VH1 Needs More Couples Therapy

Couples Therapy

VH1 is delivering a second season of VH1 Couples Therapy with Alex McCord & Simon van Kempen, Shayne and Nik Lamas-Richie, Todd “Too Short” Shaw & Monica Payne, Joel “JoJo” & Tashaunda “Tiny” Hailey, and Doug Hutchison & Courtney Stodden all pouring their problems out to host and therapist Dr. Jenn Berman. The eight episode season two will premiere on October 3, 2012 at 10pm.

The Plot: From the producers of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, VH1 Couples Therapy is the first reality show to examine firsthand the real life experiences of a group of buzzed-about couples. For some of these couples, living under constant scrutiny from the media and fans makes it increasingly hard for them to stay together and VH1 wants to see why they can’t seem to go the distance.

These five couples, at a crossroads in their relationships, will join together for 21 days as they undergo intensive relationship therapy. Under the guidance of Dr. Jenn Berman, a nationally renowned relationship therapist, the couples will participate in group and individual therapy along with relationship exercises out in the “real world” to see if they can rekindle the love they used to have for one another — or if it’s simply time for them to move on.

Jack Osbourne and Rob Worsoff of Schweet Entertainment, LLC will be executive producing the 16-part series, Alpha Dogs, for Nat Geo WILD. The series will go behind the scenes into the training of dogs who are part of a special elite force helping to protect the U.S. These highly trained canines were used to help capture Osama bin Laden and were instrumental in helping to track down Saddam Hussein. They’re also important members of police departments and the Secret Service, and Alpha Dogs will be providing viewers with an exclusive peek into their training programs.
 
The episodes will be 30 minutes each and follow trainers at Indiana’s Vohne Liche Kennels, “one of the largest police-dog training facilities in the country.”
 
Nat Geo WILD Executive Vice President and General Manager Geoff Daniels explained the show’s emphasis in the official press release announcing the series: “Alpha Dogs will focus on these highly trained dog heroes that have muscle and smarts. Our viewers will love to see the incredible drills and exercises the dogs undergo, follow the instruction process with their dedicated trainers who carry top security clearances, see the application in the field for military and police units, and even watch the fun they have playing fetch on their days off.”
 
Executive producer Osbourne added, “We are excited to partner with Nat Geo WILD on this project and show everything from examining how the dogs are trained to detect drugs, weapons and improvised explosive devices to finding a hidden cell phone in a prison cell, to focusing on other real-world situations in everyday communities.”

Glee Does Call Me Maybe

Yep, that did it. I didn’t think it was possible, put I’ve reached my “Call Me Maybe” video limit. Glee‘s season four video of the cast singing “Call Me Maybe” pushed me over the top. After watching so many enthusiastic and fun versions of Carly Rae Jepsen’s massive hit song, Glee‘s take just doesn’t seem either original – or worthy of its many predecessors.

Glee kicks off season four on Thursday, September 13, 2012 at 9pm on Fox.

Starring: Clint Eastwood and Amy Adams [full cast list under the ‘Cast’ tab]
Directed By: Robert Lorenz
Release Date: September 21, 2012
Running Time: 111 minutes
Genre: Drama
MPAA Rating: PG-13 for language, sexual references, some thematic material and smoking
 
Official Synopsis: Gus Lobel (Eastwood) has been one of the best scouts in baseball for decades, but, despite his efforts to hide it, age is starting to catch up with him. Nevertheless, Gus—who can tell a pitch just by the crack of the bat—refuses to be benched for what could be the final innings of his career.
 
He may not have a choice. The front office of the Atlanta Braves is starting to question his judgment, especially with the country’s hottest batting phenom on deck for the draft. The one person who might be able to help is also the one person Gus would never ask: his daughter, Mickey (Adams), an associate at a high-powered Atlanta law firm whose drive and ambition has put her on the fast track to becoming partner. Mickey has never been close to her father, who was ill-equipped to be a single parent after the death of his wife. Even now, in the rare moments they share, he is too easily distracted by what Mickey assumes is his first love: the game.
 
Against her better judgment, and over Gus’s objections, Mickey joins him on his latest scouting trip to North Carolina, jeopardizing her own career to save his. Forced to spend time together for the first time in years, each makes new discoveries—revealing long-held truths about their past and present that could change their future.

Spotlight On: Love Letter Music Video from Clairy Browne & the Bangin Rackettes

By
Rebecca Murray

“Love Letter,” currently featured on a Heineken commercial, sounds like it could have been an Amy Winehouse hit. But the catchy song is actually from Clairy Browne & the Bangin’ Rackettes. It’s off of their debut album Baby Caught the Bus which was released digitally in November 2011.

From the group’s official site: “Power diva Clairy Browne and her harmonizing girl group The Bangin’ Rackettes formed in 2009 over a mutual love of nineties dance videos, early rhythm n’ blues records and big hair. They teamed up with a group of lovable rogue musicians and started rehearsing and recording in a barely standing ex-coffin factory in the suburbs of Melbourne, which quickly became the musical home to this young band.”

The official video for “Love Letter” was directed by Lester Francois and produced by Hannah Fox.
