May 8, 2015 Lori Acken

TLC’s The Little Couple returns with brand-new episodes on May 26 — and things are looking up for the Arnold-Klein clan. In the season premiere, Bill’s back surgery is now six weeks behind him and even though he is still in significant pain, the devoted dad admits he may be bending doctor’s orders a bit to keep his kids (and himself) amused. He and Jen make a trek back to New York for a checkup with Dr. Farmer and enjoy some much welcomed couple time when the visit proves a success. Meanwhile, Jen is two years cancer-free and juggling work, caring for the kids and […]

Married At First Sight – Season 2, Episode 1 Recap

March 18, 2015 StayTuned Staff

Season 2 of Married at First Sight premiered last night, after its hourlong matchmaking special, and as I predicted I’d be, I’m hooked. We met the experts and the subjects in the matchmaking special, and we see them all again in the premiere episode. The premiere episode, especially toward the beginning, is filled with interactions between the subjects and the love/sex experts, but I won’t go too heavy into that. I covered who’s who, as far as the experts go, in yesterday’s blog, so let’s take a look at the new couples! Ryan De Nino & Jessica Castro Ryan D., age 29, business […]

March 17, 2015 Lori Acken

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Dance Moms nation. If you’re not out there getting your corned beef and cabbage on, grab a green beer and let’s talk about what happened tonight. We start in the Dancers’ Den where everyone is pretty cheery about beating the Candy Apples and what it might mean for pyramid. OK, almost everyone. Let’s get her mind off her troubles and ask Jo Jo what she thought of Cathy, which should be entertaining. Jo Jo was expecting a little crazy, but she got THIS crazy instead. Huh. It doesn’t appear to be the answer Melissa was expecting. Or maybe […]

Married at First Sight Season 2 Premieres Tonight on A&E!

March 17, 2015 StayTuned Staff

When Married at First Sight first premiered last year, it was barely on my radar. I remember hearing a friend gush about how great the show was, but I was busy licking the wounds of being newly-widowed, and the concept of the show made me angry. I couldn’t comprehend how anyone could be so flippant about love, and more so, about marriage. To marry someone you’ve never even met? How irresponsible. How cheap. How … how could anyone do that? So I wrote it off, and forgot all about it. But the wounds slowly healed over, and eventually I threw […]

What Going On With E!’s Fashion Police?

March 13, 2015 Kellie Freeze

Things are not looking good for E!’s Fashion Police, which has been on the air since 2010. In another major scandal to rock the program in a few weeks, co-host Kathy Griffin has exited the program after only 7 episodes. The comedian was brought in to follow in the footsteps of her good friend and mentor Joan Rivers, whose September, 2014 devastated the show. Griffin revealed her departure in a Twitter statement saying in part…. When I chose to step into the shoes of my beloved friend Joan Rivers at Fashion Police, I was thrilled to continue her legacy as a […]

Dance Moms Season 5 episode 10 recap: Upsettin’ the Apple cart and robbin’ the cradle

March 10, 2015 Lori Acken

First of all, Dance Moms nation, I’m sorry for botching the blog post six ways from Sunday last week. Bad case of the donna-mos, I guess. I’m back on track, I swear. We open with Gia at the front desk greeting dancers and mothers, including Ashlee and Brynn. Yay! Ashlee’s back! Ain’t that right, Jill? Right. Everyone’s in shades of green as we gather for pyramid and Abby’s bangs are in fine form…because I know you’d want to know. Bottom of the bottom is Nia, because her dance was dumb and Abby’s knows it and that wasn’t Nia’s fault. Then […]
