'Real Housewives of New York' at Afterbuzz TV

The new season of 'Real Housewives of New York' started just a couple weeks ago.  That meant our Afterbuzz TV Aftershow was back in swing!  Ashley and I have been Hosting the Aftershow since season six, we're in season nine right now, Megan is back on panel with us, and we've got a new Host, Thomas Orlina joining us now!

I actually really enjoy our panel; we all get along really well and we have varying opinions which is the point.  It gives the viewers someone they can agree with since we all have different ideas.  It's also nice to get a male's perspective!  We've got most of the Housewives from last season with Tinsley Mortimer, being the new addition.  It looks like the show will be as juicy as ever, even though sometimes I like it when there's no drama.
On our second episode we actually got John Hill, a man of many talents but also a writer for 'Watch What Happens Live.'  He's also got a show on Sirius on Andy Cohen's channel.  He was a great guest and gave us the scoop.  In fact, all of our shows have been really fun.  You can see our second episode with John Hill above!  Obviously the first week was an introduction to the season and last week we got into some really interesting talk about how to handle politics, people peeping on your Snapchat and Instagram, and the fact that I'm heading to New York tomorrow morning!
Thomas, Ashley and I Hosting our 'Real Housewives of New York' Aftershow!  We missed you, Megan!
Buckle up for an exciting season and be sure to join us every Wednesday at 7:15 pm LIVE on YouTube for our 'Real Housewives of New York' Aftershow at Afterbuzz TV!  We've got lots of fun planned for this season :)

Adam Fergus & Kathryn Newton at Afterbuzz TV for 'Supernatural'

I had the pleasure of Hosting our 'Supernatural' Aftershow a couple weeks ago with some amazing guests!  Adam Fergus has been playing Mick, joined me in the studio and Kathryn Newton, who plays Claire, and has been in to Afterbuzz before, also was on the Aftershow!

Slowly but surely, Mick, has been growing on the 'Supernatural' family.  Even though he came into this season working with Mr. Ketch, who's a part of the British Men of Letter's and appear to be enemies of our beloved Sam and Dean, the fans have been starting to wonder if he's really helping the boys.  I loved how in the episode, 'Ladies Drink Free' that we got to see a softer side of both Mick and Claire.  Clearly, Mick is struggling with helping the boys and sticking with the Men of Letter's.  We also got to see some great acting from Kathryn as she was turned into a Werewolf, and we're not sure if she's truly been healed or not, but so far, so good.
I really loved this episode but as the following week came around, we lost someone.  I won't say who, so I don't spoil it, in case you haven't seen in, but I was in mourning the following week!  You can see our episode linked above!
I loved having Kathryn Newton & Adam Fergus join me at Afterbuzz to talk all about 'Supernatural!'
It's always a pleasure to see Kathryn who has been working on 'Big Little Lies' and also has a couple other projects coming up.  I had done my research on Adam and found out he'd been in a production of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream,' and has really enjoyed being a part of 'Supernatural' and joining the family.  Of course it wasn't all shop talk, I got some acting advice, we saw some emotion, and heard all about the on-set fun they have as well!  Thanks to Kathryn and Adam for joining me at Afterbuzz and I look forward to having you two in again :)

Kathryn Newton & Kim Rhodes at Afterbuzz TV

I got very lucky a couple of weeks ago to not only have Alaina Huffman & Lisa Berry come to Afterbuzz TV but the following week I had Kathryn Newton & Kim Rhodes join me in the studio!  Special thanks again to Ruth Connell for introducing me to these two fabulous women!

Kim Rhodes has been on the show throughout the last seven seasons as Sheriff Jody Mills.  She is definitely a fan favorite and someone my co-hosts and I throughout our years Hosting our 'Supernatural' Aftershow have always looked forward to seeing in an episode.  Kathryn Newton joined the 'Supernatural' cast three seasons ago and plays Claire Novak (daughter of Jimmy Novak, whose vessel was taken over by Castiel).  She has a huge following and we got a ton of positive feedback and shares because of her and Kim!
So happy to have Kathryn & Kim join me at Afterbuzz to talk about 'Supernatural'
The fans were so excited to join us in the live chat and hear all about 'Supernatural.'  There's even talk of a spin-off called 'Wayward Daughters' that would include Jody, Claire, and Alex (who Dean & Sam rescued a couple seasons ago from her Vampire family).  It was great to hear that all the women get together to watch the show and talk about it.  Most of them live tweet as well (Jensen & Jared do that too from time to time) and that gives the viewers a chance to get insider on what was going on in the scene, hear funny stories, and relate to the show.  Check out the episode below!
It was another awesome Aftershow with Kim & Kathryn joining me in the studio and getting to hear about their upcoming projects and shows; once again Kim is going to be playing a badass on 'Colony' and Kathryn has a new secret project she couldn't talk about but it's something she's currently filming.  Special thanks to these two rockstars who laughed, told great stories, and really love being a part of the 'Supernatural' family!  They also said they'd love to come back into the studio so hopefully we'll get them in before Season 11 finishes up in May!

Alaina Huffman & Lisa Berry at Afterbuzz TV

I was so excited to be back and Hosting at Afterbuzz TV after the 'Supernatural' Winter Break and even more so when Ruth Connell had introduced me to some of her friends from the show that were able to take some time and chat with me at the studio!  

In late January I had the pleasure of Hosting my 'Supernatural' Aftershow with guests Alaina Huffman (Abbadon) and Lisa Berry (Billie The Reaper)!  Abbadon has been one of my favorite villains in the show; a strong, fiery red-head that's been killed more times than she can count, but was loved by all the fans.  Billie is new to this season and the fans as well as myself are excited to learn more about her character as this season continues.  Reapers always have interesting story-lines and Tessa's was around for a few seasons, hopefully the same will be true for Billie.
Alaina, Lisa, and I at Afterbuzz
We had a really great show, talking about the current week's episode, along with some fun facts about what it's like on-set, how they deal with love scenes, Jensen & Jared, picking out your children's names, what both of them are working on (Lisa is the voice of a new comic for Wonder Woman) and more.  You can see our entire episode right here!
I really look forward to having the ladies back in the studio with me...it's so great to hear their thoughts on the series, stories about their characters, as well as their predictions.  Plus, the fans always enjoy the insider perspective as do I!  Stay tuned!

'Real Housewives of New York' Finale at Afterbuzz!

Last Tuesday, the ladies and I Hosted the Season Finale of 'Real Housewives of New York City' at Afterbuzz TV.  Lucky for us we had Kristen Taekman back in our studio to discuss the episode.  We also had a special treat before the show, manicures using Kristen's POP of Color Nail Polish Line from POC Beauty!

POP of Color Mani's at Afterbuzz TV
We arrived a little earlier to the studio than normal so Jennie Lau from Cristophe Salon in Beverly Hills could do our nails.  Megan chose a gorgeous green color called Cash Money, Fern went with a bright beautiful red called The King and since I was wearing a royal blue dress, I decided on Blue Moon.  The last time we had Kristen in the studio, she had been wearing it, and I fell in love at that moment so I was excited to try it.  It's also the first time I've had a manicure in years; I really can't remember the last one I had so it has to be at least four years ago!  When Kristen got to the studio she was wearing a lovely shade of purple called Beach Please so we all had to take a photo of our POP of Color manicures!

We can all agree that this season of 'Real Housewives of New York' was pretty wild.  With the return of Bethenny, it's been an interesting season.  New friendships were formed and others broke, but we were all along for the ride and this week starts the next few episodes of the Reunion which will certainly be explosive!  We're hoping to have Kristen back in the studio but we'll have to wait and see.  She wanted to tell us so much last week but couldn't since it would be spoilers for the Reunion episodes. Thankfully, Tuesday night is right around the corner...
Special Guest Kristen Taekman joining us at Afterbuzz TV and a special thanks to Jennie Lau
for our Manicures before showtime!  AND my new nail polish colors I can't wait to try :)
Meanwhile, it was update time for my polish so I put to use my new colors, doing a little Blue Moon on my tootsies while my fingers are sporting a great Fall color called TGIF.  Could it be Thank Goodness It's Fall?  Either way, it was nice for a little pampering at Afterbuzz last Tuesday, getting to hang out with Kristen again, who is just a breath of fresh air, and discussing one of our favorite shows!  See ya next Tuesday Housewives fans :)

'Supernatural' Finale at Afterbuzz

I can't believe how good the Finale of 'Supernatural' was this season.  Of course, the Finale of most shows don't usually disappoint; it was exciting and certainly left everyone wanting more.  Now we just have to wait until next Fall to find out what Sam & Dean will do when Darkness takes over!

In my opinion, Season 10 of 'Supernatural' had a lot more happening and developed the story more than last season when we started taping our 'Supernatural' Aftershow at Afterbuzz TV.  Unfortunately, we lost one of our original Hosts, Tom Connolly, to his job, throughout the season, so it was just Katie Campbell, Mikaela Phillips, and myself Hosting for our final episode.  The ladies and myself did a great job throughout this season, bringing in guests, having call-in's, and thanks to Tom and the Afterbuzz Crew we were able to Host and interview a bunch of the actors at Supernatural Con in Burbank which was such a wonderful experience.
Mikaela, Katie, and I after Hosting our Finale 'Supernatural' Aftershow!
This Summer I would really like to start over from the beginning of 'Supernatural' and watch from season one up to season 10.  I really got sucked into the show this past season and having our guests talk about the show and their experiences working on 'Supernatural' really draws you in even more.
You can see our Finale Aftershow for 'Supernatural' right here!

Thanks to our viewers and fans, you all have been amazing throughout this season, tweeting us, commenting on YouTube and iTunes, all of your kind words on Facebook and Instagram, and everything else!  Have a wonderful Summer and we'll see you guys in the Fall :)
See you next Fall!

Housewives at Afterbuzz! Part 2.

It's already been a pretty dramatic season of 'Real Housewives of New York' thanks to the return of Bethenny.  It certainly makes for a great Aftershow at Afterbuzz TV.  To make it even better we've had a couple of the Housewives already into the studio to talk to us about the show.

Alexis Bellino was on 'Real Housewives of Orange County' so she can offer great insight into the show since she was one of the main Housewives for four seasons.  Alexis has been busy with her own ventures but is always a ray of sunshine when she comes in to talk to us gals.  We had her on last season as well, so it's nice that she makes the trek to The Valley from Orange County!
Full panel of ladies when Alexis came to Afterbuzz TV!
 We had most of the New York Housewives call-in or visit the studio last year but one person I was really excited to meet and talk to was Kristen Taekman.  Kristen was a new Housewife to the franchise last season and quickly became one of my favorites for her incredible style and ability to speak her mind while still being polite.  Kristen was hilarious, classy, and a total natural at Hosting.  She fit in great with all of us on the panel and we would love to have her back into the studio anytime!
A fun day with gorgeous Kristen at Afterbuzz TV!
The fans really love having guests on our Aftershow and we can also reach a larger audience as well.  We've had over 10,000 views when Kristen came on just a couple weeks ago and we also get more of a discussion going on YouTube.

We'll be having Dr. Fran in again next week and more Housewives throughout the season! Stay tuned :)

Guest Hosts for our 'Supernatural' Aftershow!

We love having Guests come to Afterbuzz to talk about the show they're in, what it's like on-set, and give us any inside information without spoiling too much!  We had Travis Aaron Wade and Ruth Connell join us again earlier this month and had an absolute blast with them joining our panel.

They both came to Afterbuzz to be Guests when we had our full Hosting panel back in November so it was nice to have a more intimate setting with them this time around since it was just Katie and I.  In fact, Travis was awesome, asking Ruth all these great questions, and made Katie & I's job easy!  Both of them are busy working on projects or filming more episodes of 'Supernatural' in addition to heading out to a bunch of upcoming Conventions all over the place!
Travis & Ruth at Afterbuzz TV with Katie & I
We do know a little bit about the Convention environment since we went to Burcon last November.  It's crazy how big these things are and how much the fans love 'Supernatural.'  Needless to say, Travis and Ruth are a bundle of positive energy and really bring some great insight to our Aftershow and we LOVE their characters on the show too!  We're always looking for a return of Cole and we're happy to see Rowena's storyline continuing throughout this season and hopefully next as well.
You can see our 'Supernatural' Aftershow right here or join in on our conversations on Twitter or Facebook at #abtvsupernatural  We love hearing what you guys think :)  Thanks for watching and listening week after week!

Matt Cohen at Afterbuzz TV

A couple weeks ago my Co-Hosts and I from Afterbuzz TV had the pleasure of having Matt Cohen join us at the Afterbuzz TV Studios to watch an episode of 'Supernatural' with us and then discuss his possible return, talk about the episode, and fill us in on his busy life and upcoming new addition!

Mikaela had interviewed Matt at Supernatural Con back in November so we were really happy to have him come to the studio and chat with us again.  He's such a sweetheart; so humble and funny, and very inspirational.  Matt is one of the most charismatic actors I have met in person here in LA!
Matt Cohen joins us at Afterbuzz TV for the 'Supernatural' Aftershow
Not only did he make us laugh but he brought me to tears talking about his wife, Mandy, who is pregnant with their first child.  He is so excited to be bringing this little one into the world it was just wonderful to hear!  Matt also talked about his new movie, "Windsor Drive" which will be released at the end of the month.  He's getting to act alongside his wife and of course, that's always exciting!  He gave us some insight on the show and both Jensen and Jared, and said they were so down to earth, as we've heard from so many of our guests.  There's a reason that 'Supernatural' has been around for 10 seasons and counting, and hard-working people like them, along with the incredible cast and crew really make the show successful.

My Co-Hosts and I, including Matt, would love to see the return of his character, young John Winchester, from 'Supernatural.'  Better yet, the fans would love to see a return of his character along with the older version of John Winchester played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan together in an episode.
You can see our Interview with Matt in the above video and check out other 'Supernatural' episodes from the past two seasons at www.youtube.com/afterbuzztv.

Afterbuzz TV Guests!

Since our Afterbuzz TV Hosts attended Supernatural Con in Burbank we've been getting more guests to come in and chat on our Aftershow at the Afterbuzz TV Studios.  It's always great to get their insight of working on the set with the cast and crew, how they get into character, and other insider information. 

It was really fun talking to Ruth Connell & Travis Aaron Wade because they became friends on the set of 'Supernatural' since they appeared in an episode together, even though they were in different scenes.  Ruth is playing Rowena, Crowley's Mother, and Crowley is the King of Hell, so you can imagine how excited we were at the end of the episode to get any scoop we could on what's happening this season.  We've loved Travis' character, Cole, because he's been frustrated and troubled throughout this season in his search to avenge his father's death, and his most recent episode showed a softer side as well, including a terrific acting performance!
Tom, Katie, Ruth, Travis, Mikaela and I after Hosting for Episode 7 of 'Supernatural'
When we had Brit Sheridan in the studio, it ended up being a mini Slumber Party since it was an all girls show (Tom was out sick that night).  She filled us in on some pranks on-set and also talked about her singing career; she's got an Album & DVD coming out in January.  Try as we might, we couldn't get her to spill any details on the return of her character, Kate.  We're looking forward to Werewolf Pups and hopefully soon!
Katie, Brit, Mikaela, and I after Hosting our Slumber Party Episode 8 of 'Supernatural'
We've got some more guests coming in after the New Year once the season starts up again on January 20th.  And hopefully we'll get some major cast mates!  Until then, Happy Holidays 'Supernatural' Fans!

Interview with Misha Collins (Castiel) on 'Supernatural'

Last weekend I was at the Supernatural Convention in Burbank, California with Afterbuzz TV.  My fellow Co-Hosts, Tom Connolly, Katie Campbell, and Mikaela Phillips were all in attendance and we had the opportunity to interview some great cast members from the show 'Supernatural' that we Host an Aftershow for on Afterbuzz TV.

I got to interview Misha Collins who plays the Angel, Castiel, on the show.  He's been known as a prankster, he's directed an episode of 'Supernatural' and loves singing to his children, even when they play DJ and pick the songs.  Misha also has a restaurant recommendation if you're in the Chicago area.  You can check out the interview in the video below!
Misha was so down to earth and gave me a wonderful interview.  I was definitely a little nervous but he made me feel at ease (and I thought that was my job to make him feel comfortable).  Not to mention, he made all of us laugh with his easy-going personality and sense of humor.  It was such a treat to get to chat with him and be complimented on doing my homework ;)  Hopefully I'm making Keven, Maria, and our Afterbuzz Family proud!!

Supernatural Convention!

Last weekend my Co-Hosts for our 'Supernatural' Aftershow at Afterbuzz TV and I attended the Supernatural Convention in Burbank.  On top of getting to interview some of the actors from the show, we also got to talk to the fans, took a ride in a replica of the '67 Impala Sam & Dean drive around in, and checked out a bunch of exhibits and memorabilia.
Mikaela, myself, Tom, and Katie representing Afterbuzz TV at Supernatural Con!
Our first order of business was to walk around the Convention and check everything out.  Before we did our celebrity interviews, some of us interviewed the fans and asked them about their experience at the convention and what some of the hi-lights on 'Supernatural' have been for them.  Tom interviewed Timothy Omundson, Mikaela interviewed Matt Cohen, Katie interviewed Tahmoh Penikett, they both interviewed Mark Shepherd and I interviewed Misha Collins.  Timothy had such a wonderful positive energy about him, I can see why he's such a successful actor.  Tahmoh was so friendly and Matt told us an awesome supernatural story, both of them giving great interviews and insight on the show.  Mark had walked into the room during Matt's interview and stood behind Tom as he was filming, and it was hilarious to see the famous Crowley, sneaking up on him.  I tried to joke with him about it later but he was stone-faced and scared the crap out of me.  Lucky for us, he was just playing and he opened up so much during his interview; he was really interesting to listen to and stayed after the interview just to chat.  Misha was hilarious and endearing, talking about singing to his kids, and said one of his favorite episodes was "Fan Fiction" even though he wasn't in it.  To top it all off, he was so complimentary about my preparing and doing homework for the interview which I greatly appreciated.
With the '67 Impala
We interviewed a few more fans, each of us getting a chance to be on camera and film as well.  When we went out to look at the Impala, the owner was actually there and offered to take us on a ride around Burbank in it.  We were all so excited and it was literally one of my Top LA Moments.  To make it even more amazing, he blasted 'Carry On My Wayward Son' which Sam & Dean play when driving around in it as well.  It was really cool because he also had most of the actors from the show sign his dashboard.  I was able to interview him too!  We're really hoping that we can get some of the actors on our Aftershow because everything went so smoothly.

All of our cast interviews are up on YouTube which you can find by searching Afterbuzz TV 'Supernatural.'  Or you can check out our Aftershows which air LIVE at 11 pm on Tuesday nights and can be found on YouTube the following day or on iTunes as well.  A special thanks to Afterbuzz and Creation Entertainment for us to be able to attend Supernatural Con and meet some fantastic people...it was an absolute blast!

Pictures from Afterbuzz TV's Neon Party & Catalina!

I had so many fun pictures from our Afterbuzz TV Neon Party hosted by Maria Menounos & Keven Undergaro that I had to post just a few more!  And Catalina was so beautiful, I wanted to share a couple more from that trip as well :)
With Joe Gear and some of our Afterbuzz TV Hosts!

Extra Hosting Audition!

I had a fun audition last week for a Hosting segment on Extra.  This Hosting position was talking about Hot Deals, which could range from fashion to products.  I was excited and a little bit nervous knowing this was a big audition but that it was an awesome opportunity as well!  Right before I went in, I got a great pep talk from my Agent and was ready to go!

Matching Maria & I at the Afterbuzz TV Studios ;)
There were no sides ahead of time but when I got to the audition they had some information waiting for us.  The first thing I noticed was that every girl that was in the room, there were six of us, had bright royal blue on; either a dress or skirt and top with bright blue in it.  Clearly, it's the in-style color of the moment!  It's one of my favorite colors and I have a couple different dresses like that in my close but I was glad to set myself apart by wearing a navy dress that was fitting for the Extra style that Maria Menounos usually wears.  Foreign Exchange has become one of my new favorite stores and luckily I had just gone shopping that weekend and this dress was perfect for the audition.

After reading through three separate deals including pricing, options, celebrity fans, and other information for about 20 minutes I was memorized and it was my turn.  There were a few people in the room, in addition to another Host that was introducing our segment and playing off the information I was giving.  I really had a lot of fun with it and felt confident about the products.  The room seemed to enjoy my enthusiasm for the deals and it was one take and I was done.  Whew!

I just checked Extra.com today to see if any news had gone up and saw that they just hired someone a couple days ago and their first video went up today.  Even though it didn't work out this time I'd love to work for a show like Extra because of the opportunity to grow and learn from talented Hosts in a field that is interesting and exciting for me!  Hopefully I'll get called in for another project with them sometime soon :)
