Though a glut of early press breathlessly accused Work It, which premieres tonight at 8:30pm, of insensitivity to transgenders, Nolasco and Koldyke defend the series as nothing more harmful than their predecessors in pantyhose, including Hanks, Dustin Hoffman and Some Like It Hot hotties Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon.

To Guy Fieri, Rachael Ray is more than a longtime Food Network colleague and fellow food TV superstar — she’s family. Family he is looking forward to beating the (pots and) pans off when the duo’s new six-week series Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off begins on January 1. “This is more like a sibling rivalry,” Fieri laughs, “because here you have two people — although we’re not from the same family — there are tremendous amounts of the same thoughts on life. Love people. Love competition. Love food. Love pushing the limits.” Rachael vs. Guy pits Fieri against Ray to […]
“A year ago, I was sitting on my porch with a Flip camera talking about how crazy my dance studio is,” laughs Christi Lukasiak, cuddling her toddler daughter Clara while on break from shooting a brand-new episode of the runaway Lifetime reality hit Dance Moms. “A year later, we’re on national television and heading into our second season!” • MORE: Lifetime announces plans for Dance Moms: Miami Fans recognize the bold, blond thirtysomething as unofficial leader of the posse of four put-upon mothers united by their daughters’ training at the nationally known, Pittsburgh-based Abby Lee Dance Company — and the […]
By Lori Acken Follow @ChannelGuideLLA So much for my “Anne in third” prognostication. But Alex and Geoffrey are still in the running, so there’s that. Except now I think I’m starting to waffle on the whole of my prognostication and wonder if it might actually be Falkner and Chiarello in the final and Geoffrey Z at number three. I know a bit of what Alex and Geoffrey have coming up in the next couple months. Elizabeth and Michael, not so much. In any case, after their adventures in auctioneering last week, life’s beach for the four remaining rival chefs — […]

Twenty-four-year-old property manager Jane wants her outdoor wedding to actor Chad to transport guests to rural Tuscany. But her skewed vision of Italian splendor — bright orange bridesmaid dresses, oriental lanterns and gold beads from the Christmas clearance rack — coupled with multiple job losses force David to work overtime to bring Tuscany to SoCal. “I’ve been to Italy a lot,” David says. “There ain’t no fuchsia and orange anywhere!” • MORE: Channel Guide’s exclusive interview with David Tutera New episodes of “My Fair Wedding” air Sunday nights at 9pm on WE tv. Be part of the festivities by joing […]
Can I just real quick point out that we’re on Episode 6 and not one of the ladies has been booted from Super Chef island? Which alternately makes me proud as punch and nervous as hell, because one would imagine that it is time. I get that this isn’t like a multitude of other reality competition series where the editors can fiddle the outcome, but still. Law of averages. The universe. Stuff like that. But you have to hand it to Alex, Anne and Elizabeth — they were outnumbered 7-3 and only Geoffrey Zakarian and Michael Chiarello remain to cook […]
For almost all of his 61 years, Les Gold has known exceptionally well the value of a dollar. And just about everything else. The owner of Detroit’s internationally famous pawn megamart American Jewelry & Loan — and star of truTV’s Tuesday night hit Hardcore Pawn — says he made his very first sale (a hydraulic jack) at age seven while “working” at his granddad’s shop. As hardcore Hardcore fans know, that store — Sam’s Loan Office — would go on to become the Golds’ sprawling 50,000-ft store. And the charismatic Gold and his children Seth and Ashley would become the best-known […]
It’s a tale told by many a chef — how they learned their craft at the knee of a family elder. Not Roblé Ali. Though his grandfather was, indeed, a caterer who once cooked for JFK, Roblé — consulting chef at New York City’s celebrity hotspot Avenue and star of Bravo’s new docuseries Chef Roblé & Co. — says what he learned from his family is that he likes to eat. And eat well. “A light bulb went off in my head one day that, ‘Hey, if I want to eat the way that I want to eat all the time, […]
