Michael Muhney/Eric Braeden Twitter Comments

Posted In: General Hospital, Young and the Restless

So often I have opinions on what happens in the soap world, but because of my profession as a photographer, most of the time I kept mum. It has come to the point, as my opportunities are growing outside this world, I no longer feel the need to keep quiet. Instead of sitting back and taking what they give us, it is about time to speak up on behalf of the intelligent soap watchers.

What really gets me now is the very recent Eric Braeden and Michael Muhney tweets. You see, since this entire Victor story has started on Y&R I found myself shaking my head and questioning why are they doing this entire story again? And to continue the Victor is missing, it finishes up once again with “Oh no, Victor is dead.” I said to myself “Have we not already seen this entire story, multiple times before?” ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

My Favorite Katharine McPhee Performance…

OK, may not be my actually favorite, but it is up there.  With Smash  being done for the season, I was missing hearing her voice on a weekly basis so I decided to go to YouTube and re-watch some of her Idol performances. Not only does she sound great, (I got a chuckle out of the judges harsh critique, who is laughing now?)  she is certainly stunningly gorgeous in that yellow dress! Such a smooth voice and natural beauty, she definitely disproves the song “I Have Nothing”.

Carrie Underwood’s Third Nipple!

Posted In: Entertainment

All this talk about Carrie Underwood and her new CD had me searching for videos of her on YouTube the other night. While I was not a fan of hers on Idol(I voted for Bo), I have become a huge fan of hers since then.

I came across her full audition video from her tryout with Idol. What I had never realized or just forgot was that she had a third nipple. The last person I remember hearing talk about their third nipple was Chandler Bing on Friends. (Yes, I know he is fictional)

The video from her audition is below if you would like to see the mega country star discuss it with the then Idol judges. The one thing I want to know is just how did Simon Cowell know about her third nipple anyway?

During my last trip out west I was able to cover the “Absolutely Eden” fan event for Eden Riegel held at Maggiano’s at The Grove in Los Angeles. The setting was very intimate. It was like I was joining Eden, who was accompanied by her mother Lenore Riegel, at a family dinner where everyone sat around a big table and chatted. “It went very well, I think everyone had a really great time,” Riegel said after the event. “Phyllis and Mary Beth always organize amazing events. We had a lot of very fun conversations and the food was amazing.”

If you have been following Eden on twitter (@edenriegel), you know she recently became a mom for the first time. “It’s a huge adjustment. Life will never be the same again. It has been a lot of sleepless nights and stress. From the very second he was born, I was just so worried for him all the time, but he’s doing so great. The joy is much bigger than I imagined.” ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

All My Children Fan Club Luncheon 2011 – Photo Gallery

If you are anything like me, you could not help but feel a little down yesterday knowing that they were filming the last television broadcast episode of “All My Children”. I encourage you all not to look at it as an end, but instead look at it as a new beginning. They say when one door closes, another one opens. Luckily for us, we know that “All My Children” is not ending, just getting a new beginning. I know there are many worried out there about the future, but I plead with you not to doubt or hesitate with the changes that are about to happen, instead we should all embrace what Prospect Park is offering and help them make it as successful as they plan on making it. From what I hear, they are as serious as can be with making this work and for that we must applaud them as both “All My Children” and “One Life to Live” help lead the way into the next medium of entertainment. I can go on and on about this, but perhaps I will save it for another blog if you all want to hear my thoughts. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

So I was a little slow at getting you the gallery from the 2011 General Hospital Fan Club Luncheon and I do apologize for that. But as they say, it is better late then never. Here are twenty photos to help remind you of the great time everyone had at this years luncheon.

The General Hospital Fan Club Luncheon was held at the Sportsmens Lodge in Studio City, California from July 23! It is the granddaddy of all the events during the Fan Club Weekend as most of the cast turned out to support their show and thank their fans for all of their support! Fan favorites such as Steve Burton, Maurice Benard, Kelly Monaco, Rebecca Herbst, Kirsten Storms, Jonathan Jackson and Dominic Zamprogna to name just a few of the cast members who were in attendance. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Sarah Glendening & Christina Bennett Lind – Soap Opera Weekly Pullout!

Posted In: All My Children, Software/Apps

It has become a Friday morning routine for me, since I have started using Zinio the first thing I do when I wake up is check Soap Opera Digest and Soap Opera Weekly. Not only checking for the latest news, but also looking to see what photos I may have in this weeks issues. I decide to check out Soap Opera Weekly first today, not sure why or how I normally choose. But I was quite happy to see my first pullout poster, featuring Sarah Glendening and Christina Bennett Lind who portray Marissa and Bianca on “All My Children”.

I took this shot a couple of weeks ago during the “All My Children” Fan Club luncheon. Both ladies were gracious enough all weekend long, posing for various photos during all the different events. You would never know this particular shot was taken on a Saturday evening after we all had been drained from the luncheon that ran most of the afternoon. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
