House of DVF on E! is Incredible! Unfiltered, confident, talented, stunning and beautifully insightful. 8 girls compete for a dream job – a dream life, and for the chance to become Diane von Furstenberg’s international brand ambassador! (PS- If none of these girls makes it, we nominate our very own Alex for the job… He already has the PR side Seriously, we want to apply!) The first episode introduced us to the 8 talented contestants – plus two others that we’ve already forgotten about – while setting the bar high for fashion-extravaganza-realness and drama!

Episode 2 heats up with the presentation of two challenges, putting the girls to the test on their styling and inspirational skills. What’s incredible about DVF is how she takes these girls and coaches them and really invests time and energy on their development. But, sexies… that investment is as real as it guest. QueenBee herself has no filter, the best one liners and unbelievable cut-throat-to-the-point-call-out advice. Like we said… WE LOVE HER!

Review: American Horror Story: Freak Show…What You Can Expect & What Surprised Us

american horror story spoiler 1_raannt

One of our favorite things is getting the previews of new television shows days or weeks before they air.  Even though we’re watching the shows to do a “review” for the website, we still feel like kids who are watching something forbidden, being given access to information before the rest of the world.  Much was our feeling when we got the email earlier today about the first two episodes of American Horror Story: Freak Show.  OK, first of all, we are diehard American Horror Story fans, who isn’t right? We have loved every season, if not only to see how Jessica Lange and all of her fabulosity will be woven into the script.

We couldn’t wait to rush home and get into bed with the dogs and watch all of the freaks under the carnival tent.  We couldn’t wait to see Jessica Lange do something new.  Please, please let her do something new! And we couldn’t wait to be scared to death, as promised in all of the previews that this was to be the scariest season yet.  Actually, in Forbes just earlier in the day, the title of their review was: “Review: ‘American Horror Story: Freak Show’ Is the Most Horror Filled Season Yet.  The writer of that review describes Jessica Lange and Kathy Bates characters as “fascinating” and “curious”.  With such articulate adjectives, we couldn’t wait to see the first episode.

And there we were, all sitting together on our bed as the show began.  Yes, yes, we get it, we get it.  We waited for the fear and the horror.  We waited for the gruel and the surprises of the previous seasons.  We waited and…and…

And honestly we started to yawn and get tired.  Could it be that American Horror Story: Freak Show had been so played up that it couldn’t possibly compare to the previous seasons? Could it be that wunderkind Ryan Murphy has run out of creative ideas leaving Forbes magazine, FORBES!!!!!, to describe his too main characters as “fascinating” and “curious”.  No, that couldn’t be possible.  But the first episode does seem pretty lackluster and maybe that was the intention; to build the crescendo throughout the season.  God, we hope so!

So we’re sure you’re wanting to know what you can expect…sans the spoilers!

1. Jessica Lange is, of course, again fabulous and magical, constantly smoking cigarettes throughout the first episode.  Her aging “Marlene Dietrich” persona, is not fascinating, as poor Merrill Barr from Forbes wrote.  She is tragic, consuming, desperate for fame and yearning for the glamor of the stage.  But lets be honest; Jessica Lange could play a still mute and she’d still be fabulous.

2. There is tons of sexual tension this season.  TONS! Sex is implied, direct and in your face in this episode unlike the previous episodes.

3. Freak Show probably has one of the scariest clowns ever to grace the screen, on television or film.  Imagine serial killer Ed Guin meets Halloween‘s Michael Myers meets the clown from It, but scarier and in the daytime.  If you’re afraid of clowns, this will be a good one for you.

4. Heartthrob Evan Peters is super cute in this show as Jimmy Darling.  We won’t give away any secrets but let’s just say…he has special powers.

5. Sarah Paulson completely carries the entire first episode.  If you ever questioned her acting abilities previously, Freak Show will show you just how amazing she is.  Hell, she plays conjoined twins who are as different as night and day.

6. Jessica Lange already has some great one-liners that will be enough to have us coming back for more.  “My monsters wouldn’t hurt a fly.”  Or would they??? That, is the plot to the whole show!

 

We really wanted to write an amazing review and to be honest, the show isn’t horrible, it just doesn’t feel like it got started yet.  There’s a lot of creativity and many blanks unfilled that definitely make us want to carry it through the entire season.  We have a feeling this might be Murphy’s intention, to scare the audience in a way he has never scared them before…

American Horror Story: Freak Show premieres Wednesday, October 8th at 10/9c on FX.

Elizabeth Hurley as “Queen Helena” in E!’s THE ROYALS premiering March 2015

E! gives viewers an all access pass behind the velvet rope of the original celebrity family when “The Royals” premiering in March 2015. The Royals marks as E!’s first scripted original series bringing in a killer cast. For ten-episodes we’ll watch Elizabeth Hurley, Vincent Regan, William Moseley, Alexandra Park, Merritt Patterson, Jake Maskall, Ukweli Roach, Tom Austen, Sophie Colquhoun, and Oliver Milburn bring to life of fictional royalty to life.

Introducing Sophie Colquhoun as “Gemma,” who is “Prince Liam’s” sexy and snobbish ex-lover in E!’s THE ROYALS premiering March 2015
Introducing Sophie Colquhoun as “Gemma,” who is “Prince Liam’s” sexy and snobbish ex-lover in E!’s THE ROYALS premiering March 2015

Official synopsis:
The price of power has never been higher, especially when your family is under a perpetual media microscope. Welcome to the life of a Royal – a family the world adores but a lifestyle that is forced upon few. The Royal family is helmed by the noble and ethical King Simon (Regan) who struggles to keep peace amongst his family while having the weight of the world on his shoulders. Standing statuesque and elegantly by his side is Queen Helena (Hurley) who has her own motives and intentions when it comes to the power she has married into. Simon and Helena have three children including the beloved Prince Robert, the free-spirited Prince Liam (Moseley), and the controversial and rebellious Princess Eleanor (Park). The cynical and mischievous Cyrus (Maskall), brother of King Simon, lurks throughout the illustrious palace awaiting a chance to take a seat on the throne. Entrusted with the responsibility of protecting the family’s safety and secrets, but sometimes adding to them, are Eleanor’s new bodyguard Jasper (Austen), Prince Liam’s bodyguard Marcus (Roach), and Ted (Milburn), who is head of the Royal security detail. Ted has attempted to maneuver his career to keep his professional and personal life separate, however when Liam falls for Ted’s daughter Ophelia (Patterson), the lines between love and duty get blurred. Relationships become even more complicated when a blast from the past saunters through the Beefeaters’ posts in the form of the sexy and snobbish socialite Gemma (Colquhoun), Liam’s ex-lover. In a world of opulence driven by power, your next of kin may be your next worst enemy. All is fair in love and royalty.

In E!’s THE ROYALS, Alexandra Park stars as wild child “Princess Eleanor” who describes herself as “I’m just a bitch with money and power. But I sure do make it look good.”

Rachel Boston from Lifetime’s Witches of East End Shows Us Her Dark Side; An interview

rachel boston witches of east end 2nd season 1_raannt

Rachel Boston is back on Lifetimes Witches of East End and back on raannt!(We got to interview her last season too! Check it out!) The super sexy witch librarian from Witches of East End, Ingrid, goes on a roller-coaster of self-discovery and Rachel lets us in on the making of the newest season. Laitches of East Endst year we had the pleasure to be introduced to Rachel Boston and Ingrid as Witches of East End took on Lifetime TV fans everywhere and now we get to play catch up. Rachel Boston talks about the 2nd season, the cast, and what the “Darkness is Rising” tagline really means! We’re so excited for the season and can’t wait to catch it every Sunday at 9/8c only on Lifetime:

rachel boston witches of east end 2nd season 7_raannt

What should Witches of East End fans expect from the 2nd season?

Season 2 is filled with adventure and mystery! The portal to Asgard has opened and we are trying to figure out who or what came through. There will be unexpected romances, incredible twists and turns and a whole lot of magic.

What has changed for you personally since starting in Witches of East End?

I have so many new and extraordinary people in my life. From Melissa De La Cruz who wrote the novel, to our amazing show runners Maggie Friedman and Richard Hatem, the coven and our wonderful crew. I love this family. I also joined social media and it has been lovely to connect with people from all over the world. And we film in Vancouver so I live in Canada for part of the year. Lots of beautiful changes.

rachel boston witches of east end 2nd season 2_raannt

How will the new season be different from last?

We explore the dark side. My friend sent me a picture when she first saw the “Darkness is Rising” campaign and I thought it was really powerful. It said, “If you love the light, you will find your path. If you love the dark, you will navigate by the stars. If you learn to accept and love them both, you will find yourself.” That is part of the journey this season. We face the dark and discover more about who we are and what we are capable of along the way.

What’s your favorite part about playing Ingrid?

She has a huge heart. She loves her family and will fight for what is right. She is a woman of integrity and it’s inspiring to play someone who is so resilient. It’s also very fun to time travel. Playing a witch and living in a world where anything and everything is possible.

rachel boston witches of east end 2nd season 3_raannt

What should we expect from Ingrid this season?

Expect the unexpected for Ingrid this season. Ever since the portal opened she’s been sleepwalking and somehow ends up in the woods with a man/Mandragora from another world. He’s very powerful so that takes us on quite a journey. She also helps guide and teach some new warlocks as they explore their gifts. And love is in the air. It’s complicated but love is definitely on her mind.

Describe your cast-mates with just one word:

One word! Oh my!
Julia Ormond: powerful
Daniel DiTomasso: soulful
Jenna Dewan Tatum: magical
Madchen Amick: fearless
Eric Winter: delightful
Christian Cooke: hilarious

rachel boston witches of east end 2nd season 5_raannt

Re-define sexy? And would Ingrid define sexy?

A deep appreciation for life. A seeker, a dreamer, a person filled with hope and wonder, compassion and kindness. A beautiful, honest soul.

What’s the sexiest City? Hotel? Place to vacation? Co-star?

I moved to New York City when I was a teenager so NYC will always be sexy and magical to me. I also adore little bed and breakfasts. I stayed at a place called Los Poblanos when I was filming in New Mexico a few years ago and it was so romantic. Right on the Rio Grande. Connecting with nature inspires my heart and makes my soul feel alive. Hawaii is beyond sexy and beautiful and i really want to visit Switzerland.

Sexy co-stars? Hmmm. Where do I start? Christian, Daniel, and Eric are all very sexy. And the coven. We have a very sexy coven.

rachel boston witches of east end 2nd season 6_raannt

Any spoilers you can let us in?

Dash and Ingrid have the same brain chemistry so it will be very exciting to explore what that might mean. And we reconnect with people who knew our family before we left Asgard. It’s a very exciting and adventure filled season!

What are your three simple luxuries?

Reading at night by candlelight, a cozy bed with way too many pillows, and long walks or hikes on a beautiful day.

 

Make sure to catch Witches of East End on Lifetime every Sunday 9/8c!

Noelle Reno, Lady Hustler from Ladies of London! An Interview

Ladies Of London - Season 1

Noelle Reno from Bravo’s Ladies of London is incredible! Really a true testament of work hard, Play hard, look fab! The gorgeous American doll has become a household name by not only embracing the social pages of London’s newspapers but now our TV screens as well in Bravo’s reality hit Ladies of London! Throughout the season so far, Noelle has been described as a hustler… and in the best possible way! She works hard, she networks, she goes after what she wants, and she truly fits in with the rest of the ladies… Noelle Reno has made a good name for herself and has brought a fun dynamic to the circle that makes Ladies of London. Lady Hustler takes some time off to chat with us about the show, the other ladies and what is next for her! Don’t forget to catch Ladies of London on Bravo Monday 10/11c:

Ladies Of London - Season 1

Introduce yourself in 5 words or less.
Fashion entrepreneur, TV presenter, and friend

What should Bravo TV fans expect from the rest of the Ladies of London season?
In the last two episodes, my personal life gets more ‘stable’ which helps with the stress viewers are seeing me go through in the beginning part of the season. As a group, one particular riff comes to a head in a rather big way, and then there is a very unfortunate accident.

Ladies Of London - Season 1

What makes you a Lady of London?
In a superficial way it’s being part of certain social circles of London and being seen as aspirational and glamorous. In another way, it’s being able to hold yourself in certain situations with some degree of manners.

How does the London modeling business differ from the one in America?
The look here is much more edgy and androgynous. It’s also quite competitive in this market.

Describe each of the Ladies using just one word:
Caprice Bourret: Driven
Marissa Hermer: Gracious
Julie Montagu: Kind
Annabelle Neilson: Confident
Caroline Stanbury: Ambitious

noelle ladies of london 4_raannt

How do you define sexy?
Self-assurance. Also I think it’s much sexier when a woman leaves a bit to the imagination.

What’s the sexiest City? Hotel? Club? Current Fashion Model?
Miami, Chateau Marmont in LA, Kate Upton

noelle ladies of london 6_raannt

Looking back at your Ladies of London experience, is there anything you would do differently?
Yes, a lot. I should have been more outspoken about the reality of my life with Scot. It was presented like Scot has money and I’m with him for this. It’s never mentioned that I pay half the rent, all the bills, and pick up the check when we go out! This has been very hard for me to take.

Also, I would have tried to relax more. I do a lot of TV presenting but reality is a totally different world and I found it hard to be my fun, relaxed self. A big learning process it is.

Ladies Of London - Season 1

What’s next for Noelle Reno?
Currently I’m consulting for two retail companies in addition to moving in to development on a project I’ve had going for over a year. I can’t wait til I can talk about it. Oh, I’m also doing my travel blog for The Huffington Post and about to start a lifestyle blog for Hello magazine!

What are your three simple luxuries?
Making time for the gym as it keeps me healthy. One day a month in the Akasha Spa at Cafe Royal in London as it keep me sane. Getting my hair and eyebrows done at Neville’s salon as it keeps me looking decent.

Sookie (Anna Paquin) hatches a dangerous plan to take down the H-Vamps, even as Vince (Brett Rickaby) and his armed vigilantes pose an equally serious threat. Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) gets high with James (Nathan Parsons); Jason (Ryan Kwanten) eyes a family future with Violet (Karolina Wydra); Willa (Amelia Rose Blaire) is forced to find a new place to stay; Sarah Newlin (Anna Camp) sheds her past. Pam (Kristin Bauer van Straten) offers Eric (Alexander Skarsgård) a compelling reason to return to Louisiana – and be the vampire he used to be.
Man oh man!! 2 episodes into the final season and we wish HBO would pull a “Orange is The New Black” and post all episodes at once! I mean, the anticipation is killing us!!! This coming ep Sookie is pulling a “Sookie” and may just fuck things up for all or! Save the town and make people love her… doubtful but wishful…. What do you guys think?!

true blood episode 73 fire in the hole 2_raanntPictured: Nathan Parsons, Nelsan Ellis – Credit: James P. Johnson/HBO

What do we think about this little duo? I mean, is James totally playing Lafayette or are they really gonna bang? Maybe he’s just in it for the drugs? Who knows… but we’re totally dying to find out.

Confidant and secure, aka ME!

Stephen Bamber Jr

Escape Club - Season: 1

What’s one word that best describes you?

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

What is something about you we wouldn’t know by looking at you?

I can have a temper

What should E! fans expect from Escape Club?

E! fans should expect to be entertained. Partying/crying/yelling/fighting/loving/ leaving/ surprises / chaos/ paradise/ hook ups/ lies and sexy people

Let’s play screw, marry, kill: Out of the 11 other cast members who would you:

Screw: Pre show all the girls. Post show Lisa Tursini
Marry: Lisa Tursini
Kill: No one

Why did you join the Escape Club?

I joined the escape club to take a vacation away from the rut I was in. Jobless and at home with the parents I needed a getaway to escape the current situation.

Define sexy:

Sexy is sexually interesting or exciting. Radiating sexuality. Risqué.

 

Jesse Blum

Escape Club - Season 1

What’s one word that best describes you?

EXCLUSIVE

What is something about you we wouldn’t know by looking at you?

My family is the most important thing to me.

What should E! fans expect from Escape Club?

When you think you have things figured out guess again. The calmer it looks the stormy it’s going to get. People think they have friends…guess again! The bigger and better prize comes with a larger consequence.

Why did you join the Escape Club?

Working different jobs as a Nursing assistant, personal trainer, and webcam model has me a bit lost in life. It took me a while to admit that I didn’t have everything planned out. Taking a chance right now with a new direction can’t hurt. Joining the escape club should give me a chance to figure out who I am and find a path in life. Most important I need to find motivation in life again. Motivation is huge for me and would be really meaningful to find. Finding that one job and getting a place I can call home would mean the world to me!

Define sexy.

Sexy is looking hot and cute at the same time. Not many people can pull this off. Sexy is about being the amazing person on the inside and not even knowing how great you look on the outside. Being sexy of course can be when you walk into a room everyone stairs and wonders who the hell is that. What I really look for in sexiness is a woman who can turn heads with whatever she has on, has those beautiful curves everywhere and most important once they open their mouth people can’t get enough of them. I see a ton of sexy people but damn once they start talking it’s all about them and I really don’t care how HOT they are if they can’t simply just have a conversation.

Meagan Reedy

Escape Club - Season: 1

What’s one word that best describes you?

Free Spirit

What is something about you we wouldn’t know by looking at you?

I’m a tomboy at heart. I would rather be in blue jeans all day than put on makeup and dress. It’s fun every now and then to get nice that’s part of being a girl!

What should E! fans expect from Escape Club?

Fans should expect a lot of DRAMA for sure. Also I believe a lot of the viewers will be able to relate with most of the cast members. I know me personally have been through a lot with men in my life. I think that women will relate to my situation.

Let’s play screw, marry, kill: Out of the 11 other cast members who would you:

Screw: Lisa B’s Boobs
Marry: Ellie’s soul
Kill: make love not war (no one)

Why did you join the Escape Club?

I joined the Escape Club because I needed a break from the real world to clear my head and really figure out me. I have always ran from everything in my life and I was so sick of it. When arriving to the Escape Club I was a little out of control. It wasn’t until a reality check I realized I really had some issues and ALOT to change in my life. I was in deep hole that I wasn’t getting out of. It wasn’t until the whole experience was over that it all hit me. I did a lot of things in that house that I regret but they were all mistakes I have made in the past my real life that I needed to LEARN from. I am a firm believer in the saying “Everything Happens For a Reason” I just needed this experience to confirm that!

Define sexy:

Sexy is being yourself and ok in your own skin. Knowing that you are who you are and believing in yourself. The sexiest woman is the one who walks with her head high knowing that she can do anything that she puts your mind too.

 

Lisa Baldassarre

Elly Kho

Escape Club - Season 1

What’s one word that best describes you?

Vivacious

What is something about you we wouldn’t know by looking at you?

I’m very philosophical. And a gourmet chef, an owner of a python snake and a lover of high adrenalin activities.

What should E! fans expect from Escape Club?

Betrayal, foolishness, twists, turns and a gorgeous funny Persian girl who is a spitfire!

Let’s play screw, marry, kill: Out of the 11 other cast members who would you:

Screw: Myself
Mary: Meagan. She would brighten up any day!
Kill: I don’t care enough about the haters. But if a couple dropped dead, I wouldn’t blink.

Why did you join the Escape Club?

I wanted to get out of the monotony of daily life and to feel the way I did when I traveled the world by myself. That sense of wonder, enlightenment and self-exploration is what made me grow so much as a person and as you get older, responsibilities can kill your creativity. I needed a fresh new perspective to solidify my decision to switch careers and how to take on my 30’s by the balls!

I have always always done the sensible thing. Go to school, get a good job, save money, start a family, act like a lady, etc. My dad taught me to work hard…all the time. Even when I traveled to Australia, Europe and Hawaii it was always for school. When I traveled to NYC or the Bahamas it was for work. I have never dropped everything and took off on a trip especially when I had so much going on in my life. I gave up a prestigious high-paying position and payed $15,000 to learn cosmetology only to find I’m in class with people who don’t have the same opportunities and education as me. Also planning a wedding is hard to be excited about when my career is doing a 180. All the doubts get to me and I truly feel like I need to get away from myself to gain insight and create specific goals and stop questioning my decision! The end of my 20’s is not as fun as I thought it would be. All my friends are dropping off, getting married, broke or plain boring. When did life become all about responsibilities???!! Ew.

Define sexy:

I’m extremely picky. I think someone who is a bit shy, mysterious, entrepreneurial, driven, intellectual, a little sarcastic, disciplined, generous, chiseled, funny, sweet and well groomed is sexy. James Bond type minus any douche. I can’t stand arrogant men. Yuck!

 

Donny Ghilardi

Escape Club - Season 1

What’s one word that best describes you?

Passionate, I put forth my full effort when I am passionate about something and there is nothing that will stop me once I put my mind to it.

What is something about you we wouldn’t know by looking at you?

Well I get prejudged a lot because I am a big guy and people automatically think I am an arrogant tough guy. In reality I am an educated individual with a big heart that loves to laugh.

What should E! fans expect from Escape Club?

Man, this show has it all. One minute you think you know someone and then everything changes. It is going to be very entertaining. This show is absolutely crazy. Sit back and enjoy.

Let’s play screw, marry, kill: Out of the 11 other cast members who would you:

Screw: Lisa B, little dark haired Italian just my style.
Marry: Lisa T, she is the sweetest girl and doesn’t have a mean bone in her body. I can see myself coming home from work with my dinner made and laundry folded.
Kill: Elly, this girl just doesn’t get it. She has no filter, doesn’t know when to keep her mouth shut, and doesn’t learn from her mistakes.

Why did you join the Escape Club?

I joined in order to get away from my life. I wanted time to live stress free and really concentrate on myself and what I want to do with my life. I wanted a chance away from my job, friends, family to really reflect on Donny. Boy was I wrong, the stress just came in a different form.

Define sexy:

I think sexy is far more than looks. Sexy is when a girl is confident in herself and can portray that to others. Everyone has flaws, but someone who is proud of who they are and not afraid to let their flaws show.
