After acting in several Dutch plays, movies, and television series, van Wageningen was asked to come to Hollywood to appear in Steven Spielbergs "Minority Report."

He has starred opposite Amanda Burton, Vin Diesel, Angelina Jolie, (in "Beyond Borders") Judi Dench, Colin Farrell, (in "The New World"),Christian Bale, Christopher Plummer and Clive Owen. In the recent Emilio Estevez movie, "The Way," he won audiences over (including me!) with his portrayal of "Joost," an affable but tortured traveler on the pilgramage of the Camino de Santiago, taken by Martin Sheens character Tom, to honor his sons death. (Personal note: Do not miss this movie. Look for it. In my opinion, it is the best movie of this year.)

MARKETA IRGLOVA- TAKE 2 - Nov 19,2011 | RESCHEDULED FROM 11/15. She WILL be here! Marketa Irglovás calling in life came when she was chosen in 2006, at the age of eighteen, to write music for a small independent movie, then co-star in the production. "Once," an award-winning critic and fan favorite, as "The Little Film That Could." And it did, when one of the songs written and performed by Glen Hansard and Marketa, "Falling Slowly," went on to win each of them an Academy Award in 2008 for Best Original Song. Its been nearly 4 years since host Jon Stewart brought Marketa back up on the stage to allow her the time to finish her acceptance speech when she was cut off by the music. A first in the Awards history, and a moment that took her from relative obscurity to Yahoos most searched person in one day. Marketa Irglová was born in the Czech Repbulic in 1988. Her father was a concert promoter, and music was a constant in her household, where she began piano lessons at age 8, and started guitar lessons a year later, at her mothers insistence, because a piano would be "too impractical to haul around." By the time she was 12, she was considered a child prodigy by many in her home country and on the fast track to becoming a classical pianist. In 2004, Marketa met Glen Hansard of the band, "The Frames," through her father, who was promoting their shows. A friendship was struck and the seeds for what would become "The Swell Season" took root. She has toured and recorded with "The Swell Season" and as a vocalist in the band "Iron and Wine," loaned her voice to an episode of "The Simpsons," and given feedback on the upcoming musical version of "Once," slated for Broadway in 2012. Her first solo album, "Anar," was released on October 11, 2011. I will play selections on the show from this great CD. | 11/18/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

AILEEN BORDMAN- MONET'S PALATE - Nov 09,2011 | Aileen Bordman wrote and created "Monets Palate" out of her passion for all of the worlds Monet inhabited: his art, cuisine, and gardens. In her words: "Monets Palate is all about passion borne one Spring day in Giverny. As I sat at Monets dining room table, surrounded by flowers, a glass of spirited apple cidre, ripe Camembert cheese running from its shell, and crusty bread before me, I pondered. Simultaneously, the sweet scent of apples from the cidre blended with the bouquet of the Giverny flowers picked that morning in the garden. It was an "aha" moment. I now unerstood that Claude Monet knew how to draw all the beauty from all the best in life and bring them together- whether on his dining room table or on his canvas. I then thought of the similarities between great chefs and great artists like Monet: one with a canvas, the other with a plate. Palate to Palette. I knew these passions, though different, were similar. . . we eat with our eyes first, and the beauty a chef prepares on plate is art. . .I decided to create a film which would weave the lifestyle of Monet and include both his art and cuisine. By traveling the world to meet and dine with great chefs, like Michel Richard, Roger Vergé, Alice Waters, Daniel Boulud, the beauty and joy of a life well-lead revealed itself to me." She traveled from Giverny to Paris, to London and Venice, following Monets footsteps to bring his passion of the ar on the plate to life. Monets Palate means all the good things in life, the voyagers curiosity expressed by Claude Monet and captured for all to enjoy. Introduction by Meryl Streep. | 11/8/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

FILMMAKER DARON KER - Oct 21,2011 | Daron Ker carries a film school degree and a great respect for Kubrick, Scorsese, Coppola. But he is anything but ordinary. First, the subject matter of his two films, as different on the surface as can be. "Rice Field of Dreams," documents the attemps of a Cambodian refugee with an Alabama accent, named Joe Cook, who returns to his country to establish a competitve baseball program. Another film, "I Ride," introduces audiences to the Fryed Brothers Band, a rock group that plays almost exclusively for motorcycle clubs and rallies, living a nomadic life on the road. Both films, scheduled for December release, continue to fascinate audiences and critics alike. Ker, a Cambodian-American, as a child was interned with his family during Pol Pots reign of terror in the 1970s (which was the basis for the Oscar-winning, "The Killing Fields"). There he was exposed to great filmmaking, seeing Kubricks "Spartacus" projected onto a white sheet to entertain the imprisoned refugees. Although he didnt speak the language, the films powerful visuals made a deep impression. Eventually his family emigrated to Southern California in the US. While many young Cambodian men wound up in gangs or behind bars, Daron followed a different path, moving to San Francisco to attend film school. With limited resources, his first film, "Rice Field of Dreams," lead him back to his homeland for the first time in three decades, where his heart was broken, seeing all the kids. He decided that it was up to him to step in and show American audiences what Cambodians have gone through, and who they are.

"COACH" BEN WADE: SURVIVOR: SOUTH PACIFIC - Sep 09,2011 | Will the third time be the charm? "Coach" Benjamin Wade was first seen on "Survivor: Tocantins," in 2009, where he was the chief antagonist, known as the "Dragon Slayer." His colorful personality caused him to be one of the most controversial characters to ever play the game, and he made it to 5th place. He returned for the 20th anniversary season of "Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains," as a kinder, softer, and more sympathetic character, although he was, of course, on the "Villains" side. Unfortunately, he was the 9th tribal member to be voted off when outsiders to his majority alliance convinced them that Coach was not trustworthy. Is the third time the charm? Well find out when "Survivor: South Pacific" premieres on Wednesday, September 14th, on CBS. "Coach" Wade still owns his eclectic persona that viewers love from previous seasons, but the symphony conductor, men’s soccer coach and pastor promises that, “Coach 3.0 is going to be different than any time you’ve seen him.” | 9/8/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Celebrity Psychic Cheri Mancuso - Jun 24,2011 | Psychic Cheri Mancuso had her first "vision" while at a favorite spot at the Allegheny River, in New York. She saw herself as a young woman tending to her children as they played in the river. It was so real, it stayed with her, and when she entered Metaphysical studies years later, she realized it was a vision of a past life experience. This started a long journey in Psychic Mediumship. Cheris first predictive vision of her always- healthy father dying in a car of a heart attack, happened 3 weeks later, when he was 46. Following that unfortunate vision, Cheri shut out her visions for many years, until she began having nightly visions of the LA areas "night stalker" murders each night before they occurred. This lead to a five year study in Metaphysics that taught her to understand her psychic ability and control hr visions. She learned how to contact her spirit guides and interpret messages they sent her through the use of symbols. She was able to rid houses of unwanted spirits, find missing objects, and predict clients futures. Cheri developed a huge clientele, including celebrities and Fortune 500 executives. She began forecasting the stock market, predicting business mergers and trial outcomes, and selecting film scripts for actors/producers. Her career took a major turn when Cheri was asked to work on a missing person case in Canada. She found the missing man, who had been murdered, in just 4 days, leading her to become a "Psychic Detective," which she believes to be her true calling. Cheri now lives in Southern California, focusing on her celebrity clientle and taking occasional police cases. | 6/23/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

The 120-seat Italian-inspired spot will feature snacks, small plates, and artisanal pizzas with seasonal ingredients influenced by the food Chef Isabella grew up eating in New Jersey, prepared by his Italian grandmother. Chef Isabellas formal training began at The Restaurant School in New York, where he took classes and cooked his way through some of New York Citys finest establishments. After honing his skills in The Big Apple, he traveled down the coast to Philadelphia, first working as a sous chef for James Beard award winner, Douglas Rodriguez, at "Alma de Cuba," then a host of other Stephen Starr restaurants. At El Vez, Mike learned the true craft of Latin cuisine under the direction of Jose Garces, and as Executive Sous Chef of Marcus Samuelssons "Washington Square," he educated himself on the strenuous, yet exciting task of opening a fine dining establishment. Relocating to Atlanta, Mike became Chef de Cuisine at a top Greek restaurant, "Kyma," immersing himself in the traditions of one of the worlds oldest cuisines. Traveling through Greece and the Middle East, Chef Isabella learned the nuances of these cuisines, which helped form a base for his culinary imagination.

ZOE MOON INTERVIEW - Jun 08,2011 | Ohio born Zoe Moon originally moved to Los Angeles to pursue music. She signed a publishing deal with BMG Music and recorded for the legendary Clive Davis Arista Records, touring across two continents. She headlined her own shows and opened for many personal favorites, including David Bowie, Sir Elton John, Beck, and Hole. Having been initiated into the esoteric world at a very young age, it was natural for Zoe to read astrological charts for those she met on the road, in the studio, on set, or at her concerts. The technical director on "Will and Grace" approached her to shoot a reality show titled "The Adventures of the Abductees," featuring her band, which aired nationally on cable television for a year. Zoe next came aboard on an independent film company to write, direct, and star in spiritually edgy projects she and her partners would develop. "Zoe" means "Circle of Life," and is the root word for "zodiac." As her name implies, she began to come full circle when the film industry began pursuing her to read for them. She has spent several years as a much sought-after counselor in private readings for top directors, producers, actors, and writers, and other insiders who are trying to time their premieres, shoot dates, auditions, casting calls, contracts, and to find the right chemistry between actors. Zoes popularity crosses all lines, as is evidenced by her loyal following on "The Zoe Moon Astrology Show," a live one-hour radio show every Thursday night on CBS radios "The New Sky Radio," at 5 pm PT/8 pm ET. She also makes frequent appearances as a favorite guest on several other shows. websites: http://zoemoonastrology.blogspot.com/ http://sky.radio.com/shows/the-zoe-moon-astrology-show | 6/7/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

In spite of being bullied by schoolmates for being one of the few boys in the class, he persisted, quickly realizing cooking was his passion. Jon graduated college in Great Britain and worked at several restaurants, leading to appearances on British television. It wasnt long before America discovered him, and he answered the call from America, leaving everything he had known behind him and traveling to America, arriving in Florida with two thousand dollars in his pocket. Jon quickly began producing and starring in his own local access television show soon after taking a position as the regular midday chef at Orlandos FOX affiliate station, landing him on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" within a year.

His ambition and eagerness had him volunteering for any work that kept him on the lot and in clear view. Before long he landed a role as a series regular on "The Link Men." When production ended after only 10 episodes, he headed for England, where he became a drugger in a rock band. After three years of what he calls "intense experiences" and witnessing the greatest music ever, he decided to give up the musicians life and do what he really wanted to do: act. Back in Australian in 1972, Tristan found himself working in everything from television to radio for the next seven years, then decided it was time to move again, this time to California. In 1980, Tristan was given a role on "General Hospital," and it forever changed his life. Because he developed a large following, then-producer Gloria Monty changed his role from 3 weeks to a 3-year contract role, resulting in appearances on many prominent television series of the 1980-90's. During this period Tristan became involved in the American Cinema Awards Foundation, created to honor achievement in cinema. As VP and Director of the shows, he helped raise over four million dollars for the Motion Picture Retirement Home and Hospital. After making the decision to leave "General Hospital" in 1992, he then spent several years researching a show about his first love, motor racing, eventually being instrumental in launching the Canadian show, "Fast Track," and then returned to "General Hospital" in 2006.

ART OF LIVING SUNDAY SHOW - Mar 07,2011 | MEATBALL MASTER DANIEL MANCINI Daniel, a Brooklyn native, spent thirty years in the clothing industry before leaving in 2007 to follow his dream: to launch a meatball company based on his Grandma Anna’s family recipe that she taught him when he was 15 years old. Believing so much in the comfort food that simmered for hours every Sunday in his Grandma’s Brooklyn house, Daniel wanted to send people back to the dinner table, and he went for ibt in the worst economic times. He made one believer after another starting with his neighbor who used to run Alpine Lace to buyers at Whole Foods and Fresh Market, and even landing them in Martha Stewart's hands. After tasting them herself, she quickly invited him on her show. What he originally thought to be a quick end-of-show appearance turned out having him as the first guest for a full 30 minutes. Sales skyrocketed, and Daniel was well on his way to becoming the Meatball King. With only eight ingredients, hard work, good exposure and a little luck, Daniel has gone from making 50,000 meatballs a month a year ago, to 300,000 that he expects will become 700,000 per month by mid-year. The year 2010 was declared the Year of the Meatball. And today, the product called Mama Mancini’s Meatballs and Sunday Sauce is spreading nationwide and just experienced a 300% growth spurt this year. | 3/6/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

GILLES MARINI - Feb 14,2011 | VALENTINE SPECIAL Though he has become unbelievably busy, with an impossible schedule, I am happy to bring back French actor/model heartthrob, Gilles Marini, to Olivia Wilder Times. While living and serving in Paris, Gilles Marini met the famous photographer Fred Goudon, who introduced him to the world of modeling. After fulfilling his military duties, Marini went to the United States to learn English and work as a model. Gilles found himself in the international spotlight after appearing in what some have called the second greatest shower scene in film history, in 2008's "Sex and the City: The Movie." Other film credits include "One and the Other" (L'Une et L'Autre) and "The Boys & Girls Guide to Getting Down." Television audiences have seen him in prime time series such as "Nip/Tuck," "Ugly Betty," "Dirty Sexy Money," "Criminal Minds," and most recently in a January episode of "Castle." He has also appeared the daytime dramas "The Bold and the Beautiful," and "Passions."

Debi was paired with Maksim in season 9 of ABC's "Dancing With The Stars" competition series. Debi's husband, Gabriele Corcos, was born in Florence, Italy, and raised in olive country, Fiesole. Learning everything he knows about Tuscan food from his mother and grandmother, he started baking at age six, when he baked his first cake, which he delivered to his parents bedroom - for a fee! He hasn't stopped cooking since, and his insatiable fascination with food, love for organic ingredients, and determination to feed his wife and children the healthiest and most natural way he knows, the Tuscan way, has brought them together in the kitchen, as well as life. From starting with cooking videos on their "Under The Tuscan Gun" website, they have now garnered a weekly show on the new Cooking Channel, called "Extra Virgin," where viewers are invited into the Los Angeles home they share with their two young daughters. She’s a modern girl from Queens, and he’s a food purist from the hills of Tuscany.

After graduating from Pepperdine University, he began pursuing his real estate license and earned a mentorship with one of the top-producing agents in the nation.

Desperately Seeking Sherwin Sleeves - Jan 26,2011 | Who is Sherwin Sleeves? This was a question that I spent hours on the internet seeking to find the answer to after I had heard this compelling voice on Sirius/XM radio telling a story so captivating that it commanded my attention sufficiently to cause me to pull my car into a parking so as to hang onto every single word. The information was not that available at the time, (recently moreso), and through a series of queries and links, I found a couple of downloadable mp3s of equally wonderous prose, voice, and music. But who is this man? I found a site with a brief, mysterious bit of information on this man by one Sean Hurley, who said: "... I am Sherwin Sleeves ombudsman, gopher, handyman, internet person, musical assistant, and all around amanuensis. Sherwin lives just up the road from me in the next town over and I visit him once or twice a week to pick up songs or stories or whatever he has to give me. I don’t know a lot about him. He is 79 years old (I think). He moved here a few years ago, arrived by train. I believe he spent much of time working for a traveling theater. He is not married and apparently has no other family. A frequent question: Does he really do all that walking? Yes! He does do a lot of walking. Even with the cane and a slightly bad leg, he walks more than anyone I know and he doesn’t seem to bother with any difference between night or day. He’ll set off at midnight for a 10 mile journey to nowhere. From what I’ve learned, he doesn’t seem to have the least idea where he’s heading to when he goes out – he just puts on his hat and walks out the door and is suddenly gone." We will start with a story told by Sherwin, and then he, and Sean will be LIVE! | 1/25/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

RICK AND "MA" FAIRLESS - Jan 14,2011 | MA'S ROADHOUSE Rick Fairless segued from a successful paint company to realizing a dream in opening an Easy Rider custom bike shop in the Dallas area in 1996, imprinted with his own whimsical style, incorporating goofy statues, funny pictures, and great motorcycle memorabilia into the 1930's building. Two years later, he opened Stroker's Ice House Bar & Grill next door to the motorcycle shop, furthering his dream of owning a place where one could hang out all day with their buddies, have a beer, and show off their bikes. When Easyriders dropped the franchise plan in 2002, all stores were required to take a new name or close. It was a no-brainer for Rick to rename his bike shop, "Strokers Dallas," known as the "best biker hangout in Texas," and he added "Strokers Ink Tattoo and Piercing Parlor" to complete the Stroker's trio. The three businesses pull in thousands of customers weekly. This past fall, TruTV put on a popular reality based television series, "Ma's Roadhouse," which features Rick's own "Ma," Sharon Fairless, who: "smokes like a chimney, drinks like a fish, and cusses like a sailor." The quick-witted 71 year old says any and everything that crosses her mind, unfiltered or censored. Always in the eye of the storm when trouble arises at Stroker's, "Ma" is forever ready with a mischievous smile to offer unsolicited advice, and remind everyone of their shortcomings. Still, she is respected and loved by all who meet her, mainly because of their feelings about their own grandmothers. Even with her sharp tongue & sarcasm, her love for her family is in the forefront. | 1/13/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

GIL GERARD - Dec 24,2010 | Buck Rogers Returns Gil Gerard is perhaps best known for his role as Captain William "Buck" Rogers in the television series, "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century," a role he played for two years. Originally from Little Rock, Arkansas, Gil migrated to New York after working as an industrial chemist for a large chemical company headed by Governor Winthrop Rockefeller. He was told he would be made the firm's vice president, should he decide to get his master's degree. He quit, rather than tell everyone that he did not, in fact, have a college degree. Once in New York, he studied drama by day and drove a cab by night, where, after picking up a fare who had a lively interest in the problems or unknown and unemployed actors, told Gerard to report to the set of "Love Story," which was filming in the city. He was hired as an extra, and then singled out for a bit role that ended up on the cutting room floor. But he now had his first professional credit. The next few years found Gil acting in over 400 television commercials, which included being a spokesman for Ford Motor Company, then came a leading role in the daytime series, "The Doctors," followed by roles in movies including, "Hooch," "Airport 77," and others, and many television roles, including his "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century."

KELLYLEE EVANS - Dec 17,2010 | Canadian singer Kellylee Evans continues to evolve her distinctive sound with her newest release, "Nina." The Juno and Gemini Award nominee received accolades for her first two albums, "Fight or Flight," and "The Good Girl," fusing jazz with her own unique style of "soul-pop." In her new album, "Nina," Kellylee pays tribute to one of the greatest vocalists and pianists, Nina Simone. French label, "Plus Loin Music," approached the singer after discovering her via her 2nd place win at the Thelonious Monk Jazz Vocals Competition. After several years of discussion, they invited her to France in November of 2009, where she spent two days in the studio. She recalls, "The said I could do whatever I wanted, as long as it was standards." Since Nina Simone was always one of her mother's and husband's favorites, and having a great affinity for her as well, it was a no-brainer choosing her for a tribute. Kellylee's love and respect for the original recordings of the music shines through, but even in taking on some of Simone's most iconic repertoire, the twelve trackes in "Nina" showcase Kelly's own versatility, creativity, and innate musicality. She reunited with guitarist Marvin Sewell (Jason Moran, Cassandra Wilson), who appeared on her first album, "Fight or Flight," and is joined by bassist François Moutin (Moutin Reunion Quartet, Rudresh Mahanthappa), and drummer André Ceccarelli (Dee Dee Bridgewater, Biréli Lagrène). | 12/16/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

One year turned to seven, and Farmerie's culinary wanderings turned serious when he settled in the UK in 1996, earning a "Grand Diplome" at the Le Cordon Bleu, then rounded out his education and technique at acclaimed restaurants: "Coast," "Chez Nico," and "Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons." Most influential to his own style was his experience working with Peter Gordon at the "Sugar Club" in 1996, and in 2001, assisting Gordon and Anna Hansen in the opening of the critically-acclaimed "The Providores and Tapa Room." Moving back to the states in 2003, he opened "PUBLIC," (NYC) where his culinary magpie method takes cues from broad source material, looking to places visited for inspiration. In the fall of 2008, he extended his culinary reach, when "Double Crown" and "Madam Geneva" were launched, with Farmerie in place as executive chef. Michelin Star-winning Farmerie has been seen on Food Network's "Iron Chef America," (where he was victorious over Iron Chef Cat Cora), and "The Next Iron Chef;" Cooking Channel, "Martha Stewart Living," "The Today Show," and others. | 11/14/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

CUNG LE - Nov 12,2010 | USH!: UNLIMITED STRENGTH AND HONOR Cung Le, former MMA World Middleweight Champ, defeated Scott Smith via TKO (Strikes) at 1:46 in the second round of a rematch for redemption this past June 26th, having formerly been crushed by "The Hands of Steel" on December 19, 2009 in California. The former MMA Strikeforce World Middleweight Champ had vacated his title in September of 2009, due to film commitments. His vindication under his belt, and with undoubtedly much more to come in his cage fighting career, Cung has stepped back in front of the camera, with several films in the works, including "The Grandmasters," filming in China. Currently, he is about to begin filming "Dragon Eyes," in Louisiana, written by producer Joel Silver (Sherlock Holmes, The Matrix Revolutions).

Jerome Elston Scott - Nov 10,2010 | BRIGHT FUTURE If confidence breeds success, then filmmaker and actor Jerome Elston Scott is well on his way to a great career. Appearing on critically acclaimed television shows as disparate as"Freaks and Geeks" and "Buffy The Vampire Slayer," Scott quietly watched and studied then television directors Judd Apatow and Joss Whedon and learned about how to create dynamic and interesting characters. Those first hand experiences served him well when Scott went behind the camera to create the acclaimed “Anderson’s Cross,” due for release on DVD this month. The coming-of-age story of three high school friends, including the gay title character played by Scott himself, was a film festival favorite, and reflected the kind of maturity and sensitivity that marks Scott as a young talent to watch. Growing up in New Jersey and Florida, Scott comes from a loving, supportive family, who always challenged him succeed at the highest level. When he told them he wanted to get into acting, they asked if he wanted to be an actor, or an actor in show business. Understanding that a life of creating and performing in film would be more than a lark, Scott has carried that single-minded focus into his work as a writer and director. As a young African-American male, he was discouraged at the limited number of roles he was being offered as an actor – so he wrote the loosely autobiographical “Anderson’s Cross,” surrounding himself with veteran performers such as Michael Warren (“Hill Street Blues”) and Joanna Cassidy (“Six Feet Under”) and an experienced crew to guide him on his self-produced first feature. Jerome is now preparing to helm his second film, "Prep School," which will commence filming in Spring of 2011. | 11/9/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

DB SWEENEY - Nov 03,2010 | Two Tickets To Paradise **RESCHEDULED FROM LAST MONTH Long Island native D.B. Sweeney attended both Tulane and New York University. Upon his graduation he was immediately cast in the Broadway revival of "The Caine Mutiny Court Martial." He went on to guest-star stints on such TV series as "The Edge of Night" and "Spencer: For Hire" before entering movies, where he scored with the critics for his portrayal of Jackie Willow, an idealistic, gung-ho Vietnam enlistee in Francis Ford Coppola's "Gardens of Stone".

In addition to his film roles, Sweeney has continued working on television. He played Dish Boggett in the miniseries "Lonesome Dove," going on to appear in "Once and Again," "Life As We Know It," "Jericho," "Crash," "24," and currently in "Universal Dead."

In this exclusive interview, she will talk about her return to daytime on 'All My Children.' She's already been taping scenes for what promises to be a "juicy storyline," and we can't wait! Though Kimberlin played a mother (to Kelly Monaco's character) in the daytime drama, "Port Charles," and Dr. Paige Miller in "One Life To Live," it is the evil character, 'Sheila Carter,' a seemingly unredeemable psychopath that everyone loved to hate, on both "The Young And The Restless," and "The Bold And The Beautiful" that fans remember. Her comeback to the Y & R was widely speculated with a recent storyline, but never materialized.

FOOD NETWORK STARS SPECIAL - Aug 23,2010 | Washing dishes at a small restaurant at the age of 13, Chris Santos was surrounded by tough, confident chefs who inspired him to pursue cooking as a career. He enrolled in Johnson and Wales University in Providence, RI, and, upon graduating, traveled around Europe and the United States to better understand different cultural cuisines. Upon his arrival in New York, following a stint in Boston, Santos began cooking at the Lafayette street institution Time Café. He was appointed the role of executive chef at the young age of 23, at 'Suba,' which is where he began his mostly “self-taught” education that has led him to his approach and style today. He was both Chef and partner at 'Wyanoka' before opening 'The Stanton Social' in New York’s Lower East Side in 2005. Chris has been a judge on FN's "Chopped" for the past three seasons.

"RS" was born in the Bronx, but grew up in Orange County, California, lived in Texas, then back to California, where he graduated with a degree in Communications from Loyola Marymount University. Steve became a radio sports broadcaster following his graduation in LA, becoming acquainted with a lot of people in the entertainment industry, which served him well when he started doing his Reality Steve blog. Though he never divulges sources, he admits that it's great to have "friends," and "people who know people," in his uncannily accurate predictions of reality shows scandals, and even outcomes. "The Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" franchises are his favorites, and he is committed to recapping each and every episode, often putting his thoughts, opinions, and feedback in his blog into the wee hours of the morning. How real does he think the show is? "How realistic is it to believe two people can meet and fall in love in a matter of six weeks?" he says, though admitting to the possibility of it happening a small percentage of the time. He is committed to honesty, integrity, and fair play. Cohosting with me will be Cara Gargino, who does "Cara's Celebrity Catch Up" on the 'Lisa Wexler Show,' heard on the Cox network out of Connecticut.

Leaving behind her gritty East Village apartment for an opulent palace where she walked on rugs laced with gold, Jillian traded her band of artist friends for a coterie of backstabbing beauties competing for the prince's attention. This true story is more than just a sexy tale set in an exotic land. "Some Girls is also the story of a rebellious teen finding herself. ***Three books will be given to live listeners who phone in.

While many of the students entered the Academy with the goal of becoming a professional chef or of opening a restaurant, Winn simply wanted to learn and enhance her skills as a personal chef. She feels honored to have learned under a culinary genius such as Chef Novelli, although she will be the first to admit to their love/hate relationship. http://www.suzannewinn.com For Leonard Goodloe, life is all about good food and good wine, having been born into a family of chefs. He knew at an early age what fresh, quality food meant to his family. Prior to attending the first American course through Michelin Star Chef, Jean-Christophe Novelli at Novelli Academy, he attended to the Apicius School of Culinary Arts where he studied Italian cuisine. He also worked as a private chef in New York and for a sound design company before relocating to Venice Beach, Calif. to enroll in the Novelli Academy. Although he was born and raised in Texas, Goodloe considers New York home with Los Angeles holding a strong second place in his heart.

Wilkins,' who is the right hand man of 'Miller,' played by Matt Damon.

It also had to be all-natural, fresh, versatile and, of course, delicious.” Dorene will talk about her journey and her appearance on a recent "Shark Tank" on ABC, where she did, indeed, get the money she sought from the sharks. | 2/7/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

JOSH WOLF - Jan 13,2010 | CHELSEA LATELY FAVORITE RETURNS Josh Wolf started doing comedy in Seattle 12 years ago. After moving to Los Angeles, his unique, honest and high energy style of storytelling made him an instant favorite at The Improv, The Laugh Factory, and The world famous Comedy Store. He also caught the eye of network TV. After doing his first one man show at the HBO Workspace, Josh landed a two-year deal at 20th Century Fox and ABC for his own television show. Although his show never made the air, Josh learned so much from watching people develop and write scripts that he wrote one himself, titled, "Fairly Normal," which he sold to NBC. Having been bit by the writing bug, Josh wrote on sitcoms for the next four years for shows like "Yes, Dear," Will Smith's "All of Us," and "Cuts," starring Shannon Elizabeth. Instead of another season of writing, Josh decided he was tired of making other people funny and he jumped back into stand-up. He immediately got cast in "Last Comic Standing." Since then he has had acting roles on "All of Us," a recurring role on "My Name is Earl," and is a regular on the popular E! "Chelsea Lately" show.

To take a stand and right the wrong, Dave immortalized the saga in a YouTube / iTunes music video titled "United Breaks Guitars" this past summer. He promised it was the first song in a trilogy, and released the 2nd video in October, an even more complex undertaking, with nearly 100 extras, multiple props, including broken and unbroken guitars, a limousine and a “genuine imitation space capsule.” Dave will visit with us tonight to tell us about the whole saga, updates to the story, and how it has changed his life by putting him in the limelight. You can see his two videos at the bottom of my profile page: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/olivia http://davecarrollmusic.com/ | 11/30/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

EDDIE BENITEZ - Oct 29,2009 | DIVINE INSPIRATION Eddie Benitez has been making news since the day he was born. According to a local legend in San Juan, PR, a strange cosmic event took place on November 11, 1962. Many observed the noonday sun dance across the sky as if in some kind of celestial celebration. At that very moment, Eddie Benitez was born. Perhaps not coincidence, as a legend had been born, with a fire dance in the sky, hinting at the electrifying world music to come forth from his humble beginning. By the age of thirteen, Eddie had been playing for years, had studied classical guitar with Andres Segovia while living in Europe with his family. He then continued to teach himself, forming his own group, "Nebula," when he was just 12, and winning local battles of the bands in Brooklyn, where his family had since put down roots. At 14, Eddie had record companies battling for his band to sign with them, eventually choosing Fania Records. Now a part of the Fania All-Stars, he was thurst onto the stage at Madison Square Guarden in 1976, performing with legends like Tito Puente, Charlie & Eddie Palmieri, and Mongo Santamaria. He then did something no one else had: He bridged Latin Jazz with the NYC Punk Rock scene, and was the first Latin recording artist to perform at the famous Punk Rock club, CBGB's, hanging with the likes of Debbie Harry, and The Ramones. Eddie was diagnosed with cancer at the young age of 23, and after 3 years of treatments, was told he had only three months to live. What happened then remains unexplained: Eddie received a dramatic spiritual vision, during which a complete healing occurred. His cancer was spontaneously healed, baffling his doctors. This changed his life forever...to be continued. | 10/28/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

I have had many requests to have her back on the show (she was on OWT on 7/11/08), and finally am able to bring her back to catch us up on her activities since she last appeared on "The Young And The Restless" in 2006.

MELORA HARDIN - Jul 21,2009 | THE OFFICE IS OPEN Melora Hardin had carved out an impressive career in movies and television before becoming Jan on NBC’s hit, “The Office.” The daughter of prolific character actor, Jerry Hardin, who has appeared in over 100 films and television shows, and Diane Hardin, acting coach to such young stars as Leonardo DiCaprio, Jessica Biel, Hilary Swank, River Phoenix, and others, Melora needed no encouragement to go into show business. She was acting, singing, and writing songs before the age of 5, and made her first TV appearance at age 8, combining television work with her grueling training with the esteemed Joffrey Ballet of New York In 1991 she played the dream role of a vintage-era nightclub singer in “The Rocketeer,” with Billy Campbell, contributing several songs to the film’s soundtrack. On television she made steady appearances on shows like “Quantum Leap” and “Caroline in the City," plus several juicy, memorable character moments like getting Ross to talk dirty on “Friends.” In 1997, Clint Eastwood cast her in the pivotal role of Christy Sullivan, opposite Gene Hackman, in "Absolute Power." Following her role as the wife of obsessive-compulsive investigator, "Monk," played by Tony Shaloub, the sudden success of the famed British series, "The Office," plucked her away to reprise the pilot role she played as Jan Levinson, no-nonsense boss and sex object, which has resulted in Hardin's roles in "Thank You For Smoking," "27 Dresses," "17 Again," and "Hannah Montana: The Movie." Melora recently made her directorial debut in the highly acclaimed film, "You," which she also produced and starred in, co-starring her husband, Gildart Jackson, along with friends and family members. | 7/20/09 | Free | View In iTunes |
