DAYMOND JOHN: PROUD OF HIS SELF-DISCIPLINE

Uh-oh. Judging by the top hat, it looks like Shark Tank’s Daymond John has gone Hollywood! We suspect his wardrobe expansion is due to the fact that he’s succcessfully maintaining a 40 pound weight loss. He gave up alcohol, works out every day, and started averaging 25000 steps a day while working. And he wants you to NOTICE, so his clothing is considerably tighter – you cannot MISS those biceps. Another triumph for this entrepreneur…

Goop Gwyneth Paltrow Shark Tank

CAN GWYNETH PALTROW SWIM WITH THE SHARKS?

We’ve always enjoyed watching Shark Tank when it pops up somewhere, but the egotistical guys on the show CAN become rather overbearing. Barbara Corcoran and Lori Greiner are the only female regulars and they make the show much more watchable. SO nice to learn that Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow will be appearing as a guest Shark for the 14th season. In fact, she will be on the September 23 show, which will be LIVE. It’s a smart move for producers to pull in younger and female viewers who can identify with her. Young women need to know how Gwyneth went from actress to mogul and they can certainly use the inspiration. She’s come a long way – from dating Brad Pitt to becoming a businesswoman with 200 million dollars in the bank. Not bad…

Kevin O'Leary Kids Shark Tank

KEVIN O’LEARY IS NO PUSHOVER WHEN IT COMES TO HIS KIDS

“Mr Wonderful” AKA Kevin O’Leary (Shark Tank) doesn’t even crack a smile while bike riding in Miami Beach. The entrepreneurial multimillionaire’s two kids Savannah and Trevor are in their 20’s now and they have been on their own since they finished their educations. Their father promised to support them “from birth to the last day of college.” Kevin’s own mother had the same philosophy – she hated “entitlement” and none of her wealth went to her children after they graduated from college. O’Leary emphasized this when he took his family on vacation. As the kids got older THEY flew in coach and their parents flew first class. When they asked why they couldn’t fly first class also, Kevin told them “you can’t afford it.”

KYM JOHNSON AND ROBERT HERJAVEC: IT’S NOT A FAKE DWTS ROMANCE!

Finally, a romance born on Dancing with the Stars seems to be the real thing! For many seasons, the show drummed up fake romances for the contestants who danced with Derek Hough or Maxsim Chmerkovskiy for publicity reasons .(Imagine Kirstie Alley with Maksim!) Last year sparks DID fly between pro dancer Kym Johnson, 39. and her partner, Shark Tank billionaire Robert Herjavec, 52.The new season has started and they are STILL together, in case you were wondering. Kym is not dancing on the show this season – wonder why… (Above the couple was seen at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills)

Couples Dancing With the Stars Kym Johnson Robert Herjavec Shark Tank

DANCER KYM JOHNSON GOT WHAT SHE WANTED

There have been a lot of faked romances to boost ratings on “Dancing With the Stars” but it appears that contestant Robert Herjavec, 51, really IS enamored with his dance partner Kym Johnson, 38. (He’s Croatian-Canadian, she’s Australian) Around the same time rehearsals started for the show, Robert and his wife (who resembles Kym) separated. Robert, who has a net worth of 100 million dollars, has been raving about Kym and spending a lot of time with her – sometimes in his private jet. Derek Hough remarked “He’s exactly the kind of partner Kym has always looked for.”

Britney Spears Las Vegas Planet Hollywood Shark Tank

BRITNEY SPEARS SAYS NO TO SHARK TANK

December will be a BIG month for Britney Spears. On December 3 her album Britney Jean will be released. On December 27, her show “Britney: Piece of Me” opens at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas and she’s been deep in preparation and rehearsal for that, The E! channel is filming a documentary of her putting the show together and that will air on December 22. Designers working on her stage set wanted to install an enormous shark tank behind her onstage at one point in the extravaganza, but Britney absolutely nixed the idea. Turns out she’s TERRIFIED of sharks.

Barbara Corcoran Clay Newbill Misogynist Shark Tank Women

SHARK TANK DOESN’T WELCOME WOMEN

#sharktank #janetcharlton

a href=”http://www.janetcharlton.com/images/2012/07/shark-tank2305cut.jpg”>

We knew there was a reason why we didn’t like Shark Tank. That’s the ABC business-reality series in which a panel of five venture capitalists are pitched potentially profitable new ideas by inventors. There’s only one woman on that panel of five, and that’s real estate mogul Barbara Corcoran. Barbara feels women are not adequately represented on the panel and having an even number of both sexes would make for better TV. Producers, specifically one named Clay Newbill, believe that women would “argue with one another and fight” and it might become snark tank. We agree with Barbara that THAT is an absurd, insulting, and antiquated notion. Amazingly, Newbill assumes women have bigger egos than men when, in fact, they are proven to be more cooperative and less competitive. Misogynistic producers like Newbill need to be retrained, and Barbara might be the woman to do it.
