Dance Moms Season 5 episode 13 recap: You’re getting my goat …

March 31, 2015 Lori Acken

If you wanna be my Dance Mom, you gotta get with(out) your friends… make it last forever, cause this show never ends. So given that … zigazig ahhhh, Dance Moms nation. It’s time for the Spice Girls/Poison Apples version of the Dance Moms recap. Which starts out innocuously enough as everyone gathers in the Dancers Den to talk about how weird it is to be without Maddie again (it’s not that weird). This time, Maddie’s with Sia in New York doing SNL. And Melissa is lamenting about how she really should be in New York with her daughter, but she has to […]

Seeds of Yesterday on Lifetime: James Maslow explains the art of Bart

March 26, 2015 Lori Acken

Seeds of Yesterday, the fourth movie in Lifetime’s V.C. Andrews Dollanganger series, premieres Sunday, April 12 at 10/9CT on Lifetime. What It’s Based On: The follow-up to Thorns hit bookstores in 1984 and marked a 15-year leap forward in the Sheffield family story. Lifetime of a Lesson: Sometimes your brother is a really lousy keeper. Seeds‘ most notable swerve from the novel is its omission of Corrine’s devious sibling Joel; instead, the now grown Bart (Big Time Rush’s James Maslow) remains deeply influenced by his zealot great-grandfather Malcolm Foxworth and turns his home into a re-creation of Foxworth Hall. Bart invites Cathy, Chris and […]

Recap: Little Women: NY Episode 1

March 25, 2015 Kellie Freeze

Hooray!! New series! I’ve been waiting for this series to premiere since I first received a press release from Lifetime. In fact, it may have been before the press release, I think I received an e-mail from my press contact at the network, and as soon as I saw the subject line “Little Women: NY,” with the below image, I was amped. I’ve been watching and recapping Little Women: LA since the beginning (I took a few weeks off during Season 2 because it just got so nasty) so I’m excited to meet a new group of people who hopefully […]

Recap: Little Women: LA Reunion, Part 1

March 25, 2015 Kellie Freeze

After last week’s sweet baby shower and the real-time news of the birth of Terra and Joe’s baby, the claws are out in the first hour of the Little Women: LA Reunion, Part 1. The special was obviously recorded before the birth of Terra’s baby, and she was big and bumpin! Host Tanika Ray is here to ask the awkward questions that we’re all dying to know. Terra’s still aglow in maternal bliss, and first we take a look back at her “pregnancy journey.” But we’ll get to see this footage about 100 more times when Little Women: Terra’s Little Family […]

Dance Moms recap Season 5 episode 12: A bad case of Melanie-oma

March 24, 2015 Lori Acken

Welcome back, Dance Moms Nation. Whose NCAA bracket is still worth the paper it’s printed on? Who picked the Badgers to take it all? You are my special favorites. Speaking of competitions … this week we start at the front desk where Abby is all a’twinkle over Maddie’s new Sia video, Elastic Heart, which — if you’re the one person on earth who hasn’t seen it yet — features Maddie in Chandelier gear having one serious nightmare of a (bird)cage match with a brief-wearing Shia LaBeouf. Since we’re going to get all worked about it multiple times throughout the episode, here. […]

Meet the Cast of “Little Women: NY”

March 24, 2015 Kellie Freeze

Little Women: LA, Lifetime’s hit series about sexy and sassy little people, is expanding to a new city — the franchise’s spinoff, Little Women: NY, introduces seven friends who face the challenges of America’s toughest city with their unique perspectives and outlooks. Fans of the original show may recognize Lila Call from an appearance on the L.A. series. Her visit stirred up so much drama that it led to punches being thrown, and dinners erupted into screaming matches. “I was an outsider coming in,” reveals Call. “It was like being released into The Hunger Games.” And while Call says she […]

The Lizzie Borden Chronicles: Christina Ricci returns with a vengeance in campy new Lifetime series

March 21, 2015 Lori Acken

Lifetime’s new limited series The Lizzie Borden Chronicles premieres Sunday, April 5 at 10/9CT. In January 2014, Lifetime took a proverbial whack at bringing the sordid tale of Lizzie Borden to a new generation of horror fans with its original film Lizzie Borden Took an Ax. Starring Christina Ricci as the parent-dispatching Lizzie and Argo’s Clea DuVall as her obedient sister Emma, Lizzie was a bloody good time and a ratings killer, luring 4.4 million viewers on its way to becoming cable’s second-most-watched original film of the year. A few months later, the network approached Ricci with another idea — reuniting with […]

We talk Lifetime’s If There Be Thorns with Heather Graham!

March 19, 2015 Lori Acken

If you were among the nearly 10 million total viewers who tuned in last year for Lifetime’s film adaptations of the V.C. Andrews cult classic novels Flowers in the Attic and Petals on the Wind, prepare yourself for an April shower of Dollanganger goodness. Or Dollanganger badness — which is really what makes the films such escapist fun. The network will debut the next two installments, If There Be Thorns and Seeds of Yesterday, on back-to-back Sundays this month. Heather Graham reprises her role as family matriarch Corrine Dollanganger Foxworth Winslow in Thorns; otherwise the films feature new casts fleshing out the […]

Recap: Little Women: LA “Friendtervention” Season 2, Episode 112

March 18, 2015 Kellie Freeze

It’s the season finale of Little Women: LA but dry your tears, because Little Women: NY premieres next week. In addition, the fun continues with Terra and the gals; Little Women:LA will have at least 2 reunion specials and Terra and Jee’s new series, Little Women: Terra’s Little Family Premieres April 8! Traci, Tonya and Terra (The three Ts) did a background check on Briana’s fiancé Matt. So shady. If Briana wants to do a background check on her man, she would. (And if she didn’t want to know her man’s past, she’s crazy. You gotta protect yourself, lady!) Matt has […]

Dance Moms Season 5 episode 11 recap: All For One and None For All!

March 17, 2015 Lori Acken

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Dance Moms nation. If you’re not out there getting your corned beef and cabbage on, grab a green beer and let’s talk about what happened tonight. We start in the Dancers’ Den where everyone is pretty cheery about beating the Candy Apples and what it might mean for pyramid. OK, almost everyone. Let’s get her mind off her troubles and ask Jo Jo what she thought of Cathy, which should be entertaining. Jo Jo was expecting a little crazy, but she got THIS crazy instead. Huh. It doesn’t appear to be the answer Melissa was expecting. Or maybe […]
