The new series is set to arrive in January.

Trading Spaces alum Ty Pennington is set to star in Ty Breaker, a new home improvement reality show, for HGTV.

The eight-episode series will follow Pennington as he helps desperate families decide whether to overhaul their current property or renovate a new one to better meet their needs. Joining Pennington will be fellow HGTV designers Alison Victoria (Windy City Rehab), Grace Mitchell (One of a Kind) and Sabrina Soto (The High Low Project). It’s slated to premiere in early 2021.

In each episode, Victoria, Mitchell or Soto will entice the family to choose an alternative home that can be renovated to fulfill their wish list, while Ty does all he can to persuade the family to stay. In the end, will it be Ty or his HGTV co-star who holds sway? No matter which option the homeowner selects, Ty and his expert co-host will create the perfect dream home for the family.

Ty Pennington is getting his own HGTV series, “Ty Breaker,” in which the former TLC “Trading Spaces” standout and ABC “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” host will help “desperate” families decide whether to rehab their current property and stay in it, or to renovate a new home to “better meet their needs,” according to the show’s logline.

Though it might sound crazy, “Ty Breaker” is actually Pennington’s first HGTV series. He’s only appeared on the popular cable channel as a guest star over four episodes of the recently rebooted “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” which was hosted by “Modern Family” star Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

(If the “Ty Breaker” concept sounds familiar, by the way, it’s because home-renovation series are understandably running out of approaches. Also, it works.)

In each episode of “Ty Breaker,” Alison Victoria (“Windy City Rehab”), Grace Mitchell (“One of a Kind”) or Sabrina Soto (“The...

Ty Pennington is going from “Extreme Makeover” to a more considered one.

The carpenter, who rose to prominence last decade on the TLC program “Trading Spaces” and ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” will star in the HGTV series “Ty Breaker,” which is slated to debut in early 2021. The eight-episode series will follow Pennington as helps families in need decide whether to overhaul their current property or renovate a new one.

He will have some help. Alison Victoria, the interior designer known for her turns in “Windy City Rehab” and “Kitchen Crashers” will join with designer Grace Mitchell, from “One of a Kind,” and Sabrina Soto, the designer known for appearing in “The High/Low Project.” The trio will try to prod the family to choose something new, while Pennington will try to persuade them to stay in their current domicile.

“I am so happy to be back in my...

A New York equity executive was mauled by a tiger shark last week while scuba diving off the coast of Costa Rica with friends, officials have announced.

Rohina Bhandari, a 49-year-old director at a New York City private equity firm, died on Thursday when a tiger shark attacked the group on Cocos Island National Park, hundreds of miles off the coast, Costa Rica’s Ministry of Environment and Energy announced in a statement on Friday.

She suffered “strong lacerations” to both her legs, officials added. The statement only identified Bhandari using her last name.

“Rohina was kind, gentle and full of grace.

There hasn’t been an awful lot of good press surrounding the release of Rupert Sanders’ Ghost in the Shell – not only for treading over treasured ground in remaking such a popular anime endeavour, but also accused of Hollywood whitewashing, given the casting of Scarlett Johansson in the leading role. But when ignoring such aspects and enjoying this film for what it is, and viewing it on its own merits, there’s plenty to admire about this visually spectacular piece of cinema.

Set in the near future, Johansson plays Major; a victim of a life-altering car accident, offered a second chance in life when cyber-enhanced, taking her brain, and her soul, and transplanting it into a robotic shell. One of a kind, and with unnatural powers human beings do not possess, she is hired by the Hank Corporation, and consequently tasked with stopping the world’s most dangerous criminals,...
