The film explores women’s under-representation in positions of power by challenging their limited and often disparaging portrayals in the media. Miss Representation takes the stand […]
Even though Dance Moms’ domineering diva Abby Lee Miller swore to Reality TV World that the production company for the jaw-dropper hit auditioned moms only and the kids came aboard untested, today her co-star Christi Lukasiak tweeted a link to what she says is Chloe’s (perfectly adorable) audition tape for the series: • MORE: Read Channel Guide’s exclusive interview with Dance Mom Christi Lukasiak!
By Lori Acken Follow @ChannelGuideLLA After a brutal season of medical scares, financial ups-and-downs and relationship crises and more, tonight’s Season 2 finale of Downsized (9pm on WE tv) seems to usher in a time of fresh starts for some members of the Bruce-Rumsey family. • MORE: Did Season 2 go the way the Bruce’s planned?

By Lori Acken Follow @ChannelGuideLLA With legendary Supernanny Jo Frost now retired from naughty steps, passy fairies and the stay-in-bed technique to focus on a family of her own, Lifetime has decided it’s time America had a brand new tot-tamer.

By Lori Acken Follow @ChannelGuideLLA When I was a kid, he was the scariest guy in the scariest band my Starland-Vocal-Band-loving heart could imagine. When I got to college and snapped out of it, he was my favorite actor in my favorite film (KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park; my roommate and I split the cost of the VHS tape). In 2006, he became the most endearingly warped Ward Cleaver-in-monster-boots reality dad on TV, courtesy of A&E’s docu-series Gene Simmons Family Jewels that spotlighted the home life and adventures of the surprisingly sage Simmons, his long-looooong-time girlfriend former Playboy Playmate Shannon Tweed, […]

By Lori Acken Follow @ChannelGuideLLA I’m still not completely recovered from last week’s watermelon trebuchet and drinking pee on Mars … but, happily, it’s time for two new episodes of NatGeo’s laugh-and-learn hit Rocket City Rednecks to teach me something new. And this time, we don’t want to go in search of life on other planets — we just want to talk.
By Lori Acken Follow @ChannelGuideLLA Yes, Alton Brown knows how sad you are about the impending end of Good Eats, his long running, game-changing Food Network megahit. He hears about it at each performance of his month-long Good Eats 3: The Later Years book tour, which has him cracking up — and educating — audiences in different cities across the country nearly every evening in October. But rest assured, lovers of Brown’s acerbic wit, large vocabulary and quirky sense of narrative — you haven’t seen the last of him. Not by a long shot. “My wife is the president of our company […]
