Kathy Griffin says celebs need not apply for a spot on her new Bravo talk show

April 18, 2012 StayTuned Staff

A Kathy Griffin talk show without celebrities? Sounds a bit like baking a pie and forgetting the crust, no? Well, the doyenne of the D-List — and frequent scourge of the A-List — isn’t completely shutting out famous faces from Kathy, her new Bravo gabfest that premieres April 19. Just don’t look for them sitting next to her. Hard as this is to imagine, Griffin told me she would feel encumbered with celebrities surrounding her, actually having to worry about hurting someone’s feelings or, God forbid, listening to someone promote their latest whatever. She favors having her friends and family […]

“Glee” showcased this week on Bravo, BIO and FOX

April 9, 2012 Tom Comi

It’s probably safe to assume that Glee fans are going to experience an incredible amount of glee this week, as the popular show not only returns to FOX after a brief hiatus but also gets the star treatment on Bravo and BIO Channel. The musical drama/comedy rejoins the FOX lineup Tuesday night (8pm ET) with an episode entitled “Big Brother,” which features the seniors ditching class to attend an amusement park. It’s probably also safe to assume we will find out what happened to Dianna Agron’s character Quinn, who was last seen in a horrible car accident that was caused […]

“The Real Housewives of New Jersey” Season 4 to premiere April 22 (video)

March 23, 2012 Lori Acken

Real Housewives fans, have you been missing your Jersey girls? After a 6-month hiatus, Caroline Manzo, Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Kathy Wakile — and yes, Jacqueline Laurita — return to Bravo for a fourth season beginning April 20. And if you think all has been forgiven from the fiery Season 3 reunion shows … ah, you don’t really think that, do you? Looks like even wayward Jersey housewife Dina Manzo makes at least one peacemaking cameo appearance, as well (hurray!!!), and Housewife hanger-on Kim DePaola continues to hanger-on whilst sporting some serious Lady Godiva hair extensions. Promising to “break down the […]

Brad Pitt reveals George Clooney prank on Bravo’s “Inside the Actors Studio”

February 10, 2012 Tom Comi

Most people tune in to Bravo’s Inside the Actors Studio to hear their favorite actors divulge some of the deeply personal events in their lives that enabled them to become the great performers they are on screen. Host James Lipton sits at his desk with his cue cards filled with the deep dark secrets he has dug up in an attempt to go beyond the surface, and oftentimes he succeeds with the celebrities breaking down to reveal they are really no different than the acting students in the audience or the the fans watching on TV. Don’t expect a whole […]

Three-part “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” reunion begins Jan. 30

January 26, 2012 Lori Acken

Beginning Monday, Jan. 30, Andy Cohen and Co. will reconvene The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills to rehash an epic season that ended with last week’s finale, a reasonably calm event (save for the good Dr. Maloof’s contribution) given the bookending life events that were Russell Armstrong’s death and Pandora Vanderpump’s wedding. […]

Chef Roble Ali Talks Bravo’s upcoming “Chef Roble & Co.”

November 21, 2011 Lori Acken

It’s a tale told by many a chef — how they learned their craft at the knee of a family elder. Not Roblé Ali. Though his grandfather was, indeed, a caterer who once cooked for JFK, Roblé — consulting chef at New York City’s celebrity hotspot Avenue and star of Bravo’s new docuseries Chef Roblé & Co. — says what he learned from his family is that he likes to eat. And eat well. “A light bulb went off in my head one day that, ‘Hey, if I want to eat the way that I want to eat all the time, […]

Celebrities react via Twitter to news of Kim Kardashian’s divorce

October 31, 2011 Tom Comi

By Tom Comi Follow @ChannelGuide Well, that didn’t take long. A mere 72 days after spending a reported $10 million on a lavish made-for-TV wedding, Kim Kardashian announced that her marriage to NBA player Kris Humphries is over. Likewise, it hasn’t taken long for some celebrities — and we use that term loosely for some of these folks — to offer their two cents. Jay Mohr (@jaymohr37), comedian: “Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries file for divorce. The NBA and the NFL collectively celebrate. NHL says “who cares?”” Kelly Osbourne (@MissKellyO): “@KimKardashian thinking of you stay strong don’t listen to the […]
