Television Updates: When Two Worlds Collide

It’s a rare event when mother and child can agree on a television show (at least in our home). I would never expect my 3-year-old to ask to watch Matt Damon’s appearance on Oprah. Likewise, I usually duck out when my daughter is watching “Arthur” on PBS so I can fold a few loads of laundry. But, come September 3rd my daughter and I have a date with the same television show. Hottie Matt Damon (who is currently playing former assassin Jason Bourne in “The Bourne Ultimatum”) is tackling a new project next month—complete with bear ears and fur. The … Continue reading →

What Celebrity Would You Most Want to Share Thanksgiving With?

Share Thanksgiving dinner… that’s it. At least that’s the way I interpreted AOL’s survey question. Because if given the chance I would want to share more than just a meal with Matt Damon. The Internet site recently gave users the opportunity to choose their dream Thanksgiving guest. Thousands replied and the winner is… Jennifer Aniston. How did that happen? According to AOL, more than 26 percent of responders chose the former “Friend” as the person they would most enjoy sitting next to at the Thanksgiving dinner table. Other Hollywood stars voters wanted to share a turkey leg with include actress … Continue reading →

Reege to the Rescue—Yet Again!

When in need turn to Reege. ABC did when they needed a host for “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,” and now CBS has followed suit turning to the king of daytime talk to inject star power into their new primetime game show “Million Dollar Password.” The series debuted on Sunday and delivered solid ratings. Make that king-sized ratings. According to Nielsen, Sunday night’s premiere of “Million Dollar Password” was the highest rated show in its timeslot. And Regis Philbin is taking all the credit. The 76-year-old charmer doesn’t do much on the show, but that’s what makes him so … Continue reading →

Up for a Celebrity Hand-Me-Down?

How would you like to strap on a diaper bag worn by hunky Matt Damon? Perhaps you would prefer to strap your child into the same high chair Julianne Moore’s daughter ate her mom’s famous meatloaf in? You’ll get your chance beginning Tuesday when celebrity baby hand-me-downs go up for auction on eBay. A slew of famous parents dug deep to donate items their own children used to help kids in need. Organizers say proceeds raised from the Johnson & Johnson Celebrity Hand Me Down Auction will benefit charities such as the March of Dimes, Save the Children, Zero to … Continue reading →

Celebrities Giving Birth—-Yes, No, Maybe So

YES I watch her show with my daughter on a regular basis and now Food Network’s Giada De Laurentiis has a baby girl of her own. The celebrity chef gave birth to her first child on Saturday in Los Angeles, according to her rep. De Laurentiis and her fashion designer husband Todd Thompson named their baby daughter Jade Marie De Laurentiis Thompson. The newest member of the Thompson clan weighed in at 5lbs, 13oz, according to the “Today” show contributor’s rep. Frankly, I’m surprised baby Jade weighed as much as she did. If you saw video or still photos of … Continue reading →

New Gigs For Some Old Favorites

I’ve always heard that you shouldn’t fix what’s not broken. So, I’m not sure what producers of the 37-year-old PBS classic “Masterpiece Theatre” are thinking by reformatting the show. Producers call it a “new move,” which means they are doing more “sprucing” than “revamping.” Either way regular viewer of the legendary anthology series will have to get use to a new look. According to show producers, the show will be split into three mini-seasons, each with its own theme and host – one of whom is Gillian Anderson. That’s right; Agent Dana Scully from the now defunct FOX series “The … Continue reading →

All Jimmy All The Time

If you are a fan of Jimmy Kimmel I have good news for you. If you can’t stand the guy then I would suggest staying away from your TV for a while. And if have no clue who Jimmy Kimmel is you probably will by the end of the month. The late night talk show host will be saturating the airwaves beginning next week. In a move that has never been executed by an entertainer, Kimmel is going bicoastal. He’s keeping his gig as host of ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in Los Angeles but will also be filling in for … Continue reading →

Regis Goes Primetime and Enrique Does Daytime

What’s going on with Regis Philbin? The 75-year-old talk show host said he was seriously considering retiring after this season. And who could blame him? His daytime talk show, “Live with Regis and Kelly” just passed the 20 year mark (he’s remained a constant fixture though his co-hosts have changed over the years), his daughter is about to give birth to his new grandchild, and he just underwent major heart surgery that took him off the air for more than a month. But now in a move that is shocking fans around the nation, instead of slowing down “Reege” recently … Continue reading →
