July 10, 2013 Jeff Pfeiffer

Boston Marathon bombing survivor Jeff Bauman met with NBC News’ Brian Williams for his first television interview since the attack nearly three months ago that cost Bauman both of his legs above the knee. Bauman had been at the finish line of the race to cheer on his girlfriend at the time of the blasts, and is now learning to walk again on prostheses. In the interview, Jeff Bauman tells Brian Williams that he remembers seeing Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev at the finish line and provided a description of him to authorities, including the backpack he says Tamerlan […]

“Beware the Batman” offers new take on the Dark Knight

July 10, 2013 Jeff Pfeiffer

With a popular, long-running character such as Batman, it’s always possible to reinvent and reinterpret him in various ways — from a campy crusader to a grim protector; from a straight-up hero to a conflicted, nuanced avenger; and everything in between. Several of these variations seem to have been combined in the new animated series Beware the Batman, premiering July 13 on Cartoon Network as part of its Saturday morning “DC Nation” block. Given its time slot and apparent aim toward a more youthful audience, Beware the Batman does not get overly bleak and scary, at least from what I’ve […]

Adam Richman examines the art of the tailgate party in Travel Channel’s “Fandemonium”

July 10, 2013 Lori Acken

He’s hunted down America’s most gut-busting food challenges, sought its best sandwiches — and now Adam Richman is ready to party. For his newest series, Adam Richman’s Fandemonium, the popular Travel Channel host crisscrosses the nation, immersing himself in its most unique tailgate bashes — those time-honored, uniquely American parking-lot parties that are often as much an event as the events they precede. “There’s a very special magic to being a fan, to being part of something larger than yourself,” Richman says of the idea behind the show. “And especially in this economy, for a family, for anyone, to spend […]

July 9, 2013 StayTuned Staff

Fans of the classic 1995 teen comedy Clueless will want to check out this week’s episode of TV Land’s The Exes. It will reteam series star Donald Faison with guest star Stacey Dash, marking a Clueless reunion of one of the ’90s’ cutest couple Murray and Dionne, who were adorkable before Zooey Deschanel was a blip on the pop culture radar. It’s not the first time the Clueless cast has gotten back together. Last year Faison and Dash joined Alicia Silverstone, Breckin Meyer, Elisa Donovan, Justin Walker and Twink Caplan for an Entertainment Weekly photoshoot and a Good Morning America […]

July 9, 2013 Jeff Pfeiffer

The Television Critics Association (TCA) announced that Comedy Central stars Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, from the hit sketch comedy show Key & Peele, will co-host the 29th Annual TCA Awards Aug. 3 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, an invite-only event. “As professional journalists, we’ve followed the careers of Key and Peele since they broke on to the scene with Mad TV. Based on their comedic work on that show, they immediately caught our attention,” said TCA President Candace Havens. “We’ve noticed how they have honed their trade and elevated their sketches, as the freedom of Comedy Central allows them […]

VOD Spotlight: “The Host”

July 9, 2013 Meredith Ennis

When the film version of Stephenie Meyer’s — author of the Twilight series — bestseller The Host was being developed, producer Nick Wechsler knew that many in the film industry thought it would be difficult, if not impossible, to make a realistic film in which two characters shared one body. Luckily for him, neither he nor neither Meyer (who was directly involved in the making of the film) shared that opinion. “It never seemed like a huge challenge to me or to Nick,” says Meyer. “We figured all we needed was a really fantastic actress.” Wechsler found the person they […]

VOD Spotlight: Admission

July 9, 2013 StayTuned Staff

There’s no doubt that Admission has a lot on its curriculum vitae to make it an attractive candidate. You have the can’t-miss pairing of Tina Fey and Paul Rudd charming their way through an intellectual subject matter based on a literary source (Jean Hanff Korelitz’s novel) all under the auspices of director Paul Weitz, who so ably helmed the similarly toned About a Boy. But, in an issue that goes to the heart of this tricky romantic comedy, full acceptance requires more than a good resumé. Admission has more on its mind than the standard rom-com stuff of meet cutes, […]

Stacy Keibler opens up about Lifetime’s “Supermarket Superstar”

July 8, 2013 StayTuned Staff

About a decade ago, you might not have pegged Stacy Keibler as the host of an amiable food-competition show on Lifetime. Back then she was using her slamming body to body slam her way through WWE Diva-hood, but has since transitioned to slightly less outlandish pursuits: bit parts on TV shows, a third-place finish on Dancing With the Stars, and (until their recent breakup) a constant presence on the arm of A-lister George Clooney. But somehow, as host of Supermarket Superstar, she still ended up eating a cricket. “I’m always up for an experience,” Keibler says. “So when [Chris Cornyn] […]
