Dustin Fitzharris: Nadia G. Dishes On Her Hunger For Life
17 May 2012 6:42 PM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
While wearing stilettos and cooking up a feast in a kitchen decorated with decapitated dolls, television chef Nadia G. has won the hearts of not just foodies but those whose idea of cooking is microwaving a doggie bag from the night before. Her Italian sass and bitchin' attitude is addicting. In fact, she recently received Logo's NewNow Next Award for "Most Addictive Reality Star."
Life for 31-year-old Nadia G., born Nadia Giosia, couldn't be better. A native of Montreal, her show Bitchin Kitchen has helped change stereotypes of those who love spending time in the kitchen. She's often referred to as the Julia Child of the Net generation. It all began almost a decade ago when she was running her own boutique 2.0 design/branding studio and felt something was missing. It occurred to her that what she needed was some food. In 2007 Bitchin' Kitchen debuted on the Internet and gained the attention of broadcast media. »

Betty White Like You've Never Seen Her Before --Edible!
17 May 2012 12:54 PM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
Betty White is many things: a multiple Emmy winner, the star of not one, but two shows currently on TV and basically grandmother to the world. Now, she can add another attribute to that extensive list: a cake.
In honor of her roast from the Friars Club, "Cake Boss" Buddy Valastro was commissioned to make a cake of "The Golden Girls" star. The five-foot, two-inch cake was made of vanilla cake with buttercream, covered in chocolate. It was also accompanied by an edible silver fox, which was added because of White's long-time animal advocacy and to go along with the roast's theme.
The Betty White cake will be seen later this year on "Cake Boss." Season 5 of the TLC reality series kicks off Mon., May 28, 9 p.m. Et.
This isn't the first nontraditional honor White, who turned 90 in January 2012, has received this year. Earlier in 2012, the Los Angeles zoo named »

Most popular baby names: 'Twilight' holds top spot for boys' names, is toppled in the girls category
14 May 2012 8:40 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
The Social Security Administration has released its list of 2011′s most popular baby names, and Twilight reigns supreme in the boys’ category as Jacob stays in the top spot for the 13th straight year. Isabella, however, has been ousted in favor of Sophia. A surprise resurgence of nostalgia for The Golden Girls? Probably not. Sophia has been gaining popularity over the last decade as a strong, traditional, ends-in-a name with celebrity cachet (Sophia Loren, Sofia Coppola); as with other things, a little Sofia Vergara likely made all the difference.
Celebrity kids continue to have an impact on naming trends across »

Watch: 'The Golden Girls' And Gay Marriage: Classic Sitcom Showed Support 20 Years Before Obama
10 May 2012 6:34 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
Any television show that features plot lines about topics like gay marriage, AIDS, women's sexuality, death, and immigration could be considered controversial. But a television show that debuted in 1985 -- in the middle of Ronald Reagan's presidency -- tackling those topics? That's downright radical.
And that's exactly what "The Golden Girls" was -- radical. But it was also incredibly human in the way it went about discussing subject matter that in many instances had rarely been talked about before on prime time television.
Case in point: the above clip that began making the rounds on the Internet yesterday after President Obama declared his support for same-sex marriage.
In the clip, Sophia, a devoutly Catholic matriarch, explains to her roommate Blanche why everyone deserves the chance to get married -- and she did it over twenty years before Obama said the exact same thing.
It's just one of the show's »

Modern Family Recap: Disneyland Adventures
10 May 2012 5:59 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
The trip to Disneyland. It’s an enduring American tradition, all wholesome family fun and conspicuous consumption. It’s also a distinct television trope, nearly as prevalent as egg-sitting or having a character throw his back out. The Golden Girls did it, Roseanne did it, the majority of ABC’s Tgif lineup did it, and last night Modern Family got its turn to embrace corporate synergy and don its own pair of mouse ears. And as with so many other sitcom clichés, it was up to Modern Family to, if not subvert it, then to improve upon it or in some way freshen it up. Though last night’s episode was not groundbreaking nor was it anywhere near the best the show has ever offered (when an amusement park is the special guest star, narrative takes second place to scenery), it was still diverting entertainment loaded with great one-liners and »

Happy Birthday, George Clooney! See Pics of the Megastar Through the Years
6 May 2012 1:06 AM, PDT | BuzzSugar | See recent BuzzSugar news »
George Clooney is one of Hollywood's biggest movie stars, but I'm not sure he could predict his success in his early days guest-starring on Murder She Wrote and The Golden Girls. To celebrate the Oscar winner's 51st birthday today, we rounded up pics of him throughout his career, from his appearance on the short-lived 1985 series Street Hawk all the way up to his most recent role as a disillusioned man losing his wife in The Descendants. Unfortunately, we couldn't find a shot of him as "Lip Synching Transvestite" in the 1992 film The Harvest, so we'll leave that research up to you. Enjoy, and happy birthday George! View Slideshow › »

Snuffed Out: TV Series That Were Gone Too Soon
3 May 2012 8:04 AM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
The fate of Gcb, one of our favorite new shows, will be decided in the next few weeks, and right now, there's a 50/50 chance it'll survive. If it does get canceled, at least it'll instantly become a member of what we'll call the Arrested Development/Freaks & Geeks/Firefly club. Shows that were canceled before their time, and have gained cult status since they left the airwaves.
All of those programs have rabid enthusiastic followers, and in the case of Firefly and Arrested Development, that fan enthusiasm has directly led to big screen resurrections.
We're hoping Gcb gets a renewal, but while we wait, let's take a look at a few other shows throughout the years that were unfairly snuffed out, and picture ... what might have been.

Featuring a stellar cast, including Lee Pace, the incomparable Kristin Chenoweth, and Anna Friel as Dead Zooey Deschanel, Pushing Daisies »

Betty White Rallies Support For Los Angeles Politician In New Ad
2 May 2012 1:01 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Betty White is using her popularity to rally support for Los Angeles Congressman Howard Berman, who is battling to stay in office.
The Golden Girls legend and her Hot in Cleveland co-star Wendie Malick have filmed a new campaign advert urging Los Angeles residents to vote for Berman, who is fighting to remain in his congressional seat against fellow Democrat Brad Sherman following redistricting.
White has one clear reason why she is voting for the politician - he is kind to animals.
The 90 year old, who is passionate about animal rights, has called Berman a "leader who fights for the humane treatment of all animals..." adding, "and he has very nice blue eyes." »

Lisa Lampanelli gives HollywoodLife.com the scoop on her biggest fight Dayana Mendoza yet! We all know Lisa Lampanelli hasn't been the biggest fan of Dayana Mendoza on The Celebrity Apprentice this season, and on the April 29 episode, one of Lisa's fellow contestants will finally take her side!

"I feel like I'm finally vindicated," Lisa adds. "A man, or as close to a man as Clay can be considered, is going to be backing me up and saying, 'Wow, Lisa was right all along.' I saw him yelling at her in the preview, and I was like, 'You go, Blanche from The Golden Girls!'" Lisa says she's particularly proud of Clay's behavior tonight because she herself couldn't even stand to »

Schlemiel, Schlimazel: The Most Inspiring TV Theme Songs
26 April 2012 11:19 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
TV theme songs can be good for more than just introducing a show; sometimes, they can inspire you.
Take "Laverne & Shirley" for instance. The show ended 29 years ago, but the iconic theme song lives on -- and not just for the "Schlemiel! Schlimazel!" -- but because of its message. Nothing was going to stand in those ladies' way; they were going to make their dreams come true.
From songs with lyrical messages, like the theme song of "The Golden Girls," to opening tracks with inspiring cords, like "Friday Night Lights," TV theme songs have a way of sticking with viewers years after the show meets its fate.
Who hasn't imagined throwing a beret up into the air while twirling in a circle after realizing you're going to make it after all? From "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" theme song to the opening tune of "The Hills," these are HuffPost TV's most inspiring TV theme songs. »

Right now, the Buffy creator is the hottest property in cinema with the acclaimed The Cabin in the Woods and soon-to-open superhero movie Avengers Assemble. And then it's on to Shakespeare
Just one top-five, praised-to-the-rafters movie in the space of a year would be the pinnacle of most film-makers' careers. Two in a fortnight is surely beyond the fantasies of anyone whose name does not include the words "Steven" and "Spielberg". And yet it is precisely this exalted position in which the jolly, unassuming 47-year-old Joss Whedon now finds himself.
Earlier this month, the man best known as the creator of the beloved cult TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer dazzled critics and audiences with The Cabin in the Woods (which he co-wrote with the movie's director, Drew Goddard). Putting a subversive spin on multiple manifestations of the horror genre, from slasher to zombie to monster movie, it has been »

18 April 2012 10:19 PM, PDT | TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news »
Legendary TV actress Betty White has starred in many TV shows in her career -- The Golden Girls, Life with Elizabeth, Hot in Cleveland, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Golden Palace and The Betty White Show (two versions!) -- just to name a handful. Some ran for years while others were cancelled fairly quickly. How does her newest, Betty White's Off Their Rockers, stack up? Will it see season two?
White hosts the hidden camera series in which senior citizens play pranks on unsuspecting members of the younger generations. NBC gave the TV show a special preview back in January, following the network's Betty White's 90th Birthday special. It drew a 2.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 12.26 million total viewers. The debut was in fourth place in its timeslot but, at that point, was NBC's second-highest rated show of the season.

Kelly Osbourne's grey hair inspired by 'The Golden Girls' - Realbollywood.com News
12 April 2012 5:32 PM, PDT | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »
Los Angeles, April 13: Singer Kelly Osbourne says she was such a fan of the 1980s sitcom "The Golden Girls", which followed the lives of four ageing women, that she decided to adopt their hair style.
The 27-year-old denied her new look had anything to do with a channel campaign featuring a silver-haired model.
I did it because of a magazine clipping I found when I was 13 and because I'm obsessed with 'The Golden Girls'. Maybe I'll do yellow next. Maybe I'll do green," she told glamour.com.
She insists that when it comes to her style, she likes to be a leader, not a follower, reports contactmusic.com.
