Tabatha's Salon Take Over
"Tabatha's Salon Takeover" returns for a second season featuring the forthright and smartly styled Tabatha Coffey as she transforms the lives and businesses of salon owners in the Los Angeles, Chicago and Miami areas.

With the economy contributing to the dire situations of fledgling small business owners nationwide, Tabatha hits the metropolitan cities of Los Angeles, Chicago and Miami to work with ten different beauty salons literally about to go under. For one week, she confiscates the keys to the establishments and takes over as boss, bringing her no-nonsense approach to these salon owners and stylists in dire need of her skilled business direction.

Fans first met Tabatha as an acerbic contestant on the first season of Bravo's "Shear Genius," and since that time she has increasingly earned respect for her unapologetic, brutally honest approach. Tabatha speaks from years of experience as a stylist and salon owner. Since her start as a salon assistant at the age of 14 in her homeland of Surfer's Paradise, Australia, she instantly fell in love with the field. At 15, she started a four-year apprenticeship program in Australia, and her love for hairdressing grew. Next she moved to London for eight years to continue her training, and has since been working in the beauty field in the U.S. for 19 years. She has a large clientele nationwide and owns the Industrie Hair Gurus salon in Ridgewood, New Jersey.

Entering the salon doors donned in her signature all-black attire and perfectly coifed short blond hair, the awed reactions of the salon owners and stylists upon seeing her are a testament to the respect she has earned in the field. Love her or hate her, Tabatha's expertise is indisputable. The stakes are high for these salon owners, who literally can lose everything and quickly realize that in order to save their livelihoods, they need to step up to Tabatha's strict business and styling standards. She will stand for nothing less than passion and commitment from the stylists she coaches. Her critical eye probes the salons' customer service, cleanliness, professionalism, and overall styling techniques. This season, she will again make her recommendations for which stylists should have a higher profile in the salon, and which ones might need to be fired. The end results are often dramatic and inspire all those who have come in contact with Tabatha to strive for only their best.

Top Chef Masters

In the format of Top Chef, 24 world-renowned chefs will compete against each other. During each episode, the chefs will face off and the winning chef will be given cash for their charities. Four chefs will compete to name one winner during the first six episodes. The six winning chefs will meet up to compete in the final four weeks with one person being eliminated each episode until there is only one winning chef left. The winner will be named Top Chef Master and recieve $100,000 for their charity.

The chefs will compete in two challenges during each episode. They will compete in a version of the Top Chef Quickfire Challenge to test their basic skills. Each Quickfire Challenge will be judged by a blind taste test and fine dining review style five-star system.

During the second challenge, the chefs participate in a more involved challenge that tests their versatility and invention as they work with unusual foods or cater for demanding clients. The judges along with a range of tasters will evaluate the chefs. The food has to appeal to critics and dinners--wheter they be patrons at a five star restaurant or hungry kids.

NYC Prep

Get to know a group of privileged teenagers who are members of Manhattan's elite high school scene. These studens do everything in groups whether they are traveling to sophisicated vacation spots or hanging out at an exculisive party. Watch their lives intersect as they network, shop, party, study, date and work on college applications. They are all beautiful and somehow connected.

These teens may seem to live the good life full of privilege and access. It seems like nothing or no one could get in their way, but they are often faced with tough expectations that can be difficult to live up to. Watch them on the benifit circuit as they interact with their families, entourage and people of the moment.

America's Next Top Model
The hit reality series "America's Next Top Model" features Tyra Banks and gives real people an opportunity to prove that they can make it in the high-stress, high-stakes world of supermodeling. The series follows a group of young women of various backgrounds, shapes and sizes, who live together and vie for a modeling contract.
Inside The Actor's Studio
For more than fifteen years, James Lipton has sat down with more than 250 of the world's most accomplished artists — ranging from actors and directors to musicians and comedians — for penetrating, fascinating interviews. Lipton's scrupulous research and boundless curiosity has prompted his guests to share the deepest secrets of their craft. The series premiered in 1994 with Paul Newman, the then president of the Actors Studio.
Kathy Griffin - My Life On The D-List

The show follows the comedienne as she steps up her game in an effort to increase her star status and land that coveted A-list position. After all, she is a two-time Emmy winner and a bikini model now. Team Griffin will also have their work cut out for them as Kathy puts them to work schmoozing and bribing, all for the cause. First, Kathy learns that any respectable A-Lister must be on Facebook. So naturally Kathy charges 88-year-old Maggie to manage and keep her page updated. Maggie only hopes that as payback some of her favorite A-Listers (like Betty White) will show up one day and bring wine.

Throughout the season, Kathy seeks advice from some of her A-List celebrity friends on how they obtained their status: "See how I fare after tips and lessons from everyone from Paris Hilton to rapper T.I.," says Kathy of her celebrity adventures. This season Kathy also (unsuccessfully) rallies for a Grammy win for Best Comedy Album, canvasses door to door and on the California state capital for gay marriage rights, and obtains a star on the (Palm Springs) Walk of Fame. Perhaps getting this A-List thing isn't as easy as Kathy hoped.

Miami Social

This new docu-series takes place in the country's hottest city and shows you the lively social scene of South Beach. The show revolves around a group of hot, young professionals as they navigate Miami's hot spots. These young people are in the corporate office during the day and out partying at night.

Miami is filled with international young, gorgeous, wealthy people looking to live the good life. All types of people come to Miami to have fun from South Americans, East Coaster to native Floridians. Miami Social follows some of the most interesting young professionals in South Beach as they participate in the city's night life and in the board room of magazine offices.

The Fashion Show

Fifteen professional designers compete for a chance to have their designs sold in the retail market and win $125,000. Isaac Mizrahi, internationally acclaimed designer, hosts and judges the show along with four-time Grammy Award-winning performer and actress Kelly Rowland. Senior Vice President of IMG Fashion Fern Mallis will also assist with judging.

Each week the designers will be tested and have to face off in two challenges. Harper Magazine's Special Projects Director Laura Brown will judge them in the Harper's Bazzar Mini Challenge. They will also have to compete in an elimination challenge each week. America decides which contestant will win the competition and get the final prizes.

The Real Housewives Of New Jersey
This series follows five affluent Jersey Girls as they live their lavish drama filled lives. The show is filled with big hair and big drama. This newest instalment of the Real Housewives franchise for the first time deals with ladies that are more than just friends--some of them are family. There are two sisters married to two brothers and one sister-in-law. These family ties will only add to the drama. Family is a priority, but their shopping, decorating, dating and fighting are always over the top.
