Julie Busts Gabi On “Days Of Our Lives!”
HOLLYWOOD—This frenemy battle between Gabi and Abigail has been the highlight of “Days of Our Lives” in recent months. At first I was rooting for Abigail to get her comeuppance for her role in Gabi being convicted of a crime that she never committed. Then the dastardly deeds from Gabi put me in a position where I was rooting...
Taylor’s New Love On “Bold And Beautiful?”
HOLLYWOOD—That was quick to say the least. Yeah, it looks like Taylor Hayes has a new love interest on “The Bold and the Beautiful” and its one nobody ever expected. I was wondering why Reese Buckingham, Zoe’s father decided to return to his daughter’s orbit, we now know why? The guy is a womanizer and it is something that...
“Survivor: David V. Goliath” Crowns A Winner
HOLLYWOOD—This seriously has been one of the best seasons of “Survivor” in recent years. I’m not just saying that because everyone else has said it. We’ve gotten an eclectic cast unlike any other, very reminiscent of “Survivor: Cagayan” which was one of my favorite seasons up to this point, I’d still argue I’d rank that season as one of...

Leo Returns From The Dead On “Days!”
UNITED STATES—The chaos on “Days of Our Lives” has been so grand in recent weeks that I don’t even know where to start. Kristen DiMera returned, EJ DiMera is alive, Nicole died in an explosion, Abigail was committed, and Leo Stark has returned from the dead! Oh, yes, this last bomb was one that viewers knew about, but the...
Taylor’s Secret Exposed On “Bold And Beautiful!”
UNITED STATES—I was puzzled when Bill Spencer was shot months ago on “The Bold and the Beautiful.” It set up the perfect dynamic to knock down a titan a few pegs. Also tantalizing viewers was the revelation that it was Taylor Hayes of all people responsible for nearly killing Dollar Bill. Why was this story such a bummer? Well,...
Kendrick Lamar Leads Grammy Nominees
HOLLYWOOD—I’m so annoyed with the Recording Academy expanding the list of contenders for Album, Record and Song of the Year from five nominees to eight. I honestly think it’s the stupidest thing in the world. It was done to diversify the list of nominees, but that can be done by diversifying the Recording Academy’s membership.
I mean why expand the...
