“It really seems like a natural extension, because I was doing my radio show five days a week for a really long time, so I’m used to putting myself out there,” says San Francisco-based “Sex With Emily” radio show host Emily Morse of her costarring role in Miss Advised, Bravo’s new docuseries that profiles the roller-coaster love lives of Morse and two other comely young relationship gurus, New York matchmaker Amy Laurent and former Internet It-Girl Julia Allison.

Disney Channel took inspiration for its latest original film, Let It Shine, from the classic play Cyrano de Bergerac, then added some 8 Mile and Footloose-like drama to deliver a refreshingly uplifting story about staying true to oneself. The film debuts Friday, June 15 at 8pm ET/PT. The mouse ears ventures out of its usual comfort zone for this music-driven film, as the story is set in the world of hip-hop, rap and gospel music. Everybody Hates Chris star Tyler James Williams plays Cyrus DeBarge, a shy teen whose heartfelt rhyme about his childhood friend Roxie — who is now […]
It’s one of those projects that you almost can’t talk about. If I tell you anything substantial about BBC America’s Dramaville: Inside Men it’ll give away the story and the suspsense. But it’s enough to say that Inside Men uses a jigsaw-puzzle narrative approach to tell the story of a trio of cash reserve facility workers who work together to pull off the biggest cash theft in British history. Two of the men, John and Chris — played brilliantly by Steven Mackintosh (Luther) and Ashley Walters (Hustle) — are measured and calculating. The third, Marcus, is impulsive and occasionally stupid — […]
Beautiful, smart, opinionated and … paralyzed? It’s certainly not your typical docuseries cast, but that’s what caught the attention of Sundance Channel as it looks to shatter stereotypes by documenting the lives of four dynamic women — Angela Rockwood, Auti Angel, Tiphany Adams and Mia Schaikewitz — in its new series Push Girls, which debuts Monday, June 4 at 10pmET/PT. Unfiltered and very, very personal, the series follows four confident and inspiring Los Angeles women who are paralyzed from either the waist or neck down. The series is the brainchild of one of its stars — Angela Rockwood — a model […]
The last time I spoke with Dance Moms’ Christi Lukasiak, the show’s second season was soon to premiere — and Lukasiak was still trying to wrap her head around her near-overnight transition from devoted mom perpetually trapped in a tyrant’s dance studio to devoted mom perpetually trapped in a tyrant’s dance studio on TV’s most talked-about train wreck. My research entailed being an earnestly devoted viewer of the show. • Read Channel Guide‘s first interview with Christi Lukasiak Six months later, on the cusp of the season’s summer premiere, Lukasiak, her comrades in the parents loft at Pittsburgh’s Abby Lee Dance Company, and […]
Adam Richman’s face is mere inches away from a toaster oven in the bustling kitchen of Kroll’s West, the 70-year-old, go-to food spot for Green Bay Packer fans and “butter burger” lovers that sits in the shadow of the legendary Lambeau Field. But it’s not the burger he’s after on this late April afternoon — it’s the beloved Wisconsin eatery’s prime rib sandwich, a beefy monstrosity accented with a mélange of peppers and onions and a cup of rich au jus. As Cheryl Dorner, the folksy restaurant’s charming manager — and Richman’s costar for this segment of his new Travel […]
Gadget Nation author and “Innovation Insider” Steve Greenberg grew up in a family that celebrates invention — and a great meal. So it’s only natural that Greenberg — who parlayed a gig as a TV reporter into a career heralding gadgets — would find a way to combine his passions and give inventors a boost to boot. This week, he and his pal, Patrick Raymond — founder of the Inventors Association of Manhattan and former Executive Director of the United Inventors Association — debuted their new Food Network series Invention Hunters, which follows the duo as they scout out potential million-dollar kitchen gizmos […]
Hallmark Channel pulls off a bit of a “first” this month with one of its original films. Comedian Bill Engvall, who’s been doing standup routines about parenting for decades, steps into his first dramatic role in Kiss at Pine Lake. The film is about Luke (Barry Watson), a young philanthropist trying to save the summer camp of his youth, and Zoe (Mia Kirshner), the girl who haunts his camp memories, representing the development firm that’s trying to wheedle it away from him. Engvall’s role is of Zoe’s father, though they’re largely estranged since her parents’ divorce. It’s a small part […]
