June 4, 2010 Ryan Berenz

By Lori Acken For two successful seasons, party planner to the stars David Tutera has been wowing brides with bum wedding plans — and TV viewers who can’t resist a Cinderella ending — on his WE tv sensation, My Fair Wedding With David Tutera. For the third season, premiering Sunday, June 6, at 10pm ET (following the Season 7 premiere of the network’s signature series Bridezillas), Tutera is leaving the metro New York area that he calls home and taking the show on the road. “I’m very excited that we’re traveling for this season — two weddings in Dallas and […]

Where to watch the 2010 Belmont Stakes

June 4, 2010 Ryan Berenz

By Ryan Berenz Forgive us if we lack excitement about this year’s Belmont Stakes. Not only is there no Triple Crown winner this year, but Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver and Preakness winner Lookin At Lucky are skipping the race. So who’s left? How about Dave in Dixie (20-1) jockeyed by Calvin Borel? Or how about trainer Nick Zito’s Ice Box (3-1) or Fly Down (9-2)? Sure. Makes no nevermind to me. ABC sort of takes a gamble every year they broadcast this race, hoping the Triple Crown will be at stake. They’ve been lucky at lot the past few […]

TCM’s Eastwood movie marathon and new doc celebrate Clint’s 80th birthday

May 27, 2010 Jeff Pfeiffer

He’s made our day, many times over the years, with dozens of memorable, if not classic, films in which he has starred or directed — or both (and in some cases also served as the composer of music scores). Now, Clint Eastwood is getting his own day on TCM when the movie network devotes 24 hours of programming to the works of the Oscar-winning actor and filmmaker. The celebration airs this Monday, May 31 (Eastwood’s 80th birthday), beginning at 6am ET. At the center of the marathon is the world television premiere of The Eastwood Factor, a new documentary written […]

Back to the “Futurama” — Billy West interview

May 26, 2010 Jeff Pfeiffer

By Jeff Pfeiffer Never underestimate the ability of fans to influence the decisions of entertainment powers-that-be in this age of the Internet and DVD sales. They were effective enough to get new episodes of Family Guy made, and now they have scored another coup by being a major force behind the return of Matt Groening’s Futurama, which begins its sixth season June 24 on Comedy Central, after unceremoniously disappearing from FOX seven years ago (but continuing in an unofficial “season” via a series of successful direct-to-DVD movies over the years). “[The fans] never let up,” says star Billy West, who […]

TNT’s marathon of memorable “Law & Order” episodes marks series finale

May 21, 2010 Jeff Pfeiffer

By Jeff Pfeiffer Nonstop episodes of Law & Order on TNT? Sounds like a typical weekend, doesn’t it? In this case, though, the network will be airing some of the series’ most memorable episodes in a special marathon to mark the occasion of it coming to an end after 20 years. In case you haven’t heard, NBC has decided to cancel the flagship show (but to keep Law & Order: SVU and pick up the new spinoff Law & Order: Los Angeles, lamely shortened to LOLA), and Monday, May 24, will be its final episode.
