« Kourtney Kardashian Returns To College Stomping Grounds | Home December 03, 2013 12:30 PM by Lisa Princ Since his mother’s death, rumors have been buzzing that Scott Disick was changing his ways, turning into quite the devoted father instead of constant party hopper. However, it seems that our favorite Kardashian creeper has already gone back to his old ways! Ha! We knew it was too good to be true. While reports recently claimed that party loving Scott Disick was spending a lot more time at home being a father to his children, since the death of his mother, new rumors suggest that he is going right back to his partying ways. According to our friends at Radar Online , when Disick accompanied Kourtney Kardashian as she returned to her Alma Mater, Scott was back to boozing it up, this time with a bunch of college kids. One insider dished to the site: “You wouldn’t believe the madness that went on last night. The students were ecstatic and it was complete chaos,” adding that Disick wa...

« The Voice: Adam Levine Is Completely Clueless About One Direction | Home December 03, 2013 09:26 AM by Lisa Princ Kim Kardashian always manages to take flawless selfies, and if you’re wondering how she does it, you’re in luck. Recently, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star and proud mom dished her best tips to take the perfect selfie! Check out Kardashian’s tips inside… We know exactly what you are thinking…photoshop! Not according to Kim Kardashian. So, if she isn’t altering her photos, how exactly does she manage to always take the perfect selfie? Kardashian recently revealed how she does it in a new interview with Extra, claiming that there are several factors to a flawless photo. In the tutorial clip, where Kardashian is joined by her BFF Brittny Gastineau, Kim explains: “You always need your phone to be a little bit higher than lower…and know your angle.” Meanwhile, Gastineau insists that you need to “know your lighting,” as well. And finally, Kardashian goes on to add: “K...

« Jenelle Evans’ Child Support Payments Suspended | Home December 03, 2013 06:00 PM by Suzy Kerr The ladies of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills are experienced in the ways of insult delivery, and Lisa Vanderpump is no exception. Fifty years ago, spitting in the neighboring housewife’s casserole or calling her a hussy behind her back might have sufficed, but in 2013, it’s all about passive-aggressive attacks on social media (or saying that someone’s lady bits are funky on national television). It’s called evolution, people. Anyway, there’s nothing more cutting than simply refusing to acknowledge another woman’s Twitter feed (am I right?), and that’s exactly what Lisa is doing to one of her co-stars. Ooh, BURN! So which Housewife is Lisa Vanderpump blackballing on Twitter? If you just said “Brandi!”, then I’m sorry, you are incorrect. Even though the two have famously butted heads in the past, the leggy blonde is not top seed on Lisa’s sh*t list. That title belongs to none other th...

« Scott Disick Goes Right Back To His Partying Ways | Home | Giuliana Rancic Duets With Dee Snider To Sing ‘Silent Night’ For Charity » December 03, 2013 01:30 PM by Suzy Kerr Wow, Kris and Bruce Jenner weren’t kidding when they said they were still besties after announcing their split in October. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians stars got together over Thanksgiving, and they didn’t do it just for the sake of the children, either. These guys really do seem to still like each other….like, waaaaay more than normal exes do. Case in point: the two went on a movie date last week, which seems a tad unusual for a recently separated couple. TMZ caught up with the ex-couple outside a theater in Calabasas, where they met up for a friendly outing at the movies. Kris Jenner’s mom came along for the fun as well, and so did Bruce’s sweet ponytail. Side note: have we figured out what’s going on with the ponytail? Is he growing it out for charity or is he going for a cool grandpa image or somethi...

Home > Drama > Sherlock Series 3: Mini prequel episode, Many Happy Returns, to air on Christmas Day! December 4th, 2013 by Anna Howell. With New Year’s Day all highlighted in our planners as the premier of the third series of Sherlock, the BBC has announced that a mini prequel episode will be made available on Christmas Day! The episode, entitled Many Happy Returns, will be available to BBC viewers via the red button service between Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, when Sherlock Series 3 gets its debut. Not much is known about the episode at this time, although the official synopsis reads: “Sherlock Holmes has been gone for two years. But someone isn’t quite convinced that he’s dead…” Sherlock Series 3, which has been greatly anticipated for the best part of two years, is set to return on January 1st with its two main stars, Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock and Martin Freeman as Watson, and follows on from the series 2 cliff-hanger which saw Sherlock supposedly jump to his de...

Home > Soaps > Coronation Street: Jack P Shepherd says David Platt faces a lonely Christmas & adds, “He’s completely alone in the world!” (VIDEO) December 4th, 2013 by Lynn Connolly. Fans of Corrie will know that David Platt has been shunned by his entire family after it was revealed that he’d caused the car crash that left his brother Nick (Ben Price) with brain damage. And although his mum Gail (Helen Worth) feels sorry for her son, and talked her mother Audrey (Sue Nicholls) into letting him stay with her, it seems there’s no thawing in the attitude of David’s wife Kylie (Paula Lane) who wants nothing to do with him. So David faces a very lonely Christmas this year, as Jack P Shepherd, who of course plays David, has revealed to ITV… Here’s the full interview… Q How does David feel about the way his family is shutting him out? He’s feeling really depressed. He’s tried to make amends with Kylie and Gail and all he can say is how sorry he is but they’re having none of it. ...

« Chad Johnson Reacts To Evelyn Lozada’s Pregnancy | Home December 03, 2013 04:30 PM by Stephanie Gustafson He’s commended his baby mama time and time again on her selfie-snapping abilities, but Kanye West is now taking the next step in documenting Kim Kardashian’s beauty. Yeezus recently commission ed a Warhol-style portrait of his Keeping Up With The Kardashians beau — and the piece will be completed by Andy Warhol’s cousin! We’ve seen Kim Kardashian on dozens of magazine covers, in countless Instagram photos and of course, flaunting her assets in the latest and greatest Kardashian Christmas card. But now, fans can expect a whole new take on the famous face, which is set to be the inspiration for a new Monica Warhol portrait. If the artist’s name seems familiar, it should, for Monica Warhol is the cousin of 20th century icon Andy Warhol. She, however, views Kim as the real icon, praising (or insulting?) the celeb for being “famous for nothing” and possessing a visage that “looks li...

Home > American TV Shows > The Mindy Project ‘Christmas Party Sex Trap’ spoilers: Secret Santa dilemma & Mindy fits two bottles of wine in her bra December 3rd, 2013 by Nick Barnes. It’s Christmas time on The Mindy Project this week and no Christmas is complete without an office party… Well, if it’s the complete opposite to the party happening in this office block, anyway. Mindy suggests that the guys throw a party for the whole office block but, one should question: What’s the point in a Christmas party without any booze? Mindy tells the guys at Shulman & Associates: “Exciting news everybody! This Friday, Shulman & Associates is having a Christmas party for the entire building!” She defends her rather large idea by saying the office block is full of “Randos” who they should get to know better.  Danny points out that she’s trying to impress Cliff… For those of you who don’t know, Mindy has a bit of a crush on Cliff Gilbert who works for the lawyers firm whose offic...

On last night’s The Biggest Loser , Bob Harper publicly revealed he’s gay for the first time, though it’s long been well-known, and not just because he’s the trainer on the Queer Abs workout DVD or said he’s been out since he was 17. It’s just never something he’s talked about on the NBC reality competition. As TODAY.com notes, Bob came out to his team member Bobby Saleem, who was struggling with coming out to his father, who was visiting the ranch. Bob first told the cameras, “I haven’t talked about my sexuality on this show EVER. … I really do believe this is the right time. I want to show Bobby that he doesn’t have to live in shame.” He told Bobby, “I totally get it — I’m gay. I knew a very long time ago that I was gay, and the family that I grew up around was very much the same in that way — you know, there was so much repression there. I think that when I came out, when I was 17 years old, it was one of those kind of things where I realized there were so many obstacles. But being...

The strength of Survivor Blood vs. Water has given the show strong ratings that are leaving it as the number two reality show in the country, behind only The Voice , which airs on different nights. Survivor is far, far ahead of its timeslot competition, Fox’s The X Factor , which airs at the same time, and is, of course, terrifyingly bad. CBS said in a press release today that the show “delivered its largest audience of the season” with “10.18 million viewers”; it also had a 2.5 among adults 18 to 49. In final ratings, Survivor almost doubled the viewers who watched Simon Cowell’s lousy show, which had 5.51 million viewers and a 1.7 in 18-49, although the numbers for X Factor are its ratings across its entire two hours, and at 9 p.m., it had even stronger competition from Criminal Minds and Modern Family. Last week, Survivor was the 18th most-popular show and the second-most popular reality series during the week, behind a very strong The Voice . The NBC competition was the secon...

This will be the E! correspondent’s first time in the recording studio, and she’s partnering up with Twisted Sister’s Dee Snider to put their own spin on “Silent Night,” just in time for the holidays. I, for one, can’t wait to hear what is sure to be an interesting rendition of this classic Christmas song. The song will be available on iTunes starting today, and it’s just 99 cents, which is a small price to pay to hear if Giuliana has any singing chops or not. We know girlfriend knows how to work it when it comes to fashion, but singing is a whole new ballgame, and it will be interesting to see how she handles herself in the studio. Besides…Dee Snider from Twisted Sister singing with her? ‘Nuff said. The rocktastic rendition...

« Kim Kardashian And Kanye West Make Barbara Walter’s List Of Most Intriguing People For 2013 | Home | Scott Disick Goes Right Back To His Partying Ways » December 03, 2013 11:27 AM by Stephanie Gustafson It’s kinda hard to believe, given her status as a Keeping Up With The Kardashians star, but Kourtney Kardashian used to be a regular ol’ college student at the University of Arizona in Tucson. The other day, Kourtney returned to her alma matter, Scott Disick in tow…and was welcomed by an adoring crowd of current students! Yes, Kourtney Kardashian is a college grad, and yes, she did it all without riding on the coattails of reality stardom. The celeb holds plenty of fond memories surrounding her pre-fame college days, which is why she was super excited to return to her old stomping grounds to relive some of the best years of her life. Kourtney and Scott began their University of Arizona date with a stroll around campus, with Kourtney later tweeting, “Fun night walking around my old s...

Elan Gale, a producer on ABC’s The Bachelor , had a note-passing battle with a fellow passenger on a Thanksgiving Day US Airways flight, and it went viral over the holiday weekend, especially after Buzzfeed collected all of his tweets from the flight. The fight began when Gale sent her a note and a glass of wine because she was complaining repeatedly to airline staff about the flight’s delay, insisting she was more important than others. According to his tweets, a flight attendant told the passenger, “‘I understand ma’am. I’m looking forward to seeing my family too.’ She responded ‘This isn’t about you.’” Gale’s tweets included photos of the notes he sent to the woman, one of which said, “I hate you very much. Eat my dick.” After the plane landed, she slapped him. Gale later wrote on Tumblr, “I know I can come across as abrasive. I know I can seem harsh. But what I’ve never done is be unkind to a person in a service position. … I don’t care what’s going on with you: Don’t be rude to p...

A new Funny or Die video starring George Takei as the host of a gay version of ABC’s The Bachelor offers a somewhat convincing, if stereotype-ridden and totally jokey, argument as to why a gay season of the show might not work structurally. This parody, which stars Jesse Tyler Ferguson and has a few fun cameos, is not the best parody of The Bachelor ever—that would be the awesome Burning Love, which is now airing on VH1—but it has great moments, such as at the end when Takei says, “The first gay Bachelor: nope, there’s still not a black one.” View the original article here

Duck Dynasty has become a ratings winner for A&E, and judging by all the products the network now sells—among other things, there’s a board game, cookbook, and brand-new Christmas album—it’s also doing well generating cash outside of advertisements. In a press release announcing the Duck Dynasty seasons 1 to 3 “collector’s set,” out Dec. 3, Lionsgate Home Entertainment said in a press release that it is “the most successful TV-on-DVD franchise of the year, with over 2.5 million copies sold.” But it’s a special Christmas DVD released earlier this month that may be the most blatant attempt to squeeze cash out of their scripted antics. Duck Dynasty: I’m Dreaming of a Redneck Christmas was released Nov. 5, and features “Louisiana’s bearded, camouflaged millionaires gather to celebrate as only they can.” While it’s just under $7, the DVD is actually nothing more than last December’s 44-minute season-two finale, which you can buy for $3. The DVD description does say it’s 50 minutes lo...

Home > Music > Reading and Leeds Festival: Several acts and headliner announced for 2014 December 3rd, 2013 by Martin Lamont. The annual Reading and Leeds festival will make its return in 2014 and earlier tonight several acts were announced for the bill. Not only that though but a main stage headliner was also announced. Reading and Leeds will take place from the 22nd to the 24th of August 2014 with both festivals sharing the same line-up across different days. The team behind Reading and Leeds have been teasing fans for quite some time now with a line-up announcement and the day finally arrived when Zane Lowe released the first batch of names live on BBC Radio 1. Blink-182 were announced as a main stage headliner across the weekend while Jake Bugg, Metronomy, Disclosure, Of Mice & Men, I Am Legion and Wilkinson were also announced with many many more to come.

Luckily for us, Johnson recently spoke out about Lozada’s pregnancy, but what was his reaction? Details inside… Even after Evelyn Lozada and Chad Johnson split, following their domestic dispute where he head-butted her, Johnson has continued to gush about Evelyn, probably in an attempt to win her back. So, it really was no shocker that Johnson didn’t have anything bad to say about Lozada when he was questioned recently about her pregnancy. When TMZ caught up with Johnson recently, he admitted: “I will always love her and wish her nothing but the best,” adding that he is happy for her. But that’s not all, Johnson also explained that he has a special gift fo...

« Kim Kardashian To Receive Warhol Treatment In Portrait Commission ed By Kanye West | Home December 03, 2013 05:30 PM by Stephanie Gustafson Looks like Jenelle Evans is officially off the hook for her monthly child support payments! Until now, the Teen Mom had been shelling out $130 to her mother each month — and with good reason, as Barbara Evans was contributing a lot of time and effort towards caring for little Jace. Now, we can only hope that Jenelle chooses to spend that extra money wisely! It’s nice to see Jenelle Evans turning over a leaf, spending more time with her son and, for the most part, keeping out of trouble. The reality star did make yet another court appearance the other day, but for once, it had nothing to do with violating probation. Instead, as an insider explained to Radar Online, “Mrs. Barbara Evans was in court with her daughter Jenelle, and she agreed to stop having Jenelle pay the child support.” At $130 a month, Jenelle’s child support payments weren’t ex...

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star and her rapper baby daddy were just revealed as two of the newslady’s top ten most intriguing people of the year, and I can already envision their reaction when they heard the big news. I picture them sitting in their hotel room, surrounded by bottles of Cristal, giggling nonstop and congratulating themselves on being the greatest people in the history of human existence. Am I right or am I right? In fairness to them – and to Barbara, since it was her call – Kimye has generated a ton of publicity this year, grabbing headlines and transforming themselves into worldwide household names. I mean seriously, who hasn’t heard of Kim Kardashian ...

In the final visit of the week to Emmerdale on Friday 13 December, it’s the day of Archie’s party, but there’s tension and confusion in the air… Meanwhile, Ashley and Harriet make final preparations for their interviews, and the tension between them is palpable. That morning, Sandy confides in Harriet about the past, and why Ashley wants the job so much… Harriet’s taken aback by what Sandy had to say, and in the church later, a tense Ashley and Harriet sit waiting for their turn to be interviewed, but soon, Jude comes to get Ashley, who looks grimly determined. When Harriet arrives back at Edna’s after her interview, Ashley expects the worst, however, he’s ecstatic to learn he’s got the job, but is it all as it seems?

Bachelor producer Elan Gale’s live-tweeted Thanksgiving day fight with a fellow airplane passenger who may or may not have had cancer was, after all, fiction, a hoax and/or a lie that persisted over several days. After writing that there are “questions unanswered about Diane,” he promised “I will post the photo and hopefully we can resolve all this.” The photo he eventually posted was of an empty chair, and was captioned “Here is Diana sitting in a chair” (“Diana” was an ironic typo). That seems to be pretty clear confirmation that the story was made up, though I suppose it’s possible this is some kind of ironic response to keep the story going and generate more attention. He fueled further speculation by insisting he “did not say it was ‘a big lie.’ (As Time’s James Poniewozik asked, maybe it was a “Small? Medium?” lie?) That a producer of The Bachelor would manufacture drama—especially since he’s done the same in the past, fabricating a blind date last year (he admitted it was fak...

The evil geniuses at Bravo are using a Facebook product to “scan private posts” of “100 million U.S. users, anonymously combining those into useful data about who’s talking about a specific topic,” Variety reports. Note how this new Facebook service uses private posts, not just public ones (although some people don’t seem to know what they share publicly on social media.) Bravo does that during Real Housewives episodes, and then uses that information to create on-screen information for its “social edition” repeats of the same episode, which VP Ellen Stone calls “richer information to keep fans engaged.”All of America’s Got Talent ’s judges, including Howard Stern, will return next season. Phew. The Voice coach Adam Levine has been named People’s Sexiest Man Alive, a designation that just inspires mocking, as if the editors at People have actually considered every living person with a penis. For his part, Adam Levine told the magazine, “I was just amazed and stunned and it almost see...

Microsoft has enlisted two cast members from History’s high-rated series Pawn Stars for its “Scroogled” ad campaign, in which it tries to convince people that Google’s products are bad—because of course, people already know Microsoft products suck. In the 30-second ad (there’s a longer version, too, which is below), Rick Harrison talks to an actor trying to sell a Chromebook (she wants a ticket to Hollywood; perhaps she should audition for American Idol ?). Rick tells her the computer doesn’t work offline or have built-in applications, which he says “means it’s not a real laptop. It doesn’t have Windows or Office.” He repeats that it’s not a “real laptop” later, too. That’s, you know, bullshit, and Techcrunch points out that “as far as Scroogled videos go, this one is at least somewhat funny, even if it’s got a few too many factual errors to be taken seriously.” View the original article here

That CBS’ promotion for upcoming episodes of Survivor have been getting increasingly spoiler-filled and desperate is obvious. However, the preview for Wednesday’s episode essentially reveals every major thing that happens in the episode, but gives away what would have otherwise been a shocking moment that makes Survivor history. The preview—which is not the “next time on Survivor” promo from last week’s episode, but instead one that rat on television during football—immediately shows Jeff Probst revealing the results of the Tribal Council vote. The scene at Tribal Council also shows the jury, briefly but clearly revealing the loser of the Redemption Island duel challenge. Slightly less obvious is the person who is wearing the immunity idol necklace, though by process of elimination and/or freeze-frame that appears to be visible, too. In addition, the preview attempts to conceal the identity of at least two people, but because shirts are visible, it is mostly clear who they are. A Yo...

There were two fatal shootings at separate bars featured on Spike’s Bar Rescue early Saturday, including one that involved the owner of a bar that was to be featured on Sunday’s brand-new episode. Spike pulled the episode but later apologized for failing to pull repeats of the episode. Country singer Wayne Mills was shot dead by Pit and Barrell owner Chris Ferrell, who “told police he shot Mills in self-defense following an argument over Mills smoking in the bar,” The Tennessean reports. Spike apologized for airing the episode; it pulled the original broadcast of the episode, “Music City Mess,” but failed to pull repeats. A statement said, “We apologize to all those affected by the terrible tragedy over the weekend and to Jon Taffer, the production team, and our advertisers for our unfortunate human error.” Bar Rescue Updates has screenshots of the episode, including of a sign at the bar that says “guns are welcome on premises,” and a closing title card that said “Chris has not lost ...

Irene McGee is best known for her 1998 exit from The Real World Seattle : Citing her Lyme disease as the reason, she leaves the show, only to be hit in the face by a fellow cast member, Stephen, as cameras rolled. Now, 15 years later, Irene tells the story of her time on the series—not just of that moment, but of her disaffection with the production, which is the real reason why she left. It’s a must-read essay. First, as to the famous scene began with Irene outing Stephen (he later came out as gay), which she writes is “one of the meanest things I have ever done to another person in my life.” She also says that it “was scarring and shocking, but in a way it was just a precursor to the kind of cruelty and violence that has become a necessary staple of reality television.” Afterwards, Irene writes, “I had terrible nightmares for weeks, seeing a huge hand coming at my face and then staring at the camera crew who did nothing more than film while a female got assaulted in front of them.” ...

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in the states, and it’s a time for us to gorge on food and avoid our families by going to stores in the afternoon, where we can bond with fellow shoppers injuring each other in order to make sure we can get our hands on cheap shit. Oh, the holidays! Seriously, on this gratitude-themed holiday, I’m very grateful for each and every one of you reading these words and reality blurred—both this year and the past 13.5 years—so thanks. Have an amazing holiday weekend. SeaWorld has a float in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade featuring orcas, like the one who killed a trainer and is the subject of the must-watch documentary Blackfish . That hasn’t gone over well with people who’ve seen the documentary. Buzzfeed notes that SeaWorld “certainly wasn’t looking for trouble when it announced on Sept. 24 that SeaWorld would be debuting its first float in the parade,” but since the documentary aired on CNN in October, “Macy’s, now attracting petitions, protests, and cus...

Home > American TV Shows > Keeping up with the Kardashians season 9 spoilers: New super teaser shows engagement, breakups and family time December 3rd, 2013 by Nick Barnes. A MASSIVE new teaser for the forthcoming season of Keeping up with the Kardashians has been unveiled, and it looks like it’s going to be a big season. So much has happened recently and it is all set to be documented on the show, but despite not having a concrete return date yet, it looks like it’s going to be explosive. The Kardashians aired their Christmas special on Sunday evening, which saw them celebrate the festive period in the Kardashian style as they shot their new 2013 Christmas card. The episode was recorded in October, so Christmas really did come early in the Kardashian house. Now, we see the Kardashians as a lively, brash family, but when Keeping up with the Kardashians returns next year, there’s going to be some testing times for the family as a cohort. But, there’s also going to be some reall...

Wednesday’s episode of Survivor was a mix of frustration and awesomeness. Guess who was the source of the frustration, like gravy dribbling off the mashed potatoes and getting all up in the cranberries? (Yes, Jeff Probst.) I was convinced for a long time that Ciera’s confession to Tyson was part of her plan with Caleb and Hayden: make Tyson think he’s safe. And I also felt like if anyone was being played, it was going to be Tyson, but I suppose I was a victim of the editing and last week’s preview, which set up that Tyson was in trouble. (So, too, does next week’s preview.) Up until Tribal, Ciera’s plan seemed to be unraveling, but in fact she remained in a very powerful position the whole time. Even when Hayden and Caleb confronted Tyson, they became the targets by exposing their insecurity. Ciera pointed out that Hayden and Caleb’s desire to flip so fast and so often made them “too sketchy for me to invest in them”; she said, “I don’t want to work with people like that.” So, she he...

The only son of Survivor Australia winner Tina Wesson, and the brother of Survivor Blood vs. Water contestant Katie Collins, died in a car accident this morning, according to a news station. Taylor was 25. Knoxville CBS affiliate reporter Lauren Davis reported on Twitter that the “25 yo son of local Survivor star Tina Wesson dies in car wreck this morning in Chattanooga.” There were no other details, but Davis’ tweet teased a report during the 4 p.m. newscast about his death. Yesterday, Tina referenced him in a tweet, misreading another user’s tweet as being about that person’s five brothers. Tina wrote, “5 brothers! Poor girl, Katie barely survived one!!!” Update: The Knoxville Times Free Press reported that Taylor Lee Collins was in the front passenger seat of “a car that went off the road today and struck the wall of a garage”; he “was ejected from the vehicle before being taken to a local hospital where he then died from the injuries he had received.” View the original article ...

ABC’s Dancing with the Stars was cut from two episodes a week to one for its 17th season, a change that seriously hurt Fox’s So You Think You Can Dance . But improbably for a series that has always skewed old, both in its ratings and presentation, the show has improved significantly this season, and no longer seems like a show most suited to be shown on retirement home rec room televisions. Some of these changes may have been introduced or tried earlier, and I admit that I have not watched every episode of every season, because I get bored easily. Other changes were probably forced or inspired by the shift to one episode a week. But the combination of these seven things is really working: Casting. This season’s group has shaped up to be the best cast in the show’s history. Even when big names and big personalities left early, the show remained strong. Not as much Brooke Burke. Fewer insipid questions, less awkwardness. Win. Not as much bad music . The live band’s mangling of pop so...
