Exclusive Interview Series: Chelsea Hobbs (Emily Kmetko) of Make It Or Break It

Make It Or Break It (as I have said) is my favorite new show of the summer. The ABC Family hit centers around a group of four elite gymnasts, who are Olympic hopefuls. This is a fantastic show, and if you haven’t watched it, you really should. It was just renewed for 10 more episodes, [...]

FALL TV PREVIEW – Eastwick

The new ABC drama Eastwick is based on the popular 80s move The Witches of Eastwick and the novel of the same name by John Updike.

Big Brother first eviction!

Last night was the first eviction in the Big Brother house. Chima and Braden were on the chopping block (after Russel took Lydia off), and I wasn’t sure who I wanted to be sent home. Chima is certainly quite annoying, but Braden didn’t really seem to have much of a personality. He just has really [...]

Supporting Actress in a Comedy: Jenna Fischer is one [...]
