Jonas Brothers Star In Disney’s “Camp Rock”

June 30, 2008 Barb Oates

JoBros fans have less than a month to wait until the worldwide premiere of Disney Channel‘s Camp Rock, a music-filled movie starring Joe, Nick and Kevin Jonas, and a slew of other Disney stars. The film’s premise is a bit Dirty Dancing meets Cinderella, where an arrogant musician (played by Joe Jonas) meets a talented yet unsure young singer named Mitchie (played by Demi Lovato). They struggle to fit in, ultimately learning to believe in themselves and to be who they really want to be. The film airs June 20 on Disney Channel, June 21 on ABC and June 22 […]

The Two Coreys: Career Moves and Making Amends

June 30, 2008 StayTuned Staff

It’s another week, and we’ve got two more episodes of The Two Coreys to dissect. “Career Moves” begins with Corey Haim trying to get his career back on track. Wait, hasn’t he been here before? OK, that was a lame excuse to show a video most of us have already seen, but does it ever really get old? Anyway, Haim can’t get work without a publicist and he can’t get a publicist, he thinks, without an assistant — so he sets out to hire a personal assistant to make a few calls on his behalf. Based on his phone conversations […]

Morgan Spurlock: “30 Days” In The Life

June 28, 2008 StayTuned Staff

For such a politically charged show, Morgan Spurlock does his best to keep his personal feelings a mystery when it comes to 30 Days. The documentary series that takes the axiom of “walk a mile in another man’s shoes” to new lengths — 30 days, to be exact — returns for its long-delayed third season June 3 on FX. This season’s episodes include a gun-control proponent living with a pistol-packing family, a same-sex couple and their adopted children hosting a woman opposed to gay rights, a former NFL player spending time in a wheelchair, and an avid hunter moving in […]

Swingtown: Janet Meets Alice B. Toklas

June 27, 2008 StayTuned Staff

By Elaine B Funny how you post a recipe (or write it on a wall) and women start commenting on it. Possibly, it’s in our genes. Men hunt. Women gather. Men bring home large hunks of meat. Women start up the fire. That didn’t even change after women realized they could “bring home the bacon, and fry it up in a pan and …” well, you know the rest of the line. Women, for the most part, are still the organizers of nearly all social events except their own surprise parties (and a smart hubby will consult his wife’s closest […]

Wild, Wild World of Animals (July 2008)

June 27, 2008 Jeff Pfeiffer

Posted by RabbitEars This month’s premieres and new episodes that may be of interest to you animal lovers: Greatest American Dog — CBS, July 10. This new reality competition series pits 12 teams of dogs and owners from across the country against each other in challenges that test the dogs, and perhaps the people even more, as they must prove their ability to have their pet effectively trained. Like many other reality shows, these teams will also be living together. If you think things got pretty chaotic in The Real World households, try putting 12 pooches in the same living […]

Wipeout: Apocalypse Now!

June 26, 2008 Jill Klitz

There are two things I realized Tuesday night as I watched the premiere of Wipeout, the show where contestants tackle obstacle courses that are, according to ABC’s website, “grueling and physically demanding but wildly hilarious”: 1. My husband will never tire of watching people get hurt. He loves any show whose title contains a phrase such as “funniest videos,” “outrageous videos” or “whacked-out videos.” When Wipeout started, he grabbed his plate from the dinner table and ate while standing in the middle of the family room, so he could get a better look at all the people getting hurt. If […]

June 26, 2008 Ryan Berenz

Posted by Cubicle QB FSN has been on a roll lately with its original programs, with Sport Science and Amazing Sports Stories, and now the announcement of Baseball’s Golden Age premiering July 6 at 8pm (local time). Baseball’s Golden Age uses recently discovered color home movies from the 1920s-1960s to tell the stories of some of the game’s biggest legends — Ruth, Cobb, Williams, Mays, Aaron — and their incomparable feats on the field. Each 30-minute episode contains remarkable rare shots and never-before-seen footage from films shot by fans, players’ families and the players themselves. Each episode includes interviews with […]

Nashville Star: Week Three Recap

June 24, 2008 StayTuned Staff

Pop goes country this week on Nashville Star, which means one thing — backup dancers! Just what every self-respecting country singer needs. Speaking of country singers, two of them are asked to step to the front of the stage at the very start of the show. One of them is safe this week, the other is in the Bottom 2. Since the producers don’t even want to try and trick us, those two singers are Tommy Stanley and Gabe Garcia. Gabe ain’t Bottom 2 material, so he’ll be the first to perform this week, right after a group version of […]

The Two Coreys: Showdown and Couples Therapy

June 23, 2008 StayTuned Staff

Posted by Mike The last time we saw the Coreys, this happened. As a result, as we head into the Season 2 premieres of A&E’s The Two Coreys (we get two episodes this week, “Showdown” and “Couples Therapy”), the Felddog and the Haimster haven’t seen each other in six months. Seriously, if Congress has time to investigate Roger Clemens and the steroids issue in baseball, surely it could have intervened to get the Coreys back together. Fortunately, we have reality TV to once again step in where government has failed us. “Showdown” begins with Haim returning to Los Angeles from […]

My Boys “Dinner Party”

June 23, 2008 StayTuned Staff

Posted by Dizzy Miss Lizzy After a frightening dream where PJ finds herself still single at 80 years old and still hanging out with the guys, she agrees to host a singles’ dinner party. Each single friend brings another single friend and romance ensues. Well, that’s the theory. PJ invites the boys and focuses attention on the fact that they are all single. Maybe they should be trying a little harder to get out there and date more. At the same time, Andy hires a hot Swedish nanny and all the boys are beside themselves. They leap with joy through […]
