| 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.

charities. Four chefs will compete to name one winner during

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

| 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.
