Are your cupboards and closets PACKEDwith all your fancy entertaining goodies? When was the last time you actually used your “good stuff”? Are you still waiting for an excuse to pull out the china, crystal, silver… your best place settings? Do you still have your wedding gift serving pieces tucked away under the bed?
Okay go look… Aha I knew it! I bet you don’t even remember what it looks like!
Well if this is indeed the case… What are you waiting for?
It is remarkable to me how many extraordinary people I have met that fiercely protect their meaningful and precious things for ‘special company’ - meanwhile these dear souls allow themselves to dine like second class citizens. What’s up with that? You know how hard you work, how much you give to your kids, partner, job, friends – how many times a day you suspend your own needs to take care of someone else’s. As a mom, wife, and a hard worker, this is what we do right?… and therefore there is no one more ‘special’ than YOU!
So here is what I say, STARTtreating yourself like ‘special company’ and SURROUNDyourself with BEAUTY! Whether you’re hosting tout sol, your family or a bunch of fabulous friends – creating a beautiful ambiance is just one way to make sure you feel special and turns everyday into a special occasion!
Here are some simple and quick ideas/reminders to inspire you:
1. Clear the table! – That means NO mail, magazines, homework…pets? A clean canvas is your starting point to bringing focus to a beautiful setting (sans distractions) and sets the stage to honor the moment.
2. Set the table! – Pull out your best table cloth, place mats, chargers, dishes, stemware, flatware and USEthem! Remember: It’s not about expensive. It’s about your best! Are you feeling special yet?
3. Pick-up some fresh flowers – You don’t need to wait until someone brings you flowers. Cut some branches from outside or get some fruit, whatever you have to put in a vase or bowl. Bringing some COLORto your table adds natural vitality and life.
4. Create some dazzle and break out the candles – Candles add tremendous ambiance to any table. A cluster of votives, pillars, or candle sticks in the center or on each end of the table says ‘special’ and casts a beautiful glow on you and your loved ones.
5. Music please! – Beautiful music can transition you quickly from frazzled to festive. Even when my 5 and 6 year old are moments from a full blown argument at the table, I find myself calmer when I tune into the music. I call it my ‘medication music’!
Is it really possible to dine this way every night?, you may ask. I say, if you look at this simply as a way of giving back to yourself, making yourself feel valued, special and recognize that you are deserving of being treated well, then this becomes a WELCOMEDand BEAUTIFULritual instead of just one more thing on the ‘to-do’ list.
Ultimately treating yourself this way poses as an exquisite model for our children and what it means to value ourselves!

Meet Lenay Dunn: the host of MTV's 10 on Top! Dunn guides viewers through a countdown of hot new talent with exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes footage. Dunn's energetic and enthusiastic personality along with her creative talents and passions for writing music predicts for an exciting and successful future for this Minnesota-native! I recently had the pleasure of turning the tables on Dunn as I interviewed her on her experiences with MTV, music-writing, and much more!
What do you enjoy most about your job as host of MTV's10 on Top?
Lenay- I think my favorite part is experiencing New York City and meeting so many cool people. Everyone who works for MTV is so nice. It's just super fun! I actually live in Nashville and I fly into New York every week so it just feels like a totally different world!
Did you always want to be a television host? I read you used to make home videos with your friends.
Lenay- I actually went to college to be a Spanish teacher so I totally fell into the video thing. It's always been a hobby. But then I got a call from Red Bull, they're like 'hey we really like your videos, want to host shows for us?' That's kind of what started it. I thought this could be a career! This is awesome! I just kind of like explored all the possibilities and it was awesome. I fell in love. Me and the camera are inseparable. I always like to carry one in my purse still! (Laughs)
Since you originally wanted to be a teacher, was it easy to let that dream go when Red Bull called you?
Lenay- Oh totally! (Laughs) I loved Spanish. I lived in South America for six months and that was amazing. That's why I learned Spanish, just to talk to people and live in a different culture. I student taught for a semester and it was really challenging for me, I just found that I would rather talk Spanish and not teach it.
Your first job was with MTV, Summer Wraps, how was that experience for you?
Lenay- Yes! I actually have the link on my site, of some of them if people want to see them. It aired in between shows in the summer. Basically every Tuesday we would film for the whole week in advance, so I would change outfits five times in one day! We would pretend we were filming the entire week. We would travel outside of New York City and they just put a camera on me, and just kind of threw me in different situations and were just kind of like be yourself and run around and be weird! That's kind of what I did! (Laughs)
Were you nervous or did you just jump into it? MTV is a major network.
Lenay- I've only been nervous a handful of times otherwise I just sort of jump into things and just start talking. I think I definitely give different types of interviews than most formal interviews.
Since there are so many young women on television doing interviews for Entertainment, how do you make yourself stand out? What's unique about you?
Lenay- I just love making friends with everyone. I try to be super nice to everyone. Just be myself I guess and it's kind of quirky but I think that's kind of how I am.
Do you have a moment from 10 on Top that really stands out to you?
Lenay- I co-hosted yesterday with Ashley Banfield from Pretty Little Liars, and it was just so fun. And the whole time we were just quoting people and having a blast.
I read that you also write country music when you're in Nashville? Is that another passion for you?
Lenay- I'm kind of pursuing it on the side just for fun. I just made a demo CD. I put the demos up on MySpace if people want to see on myspace.com/lenaydunn. I just love writing songs and my friends are producers and so that kind of meshed. (Laughs) They produced things for me. It's fun. I love anything creative really.
Who would you love to go back in time and be for a day?
Lenay- I think I would trade places with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen when they were little. I would want to check out what it was like on the set of Full House. (Laughs) I think that would be fun.

Jonny Loquasto KNOWS where it's at... in this week's episode of his webseries "Quasto Knows" he discusses Charlie Sheen debacle. Click here to check it out!
TV personality Kym Douglas is from Southfield, Michigan - a suburb of Detroit. The Michigan native began her television career at 16 years old at local station WJBK in Southfield. Kym later moved on to WLUC in Marquette, Michigan to anchor the evening news.
If Kym Douglas looks familiar, it's because you've seen her numerous times offering expert beauty and lifestyle tips on 'The Ellen Degeneres Show.' Douglas also appears regularly on daytime's 'The Doctors.'
Kym Douglas met future husband Jerry Douglas (John Abbott, ‘The Young and the Restless’) when she was chosen to host the ‘Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Telethon’ in Las Vegas in 1983. Jerry was the telethon’s ‘celebrity host from LA.’
As a special treat just in time for Valentine’s Day, Kym and Jerry Douglas share their love story with examiner.com. On April 6, the couple will celebrate their 26th wedding anniversary.
Here’s Part 1 of our exclusive interview:
Examiner: Talk about how you two met.
Jerry Douglas: It had to be God's design, because I never gamble and rarely have been to Vegas over the many years I've lived in LA. I’ve gone a few times to make singing appearances but never to gamble. From the moment I saw her I thought she was a stunning extraordinary woman. She asked to interview me – I suggested dinner and it began.
Kym Douglas: I was from the smallest station in the country represented there; Jerry was from the second largest. When I saw him I thought if I could get an interview with him to take back to my small town in Michigan I could become the Jessica Savitch of the Upper Peninsula. So with knees shaking, I went up to Jerry to ask him for an interview. He asked me to dinner and the rest is history.
Examiner: Did you know right away you were destined to be together?
Jerry Douglas: The first evening I thought she was enchanting in her person, her smile, her attentiveness, and her ability to embrace life and the people she cared for. I knew something powerful was happening that first evening, She was so young and we lived so far away from each another, but I could not prevent the desire I was feeling. We saw one another that one night, talked on the phone for months and finally she came to me six months later and we never parted.
Kym Douglas: There were definitely sparks flying and excitement in the air on our first date. He romanced me like crazy.... sending me often, 300 red roses to the small town local station in Marquette, Michigan. The bouquets were so big some times they couldn’t even get them through the small back station door.
Jerry was charismatic and charming. I knew he was different but he never played games and never pulled the ‘celebrity actor’ card. He was just ‘Jerry from Boston,’ the son of a rag man who had big dreams and no connections in Hollywood. His parents had wanted him to be a lawyer but he had a different idea.
Examiner: What was it that sparked your attraction to each other?
Jerry Douglas: She had a combination of purity and strength. She embraced you with her smile, her warmth and engendered immense sexuality with grace and lady-like elegance. I so enjoyed being with her.
Kym Douglas: He was wonderful - larger than life - down to earth yet charismatic. When Jerry walked into a room he took charge. He was a dreamer like me and he took risks. I loved that. We had everything going against us. We have an over 20-year age difference, we are different religions (I’m a Christian Jerry is Jewish) and both of us from strongly religious backgrounds. Jerry was a Hollywood actor - not the most stable job and lots of temptations, he had two children that he had sole custody of and we had just met. We found out years later, many in attendance at our wedding gave it 3 years tops!
Our differences made us stronger - neither of us morphed into the others shadow, religion or career. We both enhanced each other’s choices. I became stronger and more motivated, inspired by Jerry. He always encouraged me to ‘Go for my dreams.... to dream big or go home!’
There is an old Scottish saying that goes like this....’What’s for you, won’t go by you.’ What were the odds that a little girl from Southfield, Michigan would end up anchoring the news, doing spots on ‘The Ellen Show,’ being a regular on ‘The Doctors,’ and writing best selling beauty books? Let alone marrying a larger than life Soap Opera Star? It was all in God’s plan. There are no accidents in life and if it is for you, you have to trust it won’t go past you!
Examiner: What’s your secret to a long and happy marriage?
Jerry Douglas: To never allow a day to pass with anger and bitterness with one another. You must fight to resolve any hurt feelings and not allow them to fester within. You must continue to adapt and change as you both move thru life. And always realize and appreciate how blessed you are to truly love one another. As I said to my wife a number of times - ’I finally found the woman I've been in love with all of my life.’
Kym Douglas: Laughter and our differences. Many of the couples unfortunately that were at our wedding betting against us making it, have sadly gone through three and four marriages to our one. They were the same age, same religion, had no children from another marriage and were not in the acting or performing fields.
We laugh a lot in our relationship. We love to laugh and we love to make those around us laugh. That is what I do on ‘Ellen’ each time I’m on. I see in these darkest of economic times people just crave laughter. We all want to be happy and reach for JOY. Comedy is a great equalizer and it heals us.
Jerry is also a very strong man and a leader. I need and want that in my marriage. I trust his moral fiber and a man of character is the sexiest and best thing around!!!!
I’ve come to learn that it s not those big budget ‘Soap Opera style’ romantic moments that count, it’s the little things - the times when for no reason he brings home a small bouquet of flowers from the grocery store when it’s NOT Valentines Day. The card that he stays at the drug store extra long to find because it perfectly fits our story. It’s the gentle touches when we are rushing throughout our busy day. That’s the stuff that really makes a marriage last. You know it’s not a soap opera - its real life!
Thanks to Kym and Jerry Douglas for sharing their beautiful story.
Watch for Michigan’s Kym Douglas on ‘The Doctors’ this Wednesday February 16 at 10am on ABC/WXYZ Channel 7 in the Detroit area.
Douglas will also appear on ‘The Ellen Degeneres Show’ this Thursday February 17 at 10am on NBC/WDIV Channel 4 in the Detroit area.
Ventura County resident Kym Douglas predicts red-carpet trends for “Good Day LA” and has been seen wearing a shower cap on “Ellen” while demonstrating how to turn household items such as olive oil, red wine and craft glue into beauty treatments.
But she has never before donned a tight red dress to appear on a sitcom as a character referred to as a dating-scene “slump buster.”
That particular entry will go onto Douglas’ résumé at 10:30 tonight, when she makes a cameo on the second episode of the new TV Land series “Retired at 35.”
“I was like, ‘Is someone crazy here?’,” Douglas said, laughing as she described the unexpected acting gig.
Douglas portrays Rita, a character who may or may not come between Jessica Walter and George Segal, who play a long-married — but recently separated — couple on the show.
“I see her as a sort of Pamela Anderson meets Loni Anderson, with a dash of ‘Laverne & Shirley’ thrown in, ” Douglas said of the character.
After its debut on Jan. 19, the show is still so new that it isn’t yet known if Rita will make return appearances, said Douglas, who lives in Lake Sherwood with husband Jerry Douglas of “The Young and the Restless” fame and their son, Hunter, 13.
That just gave Douglas, who worked with The Second City comedy troupe early in her career, all the more reason to have fun with her cameo, she said.
Also appearing in tonight’s episode will be “Cheers” veteran Shelley Long, who portrays a bird-watcher who has a brief flirtation with Segal’s character.
“Retired at 35” is the second original scripted series to appear on TV Land, a cable channel previously known for its “Three’s Company” reruns and the over-35 beauty pageant “She’s Got the Look.”
It follows on the heels of the channel’s first such series, the menopausal-buddy comedy “Hot in Cleveland” starring Wendie Malick, Jane Leeves, Valerie Bertinelli and Betty White,
The premise behind “Retired at 35” is a different sitcom staple: the adult child returned to the roost.
It follows a disillusioned Manhattan businessman, played by Johnathan McClain, who decides to retire early. He ends up moving into a Florida condo development with his parents, played by Segal and Walter. There, he settles all too quickly into a retiree lifestyle that his father describes as, “like college, in slow-motion.”
The show’s creator, Chris Case, worked most recently on the ABC Family show “Roommates” and, before that, on “Reba.”

For three days a week, 25 year-old television personality Lenay Dunn leaves her home in Nashville, to fly to New York, where she hosts the MTV show “10 on Top.” Born in Africa, where she lived until she was three years-old, Dunn grew up in Minnesota and eventually moved to Tennessee.
After making YouTube videos with her friends in high school, and passing out Red Bulls in college during the summer, she caught the eye of executives at the company’s headquarters in Los Angeles, who decided to have her host shows, attend events and interview athletes to promote the energy drink.
Eventually, Dunn submitted an audition tape to MTV, where she landed the job as the host of “10 on Top.”
“I think I’m a little bit quirky,” Dunn said in a recent telephone interview, “it kind of works in my favor sometimes.”
While she described her upbringing, she joked that she was currently living in the Tennessee jungle (and played rainforest sounds in the background as proof).
It’s hard not to fall in love with her charming, quirky personality. Lenay said she enjoys drinking tea (although she admits she can’t do a good British accent), likes wearing shorts and tights (although her Twitter bio still says dresses), and she hopes to someday live in a house of windows (yes, a glass house).
As a TV host, some of her favorite moments include the time she went sailing with Zac Efron (“High School Musical”) and when Ken Jeong of “The Hangover” co-hosted one of the shows with her.
“Hanging out with him before and after the show was so funny,” Dunn said. “I get to meet some really cool people, and that’s definitely my favorite part.”
According to Dunn, the celebrity countdown show “10 on Top” recently changed its set and began using a green screen to project its virtual stage.
“I wish it was really my room in real life,” Dunn said. “Because there’s a bed in it and a TV and it looks like I’m just chillin’ in a really sweet space.”
Whether she’s on set bringing in cupcakes for the crew to celebrate a birthday or anniversary, or staying with the editing team, producers and script writers until the early hours of the morning to finish a show, her carefree sense of humor both on-camera and off is winning over fans and helping her live her dreams.
“My wish for this job is that it lasts like 20 million years, just forever,” she said. “And then at the same time I would love to… create other shows too, even if I’m not on them… to have my hands in all aspects, all sides of producing, that would be my ultimate goal.”
Wherever she may live, a glass house or the Tennessee jungle, there is no doubt her drive to achieve her dreams will propel her there (and the Red Bull will certainly give her wings).

Paris Hilton has landed a new reality show for the Oxygen Network and intends to show the world she's not a dizzy blonde, as she's been portrayed on previous shows. A source said, "This isn't 'The Simple Life,' where she played a campy version of herself. This show will give viewers a glimpse of the real Paris and her life, which is sometimes quite amazing." Cameras were not following Hilton during her August arrest in Las Vegas, but they could capture her carrying out the community service she was sentenced to for cocaine possession. Her rep didn't get back to us.

'Dating in the Dark' Recap: The season 2 finale!
by Annie Barrett
It’s late! Night is on its way and by now I am very, very afraid of the dark. So let’s get right to it.
Kahleel wins the summer’s last Best Euphemism for Unemployed award!
The most important thing you need to know about Harrison, 25, a bouncer, is that he wears a chill hybrid of flip flops and mandals.
Shawn and Ray are twins who mightily made the trip all the way from Losertown, U.S.A. They want to “see if girls will accept us individually and not as part of a package deal,” says one of them. Dating in the dark will be great experience! “To show off who I am without my twin is just phenomenal,” says the other, or maybe the same one. I’m not going to bother telling them apart. They’re twins — they don’t deserve it. This cruel, cruel world has deemed it so. Also, you — whoever you are — have you ever considered just leaving the house by yourself?
Rossi Morreale: Welcome to my home! Marvel at my red-orange pineapple!
First group-meet. Shawn says “I like the white and red wine” and Kahleel intuits that “Shawn seems really sarcastic.” Kayla is ticked off because she was raised vegan which naturally means everyone else in the world should be as annoying vegan as she is. Right away, Kayla interrupts vegetarian Kahleel and Kahleel (pictured) gets pissed off.
We get this closeup of a bee with a sprinkling-of-fairy-dust sound effect. What could it mean?
Oh, of course, the first round of one-on-one dates. Here, Ray pollinates Kayla with his gross tongue. She was begging for it and all he had to do was not have B.O.! “One thing that really turns me on is a guy who wears deoderant.” It is later revealed that Kayla herself wears Old Spice, and I kind of would have liked to see some more exploration of that.
Suzanne, 24, starts off strong but within seconds becomes insufferable. “I love kids, but me and sleep are best friends. So I’m really not ready to give it up. I didn’t drink ’til after high school. I teach Sunday School at my church. Good girl, good grades, I’m also a good listener, but I’m ADD. Not an annoying teacher’s pet.” NEXT.
Kahleel fires off the tough questions at Shawn. “Why are you single? What’s the longest relationship you’ve had? Six months? Why so short?” I have just one for her: Why do you think you are Minnie Mouse?
Everyone gets to rummage through each other’s crap. The guys are confused by something in Kahleel’s suitcase. “What do you think this is for?” They decide it’s undies but I feel like that thing could be another makeshift wacky hair accessory. I kind of want it. Undies or headband, whatever, I just kind of like it. “Does anyone know what airbrushed legs are?” Wow, these guys really are new to reality television.
Uh oh. Kayla finds a fishing map that belongs to Ray. “Oh my God. Ray has a map.” No way. “It says ‘fishing information.’” Girrrrrrrrllllllll you can’t be serious! “He told me he was an animal lover and he’s a fisherman.” DIRTBAG!
Kayla is able to move on. “What was special about Harrison’s suitcase was the clothes he wore,” says the proud graduate of the third grade. Her final project for the class’ Narrative Writing unit continues: “I like Harrison’s suitcase way better than Ray’s suitcase. It just all fit such a beach vibe casual theme going on.”
OMG. Orange lamp: a long-lost daughter of the red-orange pineapple? Classic case of the offspring turning out to be taller than the parent. She sits, quietly, hoping to be spotted yet never making any rash moves. Red-orange pineapple will find orange lamp if it wants to. Theirs is a proud species.
More dates. Shawn can’t stand Suzanne either. HERE’S A BOWL OF CHIPS. I’m out.
Uh oh! Kahleel and Kayla have BOTH kissed Harrison in the dark. Kayla’s not havin’ it.
Suzanne will not quit speed-talking about her ADD. “I was never medicated as a child my parents were like that’s stupid.” Was it? Also, Suzanne announces she is divorced. It’s supposed to be shocking but no one even cares.
The next series of one-on-one dates takes place in the same room but now it’s an ice cream parlor. All three women choose Harrison. Maybe they can sense an icky “twin” vibe from the other two. Harrison can’t wait to spend more QT with ADD Suzanne. “Maybe if I put a little bit of ice cream in her mouth she won’t be able to talk,” he hopes. Works every time, bro, amirite???
This is what a melted, mostly eaten ice cream sundae looks like in the dark.
Harrison demands that Kahleel “put the nuts next to the banana.” Were they not already in place? Harrison: “Kahleel and I had the kind of fun you’re supposed to have with an ice cream parlor in the dark.” Awww. I think we all remember our first Ice Cream Parlor in the Dark playset. I remember making one sundae tearfully screech to the other, Then why don’t you go MARRY an ice cream sandwich???
Kayla just wants “things to go perfect in the ice cream parlor,” so she immediately force-feeds Harrison a banana.
Kayla “really really wants to kiss again” and promises Harrison she won’t tell anyone if he lets her. She promises! It’ll just air on TV — it’ll be exactly like not telling anybody. It’s your little secret. “I have so much sexual tension with you,” Kayla announces because they’re in the dark and how else would he know?
There’s splatter paint on the ice cream parlor walls. It’s probably always been there, alongside the bodily fluids and deep despair.
Shawn and Ray agree: “There’s not a single girl we would like to see in the light.” Okay, so leave! Nope, instead it’s time to drink. Check out the decanter! Rossi Morreale’s gotta keep it classy in his prop manse.
Labeled blackberries? WTF? Oh, I guess they’re leftover from the sundae bar. But then why would they be labeled? That was in the dark.
Kayla lounges in bed, dreaming up a spinoff series starring her hair, skin tone and Juicy Couture tracksuit called Dating in the Mud.
Time for the big reveals! It’s just Harrison being revealed to crazy Kayla and “high-maintenance” Kahleel, who had multiple bags of makeup in her luggage. The horror! Harrison’s excited to see Kahleel. “I picture her being African-American with a great smile. I picture her being stone-cold beautiful so I don’t even have to worry about it.” Uhhhhh.
Harrison brags to the loser-twins: “Her body was just as attractive as it felt. I thought she was absolutely beautiful. That could be a result of the makeup. I guess that’s something to keep in mind.” Tough times ensue for Harrison, who must choose between Kahleel and Kayla. “I’m not used to taking girls’ feelings into consideration,” says Harrison.
Harrison hems and haws and wonders if Kayla might be better for him because she’s more low-maintenance than Kahleel. And he’s right. If anything screams “low-maintenance,” it’s a goopy, semi-even spray tan, excessive eyeliner, and sequin appliques on one’s dress. Meanwhile, everyone waits. Kayla, on the balcony.
Kahleel, in the “piano room.”
Mr. Knockers.
Harrison chooses Kahleel!
“Bye, Kayla!” coos Kahleel as she enters the cab. (Hidden Gem of the Week: this dying-inside driver.)
Bye, Kayla.
Kahleel pretty much sums up the entire premise of the series: “We looked at each other and were like ‘we won!’ because we will definitely be seeing each other. So to all those people laughing at me in high school — I got the guy, and guess what? He’s hot!”
The end.
On Wednesday, Sept. 8, designer Minnie Mortimer kicked off the party during New York Fashion Week at New York City hot spot 1Oak.

Plastic surgeon Dr. Drew Ordon is joined by beauty expert and author of The Beauty Cookbook, Kym Douglas, in The Doctors' Extreme Facial Lab. Kym offers treatment options to Tammy, Tina and Elizabeth, who each have different concerns about their complexion.

Meet the man behind some of the dazzling looks you see each week on Mel B.: It's a Scary World—and get some A-list fashion tips, too!
When I met Mel the first time, I must say I was quite nervous. I come from a boy band on a much smaller scale than the Spice Girls, so Mel B. was like a musical goddess to me! She changed the landscape of pop groups forever.
I felt at ease the moment I walked in the door. It was like we were old high school chums catching up. And her kids?! BEYOND ADORABLE! I have a 10-year-old sister, so I know what it is like to have young ones around; it is a full-time job, one Mel tackles every day effortlessly. She was clearly meant to me a mom.
But I had a mission: to bring my vision of style to Mel. Now, Mel is certainly NOT one of those clients you just throw something on and have her walk out the door to the red carpet. She takes her fashion very seriously, as she does everything else in her life. Coming from the South and being quite the Preppy Spice, I have a much different overall aesthetic from Mel's. She is much more edgy and willing to take risks than I am. So we started with her closet. And let me tell you: If you lived in New York City, you would be lucky if this closet were your apartment. It is fabulous and HUGE!
Mel and I decided to do what I call a "closet-cleansing consultation." Out with the bad, reinvent the old, and in with the new! We must have been there for hours, as we did not agree on everything. But once we finished I felt we had a great palette to work with, and I knew exactly what I needed to get to help accentuate her style.
If Scott Robson knows three things, it’s movies, television, and online video. The current Vice President of Movie Content at MTV Networks has a resume ridden with properties and programs that bring news, gossip, and information about the silver and small screens to your computer screen.
As Editor-in-Chief at AOL Moviefone and AOL Television, Robson revitalized one of Moviefone’s flagship online video properties, Unscripted (an interactive take on blasé press junkets, where stars interview each other by way of user-submitted questions) and created a handful of his own; including The Show Girl (a fast-paced update of what’s on TV with host Maggie Furlong), The Moviephone Minute (movie news and commentary in 180 seconds or less), and Outside the Box (like Unscripted, except with a focus on television). Before that, Robson was Executive Producer at the Los Angels Times’ awards insider, The Envelope and Editor-in-Chief at E! Online.
Rossi Morreale, host of ABC’s “Dating the Dark," weighs in on love, dating, and porn. Yes, porn.
On physical attraction:
Looks do matter. You have to be physically attracted to that person. But, there has to be more. That’s why the divorce rate is so high – the physical wears off and that’s all you had to begin with.
On standards:
The average guy needs to get over himself. Guys, you’re not going to date a 10. There are only, like, three 10s in the world and you don’t even know them. Stop comparing the girl you meet in the supermarket to the girls in Maxim – they’re airbrushed anyway.
On what guys really want:
Guys really just want to be loved. They want a girl that is fun and funny and exciting, someone they can watch football with, have a good time with, take home to mom. And, they want their friends to think she’s hot.
On women’s perceptions of themselves:
Ladies, you’re not nearly as hot as you think you are. And, you’re not near as ugly as you think you are.
On happiness:
Focus on yourself, become happy in your own life. You can’t depend on your boyfriend/girlfriend/fiancé/husband/wife to make you happy.
On cheating:
As human beings, we’re longing for companionship. Guys end up trying to fill that void with multiple women, but they’re really missing something in their own life. (Yes, we know women cheat, too).
On porn and strip clubs:
Of course, there will always be a hotter body around the corner. You can go watch porn and hold onto that image, but that’s not reality. If you keep going to strip clubs, you’re going to try to find a girl like those strippers that you can still bring home to mom. And, she doesn’t exist.
On confidence:
All guys like a confident women. We like girls that like themselves. If you’re not confident and secure, you’re going to be crying all the time. And, besides, if your man likes the way you look, then why are you insecure about it?
On fake boobs:
There is nothing more annoying than a girl with big fake boobs who gets mad when people look at them. Are you serious?
On rejection:
Rejection is God’s protection. It saves you from future disappointment. Someone makes you feel like you’re not good enough? Of course you’re good enough. You’re just not what that person wanted.
On finding “The One”:
If you find “The One” early on, then great; you’re one of the lucky ones. But if you don’t, just wait. Don’t marry someone for the wrong reasons just to get married.
ABC is No. 1 on Monday Across All Key Women Demographics
For the 15th Consecutive Week – Every Week of the Summer
ABC’s “Bachelor Pad” Draws its Largest Audience Since its Debut,
While Hitting Series Highs Among Women 18-34 and Women 25-54

Drawing its largest audience (6.2 million) since its series debut, ABC’s “Bachelor Pad” hit series highs among Women 18-34 and Women 25-54 (tie).

A note about increasing DVR penetration and year-to-year rating comparisons: Year-to-year rating comparisons based on the Live + Same Day data stream are distorted by the level of DVR penetration in the Nielsen sample, which has jumped up to 37% currently, from 32% at the same point in 2009. More viewers are watching shows on their own timetables, which may not be reflected in the overnight next day numbers. The only truly valid year-to-year comparison would be one based on the Live + 7 Day metric, once those stats are released by Nielsen.

Hingham —
When Todd Newton decided to move his family from Los Angeles to Hingham, he didn’t expect such a warm welcome. “Everyone has been so nice to us,” he said. “The people of Hingham have been spectacular to me.”
Newton, who spent many years working as a host for the cable network channel, E! Entertainment Television, along with his ex-wife, Silver, made a joint decision to raise their two children somewhere other than Hollywood.
“We just didn’t think it was the environment for our kids,” Newton explained. Silver made a list of five top cities that she felt would provide the children with a down-to-earth childhood and stellar education, and Boston was at the top of the list. Silver made a trip to Boston to look at towns surrounding the city and came upon Hingham.
“She called me and said she had found the town where she wanted us to live,” Newton recaleld. “She said, ‘It’s a little town called Hingham, it’s on the water. This is it.’ So here we are.”
The family moved to town just before Christmas last year. Newton said that when they arrived there was a big snowstorm. “I’m sure that everyone here thought that was a big pain, but we loved it. We hadn’t seen snow in so long.”
Despite the fact that he and Silver are divorced, they are very close friends and only want the best for their children. Newton said that they decided to work as a united front and are both hands-on with the children. “It is important for us to co-parent,” he said. “What’s best for the children? Seeing us getting along and working together or just trying to stay together?” Newton said that he and Silver made the decision to always live within a few miles of each other so that the children are never far away from either parent. Newton expressed his love for his children by saying, “They are the reason I am alive.”
Newton has been involved in hosting many game shows in Los Angeles, such as Whammy!: The All New Press Your Luck, Gameshow Marathon on CBS, Performing As...on FOX, Made in the USA on the USA Network, and has been a host on the Home Shopping Network. Newton also hosts The Price Is Right Live!, which is a live version of the famous TV game show at Bally's Las Vegas. “The Price Is Right Live! is the number one matinee on the strip,” he said. “I have fallen in love with Las Vegas. It has top-notch entertainment and restaurants.”
He is currently the host of a new game show called Family Game Night which is on the Discovery Kids network. “Discovery Kids is going to change to a new network called The Hub Network,” Newton explained. “It will debut on Oct. 10.” Newton said he is very proud of the game shows he has hosted. “The shows are suitable for all audiences. They are quality television. I am so, so excited and so grateful,” he said.
Newton has still more to be proud of. As a certified life coach and clinical hypnotherapist, he knows how to get results. His positive attitude and friendly demeanor are infectious. Newton has been dubbed “America’s Life Coach” as a result of his coaching success. With his business partner, Laura Kronen, a top lifestyle stylist, he has presented his words of wisdom at seminars around the country and continues to encourage people to live the best life they can by using positive thinking. “The way you think, the words you choose are very important,” Newton said. “By using words of power each day, you will feel different at the end of the day. Your breathing is slower, your energy increased, and your sleep is improved.”
Newton created a new live show last year entitled Hypnotastic, which, he says, is a Vegas-style casino show. “It’s a stage hypnosis extravaganza,” he said. Newton is taking his show on the road in the next couple of weeks and was planning a show for his new town on August 21. “We’ve had a scheduling conflict with the venue we wanted to use,” he explained. “So the show is being postponed. We will definitely hold a show in the Boston area by the end of the year and all of my Hingham friends will be invited.” Newton said that because he is a trained life coach and clinical hypnotist, he knows how to put on the perfect show. “I know how to build anticipation and create excitement,” he said. “I will astonish and electrify audiences in each city.”
Growing up in St. Louis, Newton said he never wanted to move to Los Angeles to be an actor or be famous. He just wanted to entertain audiences. He mentioned that his grandmother was a comedienne during World War II and had performed with Phyllis Diller. “It’s how she made an audience feel,” Newton said. “I wanted to do that, too.”
Newton said that being the host of a game show helps him to do just that. “I get to share moments with contestants,” he said. “I can give them life-changing sums of money. I see the looks on their faces, the tears, their hands shaking, hear what they’re saying. Those are incredible moments.” He also said the schedule of a game show host is much different than people may think. “We can shoot a whole week’s worth of shows in one day. I just shoot a show, go back and change my clothes, shoot another show, change my clothes again. The entire season can be completed in a matter of weeks.”
The flexible schedule allows Newton to work on his other endeavors, including a syndicated radio show that he hosts called Life Radio with Todd Newton (www.voiceamerica.com). He said he recently interviewed his game show idol Bob Barker. When he asked Barker what his definition is for success, Barker said, “It’s doing what you love to do.” Newton is certainly doing that.

Nicole Richie and LA's Young Hot Finest Pack the Penthouse, AKA Room 64
So what did happen in the notorious Penthouse 64 you ask?
Nicole Richie & Monet Mazur (Both L.A. natives) came to the CARRERA Sunglasses Escape in Hollywood on Saturday while fiancé Joel Madden continued his European tour - they got Alternative Apparel t-shirts with Carrera-themed images silk screened on the front. Vienna Girardi showed with friends and got COVERGIRL makeovers in a side room. 90210 star Shanae Grimes also got a shirt done. New Moon's Xavier Samuel and Weeds star Hunter Parrish had guests doing double takes when the blonde lookalikes showed up to the CARRERA Sunglasses Escape in Hollywood on Saturday. Jack Osbourne showed up for a mellow evening and spent the night in the private Lancaster lounge drinking soda water.
Last night The A List and LFB Media Group hosted the sunglass brand Carrera's Escape party up at the Chateau to promote their shades. We saw a lot of friends, celebs, beautiful skyline and got some pretty cool t-shirts made. Went down stairs for dinner around 9pm where we were waited upon by a Chateau waiter who was fully obsessive compulsive and actually came by to "straighten" my silver wear at one point and bullied us into all ordering the same beverage. Then when the bill came he asked us if we wanted him to put it on three different checks. We said it was fine and we would just split it - he then brought 3 checks with the entire meal including gratuity split three ways. The bill literally read 1/3 shrimp cocktail - $5.44, 1/3 salad chicken added - $4.83, 1/3 gratuity included 15% - $11.87. Weird! I have never seen anything like that! Have you??
Then the MOST interesting thing happened! Ladies exiting the ladies room were slipping a bit more than usually on that one patch where the wood meets the foyer tiles ... after about the 5th girl ate it in front of our table, we investigated the situation ourselves and found the spot to be particularly slippery and suggested to one of the staff that they throw a towel or some flour on the spot. He laughed and said "no no we keep it that way on purpose hoping to get a show!!" Huh? Is it possible the Chateau would risk the hundreds of potential lawsuits out of boredom at their jobs? If there was a hotel who dare (and who could probably get away with it) its the Chateau!
Upstairs at the party, tight quarters were packed with Carrera gift bags, Alternative apparel silk screening, Cover Girl touch up rooms, the tattooed chef working away in the service sized kitchen of the penthouse - locally known as room 64 - and lots of party goers.
Elsewhere in LA Saturday night - Julian Schnabel talked about Dennis Hopper (RIP) at MOCA downtown and Becca Midwood unveiled new art for The Daily Truffle at her gallery opening in Bergamont Station.
What we drank: Sangria, Grapefruit Spritzer, Champagne and Pellegrino
What we ate: Mini hamburgers, fish sticks, chocolate truffles etc!
Gift Bags: Sunblock, cover girl makeup, Cafe Bustelo coffee, Carrera towel, sunblock and more sunblock !
Thanks to the sponsors ~ CARRERA Sunglasses Escape, Lancaster, COVERGIRL, Alternative Apparel, Cafe Bustelo!
Who we saw: Friends, lovers and colleagues included: Lots of LA natives from Beverly, Crossroads, Harvard-Westlake, Brentwood and Oakwood including Nicole Richie, Monet Mazur, John Stalberg (Crossroads) & Linnea Gibson Stalberg, Yosi Sergant, Ashlee Margolis (The A List) & Dan Fishman, Nola Singer, Lauren Brokaw (The Daily Truffle), Kari Feinstein (FMPR), Caroline Roman, Kevin Parker (Harvard Westlake), RJ Williams (Crossroads), Jack Osbourne, jewelry designer Anita Ko, Mcnair Zimbalist (Brentwood), and more friends art consultant Will Koppleman, Adrian Muzinich, Brent Bolthouse, actress Eva Amurri (daughter of Susan Sarandon and Italian director Franco Amurri), Erin Lucas (daughter of AC/DC bass guitarist Cliff Williams, cast member on The Hills and host for Current TV), Tamsin Lonsdale (Supper Club founder), Carly Steel, Jeanie Lim, Carlos Lopez (Neverwood High), DJ Ana Calderon, publicist turned manager Ami Zvi, Jessie Rubin, Blake Wassenaar (The A List), Samaire Armstong, Louise Roe (Olivia's competition at ELLE.com on The City), Bachelor girl Vienna Girardi, Shanae Grimes (90210), actor Xavier Samuel (New Moon), Karla Braun, Cory Kennedy, actress Sara Paxton, Kelli McKee, Rory Will, Lady Victoria Hervey, Lara shiftman with her little baby early on in the evening, Levin Rambin, Angie Banacki, Rachel Krupa, Markus Molanari (Katy Perry's BBF), Blaine Zuckerman (was at Teen vogue now People), Daniel Landver, Cojo, producer Alex Avant, Brett Ruttenberg, hair stylist Byron Williams, Cade Hudson, agent Cameron Mitchell, Cary Levine, Jenn Betts, Sarah Warda and Luke Hertzog, manager Michael Baum (clients include Nicole Richie), publicist Nicole Perna, Slate Pr's Robin Baum, Jimmy Choo publicist Sara Riff, stylist George Kotsiopoulos, actor Hunter Parrish (Weeds), Lawrence Longo, Michael Baruch, BJ Panda Bear, manager Sean Fay, Amber Lancaster, Ben Lyons, Bobby Campo, former NBA player Jalen Rose, Jarred Harris (Mad Men), Lynn Collins (Wolverine) and Taryn Manning.
Oh yeah - and that guy who walks around Sunset dressed like Jesus (beard, gladiators, tassels and all) who is semi-violent ... he was walking around on Sunset in front of the hotel - not actually at the party lol. He's becoming more famous than the Beverly hills roller skater or Harry Perry - the turban wearing guitar skater in Venice.

Hola amigos,
Summer is in full swing and I am loving it! I am keeping myself busy with new projects and family fun. My son, Vincent, turns two in September and party plans are already in the works.
anaLast Wednesday I hosted my fabulous La Buena Life 1 Day Retreat at Glen Ivy Hot Springs, in Corona, CA. It was a great day thanks to the AMAZING women that attended it. We started our day of getting to know each other and discussing why each guest had chosen to take time out for herself. These women are power players, super moms and wonder women. They understand that if their batteries are fried they have nothing to give to others. So they happily joined me for my retreat.
After we set our intentions for the day we headed off to the green for my Signature Pilates Mat Class. It was a sunny, hot morning, so in addition to a great workout we all got a little tan, too. The day proceeded with discussions about how to balance our lives and make time for family, fitness, work and fun. We enjoyed a lovely catered lunch in our cabana and enjoyed each other's company. I'd have to say that the highlight of the day was our "de-tox" session.
It was a 3-step communal process which included soaking in a steaming mineral bath, from a natural hot spring, covering ourselves in natural red clay, (mined from a nearby mountain), letting it dry and sloughing it off and lastly, entering "the grotto" where we received a moisturizing aloe treatment. When we finished we were completely rejuvenated and de-toxed with smooth, soft skin. ¡Qué fabuloso!
After our "de-tox" my guests had the opportunity to enjoy the property on their own, soak in the various pools, lie under the palm trees, read and relax. We ended the day back in our cabana, where we reflected on the day and our commitment to creating mini-retreats for ourselves, once back home.
It was a fantastic time. However, don't fret if you missed the opportunity to spaned the day with me, I will be offering plenty of other opportunities for us to connect in the very near future!

Auditions To Take Place in New York City (Sept. 12), Chicago (Sept. 14), Atlanta (Sept. 16) and Los Angeles (Sept. 19)
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - August 18, 2009 - "The Sing-Off," NBC's upcoming a capella singing competition series, will be traveling to four U.S. cities in September searching for the most talented a capella singing groups to compete on the series for a chance at an Epic Records/Sony Entertainment recording contract. Auditions will take place in New York City (Sept. 12), Chicago (Sept. 14), Atlanta (Sept. 16) and Los Angeles (Sept. 19).
A capella music has been the basis and inspiration for many top musical acts on the charts from Motown to Boyz to Men. Recently it has been the focus of national tournaments and exploded in popularity on college campuses all over the country. With a strong fan base and largely untapped talent pool, it has never been the center of a musical competition until now. The best of the best are going to compete on a national stage. From Joel Gallen's ("America's Best Dance Crew") Tenth Planet Productions, Outlaw Entertainment and Sony Pictures Television, "The Sing-Off" will feature the country's top a cappella groups performing popular songs like you've never heard them before. There's no lip-synching, back-up bands or safety net. They'll be singing for America's vote with the winner walking away with the ultimate prize - an Epic Records/Sony recording contract.

NBC/Universal Media Studios alternative topper Paul Telegdy called the show "a fantastic feel-good series" that will target multiple generations.
"To hear these singing groups recreate a popular song with only the sounds of their voices is truly amazing," he said.

"Patrick Stinson hosts a special tribute to Ed McMahon on the TV Guide Network. It's a touching look at the life and career of the former 'Tonight Show' sidekick who died Tuesday, 6-23-09 at the age of 86."
PMC's Rebekah Miller recently talked with entertainment host Sarah Karges. She grew up on a farm in Nebraska, but made her way to Los Angeles and became a cover girl for Body Glove, Bolle, Trans World Surf swimsuit issue and a few others. Sarah Karges is now invloved in both acting and hosting. She is the host of Fox Sport's Tailgate Tour where she gets to go around the country hosting at the hottest tailgating locations. Sarah will also be co-hosting the upcoming cartoon network show Brain Rush.
Q: You have hosted a lot of shows such as Fox Sport's Tailgate Tour and Cartoon Network's Brain Rush, what has been one of your favorite hosting experiences?
Sarah Karges: One of the coolest experiences was recently I did a red carpet for Fast Furious and I got to meet my crush Paul Walker who was really fun to interview and really laid back. It was really cool.
Q: Your from a small town, what made you decide to go to LA and get into acting and hosting?
SK: I always wanted to do it since I was younger and me and my friends used to make silly videos. I just did it like a month after I graduated high school. I just flew to LA and did it.
Q: Tell me about the new Cartoon Network show Brain Rush, what is that all about?
SK: Brain Rush is kind of like a kid's cash cab on a roller coaster. What happens is kids go to the park and they have no idea that they are going to be on a game show. We go and find the kids who are really scared of rides or are die hard fans of them. I find them and they get on the ride and then it is like 'surprise your on Brain Rush.' Then I ask them a series of questions while they are on the ride and while they are going upside down, high, low and all of that stuff.
Q: Do you go to different parks each time or is it at the same amusement park?
SK: We shot the first six episodes at Knott's Berry Farms and we shot it at three different rides. The first round is one ride -- there are three contestants -- and then if they make it past the first ride they go to the second ride and then whoever gets the most right on the second ride goes to the next ride. The next ride is like the craziest ride ever, you go from zero to 80 in two minutes.
Q: How did you get the job to co-host the show?
SK: I auditioned for it last October and then shot the pilot in November and it got picked up in March.
Q: You are also going to be returned as co-host for the Fox Sport's show Tailgate Tour, what are you most excited about for the second season?
SK: I'm just excited about going to new campuses and seeing the different fans. We only got to go to six last year and now we are going to 12. We get to go to USC Notre Dame which is this huge rivalry game. Just seeing the different traditions of different fans and how they tailgate is the best part.
Q: Last year you got the chance to do some acting, do you want to do more of that or just stick with hosting?
SK: You know, I'm up for anything. I love doing both of them. If something came up that was a great role I would definitely do it.
Q: Who are some TV show hosts or actors that you really admire?
SK: Right now I really like the host Cat Deeley from So You Think You Can Dance because I love to dance and that is one of my favorite shows. If I could get a show like her's I think that would be awesome.
Q: Thats all for today. Thanks for taking the time to talk with me.
