R.I.P: Dick Van Patten

R.I.P: Dick Van Patten

8 is Enough was my seminal family show that I grew up with. The Brady Bunch was in reruns by the time I could actually watch TV.

Dick Van Patten was the best TV Dad ever! Sorry Mike Brady.

You will always be one of my fondest memories growing up.

I salute you sir with grace, gratitude and my first introduction to Betty Buckley.

Father's Day With James Durbin

James Durbin & Family

Happy Father's Day to all of you Dads out there! I thought I would honor the day here on Entertain Me with a photo of one of my favorite people, James Durbin, his wife Heidi and their son Hunter and daughter Kinzee.

James as you will recall was a runner-up on season 10 of American Idol.

With two albums under his belt, the head banging Memories of a Beautiful Disaster and the pop oriented Celebrate, James is hard at work on his third outing, and like all of you Durbinators out there I can't wait to hear what he comes up with.

You can check out a new track titled: Santa Cruz below -

No "Bad Blood" From Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift helped couple Jesse & Lindsey Rasmussen announce they are having a baby.

Jesse who work for 102.3 The Max in Louisville KY met Taylor during the usual industry media meet and greet backstage at her show.

Bringing along photos of their ultra-sound and a sign that said: "Baby's First Concert." They concealed the sign and pics in case they lost their nerve to ask Swift to help them announce the upcoming event.

According to Jesse, Taylor was so warm and welcoming that they bit the bullet and asked. 

Ms. Swift happily obliged, resulting in the sweet image above.

Congratulations to Jess & Lindsey - and Taylor Swift for being a true sweetheart! 

Keep pace with Taylor at:

Brandi Glanville Stifled

Brandi Glanville: Muzzle is the New Black 

It's a dirty job but somebody had to do it. Unfiltered Real Housewife of Beverly Hills Brandi Glanville is out of season six.

She is not leaving on her own volition, Bravo did the deed. 

This being the only Housewives show I indulge in gives me free reign to comment. While Brandi brought drama to the show, what she did was for the most part jeopardized people with her reckless non-caring attitude. 

Put simply she was downright mean for no apparent reason, toxic. Her antics on season five made me quite uncomfortable.

Rumor has it that Brandi is upset but she understands and is grateful for the opportunity.

Guess it's back to bashing your ex-husband Eddie Cibrian and his new wife Leann Rimes.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out girl!
