HOLLYWOOD—Talk about a cliffhanger. Last week’s episode of “The Oval” ended with Allan grabbing hold of that wheel as Kyle was driving leading to an epic collision. This week’s episode, ‘Out of Line’ revealed that neither died in the crash, as Allan climbed out the vehicle as Kyle’s leg was stuck. Allan escaped and left Kyle to die, as...

HOLLYWOOD—The liars appear to be fully embracing A.D. and his board game that is delivering not only clues about the culprit, but the level of insanity the liars are willing to endure to get answers on “Pretty Little Liars.” This week’s episode, ‘Hold Your Piece,’ saw Hanna get a chance to play the game. The episode opened with Spencer...

HOLLYWOOD—I am so hot and cold with the CBS soap opera “The Bold and the Beautiful.” When the writers get things right it’s amazing, when they recycle the same story it becomes boring so quickly it’s not even fun to discuss.

HOLLYWOOD—When it comes to revivals, no series has upped the ante compared to TNT’s newly revamped model of the 1980s soap classic “Dallas.”  The first season was a must-see guilty pleasure with the return of famous faces like Patrick Duffy, Linda Gray and Larry Hagman. I will admit Hagman was the true star of the series with such infamous dialogue....

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...
