New Adventures With SheKnows.com

I've been hinting at new adventures a lot lately.  Normally, I would be with my Toyota team gearing up for another season of Toyota Live.  This year, I am staying put in Los Angeles to cover all things entertainment.  A new season brings new changes and I alluded to some of the changes last week.

Well, I can officially announce that I am joining the SheKnows.com team as a trending entertainment writer.  I will be posting daily news stories about the hottest scoop in entertainment.  I will let you know when my first story posts, but you can find SheKnows entertainment here or on Twitter or Facebook.  I will, of course, cross post all of the articles on my social media sites to make it as easy as possible for everyone to find me.  So, you will see a lot more entertainment news coming your way.

I have a few more tricks up my sleeve, so make sure to watch this space for more announcements. Thank you all for your support over the last year, it's been a fun ride so far!

Don't forget, I will be on Driving with Gass tonight at 7:35PM PT/9:35PM ET on KWSS. org or 106.7FM in Phoenix talking about the weekend's hottest entertainment news.  

Top 3 London Games Moments

Happy Weekend, everyone!  I will go back to my regularly scheduled blogging and entertainment news on Monday.  It's been a crazy two weeks of the London Games and it has been a blast covering them for you.  Today, we talked about our favorite moments of the Olympics.  My top moment involved gymnastics, but it wasn't Gabby Douglas or the Team Gold. You will have to check out our broadcast to see what it was:

Guest:  XiXi Yang of PopStop TV

Okay, this might be a bit of KB media overload the next two weeks, but we are going to have a lot of fun.   I will be co-hosting a Spreecast show Monday through the run of the London Games with Stuart Brazell.  We are going to bring in some special guests and discuss what we are all thinking about the Olympics from the showdowns in swimming and gymnastics to watching the Games on tape delay.  You can even interact with us from the comments section or we might even bring you on camera with us.  I will update the schedule here, but this is what is happening on Monday, July 29th:

A Hot, Sexy Weekend!

Yep, visions of my hot, sexy weekend....caulking my shower and taking badass photos of my kitty. (With her quirky pigmented eye that she has had since she was a kitten.)


Who had a sexier weekend than I did? Give me the dish in the comments below!

Don't forget that you have two opportunities to catch up on entertainment news with me tonight.
1. 6:30PM PT/9:30PM ET:  My LIVE Spreecast chat will be happening right here.  It will be 30 minutes long where I hit the hot topics of the day and then I will answer your questions.  If this is a success, we will do this more often.


2.  7:35PM PT/10:35PM ET:  After my Spreecast event, head over to KWSS.org or 106.7 FM if you are in the Phoenix area for Driving with Gass.  Kevin Gassman and Cindy Love host a fun show where we debate the entertainment news of the week.  


If you missed my first appearance on The Radio Dish, have no fear.....it's archived!  I will be on the show twice a month.  So, hello, Kansas City!  I come in around the 19:30 mark on the show. 

Media Updates: TomKat

Well, life moves quickly, doesn't it?  On Saturday, I discussed the TomKat divorce on Cocktails and Conversation and before you know it, the couple had settled their divorce.  While I think this is much better for their daughter and their personal lives, I have to say it is a bit of damage control on Tom Cruise's end.  No one has ever trumped him in the PR department......until Katie Holmes came along.  Her dad helped orchestrate an elaborate exit that was flawless and wise.  I wish them both the best and I hope their daughter emerges unscathed.

Listen to the Cocktails and Conversation "Hot Topics" show here.  It was a pretty juicy show!  I will also have Tom and Katie divorce updates tonight on Driving with Gass at 7:35PM PT/10:35PM ET on KWSS.org.  Just click on "Listen Live" on the home page.  If you are on Twitter, you can comment on the show live as well, just tweet me here.

I also want to thank StarCam for posting my interview from the red carpet of the 3rd Annual Thirst Project Gala.  It was a great evening and an incredible charity started by my friend, Seth Maxwell.  Clean drinking water is a human right, so learn more about their good works here.




Tomorrow is Hot Topic Tuesday where I will be talking about being "out" in Hollywood.  

Radio Burtt on Driving with Gass: May 7th

Every Monday night, I appear on Driving with Gass with Kevin Gassman and Cindy Love at 7:35PM PT/10:35PM ET on 106.7FM (Arizona) or online at KWSS.  My segment, Red Carpet Confessions, talks about the latest in entertainment news for the week.  Here is what we talked about on Monday, May 7th:


1.  Fifty Shades of Grey:  This is the hottest (XXX) book of the summer and it will be a hot trilogy from Universal and Focus Features soon enough. I'll be discussing the book on my June 2nd appearance on Cocktails and Conversation, so let's read the book together.  Watch the SNL spoof of what to get your mom for Mother's Day:



2.  The Avengers:  It is only the biggest movie ever after this weekend.  Kevin and Cindy were supposed to see it this weekend, but I was the only one who followed through on the homework assignment.  I will be interviewing Chris Hemsworth on Saturday, so I will have more Thor dish next week.  In the meantime, take a look back at the Disney D23 conference where they gave Disney enthusiasts like me a sneak peek at The Avengers and then head over to The Hollywood Reporter and read this fascinating article with Jeremy Renner.  He's kind of a reluctant A-List star, but his work onscreen is impeccable.

Chris Hemsworth

3.  Dark Shadows:  This is everyone's homework assignment for next week's show.  I am going to see it.  Let's see if Kevin and Cindy follow through.  I am a big Tim Burton fan, so enjoy my adventures at the Burton exhibit at LACMA last summer.  

Don't forget to mark Monday, May 14th on your calendar for the next Radio Burtt night.

Deep Fried Everything and the Bumble Bee

Well, kids, I am rounding day 19 at the State Fair of Texas.  This show is always a marathon, not a sprint to the finish.  I've been dressed like a bumble bee for days now and it was only fitting that an audience member, Tyler, came dressed as a bumble bee to our show.  Yellow and black will never look the same to me.  I know I've dressed the same way in 2009 and 2010, but I think I'm ready for a new look.  How about blue next year?

I happily have indulged in delicious fried food this year like a little Chicken Express fried chicken, fried okra, hush puppies, and fried corn nuggets.  Have you ever tried a fried corn nugget?  Holy cow!  Who knew you could fry creamed corn in a little nugget of deliciousness?  I promise I have been working out a lot this time around since I have a few red carpet events once I hit the West Coast and the East Coast again in the next few weeks.

Finally, a high five to the chef who created a Deep Fried Grilled Cheese with a side of tomato soup and potato sticks from your elementary school brown bag lunch topped off with Sweet Tea and a pickle.  Sometimes the simplicity of food is the best way to eat. *UPDATE*:  I am getting a lot of inquiries here on where to find Deep Fried Grilled Cheese at the fair.  The stand is just across from the main entrance of the Old Mill Restaurant.  Enjoy! And let me know what you think about the amazing Deep Fried Grilled Cheese.

I will be back to all of my red carpet shenanigans next week, but I hope you are able to join me tonight (Monday, October 17th) for my appearance on the Driving with Gass show.  Kevin and I debate the latest entertainment news....the good, the bad, and the ugly.  I hope you join us by listening here at KWSS.org at 7:35PM PT/10:35PM ET.  You can also join in the conversation on my Twitter account with the hashtag:  #RadioBurtt.
