“Freak Out” Your Friends

October 8, 2014 Kellie Freeze

ABC Family’s new hidden camera show Freak Out sets up unsuspecting people for spectacular scares. These unwitting victims are put in spooky situations by the people who know them best: their friends, siblings, and even their parents. Executive producer SallyAnn Salsano says that prank-loving participants tell her, “My friend did X, Y and Z, and now I’m just gonna freak them out,” and through the use of stunts, lighting, pyrotechnics and some really terrifying makeup, Freak Out creates some terrifying (and terrific) TV moments. SallyAnn Salsano’s success as a producer is unparallelled in the world of fresh, viral TV. As […]

October 7, 2014 Kellie Freeze

Nail art has become the ultimate fashion accessory, ad I admit that I’m really excited for Nail’d It Episode 1. I don’t regularly do much to my hands beyond painting my nails, but I love any competition show where artists compete in an unusual medium.

Each week on Nail’d It, 3 top nail artists battle for $10,00 a spot in the finals where they will compete for $100,000 and a cover of Nail It! Magazine. Adreinne Bailon talks about Oxygen’s new […]

October 6, 2014 Kellie Freeze

Season 19 is dance pro Allison Holker’s first on Dancing With the Stars, but the contemporary dancer and Emmy-nominated choreographer appeared as a contestant on Season 2 of So You Think You Can Dance and returned to the dance competition multiple times as an all-star, so she is used to high-stakes dancing. But nevertheless, she was surprised by her intense DWTS practice schedule: “I’m pulling 14-hour days, every day. I’m so exhausted, but I’m ecstatic about my life I am so energized because I love the work I’m doing,” she revealed. “But it’s a good feeling and I wouldn’t have […]

Tonight On DWTS: Songs From Celebs’ “Most Memorable Year”

October 6, 2014 Kellie Freeze

Tonight on Dancing With The Stars, the 10 remaining celebrities will commemorate their “Most Memorable Year” by selecting songs that encompass a memorable time or experience in their lives. Last Season’s “Memorable Year” episode earned each celebrity high scores and brought us Amy Purdy’s dramatic routine to Christina Perri’s “Only Human.” The dance celebrated Amy’s father and his selfless gift of one of his kidneys; when bacterial Meningitis cost Amy lost both of her legs, before she learned to walk again, Amy learned to dance in her father’s arms. It was a tear-jerking performance and episode overall, and hopefully this […]

When Reality TV … isn’t

October 5, 2014 Kellie Freeze

After surviving food poisoning, starvation and freezing in the Indian mountains for 21 days, Phaedra Brothers never thought the biggest challenge she’d face on Naked and Afraid would come when she got home. To call Phaedra Brothers a survivor is an understatement. “My parents were very interested in any lifestyle that was different from the norm,” she revealed to me in a phone interview that was so engrossing we spoke for nearly an hour. “As a child I was raised in environments where there was no running water, no electricity, no modern conveniences and we lived out of tents most […]

“R.L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour” Returns To Hub Network.

October 2, 2014 Kellie Freeze

HUB Network’s Emmy Award Winning program R.L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour returns on October 4 with back to back episodes that feature two of TV’s most powerful teen actors. The Haunting Hour is based on the book series from beloved children’s author R.L. Stine, so while this series may be too scary for young TV watchers, it offers the right creep-factor for braver kids and tweens. My 5 year-old has gleefully watched episodes of the series by peeking through his fingers, but my sensitive 7 year-old gets goosebumps even hearing the mention of R.L. Stine. Perhaps parents should watch this […]

7 Questions With … Caroline Manzo

October 2, 2014 Kellie Freeze

Caroline Manzo became one of The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s best-loved Bravo-lebrities with her outspokenness and fierce devotion to her family. Now, the fiery redhead has her own show, Manzo’d With Children (Premiering Sunday at 9pm ET with back-to-back episodes). Manzo laughs when asked if there will be any similarities to Housewives: “it’s apples and oranges,” she says. “Housewives was based on drama, this show has a fair amount of, I’ll say “predicaments,” but there’s always a resolution and we do it, “our way,” as a family.” Caroline took time from taping the show, helping plan daughter Lauren’s wedding, […]

October 2, 2014 Kellie Freeze

Fans of reality television first met Caroline Manzo on The Real Housewives of New Jersey and fell in love with her outspokenness and fierce protection of (and sometimes rivalry with) her family members. But Manzo never foresaw her fame as a reality personality. “When I got hired for Housewives, I thought, ‘I’m going to do one season and they’re going to kick my ass off because what do I have to offer?’” Fortunately, Bravo knows best and now Manzo is back, starring in her own show. Manzo’d With Children follows the matriarch, her husband Al and their three adult children […]

September 26, 2014 Kellie Freeze

Allison Holker is one of the new pros on Season 19 of Dancing With The Stars, but this isn’t the first time that she has performed on a major stage.
