Friday, March 20, be prepared to binge watch your next new favorite Netflix drama – BLOODLINE. From the creators of DAMAGES (Gleen Kessler, Todd A Kessler, Daniel Zelman), and starring a ton of great, great actors (Sissy Spacek, Sam Shepard, Kyle Chandler, Ben Mendelsohn, Linda Cardellini, and Jamie McShane), the show follows the story of the Rayburn family of the Florida Keys and what happens to their perfect little world when black sheep Danny return.

Vanessa Marano previews what is next for Bay on SWITCHED AT BIRTH

ABC Family’s SWITCHED AT BIRTH made a big splash this season when they presented a story line that found Bay Kennish (Vanessa Marano) dealing with questions of sexual consent after a night of drinking at a college party with old boyfriend Tank (Max Adler).  What followed was a story about campus rape told in the gray area where nothing is black and white, and neither party is 100% right or wrong. The story line was handled beautifully by writers and

MASTERCHEF JUNIOR’s Nathan talks Season 3, French pastries, and world-wide pastry domination

Today’s second chef-chat is with MASTERCHEF JUNIOR’s Nathan, the wise beyond his years chef famous for the perfect macarons from a few weeks back.  We talked about what he’s making now and what the future holds!  Check it out!

Today’s second MASTERCHEF JUNIOR Chef-Talk comes from my chat with now-12-year-old Ayla, from St Louis, MO. The excited young chef has made it to the top 6 of the competition that we’ll see go from 6 to 4 in tonight’s all new episode.  She’s quietly made her way through the competition with a few wins along the way, and I spent time quizzing her about when she started cooking and where she sees herself in the future! Was there a

Talking MASTERCHEF JUNIOR with Top 6 Competitor Kayla!

I’ve been spending some time talking to the chef contestants of one of my favorites, MASTERCHEF JUNIOR, as season 3 starts to wind down.  The first of today’s chefs is 11 year old Kayla of the curly hair, infectious energy, and very calm “medic” request that punctuated her first episode (but ultimately led to a top three finish in the challenge)!  We spent some time talking about what got her into cooking and she told me (voice full of 11
