“American Idol”, “E! Red Carpet”, “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” and longtime radio host Ryan Seacrest is joining Kelly Ripa every morning on “LIVE!” It’s been nearly a year since Michael Strahan left “LIVE” to go to “Good Morning America” full-time. Since then, dozens of male and female celebs have guest-co-hosted with Ripa. Seacrest was with Ripa on […]
On Sunday Night, The 44th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards will be livestreamed on their Twitter (@DaytimeEmmys) and Facebook pages. This year’s hosts are “Extra”‘s Mario Lopez and Sheryl Underwood from “The Talk”. I don’t watch any Soap Operas (and I don’t know anyone who still does). It’s the Game, Talk, Entertainment News and Morning Shows […]
Oscar-winning director Jonathan Demme has passed away at the age of 73. Demme won his Academy Award for directing the 1991 Best Picture, “The Silence of the Lambs” – which is the most recent film to win Oscars in all five major categories: Picture, Director, Lead Actor (Anthony Hopkins’ iconic work as Hannibal Lecter), Lead Actress […]
“Atomic Blonde” is an action/thriller opening July 28. It stars Charlize Theron as, essentially, the female version of “John Wick”. She’s feisty and likes to kick butt. Theron actually trained for “Atomic” in the same gym as “JW” star Keanu Reeves, who was getting ready for “John Wick: Chapter Two”. That sequel opened in February […]

During this past Super Bowl broadcast, someone dressed as Albert Einstein, playing the violin, appeared in a commercial for the National Geographic Channel’s upcoming miniseries “Genius”. I said, out loud, “Was that Geoffrey Rush?” Sure enough, the Oscar winner is taking on the iconic figure in NatGeo’s first-ever scripted series. I’ve had the chance to screen […]
Nicole Kidman is having quite a 2017. In January, she received her fourth Oscar nomination – her first in the Supporting Actress category – for her excellent performance in “Lion”. Her role of Celeste Wright on the HBO miniseries “Big Little Lies”, opposite Reese Witherspoon and Shailene Woodley, has been garnering Emmy attention. And now, she’s ready to […]
From 1943-1958, The Academy Awards was held in March. In ’59, the show moved to April. From ’73-’88 – the date went back and forth between the two months. And from 1989 to 2003, The Oscars settled for the last or second to last Sunday in March. It was in 2004, on Leap Day, February 29th, […]
“Cash Cab” kicked-off in 2005 on the Discovery Channel. As someone with a lifelong love of game shows, I was instantly hooked. The premise: simple but genius – asking trivia questions to regular people during a taxi ride in NYC. As host Ben Bailey said every time complete strangers got into his cab, “It’s a TV […]
