The hosts of TLC’s All About Sex talk online dating!

January 22, 2015 Lori Acken

A few weeks ago, I sat down with the hosts of TLC’s new late-night talker All About Sex to chat about the show and what the ladies — actresses Margaret Cho (who recently made a splash at the Golden Globes) and Marissa Jaret Winokur, sex therapist Dr. Tiffanie Davis Henry and Chelsea Lately’s Heather McDonald — might be learning from each other. Soon enough, the discussion turned to online dating and how women of our certain age feel about the ever-evolving age of digital matchmaking. “I love hearing my niece’s stories about Tinder and all this other kind of stuff that I can’t even comprehend,” said McDonald, who […]

January 15, 2015 Barb Oates

Don’t panic as you ask what happened to Discovery Health or Discovery Fit & Health when searching your lineup. The network remains in the same channel number position, it’s just going through a rebranding — something the net has done a few times now since its inception in 1998 going from Discovery Health to Discovery Fit & Health to its newest moniker — Discovery Life Channel. Hyped as a network that offers an unfiltered look at real people in extraordinary situations, Discovery Life Channel will continue to offer its popular medical phenomena-type programming but expand into programming that focuses on […]

January 9, 2015 Lori Acken

Remember when Dr. Ruth and Dr. Sue Johansen made talking about what happens in the bedroom (and sometimes other places … and the stuff we need to know to make it all go well) matter-of-fact, must-see TV?

December 26, 2014 Kellie Freeze

Hallmark’s daytime Emmy-nominated series, Home & Family is always entertaining viewers with its mix of cooking segments, celebrity interviews, DIY projects, musical performances and more. The series is the only lifestyle series on cable to produce a new show every weekday. Now the talk show can add another accomplishment to it’s list: celebrating its 500th episode. I asked Cristina Ferrare and Mark Steines about memorable moments from their first five hundred episodes and about their dynamic chemistry. How does it feel to be about to shoot your 500th episode? Cristina: It’s been 500 episodes of just pure fun! I was […]

Group From “Operation Change” In Matt Nathanson Video

December 8, 2014 Kellie Freeze

I know several people with hearing loss, so any time I see a link for a video of a person hearing for the first time, I watch. It is amazing and inspiring to witness someone’s joy when experiencing something that I take for granted. Around the world, hearing loss is a sentence to silence; in the developing world, something as simple as a trip to an audiologist is an unaffordable expense. Singer Matt Nathanson traveled with the Starkey Hearing Foundation to give the gift of hearing to impoverished people in Lima, Peru. His experience was recorded and became the music […]
