Rachael Ray, Tyra and “The View” Win Daytime Emmy Awards!

Jeanne — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 08:16:38 +0000

It was a fun night watching the Daytime Emmy Awards last night. Did you catch the show? If not, here’s a quick rundown of how our shows and hosts fared.

I wasn’t surprised at all to see that the Tyra Banks Show won the “informative” talk show award since she is constantly trying to push the envelope to educate her viewers whether it’s a giant stuffed vagina or having pregnant prostitutes on the show to tell their stories. She really has carved out a niche for herself and I’m really happy for her.

The Rachael Ray show won the “entertainment” talk show prize and I have to say that I was a little surprised by it but, then again, I’m continually amazed by this show’s success. I didn’t think it was even going to last a single season but, here it is, winning awards!

I was stunned, however, when the ladies on The View beat out Ellen DeGeneres for “best talk show host” after Ellen dominated the category for the past four years. You know she’s at home right now wondering what she did wrong (nothing!). I think that viewers really connected with the discussions surrounding the 2008 US Presidential Elections on The View and that probably helped them capture the prize.

Tyra Offers “Sneak Peek” of Natural Hair

Jeanne — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 06:34:31 +0000

Tyra Banks has promised that she will take out her weave and hair extensions for the first episode of the upcoming season of her talk show, which debuts on September 8, 2009. I’m really happy that she’s doing it because I think that we, as a society, need to remember that what is natural is also beautiful. We are so busy plumping our lips, smoothing our skin and starving ourselves that we sometimes lose focus of the fact that we are all individuals and possess our own, natural beauty. I’m really looking forward to the show. Of course, she couldn’t reveal too much so it’s blurred out but this is what she posted on Twitpic!

Martha Stewart Shows Love For Whitney Houston

Jeanne — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 20:26:48 +0000

After a listening party for Whitney Houston’s upcoming album I Look To You, talk show host Martha Stewart tweeted the following: "Whitney Houston singing and performing better than ever last night!!"

She also talked about the atmosphere at the event and wrote: "ALICIA KEYS WROTE ONE OF THE SONGS. She danced while it played. L.A. Reid, Dionne Warwick, Whitney’s mom Missy,and lots of other friends, family" (she later corrected herself and said that Whitney’s mother’s name is actually Cissy).

Martha also included a link to this snapshot of Whitney performing.

Daniel Radcliffe Promotes Harry Potter on Regis and Kelly

Jeanne — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 18:33:09 +0000

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince star, Daniel Radcliffe, was on Live With Regis and Kelly where he discussed the film which opens on July 15, 2009. I’m so excited!

The audience seemed very enthused to see the British actor (it must be nice to have such a warm welcome). He told Regis and Kelly that he would be turning 20 in a couple weeks and Regis remarked that he would no longer be a teenager. Daniel replied “yeah, I might as well give it all up now.” Too funny!

He also talked about his stint on Broadway in the gritty play, Equus, which required him to be fully naked at one point. It’s a very dark story about a disturbed young man and his horse (among many other things) so it was quite a leap from playing the boy wizard!

Regis also asked about what type of women fascinate the star. He said that he likes somebody who can make him laugh, is intelligent and slightly mad and eccentric. He addressed the rumors that he likes older women and Kelly made an attempt to get closer to him in mock interest. Ever the gentleman, Daniel said “I should be so lucky, Kelly.” That got some sighs from the audience!

Of course, he talked about the film as well as the one they are currently working on, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. He told a story about a stunt gone wrong and how he ended up getting hurt. It ended up being a slightly funny story, actually. Anyway, enough of my blabbering, check out the interview:

“Sleep Week” on Live With Regis and Kelly

Jeanne — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 03:22:00 +0000

I missed it yesterday but I wanted to let you guys know that it’s “Sleep Week” on Live with Regis and Kelly. It’s perfect if you have ever suffered from insomnia since they will be talking with Dr. Nisha Aurora, the Director of the Mount Sinai Comprehensive Center for Sleep Medicine, about common complaints and solutions.

Some of the issues they address are:

Are you sleepy/ tired during the day?
Do you have trouble falling asleep?
Do you have trouble staying asleep?
Does your partner complain you’re snoring?
Do you like to sleep late and then can’t get up in morning?
Do you need to urinate frequently at night?
Do you have un-refreshing/restless sleep?

I will be looking forward to some tips on liking to go to sleep and wake up later than most people. I’ve never been able to change that. I read on the Regis and Kelly site that it’s not necessary to fix this, which is a relief, so I’m thinking of changing my schedule to suit my natural sleep pattern.

Tyra Banks Attends Calvin Klein Event

Jeanne — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 18:04:59 +0000

Talk show host/model/businesswoman, Tyra Banks, was spotted at the Calvin Klein Collection and Visionaire 56 Solar launch at The Standard Hotel yesterday in New York City. From what I’ve read, Calvin Klein’s collaboration with Visionaire is pretty significant since “Visionaire 56 Solar is the first publication to use patented, formulated inks that have the ability to transform black and white images into brilliant colour.” That’s amazing and completely relevant to the fashion industry!

To be very honest, I don’t think she looks all that well in these pictures but maybe it’s just the heat from the summer? I love the dress and the shoes since they look so crisp and nice for this time of year but Tyra just looks warn out and tired.

Kelly Ripa and Husband at Ballet Spring Gala

Jeanne — Tue, 19 May 2009 17:04:13 +0000

Talk show host, Kelly Ripa, and her incredibly handsome husband, Mark Consuelos, were spotted at the 69th Annual American Ballet Theatre Spring Gala at The Metropolitan Opera House yesterday. I’m guessing the weather in New York City is fairly warm because Kelly looked comfortable (and really stunning) in her strapless dress.

Sherri Shepherd looked beautiful as she attended Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2009 event at the Lincoln Center in New York City. The View host looks like she’s got a bag filled with goodies! I wonder what’s in it!?

Oprah, Michelle Obama at “Most Influential” Event

Jeanne — Wed, 06 May 2009 22:20:32 +0000

Talk show host, Oprah Winfrey, got to reunite with her friend, First Lady Michelle Obama, at Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2009 event at the Lincoln Center in New York City. Both ladies made the list this year and I’m not surprised since they played a major role in the election of President Barack Obama.

Since getting to know each other during the campaigning, Oprah and Michelle have regularly been spotted together and Oprah invited the First Lady to be the first person (other than Oprah) to appear on the cover of O magazine.

Tyra Attends the Costume Institute Gala

Jeanne — Tue, 05 May 2009 16:46:11 +0000

Tyra Banks looked fierce at the ‘The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion’ Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art last night in New York City.

There was a lot of star power at the event which was made possible by the honorary chair (and amazing designer) Marc Jacobs and his co-chairs Kate Moss, Justin Timberlake (really?) and Anna Wintour.

The spring 2009 exhibition which “explores the reciprocal relationship between high fashion and evolving ideals of beauty, focusing on iconic fashion models in the latter half of the 20th century” is located in the Tisch galleries on the second floor of the museum and will be open until August 9, 2009.
