For those of you that are new to this challenge, <b>YOU</b> get to chose the dress that I wear for a one of Hollywood's biggest events. </div>

Think of a DVF wrap dress or a Jackie O. sheath. I am short (5' 3"), so I want to show off my legs versus lots of cleavage (which I don't have anyway) to give the illusion of height. I love shoes, so I want to pick something hot and sassy from my shoe wardrobe. One note: Even though I want a dress to show off my legs, please no so-short-I-can-see-your-hoo-ha dresses. </span><a href="http://redcarpetcloset.blogspot.com/2013/01/my-2013-oscar-nominations-coverage.html" style="background-color: white; color: #29aae1; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-decoration: none;">The Oscar Nominations</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> are a very conservative event, so I'd like to keep it that way.</span><br />

<b style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Does It Work?:</b><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I was really happy with this product because it gets rid of all of the product in my hair, giving it a clean, tingling feeling. The stimulation of the scalp keeps my hair thick and healthy without the need for parabens or sulfates. It's even safe for color-treated hair. </span></span><br />

I really, really wanted to like this product. It's a heavy-duty styling iron for curling your hair. It's made from a quality hair-tool company and it feels solid — not flimsy like some of the drugstore curling irons.<br />
<br />
They offer up a great YouTube tutorial, so I felt like a good handle on what I was doing. The 1.75" barrel should have been perfect for my thick hair. Unfortunately, it was not.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/F8EqMsQ7ZeQ" width="560"></iframe>
<br />
The button that helps to grab the hair and and twirl it up to create those perfect waves, often had difficulty releasing the curl. As a result, the product would smoke and you could smell my burning hair. <br />
<br />
While I am not a hair expert, I certainly know my way around a curling iron. I attempted this three times with the same results. Since I never finished a full head of hair because it was scorching my locks, I don't even have a good photo to share with you. So, this is product that gets a thumbs down from me.<br />
<br />
Perhaps you will have better luck with than I did. If you would like to check it out, <a href="http://bit.ly/T3Twirl360" target="_blank">it's available at Sephora for $230</a> or by using this link: http://bit.ly/T3Twirl360.<br />
<br />
To take a closer look at the product, here are a few features and benefits listed by the company:<br />
<br />
<b>Features and benefits:</b><br />
- 1.25-inch barrel: perfect for creating on-trend curls and loose waves<br />
- Single “Go“ button: barrel activates with a press of a button and a simple turn of the wrist<br />
- Digital SinglePassTM technology: constantly measures and adjusts the temperature across the entire barrel for accurate, consistent heating while styling<br />
- Mid-length clamp: ideal for curling any length of hair—even if it’s layered<br />
- Cool tip: makes it easy to safely and quickly maneuver the curling iron<br />
- Nine-foot 360° swivel cord: professional-length with swivel prevents cord tangling for hassle-free styling<br />
- Two-year warranty: comprehensive coverage and support options<br />
<br />

It's that time of year again! I need help finding a dress for Oscar Nominations morning on January 15, 2014. It's early again this year and we are going to have to do this over the Christmas break.

Think of a DVF wrap dress or a Jackie O. sheath. I am short (5' 3"), so I want to show off my legs versus lots of cleavage (which I don't have anyway) to give the illusion of height. I love shoes, so I want to pick something hot and sassy from my shoe wardrobe. One note: Even though I want a dress to show off my legs, please no so-short-I-can-see-your-hoo-ha dresses. </span><a href="http://redcarpetcloset.blogspot.com/2013/01/my-2013-oscar-nominations-coverage.html" style="background-color: white; color: #29aae1; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-decoration: none;">The Oscar Nominations</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> are a very conservative event, so I'd like to keep it that way.</span><br />

I posted this quote today because I felt like it was resonating with me more and more. </div>

It's about the need to give back in an industry that has <a href="http://redcarpetcloset.blogspot.com/2013/02/oscars-2013-red-carpet-interviews.html" target="_blank">given me so much</a>. I live in a town where people are constantly asking me, "You're a reporter, but what do you <i><b>really</b></i> want to be?" I always tell them, "I'm doing it, I'm living it." </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hollywood is a town filled with people who are striving to achieve their goals on a daily basis, waiting for their big break and dealing with rejection from every direction. It is possible to work successfully in this town, but there's only one way to do it — hard work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In addition to the hard work that is required, a sense of humility, kindness, respect and gratefulness is also needed along the journey. These qualities get lost so often and it makes me wince to watch some people stumble along the way. I want to see people succeed and I think we are all better when we have that mentor in our life to guide us along the way to cheer our success and brush us off when we fall. It's an art that is lost in the entertainment industry, so I think it's time to get back to helping the next generation on their journey.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I find that I get more out of mentoring than the people I am helping. It feels really good to give back. So I decided to do a mentoring group for 2015. I want to gauge interest from aspiring broadcast journalists, TV hosts and reporters <b><i>of all ages</i></b> in a once-a-month Google Hangout to chat about the industry. I will also give you a monthly assignment…video or writing…so we can share our work, offer constructive comments and cheer each other on. I may also bring in a few industry guests to chat with us as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While I am still formulating some of the ideas, let me know what you think. If it's a large group, I may divide it up. If you are under 18 and want to participate, you are welcome to join us, I will just need written permission from a parent or guardian. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Interested and want to join me? Give me a shout out in the comments below so I can get the ball rolling in the new year. </div>

I am so glad we had Jenna Johnson back in studio with us this season. In Season 18, we had<a href="http://redcarpetcloset.blogspot.com/2014/04/dwts-season-18-artem-chigvintsev-jenna.html" target="_blank"> her on with Artem Chigvintsev</a>. It's wonderful to see how she's really blossomed in the last few seasons. She's assisting choreographer <a href="http://redcarpetcloset.blogspot.com/2014/08/sytycd-season-11-mandy-moore.html" target="_blank">Mandy Moore</a> with the opening numbers this season and the troupe is really working hard on bumpers and appearing in the celeb/pro numbers.<br />
<br />
Yes, we did talk about her BFF Meryl Davis off the air. Their friendship runs deep and Jenna mentioned that she already knows Meryl will be in her wedding when that day comes. Awww….you have to love how <b><i>DWTS </i></b>brings people together.<br />
<br />
We talked a lot about the judging as well. It was pretty unfair to be harsh in a week when the celebs were not working with their regular partners. If it was a normal week, fair game…Switch Up week, no thanks.<br />
<br />
Next week, <a href="http://redcarpetcloset.blogspot.com/2013/10/afterbuzz-tv-dwts-sharna-burgess.html" target="_blank">Sharna Burgess</a> joins us again in studio. We missed her during Season 18. See you on Tuesday!<br />

<br />
We're back! It was so much fun to be back in studio with Anna Trebunskaya and Suri Serano after a long summer away. Jake DuPree will be back for our Sept. 30 show, but in the meantime, <b><i>SYTYCD</i></b>'s Serge Onik is doing a great job at filling in.<br />
<br />
I wasn't too sure about this season. I didn't love the contestants, but Monday night's show proved that we are going to have fun this season with some unexpected choices. I'm excited by the possibilities…<br />
<br />
Next week: Serge is in for Jake and <a href="http://redcarpetcloset.blogspot.com/2014/05/dwts-season-18-elena-grinenko-part-2.html" target="_blank">Elena Grinenko</a> is our guest. If you heard me say new pro Keo Motsepe is on next week, that was my mistake. He will be on our Sept. 30 show. I read the email wrong and I clearly have no concept of time.<br />
<br />
We are on at Wednesday at 5 p.m. next week on <b>AfterBuzz TV</b>.<br />

Congratulations again to Maks Chmerkovskiy, Tony Dovolani, Val Chmerkovskiy, <a href="http://redcarpetcloset.blogspot.com/2014/05/dwts-season-18-elena-grinenko-part-2.html" target="_blank">Elena Grinenko </a>and Rib Hillis for an incredible opening night party of Dance With Me Sherman Oaks. It's always nice to see the <b><i>DWTS</i></b> pros succeed in areas outside of the <b>ABC</b> show because they are sharing their love of dance.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I had been to the studio before when Elena and Rib had opened the studio back in March. I attended the party with my niece after a <b><i>DWTS</i></b> taping. Elena had briefly mentioned to me that they were thinking about partnering up with DWM late last spring. It's a really smart move since the brand is so strong.</div>

<div>
The studio has been renovated (a lot done by Rib himself!) to get it ready for the official DWM launch. If you go in for a class, you will love the elegant chandeliers around the space. It creates a really lovely ambiance. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Last night's party was packed and it was a hot night in the Valley, so the dancing out on the dance floor was even hotter and sweatier. I spent most of the night trying to touch base with as many pros as possible to see if we could connect and get them on <b>AfterBuzz</b> this season. I was buzzing around the room talking to Val, Louis, Peta, Henry, Sasha and Elena. I missed Maks and Artem, but I was glad to see some familiar faces supporting their new venture.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Some of the former and current contestants who stopped by included Leah Remini with her family in tow, Lea Thompson (who stuck by Artem most of the night--I mean, who wouldn't?!), Danica McKellar with her fiancé, Zendaya with her dad and <a href="http://redcarpetcloset.blogspot.com/2013/04/afterbuzz-tv-dwts-victor-ortiz.html" target="_blank">Victor Ortiz</a>. I run into Victor at least once a month and I have to say he is one of the most gracious and kind people I have ever met. He introduced me to boxer Diego Magdaleno and he kept bragging about his friend's upcoming world championship fight. </div>

How did we get Dave Scott on the show? Chloe ran into him out and about in Hollywood. He willingly gave up his contact info and I sent him an email. Within two hours, we had our guest!<br />
<br />
I am really proud that we were able to book three choreographers in three different styles this season: <a href="http://redcarpetcloset.blogspot.com/2014/08/sytycd-season-11-mandy-moore.html" target="_blank">Contemporary</a>, <a href="http://redcarpetcloset.blogspot.com/2014/08/sytycd-season-11-spencer-liff.html" target="_blank">Broadway</a> and Hip Hop. I am praying that <b><i>SYTYCD</i></b> gets picked up for another season because I finally connected with NappyTabs. I interviewed them for my upcoming article in the December issue of<b><i> Dance Spirit</i></b>. So let's hope we get a Season 12!<br />
<br />
Next week, I will be alone…Chloe and Jake all have other commitments, so I get the boys all to myself. Join me for the finale with Serge Onik, Teddy Coffey and Emilio Dosal.<br />

Can I tell you how much we love<a href="http://<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/NBeHKYwbr0g" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>" target="_blank"> Spencer Liff?</a> I can't rave enough. He was our first big guest back on <b><i><a href="http://redcarpetcloset.blogspot.com/2014/08/sytycd-season-11-makenzie-dustman-and.html" target="_blank">SYTYCD</a></i></b> on <b><a href="http://redcarpetcloset.blogspot.com/2014/08/sytycd-season-11-mandy-moore.html" target="_blank">AfterBuzz TV</a> </b>during Season 9 and we are thrilled he comes back each season. His honest and constructive comments on the contestants was so helpful for us to listen to. We are down to the Top 4 and he explained why each contestant should be there.<br />
<br />
There is a lot of Zack love brewing at just the right moment. Don't forget to vote, vote, vote for your favorite contestant. It's so important for next week and the final results on Sept. 3.<br />
<br />
Next week, our guest is choreographer Dave Scott.<br />

We've had pretty good luck with <a href="http://redcarpetcloset.blogspot.com/2014/08/sytycd-season-11-jaimie-goodwin-nick.html" target="_blank">scheduling All-Stars </a>this season. I wish I could say that I carefully planned this out, but the timing has been impeccable. We were supposed to have <a href="http://redcarpetcloset.blogspot.com/2014/07/2014-dizzy-feet-gala-courtney-galiano.html" target="_blank">Courtney Galiano</a> on this week along with Jasmine Harper and Makenzie Dustman, but her shoot was running late. We will be working to reschedule her within the last three episodes. Can you believe the season is almost done?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We had a lot to discuss with the untimely exit of Tanisha Belnap and Rudy Abreu, the addition of Allison Holker <a href="http://instagram.com/p/rscPjbA9VV/?modal=true" target="_blank">to <b><i>DWTS</i></b></a> and everyone's thoughts on Nick Lazzarini from last week's show.

<br />
We can never predict what a guest is going to be like the first time they come into the studio. What a great pair we got with Jaimie Goodwin and Nick Lazzarini. I have really wanted more of the earlier season contestants <a href="http://redcarpetcloset.blogspot.com/p/press.html" target="_blank">on our show</a> because <b><i>SYTYCD</i></b> Season 1 is far different from <b><i>SYTYCD</i></b> Season 11. Nick received a penthouse rental as a prize, but he took the money and ran…and invested it. Very smart!<br />
<br />
I also asked Jaimie about working on <a href="http://redcarpetcloset.blogspot.com/2014/07/young-hollywood-awards-dwts-round-up.html" target="_blank">Derek Hough</a>'s Emmy Award-winning piece "Walking on Air" and we got the answer of a lifetime. Glad she has recovered. Ouch!<br />

For a fresh look at the beach...head to <a href="http://us.vilebrequin.com/" target="_blank">the Vilebrequin line</a> which has been around since 1971, but has focused mainly on menswear. Celebrities from George Clooney to Brad Pitt have been seen wearing their classic trunks. The company is now "turning [their] attention to the female form by reinventing its iconic looks for mother and daughter." The looks are a throwback to the 1970s with a modern twist from shorts to lounge-wear. Vilebrequin can be found globally at their retail shops including the newest location at the Malibu Lumber Yard in Malibu, California or online.<br />

For those needing relief from summer sandals rubbing against your hot, tired feet...check out <a href="http://www.footpetals.com/" target="_blank">the Foot Petals line</a>. They offer multiple "sole-lutions" to your footwear needs. For <i>Dancing With the Stars </i>fans, you can even check out the line by pro dancer Karina Smirnoff. It's a limited edition product line for every high-heeled need on or off the dance floor.<br />
<br />
Smirnoff said, "I'm passionate about fashion — beautiful shoes are a must and Foot Petals is my secret to making everything more comfortable while staying stylish."<br />

For a unique summer getaway…head to Beverly Hills, California for the city's centennial celebration called <a href="http://www.lovebeverlyhills.com/events/view/a-taste-of-suite-100" target="_blank">"Suite 100."</a> Five luxury hotels have created suites that celebrate a different decade that will take you back in time. The event runs through Sept. 30, 2014.<br />

The Montage Beverly Hills heads back to the 1940s in a film noir suite designed by Nina Petronzio. The Beverly Hills Hotel has the perfect room for any Marilyn Monroe fan with a 1950s theme designed by Adam Tihany. <i>Mad Men</i> aficionados will be shaking their martinis to check out the Beverly Hilton's '60s-inspired suite with some of the best food from the decade at prices guests haven't seen in decades.<br />
<br />
For those wanting a bit of Studio 54 glam, L'Ermitage's 1970s suite is the perfect room for the Halston fan designed by Ken Fulk. The Peninsula's suite caters to the modern-day fan who wants Hollywood glamour and a private cabana by the pool. This is the most expensive room of the lot, but Cynthia Forchielli and Helen Glen's designs will keep you styled in comfort during your stay.<br />

This might be my favorite show all season. It was such an honor to have the <a href="http://redcarpetcloset.blogspot.com/2014/07/videos-2014-outstanding-choreography.html" target="_blank">Emmy-nominated</a> Mandy Moore in our studios. She gave us a candid look at the contestants and what goes on in those rehearsal rooms. For my<b><i> DWTS</i></b> fans, we will try and have her on in the fall since she brings so much to the table. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A couple of fun things we learned:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
--They are not asking the choreographers' opinions on the contestants this year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
--Music clearance is challenging. Sometimes contestants find out the night before that their solo music cannot be used. Stressful!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
--Mandy choreographs <b><i>DWTS</i></b> much differently than <b><i>SYTYCD</i></b> because she isn't ballroom trained. She said she relies upon Sasha, Emma, <a href="http://redcarpetcloset.blogspot.com/2014/04/dwts-season-18-artem-chigvintsev-jenna.html" target="_blank">Jenna</a> and Val to help her out in the studio.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
--She also gives her thoughts on <a href="http://www.sheknows.com/entertainment/articles/1044538/shania-twain-ends-vegas-residency-headed-to-dwts" target="_blank">Shania Twain possibly joining the show</a>…remember, Mandy choreographed her Vegas show!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next week's guests are Nick Lazzarini, Season 1, and Jaimie Goodwin, Season 3.</div>

I was fortunate enough to interview <b><i><a href="http://redcarpetcloset.blogspot.com/2014/07/sytycd-season-11-malene-ostergaard.html" target="_blank">SYTYCD</a></i></b> judge <a href="http://redcarpetcloset.blogspot.com/2011/06/so-you-think-you-can-dance.html" target="_blank">Mary Murphy</a> on National Dance Day. I asked her about a few topics regarding Season 11 since there have been a few things on viewers' minds. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here are some highlights:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>On the #BallroomMassacre last week</b>:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"We never know who they [the fans] are going for."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>On Ricky Ubeda being so far ahead of the pack:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"He certainly was challenged in the Viennese Waltz. If he doesn't improve and he hasn't dropped down, it will go into America's hands, by the way. I think he is extremely talented. Let's see what he's going to do when he gets a Quick Step. For most of the kids, ballroom is often a challenge."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>On needing ballroom lessons to compete on the show</b>:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"A few lessons won't cut it to get them through a routine."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>On the missing "Dance for Your Life" Solos:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"By the finale you will see solos by themselves…without a doubt."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">I was asked to</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> post <b><i>SYTYCD</i></b> Season 4 contest and <b><i>Hit the Floo</i></b>r star Courtney Galiano's full interview. I was happy to comply. It's unedited footage because I think it's always fun to see what happens right before and after our interview. Sometimes the pre-interview chit chat is more insightful than the questions asked on the red carpet. (Don't forget that she's on <b>AfterBuzz TV</b> with us on Aug. 14 at 7 p.m. PT)</span><br />

I've had a really fun weekend and this photo just about sums it up. I'm uploading the audio files as quickly as I can for you. First up is Derek Hough. I asked him about the ending of his tour, Season 19 of <b><i>DWTS</i></b> and what challenges are left for him on the show. This is RAW, UNEDITED audio footage, so understand it's noisy and it was a very chaotic red carpet. (In fact, he was trying to leave and I jumped in and badgered him with questions…I HAD TO GET THIS INTERVIEW!)</div>

This was definitely another first for us on <b><i>SYTYCD</i></b> on <b>AfterBuzz TV</b>. I've really been trying to mix it up for you guys this season. I've always wanted to go behind the scenes with the show because it's so interesting to hear how the audition rounds really went, what rehearsals are like and what happens when you are voted off. I know I'm not the only one, so I hope you have an enjoyed some of the new guests we have brought in like Mindy Arnold and a contestant from this season like Malene Ostergaard.<br />
<br />
Yes, Malene was as gorgeous in person as she was on TV, but don't be fooled by her looks. She was a smart and insightful guest. I was so thrilled to get her on our show and I know this isn't the last we've seen of her…<b><i>DWTS</i></b>, perhaps?<br />
<br />
Next week is Mandy Moore and I cannot wait to get <a href="http://redcarpetcloset.blogspot.com/2013/08/afterbuzz-tv-sytycd-spencer-liff.html" target="_blank">a choreographer's perspective </a>on Season 11. We will also be recovering from the elimination of four dancers. It's going to be a tough week.<br />
