Dance Moms Season 5 episode 22 recap: Little Miss Loose Cannon

June 30, 2015 Lori Acken

Welcome back, big bunch of losers that we are, Dance Moms nation. But at least we get a peek at the brand new studio — or the mass of cement and beams that passes for the new studio. But Abby says it will be our fully completed home in just three short weeks. Uh huh. Will too. Let’s get down to business. Which is, for the most part, that we’re a big bunch of losers and it’s probably going to cost Abby business. OK, Mack is not a total loser. She’s on set filming the Nick series Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & […]

June 26, 2015 Kellie Freeze

Get out your dancing flip-flops and get ready to boogie! Tonight, Disney Channel’s brightest young stars go back to the beach in Teen Beach 2! In the next chapter to the 2013 smash, Teen Beach Movie, modern-day teens Brady (Ross Lynch) and Mack (Maia Mitchell) get a real world visit from their retro surfer and biker pals from the beach party film within a film, West Side Story. I chatted with Mollee Gray who returns to her role as sunny surfette Giggles and Ross Butler who joins the cast as brainy hunk, Spencer and both shared amazing stories about their time shooting […]

Dance Moms Season 5 episode 21 recap: Yer a regular livin’ doll

June 23, 2015 Lori Acken

Welcome back, Dance Moms nation. I am pleased to report that my screener is complete with intact persons this go ’round, so no lobotomy humor, I’m afraid. But we did get the LA version of the Welcome to Ohio sign (and a freaky caption), so that’s nice. A little bland, what with no cows and yard waste and what have you, but we’ll take what we can get. We start out with light hearted moments with the girls taking their loss in stride and congratulating Mack on her victory over Maddie last week. After playfully tussling with her little sister, Mads […]

Dance Moms Season 5 episode 20 recap: Return of the Mack (Oh My God!)

June 16, 2015 Lori Acken

Man, Tuesdays come around fast, don’t they Dance Moms nation? But we ended last week on a win, so maybe this week will finally be California sunshiney for a change? Yes? No. We don’t even make it into 3rd Street Dance before we’re comparing Abby to a big ol’ baby who doesn’t handle transition well. Well, I suppose. If the bootie fits. But anyway. And furthering my theory that Abby is a wily hostage of the DM producers and is going to make them pay but good for that, when Jill expresses surprise that she’s actually in the studio when […]

Sprout’s Chica takes on “Game of Thrones”

June 15, 2015 Kellie Freeze

Sprout knows that parents are often asleep loooong before the grownup stuff comes on TV. And once I’ve missed the first few seasons of a hit show, will there ever be enough hours for me to catch up? Thankfully, in celebration of last night’s very grown-up Game of Thrones season finale, Sprout’s beloved Chica has released her own take on the award-winning series. Check out the clever chicken — she makes an impressive Daenerys Targaryen — as she and a pal play “Game of Phones,” “Game of Stones,” and “Game of Tones.” This may be the only way I’ll ever have time […]

Dance Moms Season 5 episode 19 recap: I got 99 problems (but this itch ain’t one)

June 9, 2015 Lori Acken

Well that was a short-lived respite, wasn’t it Dance Moms nation? What did everyone do with their Lonely Tuesday? According to Lifetime, tonight’s is actually episode 517, but I’ve done 18 recaps even before this bugger — and not counting the specials — so if everyone could kindly just march along to the beat of my episode-count drummer so we all stay on the same parade route, I’d be grateful. We cool? Good. So anyway, ALDC L.A. starts today! Well, kind of. Everyone is in L.A. , but we’re still squatting at 3rd St. Dance. Jill says Abby is a big […]

Interview With “Max & Shred” star Jake Goodman

June 4, 2015 Kellie Freeze

As Season 2 of Max & Shred films in Toronto, I had a chance to chat with the YTV/ Nickelodeon series stars, Jake Goodman and Jonny Gray, who play Alvin “Shred” Ackerman and Max Asher, respectively. Both actors are consummate professionals — dedicating lots of time to their craft — but they’re also regular kids who study hard in school and love to have fun when they’re not shooting. Jake and I chatted about his early start in the ‘biz and some of the fun that goes on behind the scenes with his costars. He and Jonny also each answered 7 […]
