‘I Survived … Beyond And Back’: Allergic To Bees, Stung 90 Times

GuestBlogger — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 10:44:00 +0000

“I Survived … Beyond And Back” (Sun., 9 p.m. ET on Biography) expands on the network’s popular “I Survived” series by adding the element of the near-death experience. In this series, the survivors all recall moments when they feel they died, or nearly died. This week’s survivor is Christi-Ann, who has a severe allergy to bees.

It’s hard to fathom the level of terror she must have been in when she fell on a beehive knowing how sensitive she is to their stings.

“One bee sting will kill me,” she said. “90 bee stings and then some will kill anybody.”

And apparently, the incident did just that, or as close to it as someone can get and come back. Christi-Ann recalled hovering over her own body on a gurney, watching as the paramedics worked on her. It was a spiritual experience that moved both Christi-Ann, and the show’s fans.

“I Survived … Beyond And Back” airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on Biography.

GuestBlogger — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 10:43:59 +0000

Coco Austin has posed in front of many waterfalls in her time, but on “Ice Loves Coco” (Sun., 10:30 p.m. ET on E!) Sunday night she revealed that they were all Photoshopped.

On an anniversary trip to Hawaii with husband Ice-T she wanted to visit one for real this time. “It’s my life’s mission to touch a waterfall,” she said.

As she paddled her way out to the waterfall Ice stood on the bank — “One of us has to hold the camera,” he said — and filmed her fulfilling her life’s mission.

The romance continues on “Ice Loves Coco,” Sundays at 10:30 p.m. ET on E!.

GuestBlogger — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 10:43:52 +0000

“The King can do as he likes,” King Joffrey declared on Sunday’s episode of Game of Thrones. The sovereign teen exercised that right both in public and behind closed doors in a sadistic way that made that message painfully clear to his subjects and his uncle Tyrion.

Dancing’s Melissa Gilbert: It’s Hard Not to Find the Judges’ Scores Disheartening

GuestBlogger — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 10:43:51 +0000

When Melissa Gilbert and Maksim Chmerkovskiy were declared safe on Dancing with the Stars last week, the Little House on the Prairie alum let out a scream and then got bleeped. “I cussed at Maks,” Gilbert tells TVGuide.com. “I got mad at Maks because he had whispered in my ear, ‘Get ready to [do the Dance] Duel.’ I think I said, ‘Goddammit! You scared me!’ That’s when they bleeped me.” Bleep or no bleep, Gilbert is thrilled to not only still be in the competition after suffering a mild concussion and whiplash two weeks ago, but also to have avoided the bottom two Dance Duel despite having the second lowest-score. “That’s all thanks to our fans,” Gilbert says. See what else she has to say about her stagnant scores, the “mixed message” from the judges and why she cries so much.
