Cory Booker to appear on Sunday’s “Oprah’s Next Chapter”

May 24, 2012 Lori Acken

Newark, New Jersey, mayor Cory Booker — a much-loved figure in the Democratic party who came under fire when his strong remarks about the negative tone about the presidential campaign on last Sunday’s Meet The Press were interpreted as disparaging to President Obama — visits with Oprah Winfrey on this Sunday’s Oprah’s Next Chapter. Winfrey traveled to Newark just days after Booker — long regarded as a hero in his community for making his home in the inner city and patrolling its most dangerous streets to encourage young men and women to rise above their circumstances — made headlines when he risked […]

Kathy Griffin says celebs need not apply for a spot on her new Bravo talk show

April 18, 2012 StayTuned Staff

A Kathy Griffin talk show without celebrities? Sounds a bit like baking a pie and forgetting the crust, no? Well, the doyenne of the D-List — and frequent scourge of the A-List — isn’t completely shutting out famous faces from Kathy, her new Bravo gabfest that premieres April 19. Just don’t look for them sitting next to her. Hard as this is to imagine, Griffin told me she would feel encumbered with celebrities surrounding her, actually having to worry about hurting someone’s feelings or, God forbid, listening to someone promote their latest whatever. She favors having her friends and family […]

April 9, 2012 Tom Comi

It’s probably safe to assume that Glee fans are going to experience an incredible amount of glee this week, as the popular show not only returns to FOX after a brief hiatus but also gets the star treatment on Bravo and BIO Channel. The musical drama/comedy rejoins the FOX lineup Tuesday night (8pm ET) with an episode entitled “Big Brother,” which features the seniors ditching class to attend an amusement park.

There was a giant elephant on the set of the Today Show this morning, and Matt Lauer and Ryan Seacrest finally got together publicly to talk about it. For those not paying attention, there have been major rumors circulating that the American Idol host could be next in line to replace the morning show anchor should he not renew his expiring contract this year. It should be noted upfront that Lauer and Seacrest are social outside of their respective jobs, so much of the interview came across as two buddies having a conversation over a beer. And even though laughter […]

Rosie O’Donnell’s canceled show on OWN reignites Trump feud

March 19, 2012 Tom Comi

Just when you thought the greatest feud ever witnessed on television was long over, Donald Trump jump-started it today by gleefully pouncing on the news that Rosie O’Donnell’s daily talk show on OWN was being canceled by Oprah Winfrey. The Rosie Show seemed doomed from the start when it debuted less than a year ago to 500,000 viewers — a far cry from the huge ratings she used to get with her previously syndicated show. Despite a complete overhaul with a more intimate set, the number of viewers plunged by more than half before Winfrey had no choice but to […]
