Monday, May 13TH, 8:00 PM ET/ PT Donny & Marie’s segment for “Nick News with Linda Ellerbee” called “If I Were an Only Child: The Top Ten Annoying Things My Siblings Do” will air on Nickelodeon.

“I loved this book, It’s full of some funny story’s some sad story’s it made me laugh out load and cry out load too. You can pick it up and read from any chapter, You don’t have to be a mother to read it am not and i loved it.”

“Your book was very touching and inspiring. It moved me and made me feel better about myself. The hardest job I have had was being a single Mom and felt like I was always behind the curve.”

“This book is awesome. I could not put it down. Olive Osmond has always been an inspiration! Marie shines her mother’s light through the pages and words in this book. I laughed,I cried, and was enlightened reading this book.”

“Personal and heartfelt, this is Marie’s best book yet, I laughed out loud at her stories of her mom’s eating adventures on the road and her dad’s attempt at changing his grandson’s diapers. I cried when she wrote about her mom’s failing health and the death of her son. But most of all I admired her, because this woman is so incredibly strong and determined to live her best life no matter what she encounters.”

“I couldn’t put this book down!!! I absolutely love the honesty and stories Marie’s shared throughout this book!!!! A MUST read!!!!!!”

“As both a mother and daughter myself, there were a few times while reading this book that I had tears falling down my face, forcing me to put it down for a bit in order to catch my breath. There are pages of heartache (palpable at times), joy, humor and reflection – all written exquisitely.”

“Marie’s latest book is an extremely personnel view into her private life.This book is not about Marie Osmond but about Marie the mom.She speaks candidly about her good times and her heart wrenching times. She speaks about self respect,drug abuse,sexual orientation and what it is to be a single mom to teenagers. Marie explains her mother’s wisdom and how she applied to her life.”

“In her book she is the first to admit that she has not always made the right choices in life, but that is how we all learn. Her stories are so honest and heartfelt. I respect Marie so much for sharing her life and wisdom with us. This isn’t just a book for females…or Mothers…or Daughters. This is a book that we can all read and learn from. And if taken to heart, Marie’s wisdom can make us all better and wiser people in this world.”

“The Key Is Love: My Mother’s Wisdom, A Daughter’s Gratitude was extremely well written. Once I started reading the book I couldn’t put it down. Marie is not only an amazing singer and entertainer but an amazing author also. Its a remarkable book of true love in being a mother and all of life struggles that go with being a working mother and the lessons Marie learned from her wonderful mom Olive Osmond.”

“One of the most inspiring books I have ever read. I always look to Marie as a positive role model and she always delivers. This book was so touching to see how she has responded to such devastating tragedy, yet still perseveres with that beautiful smile on her face.”

“Very emotional and harrowing at times, yet Marie opens up some amazing experiences through it all. Mrs Osmond was an incredible mother who clearly raised 9 amazing children. Marie’s wisdom and down to earth positive and charitable attitude to life comes through as she discusses the difficulties of being a single parent.  I would love to hear more from her.”

Marie is excited to announce her upcoming book tour and looks forward to signing copies of her latest book, “The Key Is Love: My Mother’s Wisdom, A Daughter’s Gratitude”.

CMNH was founded with two simple goals: 1) to help as many children as possible by raising funds for children’s hospitals and 2) to keep funds in the community in which they were raised to help local children.  The organization touches the lives of 17 million children and their families every year, more children and their families than any other children’s charity. Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals treat children with cancer, pediatric AIDS, muscular dystrophy, heart disease, leukemia, sickle cell anemia, asthma and accident trauma.

About the Great Russian Nutcracker, originally directed and choreographed by Bolshoi Theatre soloist Stanislav Vlasov in 1993, it debuted to rave reviews from the press which continues to this day. In 1993 from the Durham Herald Sun, “Impeccable technique, quicksilver footwork…expressive gestures carried to eloquent length” to 2010 NY Times Chief Dance Critic Alastair Macaulay, “Knockout…expansive…brimful with feeling.” Over 20 years the tour expanded from eight to seventy+ cities across North America with two simultaneously performing troupes of 40 Russian dancers each. The Great Russian Nutcracker is unique among Nutcracker ballets featuring Russian culture throughout. Father Christmas (Ded Moroz) and Snow Maiden (Snegurochka) escort Masha (aka Clara) and the Nutcracker Prince through the Snow Forrest in Act I and the “Dove of Peace” brings them to the “Land of Peace and Harmony” in Act II.  The company also performs Swan Lake, Romeo and Juliet, Sleeping Beauty and other story ballets. Student dancers audition in many cities on the tour to perform in ancillary roles alongside the Russian professionals. www.nutcracker.com .

ATP was founded by award-winning Juilliard alumnus, composer, conductor and theatrical producer, Akiva Talmi.  ATP produced the “Cynthia Gregory Celebration Tour” with Nancy Reagan as Honorary Chair; “From the Top” PBS TV special featuring NYCB’s Violette Verdy and Itzhak Perlman, “Alexander Godunov” national tour and more. www.akivatalmipresents.com .

It’s a Sunday afternoon and my kids are telling me that it’s root beer float time. That means I need to open the store-bought root beer and Haagen Daz Vanilla Bean ice cream and put it all together.  No hardship.  In fact, I usually have to sample all 6 to 10 root beer floats…you know…just to make sure the balance of ice cream to root beer is just right.  My mom used to make her own root beer and homemade ice cream.  You couldn’t get better stuff than that!  Can you even imagine having the time to bottle your own root beer?  Once in a while she would go overboard with adding yeast and the lids would pop off and ricochet around the basement walls.  A definite hazard of the hobby and possible injury if you happened to be nearby!

Sunday is pajama day in my house.  After church, we usually come back home and put on some form of pj’s about 4 p.m. for the rest of the day and hang out as a family.  It’s kind of an odd tradition, but what can I tell ya…it’s an Osmond thing.
I’m thinking about having pajama day on my talk show.  Come on!!  Wouldn’t that be a blast?  Every guest wears flannel pj’s!  Whoo-hoo!

I was looking at the episode guide to this week of shows and thinking about the forms family takes…and how our closest relationships are those that can uplift us, teach us, and sometimes break our hearts, too.

On Monday, Diane Burnett will be on the show.  She is the ex-wife of the creator of the infamous “Survivor” reality shows.  So, she’s kind of the mother of reality TV.  She is also the mom to two kids with Mark Burnett, who was her first love.  Even though they’ve been separated for ten years, you can still see the bruised feelings.  What I liked about her is that she is so willing to show her vulnerability.  Tell me if you agree after you watch it.

Tuesday is Alana Stewart, who I found to be so willing to share her life story, both the good experiences and the painful ones. She was married to rocker Rod Stewart, had a whole modeling career, and also was by Farrah Fawcett’s side in the last years of her life.  Farrah was like a sister to her.  It’s a compelling story she tells of loss and how she found comfort.  And, a message she got from heaven.  Really intriguing.  Also, the wisdom she gained.

Wednesday…is that cute guy, Dean Cain.  His family is his 12 year old son and when you watch the show, you’ll see a man who’s dedication to his child runs very deep. I’m telling you…a great Dad makes a very attractive man, doesn’t it?  I should know: my husband is one.

Okay, so I’m going to go make popcorn, because I’ve got to have that sweet-salty thing when I watch a movie.  I told my husband:  “In about 10 years we will get to pick the movie WE want to watch!.”  Yeah, right!  That will be the same time that I have free days to bottle homemade root beer!! Happy week, everyone.

Hallmark Channel and Marie Osmond announce production has begun on the international superstar’s one-hour talk show, “Marie,” which debuts October 1 (12 Noon ET/PT, 11C). The announcement was made by Michelle Vicary, Executive Vice President, Programming, Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movie Channel. Associated Television International will produce the new lifestyle series which will air weekday on Hallmark Channel as part of the network’s expanded Lifestyle block.

“Marie” is an inspirational journey to help people make a difference in their own lives. The segments will feature celebrity and non-celebrity guests who drop by for everything from revelatory discussion, lifestyle tips and trends, socially important issues, and breakthroughs that empower families. Marie’s potential guests include everyone from the publicly famous to everyday people with out-of-the-ordinary experiences, to the star’s famous family, her closest girlfriends, and the nation’s leading experts in diverse fields designed to revolutionize lives.
“Marie Osmond aspires to help people feel better about themselves,” said Michelle Vicary, Executive Vice President, Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movie Channel.

“An American icon, renowned entertainer, mother of eight kids and a New York Times best-selling author, Marie opens the door in this talk show to highlight her milestones and her missteps, but always through the filter of knowing that we share a common humanity that makes us all feel better about who we are,” Vicary concluded.

On “Marie,” Osmond imparts her insights on surviving all of life’s roadblocks and detours with heartfelt advice about how to survive and move on with dignity, humor and optimism. The series will use Osmond’s life experiences, her greatest successes and most crushing disappointments, including marriage and divorce, the trials of raising eight children, depression, and more, to provide insights and hope that we can all come through hard times with unstoppable enthusiasm, resilience, and courage.
