Do You Watch Soap Operas?

BuzzSugar — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 07:30:53 PDT

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, Tyra, Rachael Ray Top Daytime Emmy Awards

BuzzSugar — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 06:30:30 PDT

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 for playing Katherine Chancellor on The Young and the Restless. Cooper, who made her first appearance on the show 35 years ago, had been nominated eight previous times without a win.

Other winners were The Tyra Banks Show and Regis Philbin, who took home a lifetime achievement award. To see the full list of winners - as well as the winners from the Daytime Emmy Entertainment Awards, which were presented earlier this month and recognize different categories in daytime entertainment - just

Daytime TV Has Gone Disney

GiggleSugar — Thu, 26 Apr 2007 17:19:30 PDT

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!)

A Daytime Dance Party?!

GiggleSugar — Wed, 21 Mar 2007 01:00:00 PDT

"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.

Katie Couric vs. Ricki Lake: Who Should Be the Next Queen of Daytime?

Colleen Barrett — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 01:00:50 PDT

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 daytime void.

Nobody can replace Oprah, but networks hope to launch the next big talk show. Katie Couric's contract with CBS expires in June, and the word is she's met with NBC and ABC to discuss talk shows. After spending five years as the anchor of CBS Evening News, she seems like a serious choice, but Katie always shined best in the morning as cohost of Today.

Meanwhile, Ricki Lake remains a contender. She's been trying to get a talk show since 2005, the year after her first long-running one ended. After discussing it on Oprah and The View late last year, she's been getting serious interest from the three major networks.

Personally, I would like to see the two, among others, duke it out in a competitive reality show called America's Next Daytime Queen, but no network will take my tweets. So until then the choices are Katie and Ricki - who's yours?

Announcing the Winners of the 2012 People's Choice Awards!

BuzzSugar — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 07:52:17 PST

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 Diaries' Nina Dobrev won for favorite TV drama actress, and though Robert Pattinson may have lost favorite movie actor, he accepted the award for Water for Elephants for favorite drama.

See who else won in the full list of the winners after the jump.

Fighting Words from Anderson Cooper: Are Stay-at-Home Moms Lazy?

Natasha Dantzig — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 11:20:40 PST

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 that women who stay at home with their kids use it as "almost an excuse to be lazy." Anderson follows up this evolved comment with an insightful, "You're saying that stay-at-home moms are lazy?!"

The whole point of the show was to discuss a controversial new study claiming that moms who work outside the home are happier than those who stay at home with their lil ones. Surprise, surprise, the guests weren't able to come to any sort of consensus. Understandably, people aren't pleased with the show's topic and especially not with its producers' choice of title, and they are blogging up a storm about it - which is probably exactly the point. Well played, Mr. Cooper. Welcome to daytime TV.

Is it me, or does this whole argument feel a bit dated? Aren't moms over-judging each other like this?

Check Out the 2012 People's Choice Nominations Before the Show Airs Tonight!

Becky Kirsch — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 08:02:20 PST

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 PCAs, at least for the TV categories - The Vampire Diaries and its stars are all over this list. On the subject of the small screen, the awards have brought in another distinction for television: network shows and cable series are now separated (and fan favorite Game of Thrones pops up for its first season).

You'll be able to watch the results when the show airs tonight, and remember: we are LIVE from the red carpet and backstage throughout the show! The live show starts at 5 p.m. PST/ 8 p.m. EST, and you can watch us here.

To get the full list of nominations, just keep reading.
