Richard Blais on Hungry Games: “I’m learning more as a chef!”

It’s October — the burnished gold, bonfire-scented heart of autumn. So odds are pretty good you’re gobbling up anything you can get your hands on that’s all about the apples or labeled “Pumpkin Spice.” Even if, if you ask me, 90 percent of the latter tastes more like drugstore aftershave than anything related to actual pumpkin seasonings. So what is it about the mere mention of fall that makes us crave all things sweetly spicy. What is it that makes us crave anything at all? That’s the heart of the matter of Food Network’s fun and fascinating new series Hungry Games, hosted […]

7 Questions With … Caroline Manzo

Caroline Manzo became one of The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s best-loved Bravo-lebrities with her outspokenness and fierce devotion to her family.  Now, the fiery redhead has her own show, Manzo’d With Children (Premiering Sunday at 9pm ET with back-to-back episodes). Manzo laughs when asked if there will be any similarities to Housewives: “it’s apples and oranges,” she says. “Housewives was based on drama, this show has a fair amount of, I’ll say “predicaments,” but there’s always a resolution and we do it, “our way,” as a family.” Caroline took time from taping the show, helping plan daughter Lauren’s wedding, […]

Manzo’d With Children follows the matriarch, her husband Al and their three adult children […]

Meet Bravo’s Jersey Belle Jaime Primak Sullivan!

Even in the lobby of an iconic Beverly Hills hotel in the midst of a weeks-long press event rife with celebrities, Jersey Belle star Jaime Primak Sullivan stands out. Though she’s statuesque, tanned and mahogany-haired, with a penchant for stilettos and micro-mini skirts that showcase her impossibly long legs, it’s Sullivan’s gregarious confidence that turns heads and keeps them turned her way. Now the proud Jersey native and founder of Bridge and Tunnel Entertainment will share her fish-out-of-water tale — how a fabulous bicoastal publicist became a fabulous, if slightly perplexed, working mom in Mountain Brook, Alabama — in Bravo’s […]

TCA: “Sharknado 2” is the feel-good movie of the summer

Monday was NBCUniversal cable day at the Television Critics Association 2014 Summer Press Tour, with panels for shows from USA Network, Syfy, Bravo, Oxygen, Esquire Network and more.
