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 :)
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 :)
We started off Season 12 of 'Supernatural' with a bang! After ending last year with God & Amara (his sister) going off on a 'Sabbatical' together and Mary coming back from wherever she was, I think we all were excited to see what the writers were going to come up with this year. Every episode has been a home run in my eyes, bigger, bolder, more emotion, and a whole new story with the Men of Letters London Chapter coming into play! Katie and I are back Hosting our 'Supernatural' Aftershow at Afterbuzz TV and hoping that Alexis can jump in whenever she's not too slammed with work!
In fact, during our second episode we were able to get Ruth Connell and Kathryn Newton in to discuss Rowena's return, typical 'Supernatural' talk, and also chat about Ruth's Coven Couture clothing line for Charity. Katie and I even got to wear tops from the line, super comfortable, and for a great cause! Thankfully, we got to see Rowena, but only for an episode, before she jetted off for some alone time. Meanwhile, Crowley and Castiel are working together and Mary has gone off for some solo thinking time as well.
Behind the scenes at Afterbuzz TV with Ruth & Kathryn
Ruth has been traveling all over for the Conventions and Kathryn has been busy working too and hoping for a 'Supernatural' return. You can check out our episode here :)
As we make our way into the season, I'm really happy with how it's going so far even though we've heard nothing from God or Amara. We're seeing a more sensitive side of Dean, Nina-Lopez Corrado directed last week's episode (so great to see her name up there again) and Lucifer has been banished to the depths of the ocean...for now. This week we got the return of Billie and Detective Jody Mills, saw a different side of Jody, and Billie isn't giving up the fight for souls. If you want to watch us LIVE check out our Aftershow on Thursdays at 11 pm on YouTube by searching Afterbuzz TV and upcoming LIVE streams. Feel free to join in on the chat as well and let us know what you think! You can catch all of our past Aftershows on YouTube, iTunes or Soundcloud!
I can't believe how quickly Football Training Camp came and went. 'Hard Knocks' focuses on those five weeks and specifically one team; this year it was the newly re-located back to LA Rams. After 21 years in St. Louis, they came back to Cali! This year I was Lead Hosting and Producing our segment with my new co-host, Joe Doyle. We also had Throwback Joe join us for the first and last episodes to bring a little extra to our show!
Throwback Joe, Joe Joe Doyle and I Hosting 'Hard Knocks'
I am a die-hard Packer fan and will be for life; I've been on that season ticket waiting list since I was nine years old, thanks to my Mom. They used to say by the time we were in our 50's, we would finally get tickets. Now we'll be lucky if we get them in our lifetime, thanks to Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers, along with the other greats, leading us to victory and winning the Superbowl many times over the last 20 years!
One thing I've noticed watching 'Hard Knocks' over the last few years is that you get invested in the team they are profiling. I was excited about the Falcons and even said Devonta Freeman would be a late draft pick-up for Fantasy and would yield high results and I was right! Last year's Houston Texans got me excited about their team and made me a huge fan of J.J. Watt, who I should already have been a fan of because he's from Wisconsin and played at UW-Madison. This year it was exciting to have an LA Football team and someone else to root for, and learning about the players, I really enjoyed watching Aaron Donald, William Hayes, Tavon Austin, and Austin Hill.
Over the five weeks, you get an inside look at practices, team camaraderie, the pre-season games, home life, and most importantly, cuts to the teams roster which ends with 53 players making the team. I got Throwback Joe's contact info from my friend, Shawn, who's been a Rams fan for as long as he can remember. Throwback Joe creates new Rams gear with that Throwback-style, and has some big time players on board, like Vince Ferragamo and Eric Dickerson. He gets the new players to sign the gear and then sends it out the people who have placed their orders. He's been a fan of the Rams and followed them wherever they've been so it was great having a true fan in to chat with us about the Rams. Plus, he was gracious enough to give us some gear to do a Giveaway with and send to some lucky fans!
Episode 1 of our 'Hard Knocks' Aftershow
Joe and I had a really great season Hosting our 'Hard Knocks' Aftershow at Afterbuzz TV and I will continue to keep track of the Rams this season and hopefully get to attend a game as well! Ram Nation...let's go :)
Always a believer in Mermaids! Our final 'Hard Knocks' show at Afterbuzz TV this season :)
*You can find Throwback Joe's in the App Store which you need to check out if you want to get any LA Rams gear!
I brought Vintage Mom to Afterbuzz about a month ago when I had to Host for our 'Real Housewives of New York' Aftershow! It was a show that Mom had started to watch because I was talking about it at Afterbuzz and she wanted to know what we were talking about. Needless to say, she was in for a wild ride!
I felt a little bit like Jane from 'Tarzan' with this Safari-vibe outfit but it was perfect for the hot Summer day up in Burbank. Mom wore the coral tank all the time under shirts or sweaters and the cream vest occasionally during the Summer. When I had been home in Wisconsin after she passed and gone through her closet, these still smelled like her normal laundry detergent because she had worn them more recently. When I'm back in Wisconsin I like to wear her perfume and it makes me feel a little closer to her.
It's hard to drive to Afterbuzz because on that long drive I would call Mom to ask how her day had been and talk about mine. Sometimes I'd even call her on the way home to hear what she thought about the most recent episode of 'RHONY' because she actually got into the show, as ridiculous as it was. I'm not saying she enjoyed it, but she had an opinion and it was nice to hear her perspective. I always miss talking to her; I wish I could hear her respond to the things I'm saying or asking. I know that she is responding in her own way but I wish I could hear her actual voice. Thankfully, my friends and my Dad have stepped up to the plate and I chat with them while I'm driving now and that certainly helps!
Not only am I wearing Mom's clothes but I'm wearing things that she's bought me over the years and it's a really wonderful feeling knowing she's with me all the time <3
In July I did an episode of 'The Tomorrow Show' Hosted by Keven Undergaro! This episode focused all about on-line dating, so they were calling it 'Tinder Tales' even though I'm more of a Bumble fan; I go through phases of not using it at all. Dating in LA is crazy enough just meeting someone in person, let alone by using an app. They had dating expert, Julie Spira, along with their normal panel, including Roxy & Lauren from Afterbuzz and there was plenty to talk about!
I join the show just before the 70 minute mark and although I don't have any real horror stories when it comes to on-line dating, I have some pretty crazy dating in LA stories! In this clip I talk about a guy I dated nicknamed 'Motorcycle Douchbag' and trust me, he deserved it! You'll totally understand after listening to that craziness.
Dan, Yael, and I with Julie before our appearance on 'The Tomorrow Show!'
Yael and Dan, also from Afterbuzz TV joined the show and shared some horror stories as well, so we had lots to talk about. I've had some pretty wild dating stories in the past few years but hopefully they're leading me into the path of Mr. Right! Until then, we're all having some fun :)
Rutherford and I had quite the weekend in July for the Afterbuzz TV Neon Party and then Baby's Sweet 16th Birthday Party! Maria Menounos & Keven Undergaro so graciously hosted all of us at their house for the annual Neon Party, and our other Producers set up the event as well! Maria and Keven also had everyone over on Sunday for their dog, Baby's Sweet 16th Birthday Party, and Rutherford was able to attend the festivities with me!
It was a gorgeous weekend, albeit a little hot as it was over 90 in the Valley, but thankfully there was a pool at Maria & Keven's, cold beverages, and Coldstone for the Neon Party! There was also BBQ, good people and a DJ to keep everyone on their feet. Some of my co-hosts from 'Real Housewives of New York' and I caught up and I also got to meet some of our new hosts as well. I had met Ryan before, but it was nice to see him and chat about Pokemon since the new app had just come out that weekend so it was before the madness began!
Ryan & I catching Pokemon, Phil, Keven, Steven and I catching some sun by the pool, and hanging out with my "RHONY" Co-Hosts Fern & Ashley!
Phil had invited Rutherford and I to Baby's Sweet 16, and what a party it was! It was great for Rutherford because he got to socialize with so many dogs at the party, big and small. He became very friendly with a recently-rescued Pitbull, and while the Pitbull was a little unsure around other dogs, he and Rutherford became great friends and played together. Maria had made some snacks from her new frozen food line that's coming out and they were delicious; there was plenty of food to go around, and also a snack bar of what looked like dog-friendly food, that was actually only for humans. Of course, there were treats for the dogs as well and gift bags for everyone to take home. Rutherford and I got some photos in the Photo Booth, and when Ashley arrived, we took some more with her and Winnie!
Ashley & I with Winnie & Rutherford at Baby's Sweet 16!
The Neon Party was a blast and Baby's Birthday was one of the best Birthday's I have ever been to. Thanks to Maria, Keven, Phil, and our entire Afterbuzz TV family for bringing us all a little closer together that weekend. It's great to see our friends succeed and get to celebrate our hard work :)
This season of 'Supernatural' has been incredible and really hooked me as a viewer. I've been Hosting the 'Supernatural' Aftershow at Afterbuzz for the last three seasons with some awesome co-hosts but this season really takes the cake with excitement, twists and turns, and major plot points. Not to mention all the wonderful guests that came in to discuss the show this season. What made this finale even better was that Katie and I joined some of the cast and crew of 'Supernatural' to watch the show and live-tweet with all of them!
Katie and I with Lisa Berry & Alaina Huffman at Afterbuzz TV for the 'Supernatural' Season 11 Finale!
Live-tweeting is really difficult although I'm sure it's a little easier when you're working on the show and actually know what's coming next. Seeing Lisa, Alaina, Emily (who plays The Darkness), Kathryn, Phil Sgriccia (whom directed the episode), Jim Michaels (produces the show), with Ruth skyping with all of us, was awesome. I don't know how they keep up with all of it, including retweeting, commenting, and responding. They'd go from 10 retweets to 357 in a matter of a minute; it's actually kind of mind-blowing! It was a blast to do and so glad that we were able to be involved! Thanks to Lisa for inviting us!
On Thursday we had our Finale episode of our Aftershow with Lisa and Alaina joining us in the studio. We had a great show discussing the episode and what's to come for the series since they're already locked into Season 12. With the way the show keeps going, I don't think it's ending any time soon! We had so many predictions and thoughts, there was just so much to talk about. Although, I felt a little underwhelmed with the ending; this entire time I thought someone was going to die and leave all of us hanging, but that didn't happen. Granted, The Darkness and God are off together, working on their relationship but we don't know how they'll feel when we come back next season. I still want to know what happened to Lucifer and how Rowena will come back in to play (plus I want to see a backstory on The Grand Coven) so I guess that keeps things exciting and not underwhelming! Lisa and Alaina always bring such great insight and thought as to what's going on and with the Women of Letters storyline, I feel like Alaina could come back at any time! Lisa is certainly waiting to reap Sam & Dean and will when the occasion arises. These women are fans of the show and to hear their excitement is really entertaining!
To check out the episode click on the video above. I love hearing from everyone while we're waiting for the new season so find me on Instagram at Lyndsey on Insta or tweet me on Twitter at Lyndsey Tweets. Use the hashtag: abtvsupernatural and we can discuss anything about the show! I hope you all enjoyed this season as much as I did :)
Lisa is such a huge 'Supernatural' fan so we're always so excited to have her in the studio with us to discuss everything about the show during our Aftershow at Afterbuzz TV. She came to the studio at the end of March with Nina Lopez-Corrado whom had directed the episode we were discussing that day and then Lisa joined me again at the beginning of May for another exciting episode!
We've never had a director of 'Supernatural' join us on the panel so it was really great to get that perspective on the show. We got so many questions answered and I think we all hope that Nina comes back to direct more episodes since it brought such a range of emotions out of all the actors that week. It was definitely one of the most heart-wrenching episodes to watch. And Lisa gets as excited as all of us do when talking about the show. When we talked in May we could have had another couple hours of our Aftershow since there was so much to talk about and God had finally been revealed. As some of the fans on Twitter posted, it was a #gamechanger.
Katie & I with Lisa Berry & Nina Lopez-Corrado when we discussed 'Supernatural' episode "Red Meat."
With Season 11 coming to a close on Wednesday, I can't imagine how wild the episode is going to get! We've got Lucifer and Castiel as one and we're not sure if anyone died or was expelled last episode, Rowena is back, Crowley has joined Sam & Dean to go up against The Darkness and God has been injured and we're not sure what his plans are for Amara. These were part of Lisa and I's predictions for the season finale when we talked earlier this month so we'll have to see if they come to fruition or not! Lisa is always the epitome of light and energy, she's a joy to chat with, especially about 'Supernatural.' She's real and honest and we get the insider when we talk about the show.
Lisa and I after our 'Supernatural' Aftershow at Afterbuzz TV
Katie and I will be joining Lisa and Alaina on Wednesday night to Live Tweet about the episode and I know we're both really looking forward to it! Then we'll have both of these lovely ladies join us at Afterbuzz TV on Thursday to discuss the finale and what's to come for Season 12 which will premiere in the Fall. You can always join us in the Live Chat at 12:30 pm on YouTube by searching Afterbuzz TV (upcoming shows) and you may even get a shout-out! And all of our Aftershows are up on YouTube through Afterbuzz TV as well (Supernatural on Afterbuzz TV Playlist). Thanks to our loyal 'Supernatural' fans and I hope we get some answers on Wednesday night :)
One of my co-hosts from our 'Real Housewives of New York' Aftershow at Afterbuzz TV had her book release party a couple weeks ago! We've all been long anticipating the release and I'm looking forward to reading her book, "Better in the Morning."
Fern's Book Release Party at Afterbuzz!
Megan, Ashley, Fern and I had to celebrate and take our first group photo during our Aftershow on Wednesday with cake pops and some Skinny Girl cocktails. Of course we had to support Bethenny from the Housewives. The party was on a Saturday night and my day had actually started out pretty awesome because I had an Audition
in Hollywood at noon and while waiting to go in, the Casting Director
from another project approached me and asked if I would come and
audition for the short film they were casting. I had heard of this
happening but it had never happened to me before, so it was a nice
confidence booster! I did end up finding the project on-line and saw it
was Non-Union so I wouldn't have been able to do it anyway, but
hopefully I'll have some more good luck down the line for another
project or role! It was a busy day and I was able to squeeze in going to Fern's party before heading to work that night. The party had catered food, beautiful desserts, and lots of people celebrating Fern and her book.
Fern is one of the most generous and kind people I have ever met and her positivity is absolutely contagious. We've been doing the Housewives Aftershow together for the past two years so we've gotten to know each other pretty well. You can check out some more stories on her blog here: http://www.blogher.com/myprofile/fern-ronay Or find more info on her website here: http://www.fernronay.com/
Celebrating Fern's Book Release at Afterbuzz TV during our 'Real Housewives of New York' Aftershow
"Better in the Morning" has been released on Amazon and Kindle so you can get the digital version or a hard-copy now! And make sure to leave a review when you do read it :) Fern, you rock!
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!
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!
Ashley and I work together at Bar Lubitsch. I've known her for over three years and not only is she a wonderful Bartender and Friend she's an incredibly talented Host who is very well-known in the On-line Cooking Community as she's had multiple shows airing on YouTube, Snapchat, and also Verizon. Ashley invited her other friend, Nicole (who also works at Lubitsch with us) and I to be a part of her 'Bake My Day' show presented on YouTube and sponsored by Nestle Tollhouse.
We filmed at the end of Summer for a Thanksgiving-themed episode where Ashley was baking White Chocolate Pumpkin Macadamia Nut Cookies. We talked about 'Friendsgiving' which I've become quite familiar with out here in LA since I usually go home for Christmas, so getting back to Wisconsin for Thanksgiving was out of the question. I certainly wish I would have gone home for it this past year...I'm sorry I couldn't surprise you like you wanted me to, Mom, but I'm really glad I was able to talk to you and tell you how thankful I was for you. 'Friendsgiving' is where your friends get together and celebrate the Holiday with some of the traditional fixings while bringing new treats into the mix as well.
It was such a fun day on-set, joking around with the girls, eating some tasty cookies, and celebrating Thanksgiving just a couple months early. Thanksgiving is my favorite Holiday because it's about being thankful, spending time with family and friends, and is one Holiday that is pretty much all about the food! And you all know how much I love to eat :D
Check out our episode posted above and I hope that you decide to try some White Chocolate Pumpkin Macadamia Nut Cookies on your own...but don't eat all the chips like I do!
'Hard Knocks' is back and that means I'm Hosting at Afterbuzz TV with our Football fans, Christina, Stef, and new Host, Frank this season while we talk all about the Houston Texans! J.J. Watt, originally from Wisconsin, went to school at UW-Madison is clearly the stand-out on the team but it's exciting to see new additions and other big players continuing to make plays during the pre-season and I think under the Coaching of Bill O'Brien, it's a strong team to contend with!
Hosting at Afterbuzz TV with Christina, Stef, and Frank for Week 1 of 'Hard Knocks'
The fact that we get to talk about Football for nearly an hour already excites me but when you add that insider perspective behind the scenes at training camp, you really reel me in! With the addition of some awesome players and a very New England heavy team, including Coaches. I believe the Texans will make it to the play-offs this season. Their schedule this season looks good and if their wide receivers and running backs come in confident, Hoyer will make contact, and lead his offensive team well. He's got Cecil Shorts coming from Jacksonville, DeAndre Hopkins who is currently listed as their number one receiver while Freddy Blue is listed as their number one running back. With the plays that Chris Polk was making during last week's pre-season game, I think he'll be coming in and potentially start depending on how well Blue does. Jaelon Strong also showed promise as a Rookie wide receiver so we'll just have to see what happens in the upcoming weeks. J.J. is always such a leader, and there's no doubt that their defense with Vince Wilfork, Brian Cushing, and Rahim Moore, their line is going to be massive, and I'm really liking Charles James at cornerback and jumping in at running back as well. During the show we haven't seen too much of special teams so I'll be interested in seeing who will be taking that starting position returning punts!
I was able to Lead Host during Week Two of 'Hard Knocks' so that was very exciting since we just started doing a 'Hard Knocks' show at Afterbuzz last year. I started watching Football with my Mom at a very young age, always cheering the Packers on, and my Mom put me on the Packers Season Ticket Waiting List when I was nine years old. I'm still waiting and it seems like it's going to be quite some time before I even see an opportunity for those tickets. I started Cheerleading and took camps in Middle School and was on our High School and then Winona State's Cheerleading Team all throughout college. When you're a Cheerleader, you're literally right in the action so I got used to knowing what was going on and what each of the positions had to do in order to win or lose a game. I miss being right on the sidelines when I go and see Football games nowadays.
Week Two of 'Hard Knocks' coming to ya from Afterbuzz TV
Needless to say, I've been interested in Football ever since I was a little girl and getting to Host our 'Hard Knocks' Aftershow at Afterbuzz TV is a dream come true! The perks of doing this show are the insights we get into the team as well as other teams. Finding out who will be starting or playing back-up is very beneficial when I get ready to draft for my Fantasy Football Team. I'll start doing Mock Drafts next week and figuring out where and when I can draft certain players and more than likely I'll pick up a Texan or two since I'm on the Houston train...or should I say, Wisconsinite Watt Train!
I'm looking forward to an exciting Football Season and all I can say is, Go Pack Go! And Aaron Rodgers...you'll always be my favorite <3
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 :)
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 :)
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!

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 :)
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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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!
