Life Below Zero Returns to NatGeo April 17

April 17, 2014 Kellie Freeze

For most families, preparing for winter includes putting away the patio furniture and buying a new shovel. For the Alaskans on NatGeo’s second season of Life Below Zero (returning Thursday, April 17 at 9pmET/PT), winter preparations are much more extreme. The season 2 trailer is almost as intense as the real show; when you live in Alaska, there is no margin for error, and every decision seems like it is life or death. I have so much respect for anyone who calls Alaska’s isolated and unforgiving back country, home. Each of the real people/families highlighted in this series are waging […]

“Orphan Black’s” Felix (Jordan Gavaris) talks Season 2

April 16, 2014 Barb Oates

We’re five minutes into screening an action-fueled start to Season 2 of Orphan Black, returning to BBC America Saturday, April 19, and amid all the chaos of Kira and Mrs. S missing and Sarah’s (Tatiana Maslany) world falling apart, in enters the lovably flamboyant Felix (Jordan Gavaris) and some great new chaps. Hilarious! Somehow Gavaris failed to mention that scene when I met up with him earlier this year to talk about the hit series and his character Felix (a.k.a. Fee), who provides much of the series’ comic relief. “I’m not as funny as Felix,” Gavaris confesses. “I’m not anywhere […]

April 16, 2014 Lori Acken

In 2007, fortysomething single mom Sandy was battling the isolation and depression that stemmed from her recent divorce and the lingering effects of a car crash when she logged on to a poker web site and met handsome Texan “Keith.” The two began chatting regularly, first online and then over the phone, where their friendship quickly blossomed into the kind of Cinderella story lonely Sandy longed for. There was just one problem. After six years of only speaking to her love online and on the phone — and sending him tens of thousands of dollars to help him through what […]

Buy a Groupon, Meet Brad Pitt

April 16, 2014 Kellie Freeze

UPDATE (4/25): Brad Pitt has just released a video encouraging people to make $10 donations for the Groupon Grassroots Campaign Sweepstakes. It is worth watching because except for one lucky winner (and Angelina Jolie) this is the closest many of us will get to Mr. So-Hot-I-Could-Swoon. Check the vid below. Re-watch as needed. When brad says “Click Below,” he means here. Groupon is where I go to find deals on restaurants and manicures, but now, you can buy a Groupon to meet Brad Pitt (and help his charity, Make It Right.) For the lucky few with a little extra cash […]

Dance Moms Season 4 Episode 16 recap: The mother(s) of all midseason finales

April 15, 2014 Lori Acken

It’s the Season 4 Midseason finale, Dance Moms Nation and that means it’s time for the much-discussed new team. And the new mothers. Well, sort of new. One gave us a special little taste of her tact and refinement — and brought out the best in Melissa — last week. Another we met a month or so ago in Michigan. And another isn’t new to Kira at all. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. We start out on a somber note, because the show has finally caught up to Maryen Lorrain’s Feb. 8 death. As each Pitt Crew mother-daughter […]

Because Bill wants to make sure she doesn’t overextend herself, the couple packs up the kids and makes a family adventure of the journey. And when Jen is done with her professional duties, […]
