Media Mondays

I shot another few episodes of ClevverTV's It's a Wrap. Episodes up soon! 

Holy cow!  Monday slid right past me. My Prius signaled me with the red triangle of death and I spent most of my day commuting back and forth by foot, bus and subway to get my car serviced at my favorite dealer.  The good news is that my car was fixed within a matter of hours and it didn't cost me a thing. Hooray!

Here are all of my media appearances from last week:

AfterBuzz TV SYTYCD: If you missed last week's episode, here is our discussion about the Memphis auditions. I am so excited we move on to Vegas this week!

It's a Gluten Free brownie!!!

Hello from the Big Apple!  I arrived this afternoon to lots of rain and of course, my umbrella is back in LA where I don't need it.

We had so much fun with Joel Bryant and pitching every product sponsor.

Green river in Chicago!

I hope you all had a fun St. Patrick's Day weekend. My holiday was spent in Chicago where they take the holiday very seriously. The crowds were lined up at the bars as early as 8 a.m. in order to drink their green beer. The weather was freezing though, so I hope it was worth it. I can't imagine needing a drink that badly, but then again, I can't drink green beer anyway.

Here are some of my media appearances from last week...pick and choose your adventures!

I spent a lot of time writing last week, so it was nice to go for a run outside and see this.

I feel like the weeks are whipping by in 2013, so I was grateful for a day and a half off this weekend.  This week starts an even bigger whirlwind as we trudge towards the last 20 days of awards season 2013...Nominees Luncheon, a commercial shoot, movie premiere, a trip out of town, and a desperate Oscars dress search.

Here are my media appearances from last week:

 Totally excited by my new iPad Mini to carry me through the rest of awards season.

Last week felt busy and not so busy all at once.  Does that make sense? It was rainy in LA and a lot of my work involved my laptop, writing, broadcasting, and sitting on the couch.  I wore pj bottoms and then would have to do hair, makeup, and wear a cute shirt for my Spreecasts. I was a hot mess of contradictions.

Here's what happened in the media last week.

Full spread of lobster, caviar, and truffle mac and cheese at 9am.

Governors Ball Preview: If you missed my coverage of the Governors Ball Preview--the official party of the Oscars, head here.

Tom Barnard Podcast:  Holy cow!  This was a crazy show.  Tom had comedian Steve White on the show and I am not sure I got a word in edgewise.  That's okay, White ruled the show....he's funny.  Listen at the 20:00 mark.

Metro News Hotline with Dave Weekley:  I am proud to announced that I am joining the WCHS family in West Virginia on Mondays at 1:30pm PT/4:30pm ET for a weekly entertainment segment.

Media Mondays...on a Tuesday

Hello, Chris Hardwick....young kids know him from his YouTube Nerdist channel.  Older kids know him from MTV's Singled Out with Jenny McCarthy.

Well, we can't always be on time, can we?  I am finally getting to this post on a Tuesday after hopping on a few planes to cover events in Las Vegas, LA, and Detroit.  I was all over the place, but I had a whole lot of fun.  Take a look at some of the events I covered last week:

IAWTV Awards:  I was grateful to be nominated with my fantastic co-host, AJ Gibson, for our AfterBuzz TV show of So You Think You Can Dance.  We had so much fun in Vegas.  It was also nice to be back on the red....uh, blue carpet interviewing the nominees for IAWTV.  Thanks to the Academy for giving me that opportunity. For my fashionistas, my dress info is here.



Oscar Nominations:  I then ran home on Wednesday to cover the Oscar Nominations for Starpulse.  All of my coverage is here.  Watch the Leonard Maltin interview.  He gives some great insight on the Oscars race.

With the cast of Squaresville.  I clearly need help with my square.

Tom Barnard Podcast:  We talk Elvis, Jake the Snake, and the Oscars race. Listen here.

Cocktails and Conversation:  I am back for a special episode to talk about....you guessed it..Oscar Nominations!  Robin also won the Oscar Nominations Dress Challenge this year.  She's going to get a $25 gift certificate to the store of her choice....once she tells me the store of her choice! Listen here.

Acting up on the red carpet with Misty Kingma.

SheKnows:  All of my Oscar nominations articles are here.  However, I wrote about a few other things last week.  The more interesting ones:
Ben Affleck gets the last laugh--He also did on Golden Globes night!
Charlie Sheen gets the LA mayor in trouble--Seriously, don't hang out with Charlie.
Demi Moore is keeping her cougar status--Because she can.

With the cast of The Digits at IAWTV Awards

The Radio Dish:  We talk about the Biebs and paparazzi in this edition of the Hollywood Bling. Listen in at the 20:00 mark.

 I speak a lot.......just ask my significant other.

 What?!!  Someone wanted me on their panel?  Wow.  Thanks, New Media Expo!

With the AfterBuzz TV crew....me, AJ, Phil Svitek, and Cathy Kelley.

Media Mondays chronicles all of the places I appeared, wrote, and discussed the latest in entertainment news.  It was kind of a slow week, but don't worry, this coming week is going to be a crazy one.  Make sure to follow my Twitter or Facebook page to see all of the up-to-the-minute entertainment news especially if you are a fan of Barbra Streisand, Seth Rogen, the Golden Globes, Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann, or Judd Apatow.  Seriously, that's the kind of week it is going to be.  I hope you are all enjoying the holiday season.  My cat sure likes my tree...and the water that goes in the stand.  

I love blinky cat photos.

Tom Barnard Podcast:  Oh, this was a fun week and I couldn't think straight.  I called Sandra Bullock's Miss Congeniality flick....Miss Confidentiality.  That's a totally different film...that doesn't exist. Listen here.

SheKnows: My favorite stories I wrote this week:

Brittany Murphy's final film is completed--Sigh, I still can't believe she's gone.  The photo in this article is gorgeous too.

John Travolta's Christmas video--I can't get enough of this. You must watch if you missed last week's viral video hit.

It's hard to believe we are in the final month of the year, but I am looking forward to a Christmas nap.  Life has been so busy here in LA!  We had lots of controversy surrounding the DWTS finale, but, on the flip side, my co-host and I had the opportunity to interview Fierce Five Olympic Gold Medalist, Jordyn Wieber.  You have to take the good with the not-so-good. Here's where I was last week:


Tom Barnard Podcast:  Every Tuesday, I dish the dirt with Tom and the crew.  It's one of my favorite stops each week.  Check out last week's show, I come in right at the top.

Interviewing Hyundai Vice President of Marketing, Steve Shannon.  Photo by Kathryn Rapier

Hyundai Santa Fe Press Reveal at the LA Auto Show: While I may have retired from this, I still cover press events in the automotive world.  If you want to see the crazy and wild moment when I interviewed Hyundai President and CEO John Krafcik, click here.  The crowds wanted to speak with him, but I had the opportunity to interview him first.

AfterBuzz TV's Dancing With the Stars Finale:  Oh boy, this final week was fraught with such controversy over the judging, the voting, and the eventual winners.  My co-host, Suri, talked openly about how she felt and we have both talked about our frustrations.  See how it all went down and listen to our fun interview with Fierce Five member, Jordyn Wieber....such a sweet girl!  I'm going to miss this show, but I will be back in full force when Season 16 returns in March.

Talking Toyota on Inside the LA Auto Show

Inside the LA Auto Show:  The show aired on CBS 2 and KCAL 9 here in Los Angeles and not only did I talk about the 2013 line-up for Toyota, my nerdy dancing made the credits.  Yep, total dork here.

SheKnows:  A couple of my favorite articles from last week:
Michael Jackson's Thriller turns 30--No one was bigger during the '80s.
Scarlett Johansson does the weather on The Today Show--I love it when a star doesn't take themselves seriously.
Anna Nicole Smith's daughter in GUESS Kids Spring campaign--How cute is she?  I hope this story ends differently than Anna's though.

Cocktails and Conversation:  It was my last appearance of the year with these sassy ladies. Listen in as we talk a lot about Angus T. Jones and his religious controversy with Two and a Half Men.

Spreecast:  The DWTS finale was so controversial, that Suri and I hit the internet one more time to talk to the fans.  Thank you all for joining in with your thoughts and comments.  If you missed it, you can watch the archive below.




Don't forget it's #RadioBurtt night at 6:35pm PT/9:35pm PT tonight on Driving with Gass.  Join in the conversation at KWSS.org live!

And yep, that's me in a Kia of Cerritos commercial.

After all of my hard work this week, I promise I did have fun.....The Book of Mormon at the Pantages was just the kind of dirty laughs I needed!

What a week it has been!  I've been all over the place working and talking about the Emmys plus wrapping up a long season of SYTYCD.  In order to keep everything straight for me and for you, here is where you can find all of my entertainment scoop from the week. You can pick and choose your adventures along the way.  You guys are awesome and I appreciate all of the support.  It's been a crazy ride to get here, but I feel like it is all coming together.  If you comment somewhere, let me know......I always respond back!

Spreecast:  Emmy Predictions in the Comedy and Drama Categories with me, AJ Gibson, and Stuart Brazell:

AfterBuzz TV: So You Think You Can Dance Finale with Emmy-Nominated choreographer, Spencer Liff.  This was my favorite broadcast all week because Spencer has done four Broadway shows.....I'm such a musical theatre nerd.



AfterBuzz TV:  The New Normal with me, AJ Gibson, Lauren Leonelli, and Anna Koppel.  We break down two episodes on a series I am not completely sold on yet.  There are an awful lot of stereotypes being thrown around here.  Do you agree? Watch here.

Spreecast: Behind the Red Carpet Live with Cheeks, creator of the online series, Husbands.  We did a lot of comparison between his show and The New Normal.  His show was created first and originally dubbed "the new normal" by This American Life back in October 2011.  Interesting, no?  Watch here.

SheKnows. com:  I began my first week on the job!  Here are a few of the articles I wrote:  Amanda Bynes is a mess, Demi Moore is a mess, and oh yeah, Chad Johnson is too.

Tom Barnard Podcast:  Tom is a legendary broadcaster in the Minnesota area and I was fortunate enough to make an appearance on his show this week talking all about Emmys Week.  You can listen here and I will hopefully be on another show soon.

I will be covering the Emmys official gifting suite this weekend plus I'm off to the NBC, HBO, and The Awards Lounge parties, so follow me on Instagram:  @KristynBurtt, Twitter, or Facebook for all of the updates.
