Candy Kirby is writer, host, producer and chief waste management engineer for It’s CandyTV, an online show and blog that takes an oh-so-serious approach to celebrity gossip, weird-but-true news, pop culture and other deeply profound issues.
A former television writer and current venti iced latte addict, an overly caffeinated Candy works around the clock to keep audience members apprised of life-changing news, such as Britney’s daily Frappuccino runs and the status of Tyra’s weave. So if viewers should notice a dangling preposition, or spinach in Candy’s teeth or, heaven forbid, wonder why she hasn’t yet announced the baby bump du jour, please do not send a nasty e-mail until Candy makes her next latte run. Also be sure to label the subject heading “Nasty E-mail,” so she knows not to open it.
Prior to launching ItsCandyTV.com, Candy was a professional job hopper in Corporate America, having worked at several top public relations agencies in New York City, as well as in brand management for the Fortune 50 Company, Boeing, in Seal Beach, Calif. She then took the next logical step in her marketing career to become a staff writer for the CBS daytime drama, “The Bold and the Beautiful,” where she penned many scripts featuring prolonged heated stares and countless “Who’s the Daddy?” story lines. However, nothing on television could rival the juicy real-life drama in Hollywood, so Candy decided to publish her own Web site and video blog following celebrity craziness and other news that her cats think is blog-worthy.
Candy has a Master of Science degree from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism, just outside of Chicago. Born and raised in another major city, Mechanicsburg, Pa., Candy now resides in Los Angeles. Yes, Candy is her real name. And, no, she has never been a stripper, prostitute or Scottish Terrier. Can’t believe everything you see in the movies, people. Except that all telephone numbers begin with the digits 555. That’s true.
Candy loves to hear from viewers. Feel free to e-mail her at candy@itscandytv.com, check out her MySpace page or Facebook profile or call the CandyTV hotline at 555-4321.
Christopher Coyne is the sometime cameraman (paid in pitchers of margaritas) and frequent moral support team for It’s CandyTV.
A rare Angeleno who was actually born and raised in Southern California, and an artist, Chris enjoys the finer things in life, such as bacon and Tasty Donuts coffee.
Chris is also a “newly wed gay” and the proud father of two dogs, which he readily admits “makes him a cliché.”
Cliché or not, Chris can also pull off a sweet newsboy cap.
