The Hottest Star In Hollywood: Heroin
Jan 4, 2017
Actors like Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Farley, and Philip Seymour Hoffman were known for more than their charm and chops. The men possessed everything from fame to fortune. While beautiful women and Oscar nods surrounded them, their personal lives were a poor parallel to the gilded screen. Heroin addiction plagued their entire beings, and, unlike the Midas touch, it robbed them blind. Both Farley and Hoffman died from an overdose. During their final hours, they indulged in a stimulant/depressant concoction. The celebrities were different yet similar: the men struggled with weight, self-image, and illness. Hoffman relapsed after decades of sobriety, and Farley was a familiar face am...

Ryan Murphy Calls Glee The Best And Worst Time In His Life
Sep 23, 2016
Ryan Murphy, love him or hate him, is a creative genius. His career is on fire now, especially after the tremendous success of multiple Emmy-award winner The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story. Murphy, however, started writing, producing and directing many years before this or his other hit shows American Horror Story and Nip/Tuck. His first show, Popular, which aired 17 years ago, is seen as a cult TV series. The quirky show, set in high school, took on issues like popularity (or lack thereof), sexuality and eating disorders. Sounds familiar? Many say Murphy’s Popular was the blueprint of what would be a breakout smash, ...

What Was Our Favorite Emmy Opening Number?
Sep 17, 2016
Ahead of tomorrow night's Primetime Emmy Awards, we decided to relive (and rank!) some of our favorite opening numbers and monologues from the past few years. Read on to find out our favorite, and let us know which one was yours! 9. Jimmy Kimmel, 2012: We loved seeing all the ladies getting ready for Emmy night, and Kathy Bates being a badass was the highlight of the opening. However, it wasn't particularly funny or smart, and the "let's all punch Jimmy Kimmel" skit got old fast. Best bit: Naked Lena Dunham eating cake on a toilet. Kathy Bates kicking ass. ...

Feeling The Joy With Amber Riley & Friends At "Christmas: A Season Of Love"
Dec 23, 2014
On Tuesday, December 16th, Amber Riley performed to a sold out crowd at The El Rey Theater in Los Angeles, CA. I had a hell of a time, let me tell you. Ms. Riley opened with "What Christmas Means To Me" and followed with a ton of great Christmas songs, but also included some of her favorite covers. Amber was so incredibly into the show and it showed in some places where you could see her and the person she was performing with stop to giggle or laugh. Endearing, to say the least. She had a jam-packed list of special guest which included B. Slade, Jordin Sparks, Kierra Sheard, Tori Kelly, Alex Newell, Shoshana Bean and Faith Evans. Her friends were in attendance as well, from Glee...

Remembering Cory Monteith: The Glee Star That Helped Teach Shelby To Never Give Up
Jul 14, 2014
Shelby Parker Staff Writer @ShelbyN92 I’d say Cory Monteith had the right idea. But, not only did he say it… he lived it. All of his fans, family and friends are still keeping his legacy alive. When Monteith passed away suddenly last July, not only were the media and fans buzzing about it, but people who had never watched an episode of Glee in their life were suddenly paying attention to him and wondering what would happen to the future of the show. The thing about Cory is, he had a lot of life in his short time on earth. Sure, he had his demons that he battled, but he didn’t let that control his li...

Remembering Cory Monteith: Laura's Personal Memories Of The Loveable And Gracious Glee Star
Jul 14, 2014
Laura Barnett Staff Writer You know how once in a blue moon you’ll meet someone and they make you feel welcome? Accepted, liked and listened to? Complete strangers don’t tend to do that during an initial conversation, but Cory Monteith did. I was lucky to meet Cory several times in both fan and press settings. A lot of celebrities act nice to the press because they’re working and it’s a part of their job. It’s not genuine and it’s sometimes very apparent. Some celebrities aren’t always nice to fans either. Fans can be needy, loud and overly excited. Some would rather just wave, smile and continue on their way, but not Cory...

Remembering Cory Monteith: The Awkward Guy That Won Dani Over
Jul 13, 2014
Dani Strehle Senior Manager @Dvstrehle I remember when I first started watching Glee. My mom told me about this show that revolved around the antics of a crew of outcast teens who were members of a glee club. She told me she knew it was something I would like and highly recommended that I watch. And watch I did. The show took a little while to find its footing. And honestly, at first, I wasn't sold. But after rewatching the pilot and following episodes a few times, I was hooked. It was mostly due to Sue Sylvester's sass that I become a Gleek. But then there was this scene where the main teacher and gl...
