Gold Rush Season 4 is “frickin intense” Todd Hoffman tells us

October 24, 2013 Barb Oates

“It’s going to be the best episode in the history of Gold Rush,” Todd Hoffman tells us of the two-hour Gold Rush Season 4 premiere scheduled for Friday, Oct. 25 at 9pm ET on Discovery. And the premiere is just the beginning of what promises to be the craziest, most dangerous season yet, as Hoffman and his crew headed to the jungles of South America to mine for gold. Discovery is marketing the season as Yukon vs. the Jungle, “the veteran” [Hoffman] vs. “the kid” [Parker Schnabel]. Either way, it’s going to be insane. “The first episode of Gold Rush […]

Project Runway All Stars: We talk with new host Alyssa Milano

October 22, 2013 Lori Acken

Alyssa Milano became a household name as the Who’s the Boss? tomboy who graduated to smoldering roles in nighttime soaps like Melrose Place, Charmed and ABC’s summer hit Mistresses. But it’s her passion for fashion — and a bit of luck — that scored Milano her newest role, helming the third season of Lifetime’s Project Runway All Stars, which premieres Thursday at 9pm ET. “That’s actually a really interesting story — and it just goes to show you that you never know what’s going to happen from something that you do,” Milano explains. “I guest-hosted an episode of Fashion Police […]

Queer Eye for the Straight Guy fans, can you believe it’s been ten years since the show’s “Fab Five” — food guy Ted Allen, grooming guy Kyan Douglas, design guy Thom Filicia, fashion guy Carson Kressley and culture guy Jai Rodriguez — first raced off in their trusty SUV to turn an everyday schlub into a style-savvy gentleman?

Queer Eye Reunion: 10 Years Later will premiere Sunday, Oct. […]

September 20, 2013 Barb Oates

Interview with Shark Tank Lori Greiner, August 2013.

The New Atlanta’s Alexandra Dilworth: “My mom inspired me to be a trophy wife”

September 17, 2013 Lori Acken

The New Atlanta’s Alexandra Dilworth is a proud new graduate of Georgia State’s psychology program — and equally proud that she aspires to be a traditional wife and mom. Which gets her into a little hot water with her costar Emily Lipman in tonight’s premiere episode. Not that it bothers her a bit. “I’m trying to change everyone’s view of ‘trophy wife,’” Dilworth explains. “I hate that people think that it’s a negative thing and a girl who just wants to sit around and look pretty and shop. Think about what a trophy is. Trophies are meant to be polished […]

September 17, 2013 Lori Acken

Yes, Emily Lipman is the beautiful blond fireball taking castmate Alexandra Dilworth to task for her “trophy wife” aspirations in the premiere episode of Bravo’s The New Atlanta. But, as viewers will soon discover, Lipman’s drive to succeed and wring the most from every moment of her life more comes from a very personal and emotional place. “I actually graduated with a sports management degree,” explains the owner of Atlanta’s 3-year-old Raw Denim Boutique. “I had a couple friends pass away in [the] Haiti [earthquake], and at that point in time I was working for a sports management company and […]

Tribble Reese: From ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ to ‘The New Atlanta’

September 17, 2013 Lori Acken

If The New Atlanta star Tribble Reese looks familiar, it’s likely that you are either an avid college football fan or a sucker for Sweet Home Alabama, CMT’s countrified take on The Bachelor. A former standout quarterback for Clemson University and Charleston University, Reese [Tribble is his middle name and his mom’s maiden name] spent two seasons looking for love on the popular series, and now focuses his energies on his Atlanta-based event management company, Team America Promotions.
