DEXTER IS BACK WITH A VENGEANCE

 

Season Seven of Dexter kicked off last night right where it left off. As one of the greatest cliff hangers in Dexter history, last season we were left to wonder just what happens after Deb catches her older brother in all his serial killer glory. For all of you Dexter fans out there, this has been a long time coming. Just how long did we think Dexter (who works for the Miami Metro Police Department none the less) could go before getting caught? The answer… six seasons.

GUYS WITH KIDS GETS UNDERWHELMING RESPONSE

 

The new NBC series Guys with Kids premiered last night, a comedy created by Jimmy Fallon and Charlie Grandy (The Office). It may be too soon to say they should stick to their day (or in Jimmy Fallon’s case) night jobs, but after last night’s premiere it is exactly what I said.

FASHION AMOUR

 

I recently had the opportunity to talk with the face of Amour Genesis, Genesis herself, a young self-starter based out of Chicago who won’t stop until she reaches the top. With a growing brand, the spokes model and host (who graduated college just last year!), talked with us about what her life is like in the busy world of fashion and beauty.

NATALIE NYLON, TOPPING EUROPE'S DJ CHARTS

 

Natalie Nylon has found great success at the top of the European DJ Promotional chart with her debut album Out of Control. Her album, which dropped last month, is a fun and energetic compilation of songs perfect for a girl’s night out on the dance floor. After years of playing different musical instruments and being in many bands, Nylon decided it was time to put her heart and soul into a solo electro-pop album, and she did just that.

DESIREE HALL, DONNER PASS LEADING LADY

 

We had the chance to talk to Desiree Hall, the lead actor in the recently released indie thriller Donner Pass. The film takes a group of kids on a wild experience at a cabin in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Although it sounds like your typical setting for a horror film, it’s not. There is much more of a plot to this film than your typical bloody massacre. Although Donner Pass marked Desiree's first time in a leading role, this wasn’t her first shot in from of the camera...and it won't be her last!
