New Docuseries Preach Premieres Tonight on Lifetime

June 5, 2015 StayTuned Staff

I’d been praying for some good new reality TV to cover*, when the screener for Lifetime’s all-new docuseries Preach dropped down from heaven (or, more accurately, arrived in my email). It wasn’t quite what I was hoping for, but then again, how often are our prayers answered in a way we’re expecting? *I didn’t really pray for good reality TV. I’m not that shallow. I’d argue that one or two of the women on this show might be that shallow, though. More on that later. Preach, premiering tonight (Fri. June 6) at 10pm ET/PT (9pm CT), follows four prophetesses: powerful […]

You got it, dude: Lifetime to air “The Unauthorized Full House Story” in August

June 4, 2015 Lori Acken

If you spend your evenings relishing Nick@Nite’s endless Full House reruns and wishing someone, oh someone, would give you a peek behind the scenes of the squeaky-clean series, well, as Michelle Tanner would say: You got it, dude. On the heels of last year’s The Unauthorized Saved By The Bell Story (and ahead of Netflix’ all-grown-up reboot Fuller House), Lifetime will present The Unauthorized Full House Story on August 22. Like its predecessor, TUFHS offers up a cast of unknowns stepping into the shoes — and other questionable ’80s/’90s attire — of the folks who became household names during Full House‘s 192-episode run: Garrett Brawith as Bob […]

Mollee Gray Gets Dramatic in Lifetime’s “Double Daddy”

June 4, 2015 Kellie Freeze

Mollee Gray is known for playing happy go lucky Giggles in the Disney Channel Original Movie, Teen Beach Movie and the upcoming Teen Beach 2, or for dancing her way to the Top 8 in Season 6 of So You Think You Can Dance. But now the actress is about to take on her most challenging role yet as the star of Lifetime’s original film, Double Daddy. Mollee took a few minutes to chat with me about her first dramatic part, and as you can imagine, the perky actress is thrilled. “It’s so unreal to me. I’m stoked!” she exclaimed. In […]

Devious Maids Season 3 Episode 1 Recap: Murder and a Baby?

June 1, 2015 StayTuned Staff

After keeping the Devious Army waiting for almost a year since the end of Season 2, Lifetime has brought back its hit show Devious Maids for Season 3. I’m sure everyone in that army would agree when I say that it wasn’t fair of them to leave us for such a long time with the cliffhanger at the final episode of Season 2! Happily, the premiere episode of Season 3 picks up right where Season 2 left off — a drive-by shooting at Spence and Rosie’s wedding. As everyone is outside of the church happily cheering the couple’s new journey into wedded bliss, an uninvited […]

Cristián de la Fuente on his mysterious Devious Maids Season 3 character: “He has secrets. He has stories behind the stories.”

May 28, 2015 StayTuned Staff

Lifetime’s telenovela-style hit series Devious Maids, from executive producers Marc Cherry and Eva Longoria, returns June 1 in a brand new time slot on Monday nights. Season 3 will feature a handful of familiar faces in intriguing new Devious roles including Naya Rivera (Glee), John O’Hurley (General Hospital) and — amping up the show’s already sky-high heat factor — Nathan Owens (Days of Our Lives) and Chilean hunk Cristián de la Fuente. While it’s been long rumored that de la Fuente’s character will be Rosie’s long-lost first husband Ernesto, he couldn’t confirm the rumors. However he did express his excitement at being cast on Devious, because […]

Recap: Little Women: NY, Episode 10 “The Big Question”

May 27, 2015 Kellie Freeze

It’s the season finale of Little Women: NY, and our friends aren’t bidding us adieu for the summer without some heart-stopping drama! The group has gotten back from Puerto Rico and they’ve managed to spoil one of the Earth’s most beautiful places with their bitter jealousy and conflict. Ah reality TV participants, when will you learn that going on a reality TV vacay is not the answer to ending drama, it always causes more?!? Sharing a bathroom with someone whom you’ve been snarking is never the solution. And this season, the ladies of Little Women: NY went on two […]

Dance Moms Australia special Part 2 recap: Abby whines and Nia shines

May 26, 2015 Lori Acken

Why didn’t any of you warn me that Dance Moms is already back June 9, Dance Moms nation? I know you knew before I did, because you always know things before I do, even I get paid to know the things. And here I was looking forward to at least a handful of relaxing summer Tuesdays after we wrap up our Australian adventures and head off to further torment in L.A. But noooooo. Speaking of noooooo, that’s about how much fun Abby wants the girls to have before getting back down to business. A little snuggling koalas and that is […]

Hoarders Family Secrets star Matt Paxton: “This year … it will all make sense”

May 22, 2015 Lori Acken

When Lifetime debuts its Hoarders reboot, Hoarders: Family Secrets, Thursday night, fans of the A&E original will be pleased to see some very familiar faces have returned to the Hoarders fold — including extreme cleaning specialist Matt Paxton. Paxton says that even though A&E pulled the plug on Hoarders in 2013, reruns on the show’s new Lifetime home have kept the series — and serious discussions about this very real mental disorder — alive. “It’s been pretty surreal to see the response on social media — for me, on social media it never ended,” Paxton says. “New people were finding the show and they were […]

Grace of Monaco premieres Monday night on Lifetime

May 21, 2015 Lori Acken

Despite its very public slide from Cannes Film Festival opener and much-anticipated theatrical release to Lifetime movie of the week, you could do worse than to spend the waning hours of your Memorial Day watching Grace of Monaco. Especially if you’re a fan of Nicole Kidman and her considerable knack for playing steely stunners. There. Permission granted to watch it and enjoy it. How you handle the rest is up to you. If you approach Grace as a sort of weird amalgamation of golden-hued rags-to-riches princess tale and G-rated political-intrigue drama/mystery — rather an accurate biography of the cool blond Hollywood ingénue turned misunderstood princess — you’ll […]

One Feud Goes Overboard! Recap: Little Women: NY, Episode 9 “Puerto Rico Fever”

May 21, 2015 Kellie Freeze

When friends on reality TV fight, why is their solution always to go on vacation, or throw a party? Don’t they know that most of my fights happen on vacations or at parties? Jason and Jazmin meet with the group after the tenseness of Dawn’s charity auction. Jordanna is notably absent; she’s made a lame “I’m not feeling well,” excuse. She’s still mad at Jason for underselling her picture of her lady-parts, and he’s still mad that she called him a coward for deciding not to move out of his parent’s house. Obviously, Jordanna really overvalues both her painting skills […]
