelchair bound Artie on the hit Fox series GLEE, and one of the most surprising things about the character and the actor himself is the eclectic group of songs he gets to sing. And in Season 2, he’s also fallen in love and broken up with the show’s ditzy Brittany (Heather Morris). We briefly spoke to the young actor as he discusses his favorite songs, the show’s success and being a role model. ASSIGNMENT X: Are you surprised at how successful the show has become – especially since the first 13 episodes were done in a […]Read On »

TV Review: THE CHICAGO CODE – Season 1 – “Black Sox”

Stars: Delroy Lindo, Billy Lush, Matt Lauria, Jennifer Beals, Jason Clarke, Devin Kelley and Todd Williams Writer: Heather Mitchell & Kevin Townsley Director: Michael Offer Network: Fox, airs Monday nights Original Telecast: May 9, 2011 There have only been a couple of episodes of THE CHICAGO CODE that haven’t lived up to the show’s enormous potential, and sadly “Black Sox” is one of them. The police procedural elements, usually so dead-on perfect and engaging prove to be unspectacular, while all the ongoing personal drama keeps this episode from going completely to the dogs. The story begins with a hate crime […]Read On »

Certainly the show has escaped cancellation so many times, this year, would seem no different (and victory is always there). Yet, as much as we can hope, there are […]Read On »

TV Review: DANCING WITH THE STARS – Season 12 – Week 8 – Insta’ Dance Night!

A DANCING WITH THE STARS miracle will have to happen tomorrow night for Ralph Macchio to escape elimination during Week 8 of Season 12. A miracle far greater than the one he just accomplished by dancing The Viennese Waltz and an “Insta’ Dance” Cha Cha Cha on a bum knee. With his knee injury peeking last Friday, it wasn’t even known whether or not Macchio was going to dance at all tonight, let alone get through it, until right before showtime. He persevered, making it through with somewhat decent, though not impressive, scores. And yet in this stage of the […]Read On »

TV Review: CAMELOT – Season 1 – “Three Journeys”

Claire Forlani in CAMELOT - Season 1 | ©2011 Starz

Stars: Jamie Campbell Bower, Joseph Fiennes, Eva Green, Claire Forlani Writer: Chris Chibnall Director: Stefan Schwartz Network: Starz, airs Friday nights Original Telecast: May 6th, 2010 It saddens me when Period shows fall into all too familiar traps. So often they start of strong and then lose some of the head of steam that they had when they started. CAMELOT has fallen under this dark banner. The latest episode “Three Journeys” felt like a filler in between more important plot threads that were left out of this story’s continuity. King Arthur (Jamie Campbell Bower) takes off out of Camelot after […]Read On »
