I just love this picture of Jeanne Cooper, the 79-year-old actress who just won her first Daytime Emmy Award for playing the grand dame of The Young and the Restless, Katherine Chancellor. The show has long been a staple in my family, so her win puts a smile on my face. It also got me thinking: Are you a soap opera fan? If so, let me know in the comments which series you never miss!

Ellen DeGeneres, Rachael Ray, and Jeanne Cooper were among the big winners at the Daytime Emmy Awards on Friday night. DeGeneres took home the award for Outstanding Talk Show Host for the fourth year in a row — but her show, which had won the Outstanding Talk Show prize in each of the last four years, was upset by Rachael Ray in that category. Meanwhile, Cooper won her first Emmy at age 79 Read more
I thought soap operas were in the business of airing backstabbing drama and torrid love affairs, not reviving classic Disney cartoon plots. A show must really be fishing for a new development when the writers have to drag The Little Mermaid into the storyline. (But have no fear, all the bad acting is still here!) Read more
"Don't Cha" wish you could've been a part of this studio audience? Ellen hosted a dance party, revved things up with the Pussycat Dolls, and discovered a suburban house mom with a whole lotta body roll and spank, I mean spunk, in her! Good times, good times. Read more
There's a job opening for a noncertified therapist to the masses! Oprah may have mentored Tyra Banks, but Tyra's finished with talk shows. Gayle King, editor at large for O magazine, best friend to Oprah, and current talk show host on OWN seems like an apparent heir, but is not. At least not according to ABC, who's losing its daytime queen, and NBC, who's circling above to swoop in and fill the Read more
The people have spoken! The People's Choice Awards have all been handed out after fans voted for their favorites in categories for movies, TV, and music. It was no surprise that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 was a big winner since it was the last chance for the wizarding series, and vampires from both the big and small screens also got their chance to come onstage. The Vampire Read more
Oh, Anderson. Generally a bastion of solid journalism and insightful commentary, Anderson Cooper seems to have taken a cue from the talk show circuit with one of his recent shows, pitting stay-at-home moms against their work-outside-the-home counterparts. The show's clearly-for-ratings title — "Are Stay-at-Home Moms Lazy?" — is drawn from the outburst of one of the guest moms, who declares Read more
The People's Choice Awards are tonight, so now's your chance to get a good look at who's up for the trophies. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is dominating the movie categories, especially since there was no Twilight film eligible for this year's awards (though Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson still earned nods because they appeared in other movies). Vampires are still big at the Read more
Ricki Lake has found a new type of TV success on Dancing With the Stars, but she'll soon return to a familiar format. The 43-year-old star talk show vet is returning to daytime TV with the Ricki Lake Show in September. Ricki is among an accomplished group of women who have found talk-show success. From Joan Rivers to Oprah Winfrey, let's tale a look at 10 types of women who can wield a mic and Read more
