September 14, 2012 Lori Acken

Life coach — and Oprah Winfrey favorite — Iyanla Vanzant will launch her new OWN series Iyanla: Fix My Life this weekend with a frank and insightful conversation with Evelyn Lozada, the former Basketball Wives star whose July 4 marriage to Miami Dolphin and Dancing with the Stars favorite Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson collapsed barely one month later when he was arrested for physically assaulting her. In the revealing two-part discussion, Iyanla delves into Lozada’s difficult past to uncover the source of her lifelong pain and wavering confidence — then provides her tools to recognize what true love looks like and move on with […]

Mark Cuban “Shark Tank” exclusive: new season features more fights, intensity

September 14, 2012 Tom Comi

ABC’s Shark Tank would obviously not be successful without the creative and not-so-creative inventions showcased every week, but one particular shark has been lurking in the water for some time and plans to emerge to give the show some much-needed bite. Of course we are referring to the affable yet downright cutthroat Mark Cuban, the billionaire owner of the NBA franchise Dallas Mavericks and chairman of AXS TV (in addition to countless other ventures). Cuban has emerged as a star on Shark Tank (season premiere tonight at 8pmET), and much of that has to do with how he engages with […]

September 13, 2012 Jeff Pfeiffer

One of the busiest men in show biz, Mario Lopez, hosts yet another series with the debut of Mario Lopez: One-On-One tonight, Sept. 13, at 8pm ET/PT on nuvoTV. In the series, Lopez sits down with some of his best friends, who happen to be among the biggest Latino superstars in sports and entertainment. The press release says that Lopez “isn’t pitching softball questions,” but there probably won’t be many unhittable curves, either, we’re guessing. In tonight’s premiere episode, Lopez chats with New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez, who is coming off a big game last Sunday as his team […]

September 12, 2012 Lori Acken

And here we are, the Dance Moms Season 2 finale. Everybody OK? Extra thermoses of Mommy Juice, just in case? Just remember, we still have each other. We’ll be all right. The mommies need time off, too, to see their therapists and shop for dresses and junk like that. We’ll all be fine. But first we have 90 minutes of cliff-hangin’, nationals-goin’, everybody’s-cryin’ mayhem to get through. So let’s. After hollering at everyone for being a big bucket of meh at In10sity, Abby informs the Pitt Crew that, nonetheless, we are staying in California. In fact, we are heading for […]

“Long Island Medium” season 3 recaps for “Homecoming” and “A Medium Surprise”

September 10, 2012 Barb Oates

She’s baaack!!! Long Island Medium Theresa Caputo returned for a third season last night with two back-to-back new episodes: “Homecoming” and “A Medium Surprise.” Season 3 of Long Island Medium (TLC Sundays at 9pm ET/PT) features 16 new episodes, which means the Kleenex box at my house will now be part of my coffee table arrangement for the next eight-plus weeks. Initially, “Homecoming” lacked the natural conversational feel of the Caputo household, and instead felt more scripted and forced versus their usual fly-by-the-seat-of-their-pants diatribes and annoyances, but it eventually came together. Theresa carrying on about Larry Jr. coming home from […]

September 7, 2012 Lori Acken

Television critics gathered at the TCA Summer Press Tour got their first peek at Amish youth in the big city weeks before TLC premieres Breaking Amish, its newest “alternative lifestyle” reality offering, Sunday night at 10/9CT.
