Arnold Schwarzenegger to Return as The Terminator in T5

Arnold Schwarzenegger to Return as The Terminator in T5

If you were building humanoid robot assassins, would you make them look young and virile, or old and flabby like a deflated basketball, and in the postscript of a political career and highly-publicized divorce scandal?

The latter, right?

Right. That's what I thought.

As such, Arnold Schwarzenegger will be returning to play The Terminator in Terminator 5.

Ahhhhnold

The script is being prepared by Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier, and a director is still not attached.

Fast and Furious 6 director Justin Lin had previously been in talks to direct, but ultimately chose that project over T5.

What do you think of a 65 year-old Terminator? How will it be justified in the movie? We'll just have to wait and see.

Miley Cyrus' Parents to Divorce; Tish Cyrus Cites "Irreconcilable Differences" With Billy Ray

Miley Cyrus' Parents to Divorce; Tish Cyrus Cites "Irreconcilable Differences" With Billy Ray

Miley Cyrus' parents, Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish Cyrus, are divorcing. Tish cited "irreconcilable differences" in her official paperwork, filed this week.

They've been married for 19 years, and have five children together, including Miley. There's only one minor child left, Noah Cyrus, who is 13. 

Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish Cyrus

Billy Ray filed for divorce from Tish three years ago, but eventually dropped the petition in an attempt to work things out, which it appeared they had.

This time, it was his better half who filed. She is asking for full physical and legal custody of Noah, with visitation rights granted to Billy Ray.

Tish is also seeking spousal support and attorney's fees.

How's Miley handling it? Earlier today, she tweeted at her old man: "Since your texts and email obviously aren't working would you like to talk like this?"

So, apparently not well.

Incidentally, Billy Ray strongly suggested that their previous marital strife was caused by Miles' fame. It's not clear what prompted this split or if it'll take.

Bruce Jenner on Kris Jenner: A Nasty Prude!

Bruce Jenner on Kris Jenner: A Nasty Prude!

Bruce Jenner and Kris Jenner have seen better days.

They sometimes live apart and they may be headed for a $ 200 million divorce and now we totally know why:

Kris won't put out!

Bruce Jenner and Kris Jenner Pic

That's the word from an anonymous Radar Online source, who has caused us to almost lose our lunch just imagining these two having sex and claimed of Bruce:

“It’s gotten to a point where he’s accepted this marriage is not working for him. He says they never have sex and she’s nasty to him - and he’s had enough.”

Kris has always been controlling, of course, but a "turning point" apparently came for Bruce when confronted recently by son Brody.

“Bruce’s boys - especially Brody - have been telling him how they felt abandoned by him when they were young,” a family friend alleges. “It was a turning point for Bruce and made him realize where he is in his life.”

And that place in life is apparently under Kris' thumb, not her naked body. (Sorry.)

With Kris soon anchoring her own talk show, it doesn't appear as if things will get any better between the couple either.

“I wouldn’t put it past her to beat Bruce to the punch and separate from him before the show and try to play up her personal drama on-air just to get viewers,” concludes the friend.

Bangs or no bangs, there's one thing she's not on the fence about. The Laguna Beach and The Hills star says she's happy she got out of TV.

The 27-year-old, who's now an author, said: “I hoped I didn’t (have to stay on TV). Everybody told me to stay on TV. Nobody wanted me to leave.”

She said her new book, Infamous, will give her fans a more complete picture about her life. Meanwhile, tell us what you think of this one tiny aspect:

Myla Sinanaj on Kanye Cheating Scandal: Love is Just a Quote

Myla Sinanaj has something to say about Leyla Ghobadi.

Yes, the ex-girlfriend of Kris Humphries - who recently accused Kim Kardashian of cheating on Reggie Bush many years ago - took to Twitter yesterday in response to Ghobadi's claim that she slept with Kanye West.

  • Myla Sinanaj Pic
  • Kanye West Cheating Claim
  • Kim Kardashian in Pregnant Dress

And it's safe to say Sinanaj was not exactly sympathetic toward the reality star.

Here is a rundown of her postings:

  • same shit though works the same since they were both cheating at the time ” if they cheat with you they cheat on you”
  • cant teach a old dog new tricks…….
  • Stuck in a generation where loyalty is just a tattoo, love is just a quote and lying is the new truth.

Ponder that final profound quote, readers, and respond:

Do you think Kanye West cheated with Leyla Ghobadi?

Fattest Cat in UK Goes on Diet, Aims For Ambitious Goal Weight

Fattest Cat in UK Goes on Diet, Aims For Ambitious Goal Weight

The heaviest cat in Britain was officially forced to go on a diet.

Ulric's goal is to weigh 13 pounds, an optimum amount for a feline. Which means he'll have to lose 17, or 56.6% of his body weight. Is he up to the challenge?

Every journey starts with a single step, Ulric.

Fattest Cat

After reaching 30 pounds, Ulric's owner, Jan Mitchell, entered him in PDSA Pet Fit Club where 21 animals participate in a six month diet and exercise plan.

Hopefully, healthy recipes and regular chasing of toy mice will help him get to the promised land and raise awareness for the growing epidemic of animal obesity.

Two-Faced Kitten: Alive and Well in Oregon!

Sorry, Kim Kardashian and Kate Middleton.

No matter what happens next month, you will no longer have the most talked-about births on the Internet.

A kitten with two faces was born in Amity, Oregon on Tuesday. He has been aptly named "Deucy" and arrived with just one body and a healthy set of organs.

Owner Stephanie Durkee says the vet has given the young cat a clean bill of health, although he's sadly been rejected by his mother, meaning Durkee feeds him every two hours via syringe.

Deucy is being kept in a dresser drawer with a heating pad and towels. He's a rare "Janus" cat, a breed that does not typically live as long as those with one head.

Also eerie? Deucy was born on 6/11... at 6:11 in the morning.

Court Marshal Sexually Assaults Woman, Arrests Her For Complaining About It

Court Marshal Sexually Assaults Woman, Arrests Her For Complaining About It

So, imagine you show up for an already-difficult family court hearing, get into an argument with an official and get arrested in front of your crying two-year-old.

Then imagine the arrest happened because you complained that a court marshal brought you into a side room, felt you up and asked you to lift up your shirt.

Several employees and managers of Clark County Family Court in Las Vegas are under investigation after the incident, which was all caught on video.

In it, court marshal Ron Fox inexplicably arrests mom Monica Contreras after she dared to complain to the judge that Fox had touched her inappropriately.

It started when Fox suddenly told Contreras, who was only in court for a routine divorce case, to go into a side room for an unexplained drug search.

When she came out of the room, she approached the judge who had been listening to her case, and told her that the marshal touched her inappropriately.

She says she had asked him for a female marshal to be present but he had ignored her ... as did the judge, who just played with Conteras' child.

Suddenly, the same marshal orders her arrested, and a second marshal approaches and tries to put cuffs on her. Contreras was obviously stunned:

"For what, sir? Why would I be arrested? Can you please tell me?" she pleaded.

Ron Fox then pipes up and says, "Because of false allegations made against a police officer" ... for which there is no such law. Minor details, right?

Amazingly, she was then told she could avoid jail, but only by recanting her story. Instead, she did the opposite, repeating what she claimed happened.

At this point she was arrested as her daughter cried, "Sir, don't take momma!"

Perhaps the most incredible part? The entire time, the judge, Patricia Donninger, seemed oblivious, not even speaking to the woman or the marshals.

The woman's story was later validated following an investigation and the marshal was fired. The judge, however, remains undisciplined for her behavior.

Kris and Bruce Jenner: The $200 Million Divorce?

Kris and Bruce Jenner: The $200 Million Divorce?

The tabloids aren't just after the Kardashians this week. They are after their relationships!

First, Star quotes Leyla Ghobadi as saying she totally banged Kanye West when he was with Kim Kardashian.

Now, In Touch Weekly is once again re-igniting the Kris Jenner divorce story, claiming she and Bruce are on the outs - and it'll be one EXPENSIVE breakup.

Jenner Divorce Claim

“There’s a lot of money at stake in this split,” says a family friend to the tabloid, adding that Kris ought to have concerns outside of her fortune:

“Kris has done some pretty horrible things over the years - including cheating on Bruce. He can drop bombshell after bombshell and ruin her. So Kris should be afraid. Very afraid.”

The magazine goes on to detail how Bruce has moved out and bought a place in Malibu, but this is hardly news.

Khloe Kardashian actually told Jay Leno last week that Kris and Bruce live apart. But the tabloid insider says it's not just for a breather, it's for a reason far more serious:

"It’s gotten to a point where he’s accepted this marriage is not working for him."

Yes, after spilling her scandalous guts to Star and claiming she slept with Kanye West in the past few months, the Canadian model has taken to Twitter and given Kim the world's most half-hearted apology.

Leyla Ghobadi Picture

“Sorry,” Ghobadi wrote. “Maybe I went about this the wrong way but how else am I meant to get thru?"

The 24-year old added: “I am NOT the bad guy in this situation, nothing more 2 say.”

But then, naturally, she said more.

In light of Kanye denying the affair, Ghobadi went ahead and doubled down on her story.

Via Radar Online, she now says West "was aggressive in his pursuit“ and: "I admit I didn’t have to do it â€" I got caught up in the situation. I used to idolize him.”

And if you believe the rapper over the model?

"To the haters â€"u don’t know s**t about the situation," Leyla Tweeted. "Everyone else who’s being supportive; thank you.”

Do you believe Kanye West cheated on Kim Kardashian with Leyla Ghobadi?

In a World Trailer: Arrived!

Comedy trailers are hard to pull off.

The temptation is to spoil all the jokes, but really, they should just show you how fun the movie looks.

In a World looks fun. Good job, trailer editor!

Watch the In a World trailer below:

Lake Bell, who also wrote and directed, stars as Carol, a voice coach whose father as a famous voiceover guy.

When Carol attempts to break into the world of movie trailer voiceovers herself, she butts up against decades of preconceptions about what those voiceovers should sound like.

It's an interesting, straightforward premise, with enough comedic talent on board to make it promising.

That comedic talent includes: Fred Melamed, Demetri Martin, Michaela Watkins, Ken Marino, Rob Corddry, Nick Offerman, Geena Davis, and Jeff Garlin.

This is the End Review: Rapture, Sweet Rapture

This is the End Review: Rapture, Sweet Rapture

If you have either eyeballs or earballs, you know that Apocalyptic, End of the World, Doomsday Raptureporn is all the rage in Hollywood these days.

You’ve got your World War Zs, your Oblivions, your Seeking a Friend For the End of the Worlds.

As such, you want to make your Apocalypse movie stand out. You want some kind of new take. Especially in a comedy.

This is the End Cast

This is the End does not really offer a new take. So as a rapture film, it’s kind of dull. As a “bunch of dudes hanging out” movie, though, it’s expectedly hilarious.

The movie opens with Seth Rogen, who co-wrote the film with his partner Evan Goldberg, picking up his best friend Jay Baruchel from the airport.

Jay hates Los Angeles and doesn’t like Seth’s new Hollywood friends, but Seth drags him to a party at James Franco’s house.

There, Jay continues to feel isolated and bitter, until, well, the rapture hits.

Lots of people die, leaving Seth, Jay and James holed up in the house with Craig Robinson and Jonah Hill, and later, Danny McBride.

At that point, it’s your basic survival film intercut with some comedic Real World-esque “getting along” moments.

Comedy definitely ensues.

This is the End has some big issues, though.

Most glaringly, it’s a tad odd that two Jewish stoner dudes wrote a movie about the Christian Judgment day. Religion is only vaguely addressed (in a “Who knew this would really happen?” type of line), but if you’re not a Christian who believes in the rapture, then the plot feels a little old hat.

Then, there’s the issue of character. With all the actors playing themselves, the choice to make the cast members exaggerated versions of themselves was probably a wise one.

But those exaggerations are so one note that it gets tough to watch after a while. How many times can we see Jay, the butthurt guy, get placated by Jonah, the obnoxiously compassionate guy.

Or James, the self-obsessed egomaniac confront Danny, the sociopathic slimeball.

This is the End James Franco Poster

Ultimately, it may have been more fun to just see a documentary about these guys, (save maybe Jay, who I’m sorry, has absolutely no energy or dynamism to speak of) really being themselves, hanging out in the trailer before they’re called to set.

The myriad cameos are fun, including an against-type Michael Cera and Emma Watson, but the plot is very thin.

After the initial apocalyptic incident traps the guys in the house, there’s about an hour of petty bickering with very little forward progression.

And it’s tough to keep yourself from thinking about the ending the entire movie. This can’t end in very many ways, given the very clear End of Days setup. Without spoiling the ending, exactly what you probably think will happen thirty minutes in happens.

That said, some genuine laugh lines are borne from the rather static, predictable story, and the final scene after the climax is pretty darn fun.

Ultimately, very little effort was made to make This is the End anything more than a comedic take on your standard Doomsday flick. And when the majority of the film takes place in a living room, it really leaves you wanting something revelatory to happen. But it just doesn’t.

Take away the rapture part, this is a 3.5-star comedy. Take away the comedy, this is a 2-star Apocalypse movie. Put them together, here’s what you get:

RATING: 3/5

Kate Middleton Baby Bets: Off the Charts!

Kate Middleton Baby Bets: Off the Charts!

Will Kate Middleton have a c-section or a natural birth?

Will she welcome a boy or a girl? With what color hair?

When will he/she arrive? And what will the name be?

Kate Middleton in a Hat

For royal watchers - and gamblers - worldwide, there's a lot riding on these questions, as sports books say they've seen a surge in action since December.

"The second we found out that she was with child," in December 2012, said Rupert Adams of William Hill, one of the largest bookmakers in the U.K.

After Kate was hospitalized with severe morning sickness, rumors began circulating that she was having twins - you could get 33:1 action on that.

Then there was the incident in which Kate Middleton may or may not have said, 'I'll take a teddy for my d--," during a conversation with a fan in March.

"Every single bet was that it's a girl," said Hill.

Bets have also been placed on Kate Middleton's due date (July 13 is a favorite at 10:1 odds), the baby's weight (8 pounds), and if she's "too posh to push."

"She's currently favored to have a C-section," he said.

The most vital question, though, is her baby's name.

In mid-April, said Adams, "Alexandra" was all the rage, along with Elizabeth, Diana, Mary, Carole, Phillippa, Spencer, and Oliver other good possibilities.

The process isn't new. In 1982, William Hill paid out nearly 30,000 pounds when Prince Charles and Princess Diana named their first child William.

Nor is it limited to the royals. They also take bets on Kim Kardashian's baby name. The short list: Krystal (10:1), followed by Kirsten (12:1) and Kara (14:1).

Kate is 25:1, incidentally, but this much is nearly a lock:

"It's an absolute given that Kimye's baby girl will have a name beginning with K ... The list of names is endless, but Krystal Kardashian-West has a nice ring to it."

Back to Kate Middleton, what do you think she's having?

 

What should she name the baby if it's a boy?

 

What should she name it if it's a girl?

Ballpark Sinkhole Cancels Rangers Batting Practice

Ballpark Sinkhole Cancels Rangers Batting Practice

There was a sinking feeling at Rangers Ballpark yesterday, and we're not talking about the visiting Cleveland Indians, who have lost eight of their last 10.

A busted pipe under the infield created a sinkhole behind the mound.

Sinkhole Ballpark

As a result, batting practice for both the Indians and Texas Rangers to be canceled before Tuesday's game so the grounds crew could fix the problem.

Workers had to dig more than three feet deep to try to fix the pipe - used to water the infield - but were able to finish the repairs and patch up the field in time.

Cleveland manager Terry Francona was asked if these were shenanigans by his struggling team in an attempt to sabotage the game and get a day off.

"I didn't do it," Francona chuckled. "We're not there yet."

"We're frustrated, but we're not there."

Cleveland went on to win, 5-2. Good luck sinkhole?

Brett Seacat Verdict: Guilty of Wife's Murder, Arson

Brett Seacat Verdict: Guilty of Wife's Murder, Arson

A Kansas jury took under a day to reach a verdict in the Brett Seacat case. He was found guilty of killing his wife Vashti and setting fire to their home.

Brett Seacat Photo

Seacat, 37, of Kingman, Kan., was convicted of first-degree murder, aggravated arson and two counts of aggravated endangering a child in the 2011 act.

The jury concluded he killed Vashti Seacat 16 days after she filed for divorce, and prosecutors will seek a sentence of 50 years in prison on August 5.

Jurors were tasked with determining whether Vashti committed suicide, leaving behind her two children, or if her husband brutally murdered her.

In the end, they concluded he did. Motivated by the threatened loss of their marriage, police say he shot her in the head and set the house on fire.

Taking the stand for over a full day last week, ex-police deputy Brett Seacat portrayed himself as a loving husband and father to two boys, then 2 and 4.

He said he was burdened by his wife's desire to break up, but continued to share their home after Vashti filed for divorce, and urged additional counseling.

"I would never burn our house," he said under questioning from the prosecution last week. "I would never expose my children to any situation like that."

A dozen of his peers apparently disagreed.

Debbie Rowe: Should She Become Legal Guardian of Paris Jackson?

Paris Jackson's mom Debbie Rowe is back in the news amid speculation that she may seek control of the troubled teen, though sources say this is premature.

Rowe, who was forging a close bond with her daughter before her suicide attempt (the Paris Jackson 911 call was released today), is not angling to take over.

Paris Jackson and Debbie Rowe

While she is planning to host Paris at her California horse farm this summer, she does not want to oust her grandmother, Katherine Jackson, in any way.

“It would take Katherine dying or becoming very ill for Debbie to seek legal guardianship,” said a source, despite reports of animosity with the family.

Only if the judge makes a dramatic decision to strip Katherine of custody AND Paris wanted her to step in, then Rowe would be ready to do so.

Paris could even live with Rowe indefinitely and “it still wouldn’t change the legal guardianship” situation, the source insisted, nor does it have to.

“Katherine isn't giving up the role because she feels it would let Michael down, and Debbie has too much respect for Katherine and Michael to fight her."

Would Rowe as guardian be in Paris' best interest, though? Vote in our poll:

Ghost Recon Movie: Michael Bay to Direct?

Fun fact: Michael Bay has only had two films reach above a 50% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

But when it comes to giant action flicks, there's nobody....not better...what's the word I'm looking for?

Let's go with "Explodier."

That's why Bay is working with Ubisoft and Warner Bros. to develop a movie adaptation of the Ghost Recon video game.

The director, who is currently working on Transformers 4, may or may not direct the film. That all depends on what direction the screenwriter--yet to be found--decides to go with the project.

Two other Ubisoft properties, Assassin's Creed and Splinter Cell, are also in development as feature films at the moment.

Desiree Hartsock: Outraged at Brian Jarosinski, Sympathic Toward Stephanie Larimore

Desiree Hartsock: Outraged at Brian Jarosinski, Sympathic Toward Stephanie Larimore

Desiree Hartsock received quite a surprise last night.

As predicted weeks ago by The Bachelorette spoilers, one of her suitors had a girlfriend back home. That, in and of itself, would not be entirely stunning.

The fact that Stephanie Larimore showed up to confront Brian Jarosinski, though? That's a new one even by Bachelorette contrived drama standards!

Des Hartsock Photo

As a girl who was kind of into Brian (he made it through two rose ceremonies, and had a good chance going forward), Desiree was far from pleased.

Not as far from pleased as Steph, but still. Far from it.

"I had no idea that Brian had a girlfriend back home or that he had unresolved problems with her. I was disgusted when I heard the news," she writes.

Des was "even more outraged when I learned Stephanie is a single mother. It made me mad that someone could be so deceitful and disrespect women in that way."

"Regardless of whether Brian and Stephanie were still together or not, there was no chance he was there for the right reasons - or that he was staying."

"He wasted my time and took the spot of another guy that did have the right intentions. I just wanted him out of the house and to put it all behind me."

As for the rest of the episode, the rose-giver says it couldn't have gone any better.

"I absolutely loved having two group dates this week on The Bachelorette! It was really important to have as much time as possible with each guy," she adds.

"I also wanted to see who could make the most of competition while being a great sport and who could really stand out in a crowd and be a lone ranger."

"I mean, what girl doesn't like to see hot guys engage in friendly competition?"

Looks like she's got a good feeling about the season, too: "At the end of this week I felt confident and hopeful that my future husband was within this group."

Moving on to next week?

"We're heading to Atlantic City! Watch as the men try to fight for the title of "The Bachelorette's Mr. America" with their hot bodies and unique talents."

"It is going to be quite the show!

Indeed it is, Des. Indeed.

Rachel Uchitel is single again!

Tiger Woods' #1 mistress is getting divorced after her husband, Matt Hahn, filed the paperwork earlier today. Matt's reason? "Cruel and inhumane treatment."

Seriously. He put that.

The troubled couple frequently engaged in explosive, verbal arguments; Matt alleges that Rachel Uchitel slapped him after he repeatedly called her names. 

There's more. Rachel called 911 on Matt on May 16 after a particularly nasty verbal argument, asking officials for help getting him out of the house.

She did not follow up with police or press charges after the situation was resolved; they didn't officially separate until today, over three weeks later.

Uchitel has not responded to the divorce filing.

Rachel and Matt Hahn, a former Penn State football player, were married a year-and-a-half ago. They got together after her flings with Tiger and David Boreanaz.

The Real Housewives of Orange County Recap: What Happens In Mexico...

The Real Housewives of Orange County Recap: What Happens In Mexico...

When the women of The Real Housewives of Orange County party, they party. Or at least Vicki does. And she drags Tamra and Lydia along on her whoop-it-up spree.

Gretchen doesn't like it.

Things are heating up with the women south of the border! Let's recap it now with our THG +/- review!

The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 8 Cast

Vicki, Tamra, and Lydia finally arrive at Andale's. Now maybe Vicki will shut up about whooping it up at Andale's. Maybe. (Probably not.)

Gretchen and Heather are in the back of the limo waiting for the end of the bathroom trip of eternity. Gretchen starts telling Heather the tales Laurie told her about Vicki and Heather doesn't want to hear it. Plus 2.

They get out of the limo and into a cab to go back to the resort. Tamra hails her own cab by dancing on top of one and declaring that there's no better woman to party with than Vicki Gunvalson.

 

In the limo, Lydia and Tamra tell Vicki they're blaming her for ditching Heather and Gretchen. Then there's talk of bunions. Minus 8.

The three of them go in to Heather's room to apologize but Heather's not having it. Neither is Gretchen. Tamra can't stop laughing which just makes Gretchen and Heather more angry. She asks Tamra how Tamra could just run off like that and Tamra points at Vicki.

post-whooping

Buzz kill. Minus 20. But they kind of deserved it for ditching the girls. 

Back in Tamra's room, Vicki laughs that her "plan" worked! And then she pees Tamra's bed. Minus 50.

May clearer heads--and cleaner sheets--prevail the next day. 

The ladies meet in the lobby and plan to go see the town. Gretchen thanks Vicki for showing up at their rendezvous and Vicki keeps walking right out the door and straight to the limo. Minus 12.

Heather and Lydia decide to skip the penis straws in their mimosas.

Lydia asks if they're all good about last night. Heather says she's not happy and was embarrassed and everything felt really sad. But she's trying to move on in the spirit of having a good weekend. Plus 10.

After watching a baby bull fight a matador, the women have regrouped themselves in the limo. Lydia, Vicki, and Tamra on one end and Heather and Gretchen on another. The trio recounts their fun from the following night and Heather chimes in that they didn't get that fun, so that's a bummer for them. 

Lydia sees a bull

There's cat fighting in the limo and Lydia calls Gretchen "negative." With the desire for everything to be so positive all the time are we sure Lydia doesn't take hits of her mom's bong when Grandma's not looking? 

Gretchen starts to cry and Tamra tries to console her. Then Vicki gets angry. Minus 6.

Once they're back at the resort, Vicki and Lydia head down to sit by the pool. Tamra and Heather join them and Gretchen follows shortly after bearing gifts. Plus 10.

Vicki mocks the fact that there are Gretchen Christine products in their goodie bags. When tension rises between Gretchen and Vicki, Tamra tries to break it by telling them all about Vicki peeing her bed.

"I leaked. I'm gonna own it," says Vicki. And then she says that we've all done it at least once in our lives. Ummmm...moving on.

Tamra asks Gretchen to go take a walk with her and Vicki starts in on how Gretchen is the reason she and Tamra aren't close friends anymore. Every word out of Vicki's mouth drips with disdain for Gretchen. She's condescending and rude and Gretchen does an excellent job of keeping her cool. Plus 5 to Gretchen for that. Minus 20 to Vicki for being a raging lunatic.

Tamra tells Gretchen about Vicki's "my plan worked" comment and then the camera flashes back to Vicki and Lydia talking. Vicki thinks that Gretchen should look to her as a mentor. HAHAHAHHAHAHA. Minus 10.

Back on the beach, Gretchen asks Tamra why she pushes people away when they get close to her. Tamra starts to cry and tells Gretchen about her newfound revelation that feelings are okay.

Tamra gravitates to people like Tamra because they don't "get deep." They don't make her confront herself.

Team Gretchen.

Back in OC, Alexis and Jim go to dinner. She's not jealous of the other women who are whooping it up in Mexico, but she's totally jealous. Minus 4

Lydia called her and doesn't know what to do about the strippers who are coming to play later. Jim shuts down conversation about the women and asks to be left out of it.

So Alexis says she wants to have another baby. Jim says they can talk about it again in 5 years. She counters with 6 months. Then she says the dumbest thing she's said all season:

"You may be faster, but I will outrun you. You know what that means?" 

 

No, Alexis, just like Jim, NONE OF US know what that means. Minus 10. And Minus 10 more for making us think about you and Jim doing the dirty.

alexis wants another baby

Gretchen has decked out their resort suite for Tamra's night. She's also vowed to have fun with Vicki for Tamra's sake. After a quick cocktail, Tamra opens a present and then dinner is served. 

Strangest revelation of the night is that Lydia shops at Victoria's Secret. 

Heather shops at...I'm not sure where she shops. But she bought Tamra a diamond-studded whip. And a pregnancy test. And hand sanitizer. And latex gloves. Plus 12.

And Vicki buys her the largest dildo ever.

Once dinner winds down a bit, Lydia excuses herself to go and call Doug. She doesn't want to see the strippers Gretchen has hired to tantalize Tamra.

Except they don't tantalize so much as nearly violate her. It's not exactly clear if Gretchen hired strippers or prostitutes. But hey, fun was had by all, I guess. Plus 5.

Just for funsies, here's Heather's face while the Magic Mikes were doing their, uh, Tamra, Gretchen, and Vicki.

Safety first!

Lydia joins the girls for breakfast the next morning and Tamra doesn't quite understand why she could dance on a bar but not stay for the strippers. Me either, Tamra. Oh well.

Until next time...

The Bachelorette Recap: Dodgeball!

The Bachelorette Recap: Dodgeball!

It's Game On for the men of The Bachelorette season 9. Tonight they'll compete for Desiree Hartsock's affections over a rousing game of dodge ball. And one of them will get a special visitor.

Who will survive tonight's Rose Ceremony? Read our THG +/- recap now to find out! (Or just skip straight to The Bachelorette spoilers.)

The Bachelorette Dodgeball Photo

Chris Harrison shows up at Casa de Testosterone to say there will be three dates this week: Two group dates and one one-on-one date.

There's still a lot of tension with Ben. So Bension? Minus 4 (for my terrible joke).

Chris, Brian, Drew, Michael, Brooks, Brad, Mikey, Brandon, Zack K., and Ben are invited on the first group date. None of them are impressed to be sharing a limo with Ben.

They'll be playing Dodgeball today. Here to school them in the ways of dodging and balling is a team from the National Dodgeball League. Which is apparently a thing. 

After the guys get initiated, and by initiated I mean pummeled, Chris shows up to divide the men into two teams. Only one team will move on to the second part of the date with Desiree. The other 5 will be returning to Casa de Testosterone.

They'll battle it out for the rest of the date in front of an audience of bystanders at an outdoor shopping mall who have no doubt been recruited for the express purpose of watching them throw balls at one another. Also, men. Throwing balls. I might be 12. 

The guys are given tiny shorts and tank tops and they're taking it all in stride. Plus 8. 

The red team is in it to win it. The blue team got Ben. They might turn on him. He should watch his back.

Chris and Drew are the final men standing for their respective teams in Round One. Drew manages to best Chris and Round One goes to the Blue Team.

Round Two, however, goes to the Red Team thanks to Brandon.

Bachelorette Dodgeball Game

At the beginning of Round Three, Brooks takes a weird spill at the ball line and can't get up. His finger is broken and he heads to the hospital to have it reset. But the game must go on and the Red Team vows to win it for their boy Brooks.

Chris and Zack are the final men standing and Zack puts Chris out of his dodgeball misery. The Blue Team gets to go on the rest of the date with Desiree. The Red Team gets to go home and ice Brooks' finger.

JUST KIDDING. 

Desiree declares them all winners so they're all going to the after party. Plus 10. 

Except Brooks. Because he's at the hospital. Minus 2.

While Brooks is at the hospital having his finger reset, he passes out from the pain. But he's still in his short-shorts and his tank top so I'm not really sure which is more embarrassing. 

Desiree makes a toast to Brooks and then asks Brad to visit the hotel rooftop with her. He needs to tell her about his past, which sounds juicy. 

He drops the bomb that he has a 3 year old son, Maddox. He has full custody of his son and only came here because Desiree was the bachelorette. Plus 10 to him for not using his son as a ploy to get her attention during the opening ceremonies.

Chris makes a bold move to garner Desiree's attention and steals her away to a special spot in the hotel: the helicopter pad. Des is impressed. Plus 7.

Bachelorette Dodgeball

After their tiny conversation, he thinks he might get the rose. But Brooks is back. In his short-shorts and tank top. Plus 25. 

She whisks him away immediately and they end up making out. Because of course they do. I'm Team Brooks, by the way. So far at least.

Chris gets the rose and they get a private concert. And Chris gets to kiss Desiree while the other guys watch from above and stew and appear on the verge of man tears.

Chris is "ecstatic" and calls this "the greatest moment on this journey so far." He feels lots and lots of "chemistry" with Des. So that's what we're calling it these days. 

It's time for the one-on-one date and Desiree has scheduled her date with Kasey. But before she can go on that date, Chris Harrison calls her to give her some news.

One of the guys is being dishonest. Dun dun dun... Minus 12.

Kasey's ready to have their date but first she has to talk to Brian. She leads with "is there anything you want to tell me?" And he says he's feeling very strongly for her. 

He tells her his past relationship was over a long time ago even if they only broke up a short time ago and in walks Chris Harrison with Brian's "ex" girlfriend. Minus 15.

The guys are shocked! And angry! Some of them may be eyeballing her in case they're sent home this week! Hey, baby, can I get your number??

This feels so fake! At least her tears do. When she flips the anger switch it feels real. And Brian just sits there kind of embarrassed and sheepish like a guy who's been caught.

Apparently, she has a son and he cares about her but she tried to break up with him and he said no, they just needed a break. And drama drama drama.

Two nights before going to L.A. to find love with Des, Brian slept with his not-really ex-girlfriend. Who is apparently a little nuts and likes to throw actual rocks at his face.

Des makes the decision to send the "lying, cheating, deceitful pig" packing immediately. Plus 8. And another Plus 5 for the giant bouncer, Paulie. I'll bet he's really a big teddy bear.

Stephanie Larimore Pic

When Des tells the guys what just happened, the look between Michael and Brooks is priceless. Truly awesome. She gives the guys the opportunity to tell her anything they need to tell her and no one makes a move. 

She and Kasey head off on their date. Finally. Plus 10.

Sidenote: If I were taking a drink every time someone said "for the right reasons" or a variation thereof tonight, I'd be, well, incredibly drunk. Incredibly. So drunk this would be unintelligible. 

Brandon gets the man tears thinking about his life and how he grew up and how Brian cheated on a single mom. He's, like, legit upset about this to the point that I wonder if he's been hitting the sauce before breakfast. 

Desiree and Kasey are ready to have some fun on their date. And that fun involves rappelling down the side of a building while sky dancing. It's called Bandaloop.

Kasey says it feels like they're sharing a moment no one else will share. Well, Kasey, that's because you are. Minus 8

The rest of their date is supposed to be on the rooftop of the building they just danced down, but out of nowhere the wind picks up and there's no way for them to have a conversation. So they jump into the pool. And freeze. And kiss. While the stuff on the roof blows down around them. 

Despite the disaster that was their date, she gives him a rose anyway. The disaster wasn't his fault. Plus 9.

Back at Casa de Testosterone, the guys headed on group date #2 load into a stagecoach to go meet Desiree. A stagecoach. With horses. A team of them. 

Okay, then.

Zak Waddell Photo

They're taken to the scene of a western where Desiree is in a period costume from the Wild West. The guys will be going through Cowboy Bootcamp with the stunt team from the Disney movie The Lone Ranger. Plus 2 for mention of Johnny Depp!!

The guys are all really great sports about learning to lasso and fight. I'm pretty sure they all knew how to quick draw their pistols before this, though. Ahem.

Desiree plays the damsel in distress and the guys mount their horses. The one who rescues her best will get some extra time with Desiree later.

Dan splits his pants. Zak makes her laugh. Juan Pablo uses his super powers of sex appeal and wins the competition. Plus 7.

And now we're treated to a commercial for the upcoming flick. And also to a liplock between Desiree and Juan Pablo, which she calls "passionate." 

Following their private viewing of The Lone Ranger, Desiree and Juan Pablo rejoin the rest of the guys. Bryden gets the time with Desiree first. He's so delightfully awkward. Plus 3.

Zak W. pays her a great compliment when he says she's a team player who makes everyone comfortable. They laugh really well together. Good, hearty belly-laughing from the two of them. Plus 5.

James is maybe more awkward than Bryden. He's worried about his dad back home and his head isn't all the way in the game. He asks her if she sees something more between the two of them and she gives him the rose to alleviate his worries. Plus 2.

Desiree Hartsock Image

Chris shows up at the house and says that tonight's cocktail party has been canceled. Instead, Des wants to have a "relaxed, chill" pool party. 

Ben's already up to his antics. Minus 15.

He sneaks out the door and grabs her as soon as she pulls up, enticing her to go for a drive before going in to see the other guys. He kisses her in plain view of the other guys and then tells her the car ride is "their little secret." He's so skeevy and she doesn't see it. Minus 10.

Mikey and Chris set Ben up and he lies about spending time with Desiree before the pool party. He lies to Kasey and James, too. Minus 4.

Mikey and Michael call him out on it and he says he doesn't kiss and tell. Then Michael says he can't unscramble that egg and I decide that's a line I'm going to use in real life from now on. Plus 3 for that.

Brandon grabs her for some alone time and tells her about how hard it was to hear about Brian. Then he promises no man tears. And he promises never to hurt her or take her for granted. And that he's falling in love with her. And then he kisses her. 

Finally! The Rose Ceremony!

Brian is already out. James, Kasey, and Chris have roses from the dates. Joining them are:

  • Bryden
  • Juan Pablo
  • Zak W.
  • Brooks
  • Drew
  • Zack K.
  • Brad
  • Michael G.
  • Mikey
  • Ben

Leaving tonight:

  • Brandon
  • Dan

Maybe Brandon's man tears were too much for her? Or his declaration of love? She tells him he's an incredible person but just not the one for her. 

She goes after him and tells him it needed to be now instead of later. She didn't feel the chemistry he felt. 

He's so morose. Put him in one of those hook-up houses that'll come out later this summer, okay? Brandon needs some love. Or lust. Whichever.

Debbie Rowe: Guardian of Paris Jackson ... If Teen Makes the Request

Debbie Rowe: Guardian of Paris Jackson ... If Teen Makes the Request

Is Debbie Rowe poised to become Paris Jackson's legal guardian after all these years?

If the 15-year-old wants it, and she very well might, in light of recent events, it's likely.

  • Rizzowe
  • Paris Jackson Outfit

The custody judge in the teen's guardianship case has ordered an investigation into her welfare after the stunning Paris Jackson suicide attempt last week.

Debbie Rowe has, thus far, made no attempt to become Paris' legal guardian. That title belongs to Katherine Jackson, Michael's mother, and T.J. Jackson.

T.J., Tito's son, is Paris' cousin. He was installed as co-guardian last summer, but all of this could change if the judge deems it in Paris' best interest.

With his own wife and kids, T.J.'s role has been marginal, according to TMZ, and Paris feels that Katherine, while loving, is not "connected" to her life.

Paris and Debbie have developed an intense relationship in recent months, and the judge will no doubt weigh this factor if Paris pushes for a change.

Moreover, if Paris Jackson wants Debbie Rowe as her guardian, which insiders say it's a "likely" scenario, Debbie would gladly accept the responsibility.

When Michael Jackson died in June 2009, Debbie voiced concern about the welfare of her children, Paris and Prince, but accepted Katherine as guardian.

As long as the kids were protected, she has never made an effort to be involved, but things changed recently when Paris started reaching out to her.

Debbie never waived her right to a guardianship, as some sources have erroneously reported, and a judge would no doubt take her overtures seriously.

Not only is she her biological mother, but she's forged a real bond with her lately. Do you think maybe this change is just what the youngster needs?

Tim Tebow to Sign with Patriots

Tim Tebow to Sign with Patriots

Look out, Tom Brady!

ESPN has confirmed that Tim Tebow will officially sign with the New England Patriots tomorrow, as the embattled ex-Bronco and ex-Jet looks to resurrect his career with one of the NFL's top franchises.

T. Tebow

Tebow was released by New York in late April after producing very little as Mark Sanchez's backup last season.

In New England, he will be reunited with former Head Coach Josh McDaniels, who currently serves as the Patriots' Offensive Coordinator.

Chuck Norris is clearly a fan of this move... but should Patriot supporters be excited? Is the team making a good move in signing Tebow?
