Finally! Big Brother erupts in strategy, tears, power shifts, and evictions

Those of us who’ve slogged through Big Brother all summer long finally got payoff last night, as power shifted completely from the beginning to the end of the episode and the duos twist officially ended, as there are no pairs of returning houseguests left. It was remarkably dramatic for an episode that was full of technical problems and seemed to have more commercials than content. We started with Daniele’s eviction, which seemed like it might not be a foregone conclusion, especially after late-night Wednesday conversations that included Rachel learning Jeff had thrown the veto competition leading up to Brendon’s eviction. That gave Daniele “a glimmer of hope in red extensions,” she said, especially since she also convinced Shelly to vote with her. Rachel told us, “As much as I hate her guts, keeping Daniele just might be a better game move”—but then she voted to evict Daniele anyway, saying, “I vote to evict bad game play and backstabbers.” Rachel later called Daniele “pretty much a ...

Sick Big Brother fans threaten Shelly and her family with death, rape; express their hatred

Some extraordinarily stupid and horrible people are threatening Big Brother 13 houseguest Shelly Moore and her family, at least in part because Shelly’s vote sent beloved Jeff Schroeder out of the game on Thursday. Saturday, executive producer Allison Grodner pleaded on Twitter , “No matter how much you dislike an HG, this is wrong! True BB fans do not try to ruin lives. Please stop!” That’s a reference to some horrific behavior from a significant number of people who are severely overreacting by hating a person because of their actions on a reality TV show, which they think justifies their threats, libel, or other awfulness. As Yakkity Yaks first noted , fans’ “hate speech has gone to a whole new level. People are posting phone numbers and e-mails to Shelly’s work, urging others to call to get her fired from her job. They are urging people to help get Josie, Shelly’s young daughter, kicked out from her school. They are posting Child Social Service numbers, and asking that everyone ca...

No comments Matt Smith , who of course plays the current incarnation of Doctor Who , has revealed that he’d like the show’s 50th anniversary episode to be shot in 3-D. That episode is due to be filmed in November 2013, and despite recently claiming he won’t stay on as the Doctor indefinitely, Matt says he intends to be a part of the episode. He told BANG Showbiz, “I love making ‘Doctor Who’ and I get to be part of that 50th year which they’ll do something mental for. “You know it will be brilliant. I’m interested in all the 3-D stuff… “If it could be filmed for 3-D TV that would be fun, especially with ‘Doctor Who’, but it’s very expensive. I don’t know how they’d do it.” And while discussing what lies in the immediate future for his as the Doctor, Matt said, “For me, it’s just that I know that I’m going to shoot 14 episodes, of which I’ll be in all of them. “How they’ll actually schedule it, I ...

Olsen twins for Toms

As the brains behind the iconic fashion brand ‘The Row’, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen have now decided to expand on their designing skills by teaming up with the charitable American shoe label Toms to create a wearable and affordable capsule collection.

Choosing an Antique Engagement Ring

The first well documented diamond engagement ring, was given as far back as 1477, by Archduke Maximilian of Austria. Diamonds have since become a mark of dedication and everlasting love. The endless popularity of diamonds, has resulted in trouble inside the industry. For a growing group of men and women, this conflict can make diamond rings an undesirable gift. The emergence of fair trade diamond and gold industries is starting to have an impact, however, some people can’t afford this option, as fairtrade diamonds will cost more. The good news, however, is that there happens to be completely fairtrade and ethical option to buying diamond rings. Antique diamond rings are in my opinion just as desirable as brand new diamond rings. The fact that a ring has lasted one century and is nonetheless desirable shows the standard of workmanship and design that has gone into creating the ring. Antique jewellery hasn’t been mass produced like modern jewellery is. When you purchase antique, you buy...

Big Brother houseguest appears on Millionaire Matchmaker, says he's worth $10 million

A former Big Brother houseguest now says he’s worth $10 million, and appeared in last week’s season premiere of Bravo’s Millionaire Matchmaker . Michael Donnellan was the second person evicted from season six in 2005, where he was identified as an artist and was partnered with Kaysar, his neighbor. In his casting video , Michael says his “estimated asset value is over $10 million,” and talks about going from having a job that paid $70,000 or $80,000 a year to having a house in Cape Town, moving to Dubai for work, and buying an Aston Martin. Michael organized a date that led to a fight with Patti Stanger, which ended with her kicking him out of the Millionaire’s Club and him “calling her a whore in Italian,” according to TV Geek Army’s recap . The video of the date is included in the “dates with awkwardness” category on Bravo’s (still awful after all these years) web site, which says it is among “the most cring-worthy dates in Matchmaker history.” But from the clip below, it doesn’t ...

Coronation Street: Craig Charles used his own love of Northern Soul for his storylines

Home > Drama > Coronation Street: Craig Charles used his own love of Northern Soul for his storylines August 22nd, 2011 by Sarah. No comments The PA reports today that Corrie star Craig Charles has revealed that he used his own love of soul music to form part of his character, cabbie Lloyd Mullaney. As viewers of Coronation Street will know, Lloyd has a big collection of Northern Soul on vinyl records, and that aspect of the character was introduced by Craig. Craig said, “Everyone at Corrie knew I was into Northern Soul, so I think they tapped into that… “They made him [Lloyd] a sort of DJ and record collector – just like myself really.” Craig went on to reveal that he’s going to be taking a break from Corrie later this year to film a series of new Red Dwarf episodes.

Home > Drama > Dame Eileen Atkins will not appear in new series of Upstairs Downstairs August 22nd, 2011 by Sarah. No comments The BBC report today that Dame Eileen Atkins has announced that she won’t be starring in the forthcoming new series of Upstairs Downstairs, which she of course helped to create alongside Jean Marsh. Jean of course played maid Rose in the original TV drama – which ran from 1971 to 1975 – and she took on a new role in the latest revamp of the show.

However, the BBC reports that Dame Eileen made her decision to quit the show amid rumours that she’s “unhappy” with the direction the scripts for the new series are presently taking. A statement from the BBC reads, “It’s with much sadness that we say goodbye to her wo...

Lady Gaga for Barneys

With just129 days until the festive season, Barneys have already begun working on a brand new treat for us this Christmas, that’s sure to be hard to beat by other brand competetors. This winter, the iconic American department store will be hosting a Holiday Workshop fronted by the one and only Lady Gaga, after having recently been working with the likes of Nicola Formichetti (most widely known as the new creative director for the French fashion house Mugler), Eli Sudbrack and Hamaide Piersen – the artists behind Vivid Astro Focus.

Survivor South Pacific cast photos, names leak

The cast of Survivor South Pacific has not yet been officially announced by CBS, but their official cast photos and names have leaked, so we now know the identities of the 15 people who will play with returning cast members Coach and Ozzy and another Hantz . Photos of the cast that are look like CBS-produced official photographs were published on Survivor Sucks late yesterday, along with the cast members’ names. True Dork Times has a summary of the cast including links to other evidence that they’re on this season. They range in age from 20 to 51, and include a BYU English professor, a funeral director, a Harvard law student, and a Lingerie Football League player who appeared in Playboy . CBS’ Survivor web site has a page for the season 23 cast but it shows nothing, which is probably because the cast will be announced soon, not because of their ongoing efforts to make the show’s web site suck even more.

No comments Sally Lindsay, who’s starring in new Sky1 sitcom Mount Pleasant, has revealed that although she hasn’t starred in Coronation Street since 2006, people still relate to her as her Weatherfield character, Shelley Unwin.
