Home > Cookery > Great British Bake Off Final: Raymond Blanc reveals winner, Ruby Tandoh needs a drink & betting closed on Frances Quinn! October 22nd, 2013 by Lisa McGarry. The Great British Bake Off final is set to air this evening and it’s going to be a tense and dramatic affair, if comments from one of the finalists are to be believed. Ruby Tandoh has made it all the way through to the final three and having won the ‘star baker’ accolade three times already in the current series – more than anyone else in the competition this year – she is being tipped as the favourite to take the crown this evening. However, the 21 year old model – who has had a number of emotional breakdowns already on screen – has admitted that she is planning to get drunk while watching the episode tonight, admitting that it was a ‘painful’ experience for her. The University College London student added: “I need to be inebriated before I watch it. “They (my friends) are loving it because obviously ...

A man featured on Shark Tank in 2012 along with his three brothers was killed in a car accident earlier this year. His brothers appeared in an update segment on tonight’s episode, revealing that Keith “KJ” Mastronardo died. The four got an investment from Barbara Corcoran in their organic skin care line Nardo’s Natural. The Tampa Bay Times reported that on March 19, KJ “swerved his motorcycle to avoid hitting [an] animal” and “lost control and was thrown off the motorcycle, landing in the path of a Toyota heading west on Belleair Road [in Clearwater, Fla.], which struck him.” His obituary says he “moved to Florida to join his three brothers, [his girlfriend] Megan followed and is teaching k-5th grade,” while he and Megan “planned to be married soon.” On tonight’s episode, one of his brothers said, “A large piece of our family and business has been lost, but it’s made us bond as brothers, and we’re doing our best to remain positive to continue pursuing the American dream.” View the or...

Home > American TV Shows > New Girl ‘Keaton’ Spoilers: Schmidt begins drinking from the bottle… of Mayonnaise and Cece & her cheating ex reunite October 22nd, 2013 by Nick Barnes. New Girl continues this evening on FOX and it seems like Cece is ready to get back to being herself… but it isn’t going to end well. Cece has been locked away in her apartment for a good while now, ever since it surfaced that Schmidt had been taking her for a ride, along with Elizabeth. The big story at the beginning of the season was that he had been playing both girls off against each other as he couldn’t choose which he wanted to be with the most. The end result? he lost both of them. While Schmidt seems to be getting on with his life (and Nick is now rich.. or was before he blew it all), Cece has been locked away in her apartment but that is all set to change on tonight’s new episode. Tonight’s episode is titled ‘Keaton’ and the guys attend a Halloween party. Cece is persuaded to go to the p...

« Kailyn Lowry Jokes About Joining The Biggest Loser | Home | Kim Kardashian And Kanye West Engaged » October 21, 2013 06:00 PM by Stephanie Gustafson We’re not sure how it’s possible, but it’s always been a full decade since the five guys of Queer Eye entered the world of reality television. Last night, they joined Andy Cohen for a much-anticipated reunion. What did fashion expert and Dancing With The Stars  alum Carson Kressley have to say about his impact on homosexuality and the media? Ten years after his debut on reality TV, Carson Kressley remains the best known of all the Queer Eye cast members. In other words, he’s the Elton John of the show. But when he first entered the realm of reality television, the fashion guru certainly didn’t expect to revolutionize the small screen. He admits, “All I wanted to do was get rid of mullets and pleated khakis. We never had a political agenda.” And yet, through their goofy humor and continued grooming efforts, Carson and his cohorts manag...

Dancing with the Stars eliminated no one last night after all viewer votes were thrown out because incorrect phone numbers were displayed last week, resulting in viewers voting for people they didn’t intend to vote for. While first pretending they were going to eliminate someone at the end of the episode (“so mean,” Brooke observed), Tom Bergeron explained: “Last week, at the end of the show we had a technical problem in the broadcasts of the eastern and central time zones. The incorrect phone numbers were shown and may have resulted in some votes accidentally cast for the wrong couple. So, in fairness, we have decided to discard all the viewer votes and not eliminate anyone this week.” Brooke said that “all of the judges stores and bonus points from tonight will carry over to next week,” but neither said whether there will be a double elimination, which would make sense to keep the show on track for its finale.

TNT has ordered an interesting new food competition series from Mark Burnett’s One Three Media called On the Menu : each episode’s winning dish will go on the menu at the next day. Here’s how TNT describes the show: “Each episode of On the Menu will center on a different American food business — ranging from restaurant chains and stadium concession stands to amusement parks and cruise lines. Passionate home cooks, working in conjunction with professional chefs, will be challenged to create the business’ next signature menu item. The winning dish will immediately go on the menu, giving viewers at home the chance to go try the dish the very next day.” There’s no way this show won’t feature heavy product integration via the “food business” being featured, and that can work ( The Pitch ) or be overwrought and annoying ( Undercover Boss ), so I hope that the sell to viewers is not too heavy handed. But it’s a smart way to produce a show and provide something of value for both a sponsor and...

« Kim Kardashian And Kanye West Engaged | Home October 22, 2013 01:40 PM by Stephanie Gustafson We knew it was bound to happen sooner than later….and now that her divorce drama with Kris Humphries is over, Kim Kardashian is finally able to put a ring on it — for the third time, no less! And since no engagement is complete without the chiming in of Kim’s Keeping Up With The Kardashians sisters, we’re now able to glimpse the entire occasion through the continued Twitter and Instagram posts of Khloe and Kourtney. Based on a series of super enthusiastic tweets, we’re not sure who was most excited about last night’s epic Kimye engagement: the bride-to-be, or her beloved sisters. Given Khloe Kardashian’s over-the-top response, we might have to go with the latter option. The reality star’s sis must have been on hand for the occasion, as she live-tweeted the entire proposal. First, having witnessed Kanye’s extravagant setup, Khloe exclaimed, “Wow!!!!! Am I dreaming??!?!” And then, when she r...

And yet, the Teen Mom star remains worried about the prospect of dropping those extra pounds. Her grand plan for slimming down? A stint on The Biggest Loser!  Shedding baby weight is never easy, but if anyone’s up to the challenge, it’s Kailyn Lowry. Based on recently posted photos, the reality star remains enviably slim, even as she prepares to give birth for the second time. She attributes this minimal weight gain to a combination of healthy eating and regular exercise. But despite her excellent physique, Kailyn Lowry worries about the few pounds she’s managed to put on over the course of her pregnancy. She recently expressed that worry (plus an interesting idea for slimm...

Massages. Toenails. Yoga. Vytas telling Caleb, “your skin looks great.” Vytas talking about how “peaceful” and beautiful the Philippines are. Yes, there was day spa filler for a large part of Survivor Blood vs. Water , which had long stretches of the mundane punctuated by some really dramatic and interesting moments and challenges. The first truly exciting truel at Redemption Island was won by John, leaving Candice to battle it out against Fuck You Brad Culpepper, who ultimately won. Candice’s exit is somewhat tragic, in part because Candice never really had a chance since replacing RC as a last-minute alternate, but mostly because we still have to deal with the insufferable Culpeppers. For her part, Monica apologized to Brad (for what?), who insisted, “I’m not here because I’m a jerk.” No, that’s exactly why you’re there, buddy. After John won, he gave the immunity clue to Monica, and the editing made it seem like she was at least considering keeping it, until Probst asked if she’d b...

Home > American TV Shows > The Voice won’t turn their back on Cee-Lo Green despite felony drug charge October 22nd, 2013 by Nick Barnes. It has today been confirmed that The Voice will not be terminating Cee-Lo Green’s contract despite his recently felony drug charge. Rumours circulated earlier this week that the ‘Forget You’ singer could be facing the chop from the show due to his recent drug charges, however, that doesn’t seem to be the case, according to TMZ. The singer recently pleaded not guilty to the charge for allegedly giving a woman ecstasy or MDMA during a dinner event in 2012. The woman claimed that Cee-Lo slipped ecstasy into her drink and she woke up in bed, naked, next to the singer. She claims she doesn’t remember how she got there – slip us a few Vodka’s too many on a night out and we barely remember getting home either. It must also be noted in Cee-Lo’s defense that he has insisted what happened between them that night was consensual. Cee-Lo’s lawyer, Blair ...

Home > American TV Shows > The Mindy Project ‘Bro Club for Dudes’ spoilers: Mindy hates working at the office as her ultimate trash talk session goes too far October 22nd, 2013 by Nick Barnes. On tonight’s episode of The Mindy Project , Mindy ends up hating working in the office because she’s surrounded by males all the time, and judging by the way she tries to warm Peter up before his big fight, we can only presume that has something to do with it. Peter has his big fight on tonight’s show and prior to the event, Mindy, Danny andy Jeremy attempt the ultimate trash talk session to get him in the mood. There’s the whole “I banged your mom last night”, “I banged your dad last night”, “You’re a big fatty and everybody hates you” jibes, but Mindy goes a bit far when she reveals that Peter’s (guest star Adam Pally) ex-girlfriend has just got engaged to her new boy toy. “Okay, i got a great one! According to Facebook, your ex-girlfriend Becca just got engaged because you’re such a l...

The cast of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy reunited on Bravo last night, and although it was an Andy Cohen-hosted reunion with all of its usual annoyances, the hour offered a lot of insight, and made one thing exceedingly clear: Bravo needs to resurrect this show, now. With a few exceptions, Bravo has been mired in a swamp of asshole-fueled reality shows, and what it really needs is the joy, positivity, and authenticity that Queer Eye brought to the network—and helped define the network as a home of smart reality TV. Carson Kressley, Ted Allen, Kyan Douglas, Thom Filicia, and Jai Rodriguez proved during the reunion that TV still needs them. As Jai pointed out, “There is something magical when the five of us get together.” It’s all about the chemistry, and the reunion demonstrated that they still have it—and it may even be stronger now. It was also very real, full of actual transformations and genuine emotion. Talking about the episode where the Fab Five help a man transition to life...

Home > American TV Shows > Homeland renewed for fifth season, Masters of Sex returning for sophomore run next year October 22nd, 2013 by Nick Barnes. Some amazing news for Homeland fans surfaced earlier today! Homeland has been renewed for a fourth season by Showtime and will once again return next October. We’re barely part way through this year’s season yet and we already have the brilliant news that we can expect more Carrie, Saul, Nick and co next year. However, the news poses more questions than it gives answers. What’s going to happen with Carrie and Saul now that we know they’re working together? What will happen with Nick? He is currently on the run as the most wanted man in the US – will it be proven that he was not responsible for the Langley bombing? Who knows – but it’s interesting to speculate where the current season may be going and what sort of a cliffhanger we will be left on this time as the season 2 finale was a perfect cliffhanger to move into season thre...

The 24th season of The Amazing Race has long been rumored to be yet another season of returning cast members, and teams who are allegedly participating have just been identified. They include Rachel and Brendan, of course/alas. Nine of the 11 teams are from the past four seasons of the show, and all are from seasons that have aired in the past three years, continuing a CBS tradition which assumes viewers have no memory. The teams were revealed in a series of tweets (1, 2, 3, 4) by the anonymous person who goes by Miss Cleo, who apparently joked about the source of the information to try to (get a team in trouble), and has been concealing the teams’ identities since June. Typically, the race films from mid-November into December, for about three and a half weeks, depending upon the itinerary. Also typically, teams aren’t identified until the race gets underway and they are photographed in the airport and on their route. Considering that production isn’t even close to starting, there c...

More evidence that Food Network’s shameful Restaurant Stakeout is fake: The owner of The Original Mama Angelo’s said producers “made us stage incidents. They made the staff fight … it wasn’t real. That was upsetting.”AMC tells me that there’s no word yet on the future of its great series The Pitch , but the network has renewed Small Town Security and announced a new documentary series: King Of Arms , which is “a look inside the raw and highly-competitive world of American arm wrestling.”Florida’s ridiculous attorney general, Pam Bondi, recently postponed an execution so she could attend a fundraiser—for her own re-election campaign. Now, three days after she announced she was considering deciding whether to join New York’s lawsuit against Trump Institute, “Trump’s foundation cut a $25,000 check to a committee associated with Bondi’s campaign,” The Orlando Sentinel’s Scott Maxwell reports. Incredible. In August, Trump’s school was sued by New York’s attorney general for $40 million, ...

Instead, the Kardashian star is set to walk down the aisle for a third time! That’s right, Kanye proposed with a massive ring for Kim’s birthday, and she said yes! Details inside! Kim Kardashian is engaged….again. This time, the reality star got the birthday surprise of her life when her beau, and father of her four month old daughter, Kanye West popped the question on her special day! On Monday, West swooped up Kardashian and took her to San Francisco’s AT&T Park, which he rented out for her birthday.

A cast member on Survivor Blood vs. Water has warned friends and family that what will be shown on television tonight doesn’t reflect reality. Laura Morett, who’s married and has kids, says that tonight’s episode will suggest that there was some kind of intimacy between her and someone else even though the situation was “innocent” and thus she’s “offended” that the network is “implying anything inappropriate” took place. She doesn’t go into greater detail, but it’s an interesting advance warning from a cast member who has a lot of integrity. Here’s her full Facebook post: “To all my family and friends: I knew going into this that I was taking the chance of the risk of the “edit” of Hollywood. Tonights episode of Survivor does just that. They have taken a COMPLETELY innocent situation and make it look “Intimate”.

Newark mayor Cory Booker was elected to the United States Senate yesterday, which The Star-Ledger reports “makes history” because he’s “the first African-American to represent New Jersey in the U.S. Senate.” He is also the first former reality TV show cast member to become a senator. Booker’s rise from mayor to senator is somewhat different than former Real World cast member Sean Duffy’s rise to Tea Party congressman. Both were followed by cameras for documentary-style series, but Booker was followed while he was mayor by filmmakers who produced the great 2009 Sundance reality series Brick City , which won a Peabody Award. The series is now on DVD, and three of its cast members are now being followed for a new series, Pivot’s Jersey Strong . It follows Jessica “Jayda” Jacques and her fiance Darel “Creep” Evans, members of the Bloods and Crip gangs, and also Brooke Barnett, an attorney who once defended Jayda, and her partner Maggie.

An ITV Lorraine survey has highlighted that couples DO believe that fertility is affected by sexual position. The survey of nearly 1200 participants has shown that when trying for a baby, one in three (31%) believe the position they adopt during sex can affect fertility, with nearly a third (30%) of couples sticking their legs in the air to help them conceive. When it comes to wanting to start a family, the Lorraine Baby Race survey has shown that of those asked, 30% took over a year to conceive, with 37% only having sex up to three times a month and nearly one in ten (8%) not having had sex in over 3 months. Focusing on issues around infertility, the survey found that 3 in 4 of those asked know a couple suffering from infertility and the same amount suffering fertility issues due to male factors, ie low sperm count.

Michael Fortunato, who appeared on MTV’s Catfish , died Saturday of a pulmonary embolism related to deep vein thrombosis. He was 26. Mike appeared on the Sept. 3 episode, “Ashley and Mike,” which followed Ashley revealing to Mike that she’d been lying about her appearance, and it turned out that he’d been doing the same to her. MTV News reported that “Mike texted [Ashley] early Saturday morning saying he was considering going to the hospital, but later wrote that he changed his mind. His sister Gena, 21, tells MTV News that Fortunato left his Connecticut workplace early to drive himself to the hospital, but swerved and hit a fence en route. When the paramedics arrived at the scene they transported him to the hospital for treatment,” where he later died.

Paula Abdul will become the head judge on So You Think You Can Dance —though the Australian version, not the in-need-of-a-makeover Fox version, when it returns in 2014. The Australian version was cancelled after three seasons in 2010, but Network Ten has picked up a version now produced by Shine Australia. The Telegraph calls this “a youthful reinvention” of the show that will also feature “Aussie ballroom king Jason Gilkison, hot choreographer Shannon Holtzapffel and Tap Dogs star Aaron Cash” as judges. The show’s new host will be Carrie Bickmore from The Project. In a statement, Paula said, “I am thrilled to be a part of this great show and to experience first-hand the skill, passion and athleticism of these dancers. Aussie dancers are without doubt some of the best in the world and it is an honour for me to be a part of finding Australia’s best dancer.” View the original article here

Hotel Impossible broke the fourth wall repeatedly last night as Anthony Melchiorri worked on the Hurricane Sandy-destroyed Thunderbird Motel in Seaside Heights, N.J., and eventually walked off the job because of horrific behavior from the family that owned it. He’d actually found a hotel that it was impossible to help, kind of like the now-famous Amy’s Baking Company episode of Kitchen Nightmares . The two-part episode is coming near the end of the show’s third season (it’s been renewed for a fourth), and was framed as an uplifting post-Sandy makeover, but the hotel turned out to be not exactly worthy of the show’s time, effort, or resources. It was an unexpected twist, because I thought it would be two episodes of devastation and sympathy. Part one ended with a cast member talking off-camera but still on mic about wanting footage to be deleted, and included repeated death threats, like “if you screw with my family, you won’t make it home,” which the family’s patriarch said to a prod...

The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member Caroline Manzo is leaving the Bravo series after five seasons, as has been previously reported, and she has now given a very thoughtful reason as to why—and then totally undermined that reason. On her Bravo blog, she wrote, “When we started filming Housewives so long ago, Al made me promise him one thing. He said, ‘Just be yourself and have fun with it.’ I’ve always prided myself on giving you the truth of who I really am, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Over the past few years my outlook on the show has changed from something I couldn’t wait to show my future grandchildren to something I hope my future grandchildren never see. I’ve always prided myself on being a good example for my children and my decision to leave is based on advice I’ve always given them: ‘Be true to yourself and be proud of who you are, you are born with a name and you die with a name, don’t dirty it up.’ Going back to film another season of Housewives would only ma...

Survivor South Pacific jury member Edna Ma appeared on Shark Tank last night, pitching her products that minimize pain for bikini waxing, Bare Ease and Numb Nuts (for men!). Her segment came in a strong episode that ended with a dramatic segment that illustrates the show’s greatness, especially now that Mark Cuban is part of it. Edna’s pitch included her emotional story and fun moments like Edna offering product samples—i.e. plastic panties—to the sharks, and was probably the most polite presentation, rejection, and reaction in the history of the series. “Thank your feedback and time,” Edna told each shark when they rejected her. As she left, Mark Cuban said, “Congratulations on a great start, Edna.” While the sharks loved Edna, they did not like her low sales and Edna’s focus on the business along with her full-time day jobs—teaching and practicing medicine—and her family. Incredibly, Edna sells her kit for $18 when it costs $2.82 to make. Last year, she sold $45,000 worth, and thi...
