The Memory Book Opens on Hallmark Movie Channel July 26

When you comb through a bin of swap meet finds, have you ever wondered about the items’ past owners? Love-wary photographer Chloe (Meghan Ory) stumbles upon an old photo album chronicling the perfect love of a young couple from the 1970s. “Life has taught her that you can’t trust love and you’re really better off just trusting yourself. She loves her friends and her art and that’s enough for her,” says Ory. But suddenly, Chloe’s art is no longer enough; inspired by and skeptical of the images of the couple in the album, she vows to find them and learn their […]

Dating Naked Recap: Episode 2, Steven and Taryn

Oh Dating Naked, you’re fun. You remind me of college days when I’d drink too much and make poor choices. You’re that kind of show. The show where the contestants will likely sit around the TV with their friends and family and be supremely embarrassed that there were cameras around to catch their late night actions. And even for the participants who don’t make asses of themselves, there are enough cameras that if your date involves anything remotely physical, there is the potential for multiple angles of awkwardly splayed legs revealing parts of your outside that might be considered your […]

Interview: Christy McGinty from “Little Women: LA”

As a result of Lifetime’s Little Women: LA, Christy McGinty is on her way to becoming a household name. Her brashness and honesty has made her a fan favorite and a focus of much of the show’s drama. In the show’s premiere episode, Christy was introduced with the quote, “if you don’t like me, I have no time for you,” and she’s remained true to her word. As longtime friendships have become strained, she’s fearlessly moved forward in her search for her own happiness.

Christy took time from her schedule to answer our 7 Questions… 1. You’re at a […]

Naked And Afraid Nicaragua Recap: Season 3, Episode 4

After last week’s tension-filled episode of Naked and Afraid, I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen next. That was a pretty disastrous couple, (but it made for great TV). I can’t believe the number of critical comments about survivalists Carrie. Her partner Tom was both praised for his patience and scrutinized for both his unwillingness to snuggle and his single-minded concern for firewood. This week, the folks at Discovery have teased a possible romance between the two participants. If there is any romance between Jaclyn and Adam, I bet it will be pretty PG. This is Naked and […]
