Marianne’s Week in Review

It’s been such a busy week, I haven’t had any time to even tell you what I’ve been up to!
I interviewed Jane Krakowski from 30 Rock. She was pitching a new videogame on X-Box called “You’re in the Movies!” I asked her if she was a real life Gamer Girl and she said she [...]

My Day with NonSociety

I’d read so much on the Nonsociety girls – Julia Allison, Meghan Asha and Mary Rambin – since they started up back in the spring. Before that, really, if you count when Julia Allison was doing this sort of “lifecasting” solo. In fact it was probably about a year ago, when she was dating Jakob [...]

As the World Turns – Behind the Scenes

Yesterday morning, bright and early my photographer and I hopped into a car service (since no taxi driver in his right mind would take us) and headed deep into the bowels of Brooklyn to film a segment on the CBS soap opera AS THE WORLD TURNS.
We met up with Terri Colombino who plays Katie [...]

Gypsy – Broadway Behind the Scenes

I talked a while ago about going behind the scenes of Gypsy and meeting the legendary Patty Lupone. Here’s the final segment based on that trip!

Better TV: City of Ember

I talked a few weeks ago about my adventure of meeting Tim Robbins and Bill Murray during a press junkett for City of Ember. Here’s the final piece, as aired on the Better TV show.

I’ve since read mixed reviews of the movie – many saying it’s not as smart or interesting [...]

Let’s Get Physical…Physical…We’re gonna get…physical!

It’s been quite a month for celebrity interviews. Not sure why they’re all coming out of the woodwork in October, but I won’t complain. Yesterday I interviewed Olivia Newton John about her quest to educate women on breast cancer and the importance of self examination.

Olivia herself found a lump when examining her own breast [...]

City of Ember – aka fangirl Marianne interviews Bill Murray and Tim Robbins

On Thursday I went to see the press screening of the upcoming CITY OF EMBER film at the Fox headquarters. I thought it was a really fun movie and one many of you will likely enjoy. Definitely family friendly – with appeal for both adults and kids.
The premise is great – especially for post-apocalyptic [...]

Gossip Girl Leighton Meester Does Good

Yesterday I attended a charity event in Union Square sponsored by Marshalls. The campaign, Shop ‘Til it Stops, aims to stop Domestic Violence. Anyone who brought in a pair of shoes could get a new pair free. The shoes were used to create a shoe tree sculpture, commemorating the cause.
If you missed the event, [...]

Behind the Scenes Report: Gypsy

I’m a bit behind on my blogging this week – been busy!!
On Tuesday night I filmed my behind-the-scenes at Gypsy segment for Better TV. We were taken around the set by Leigh Anne Larkin, who plays Dainty June in the show.
She’s great in the play and great in real life – really friendly and [...]

Grey’s Anatomy

I know a lot of you probably tuned in to the season premiere of Grey’s Anatomy last night. Well, two days ago, I had the opportunity to interview Chandra Wilson, aka Dr. Miranda Bailey, for Better. (That’s my office mate, Better TV booker, Ashley Diamond, on the other side.)

Chandra’s character is known as “the [...]
