New True Tori Tonight. And Tori Cheated On Hubby #1. Surprised?

April 29, 2014 Kellie Freeze

Just as I guessed after last week’s juicy True Tori tease…this week’s episode reveals that Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott cheated on their previous souses with each other! Given that Tori and Dean married each other a few weeks after Tori’s divorce to hubby #1 was finalized, it seemed pretty obvious that there was some marital infidelity involved. If Dean (and Tori) has already been shown to be a cheater, is it any surprise that there’d be cheating again? Once you’re okay with flexible fidelity, don’t be surprised when the same flexibility is leveraged against you. Lifetime has shared a […]

7 Questions with Susan Lucci

April 25, 2014 Lori Acken

It’s tempting to think that having spent four decades embodying All My Children‘s unforgettable Erica Kane — earning critical acclaim and worldwide fame in the process — Susan Lucci would be content to relax and enjoy the spoils of her success when the show ended in 2011. Instead, the passionate and thoroughly charming actress went right out and landed herself a new role that’s every bit as delicious as Ms. Kane in Genevieve Delatour, the fallen (and funny!) socialite on Marc Cherry’s Devious Maids, now airing its second Season on Lifetime. “When All My Children was no longer on ABC […]

Dance Moms Seeing Red recap: Tainted Tongues

April 23, 2014 Lori Acken

Sometimes I feel I got to BOMP BOMP! Run away I got to BOMP BOMP! Get away From the pain you drive into the heart of me, Dance Moms. Yes, Dance Moms nation, I know. My homework is late. I tried to get it done last night, honest I did, but a couple things happened. For one, after Abby said her tongue was tainted, I spent most of the rest of my night singing a retooled version of Tainted Love to myself (and wondering what reader John Linen will do with that bad boy). And also, am I the only one who […]

April 15, 2014 Lori Acken

It’s the Season 4 Midseason finale, Dance Moms Nation and that means it’s time for the much-discussed new team. And the new mothers. Well, sort of new. One gave us a special little taste of her tact and refinement — and brought out the best in Melissa — last week. Another we met a month or so ago in Michigan. And another isn’t new to Kira at all. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. We start out on a somber note, because the show has finally caught up to Maryen Lorrain’s Feb. 8 death. As each Pitt Crew mother-daughter […]
