'Mad Men' Star Spill Surprising Teasers About the Rest of Season 6

Sun, 19 May 2013 09:13:00 EDT

Post by Maressa Brown

Even though Joan told Peggy last week, "Everything keeps changing out here, but everything's the same in there," all of the characters on Mad Men have had to face major changes in 1968. One of the biggest, undeniably, has to be the merger between Sterling Draper Cooper Pryce and Cutler Gleason and Chaough. In just the matter of several episodes, the man we knew mostly just as Don's arch rival and Peggy's new boss, Ted Chaough, has gone from a minor annoyance and SDCP competitor to a main character in season 6. Not just that -- he's Don's full-on foil!

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if the actor who plays Ted, Kevin Rahm, has more than a little insight into the rest of season 6. Here, intriguing details he recently spilled to Vulture.com that seem to offer major clues about what's in store for Draper, Chaough, & Co. in the coming weeks ...

Ted's pilot background may be important. Not sure if this will really have any bearing on coming plotlines, but Rahm says as way back as two seasons ago, Ted had "a ten-foot-tall propeller" against the wall of his office and airplane stuff on his desk. But it was never revealed that he was a pilot until this past episode, "Man with a Plan." So either Weiner always knew he was a pilot or they decided to make him one after looking back at the props, but either way -- wow, talk about being detail oriented! Peggy and Ted may not be meant to be. Although there seems to be "a lot of mutual respect," and "they look out for each other," Rahm says, "I don’t know if that always works into a romantic relationship." Maybe Peggy will end up sticking with Abe after all. Ted's tweaked costume design is completely intentional. Remember how he used to wear turtlenecks galore? But more recently he's been dressing more like Don ... That's completely on purpose. "They had me come in at the beginning of the episode in regular black shoes and more of a suit and tie, to look like — you think it’s Jon [Hamm] walking in, and it turns out to be me," Rahm says. Uh-oh -- more proof he's about to fill his former nemesis' shoes at the new firm? The merger may be a disaster. Rahm admits, "It’s not gonna be easy. It can’t be easy, otherwise there’s no show. You need conflict, and I think it’s gonna offer a lot of good conflict at how they work together, how they work it out, how the firm grows."

What do you think lies ahead for Ted, especially when it comes to his relationships with Peggy and Don?

'Game of Thrones: Second Sons' Features a Wedding No One Wants to See Happen (VIDEO)

Sun, 19 May 2013 09:00:00 EDT

Post by Jill Baughman

You're not going to believe what I'm going to say next. You just won't. There are only THREE episodes left in what's been a badass third season of Game of Thrones. We've seen some major moments for Daenerys Targaryen, Jaime Lannister, and Jon Snow, and fans are hoping that the season is going to end on a ridiculously high (yet most likely tragic) note.

On Sunday, "Second Sons" is the leadup to what's going to be one of the craziest episodes ever ("The Rains of Castamere") -- or so readers of A Storm of Swords think. So, what the heck, might as well speculate what we're going to see in "Second Sons," and try to figure out what exactly the title is referring to. This is what Sunday is for, after all. Game of Thrones.

SPOILERS TO COME. If that wasn't obvious enough. If you don't want to know what happens in the book, check out some cat gifs instead. You're welcome.

Well, the synopsis pretty much gives this one away. "King’s Landing hosts a wedding, and Tyrion and Sansa spend the night together." Okay, well, that most likely means that we are going to see Tyrion and Sansa's wedding. Neither is happy about it, as Sansa doesn't want to marry a dwarf and Tyrion doesn't want to marry a "child." Readers know too that Tyrion will refuse to consummate the marriage -- and pretty much the entire kingdom figures it out. Also, Tyrion is Tywin's second son (the title! the title!).

Daenerys will also meet the Titan's Bastard, a sellsword. His name is Mero, and he is the commander of the Second Sons (ah, the title again). Mero and Dany do not get along -- at least in the book. Though I'm wondering why Mero, if that is indeed him, isn't sporting his signature long, red beard?

We also see that Davos is going to want proof that Gendry is the late King Robert's son, and it looks like Melisandre is going to do something very painful to him. Sam and Gilly will be attacked by wights too. Sam manages to kill one with fire, but a group of them approaches Gilly with her newborn son. But they are saved by Coldhands, who looks like a wight, wears the black of the Night's Watch, and rides a huge ass elk. I can't wait to see that!

Arya is now a captive of the Hound, and though their relationship is fraught with tension and she tries to kill him and escape more than once, he does lead her to where her Uncle Edmure is getting married ... and book readers know what happens there!

Not entirely sure what Joffrey's freaking out about, though. Any time Joffrey freaks out, it's probably a good thing.

Here's the trailer for "Second Sons":

Are you looking forward to Tyrion and Sansa's wedding? Think Coldhands will make an appearance?

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart Break Up and This Time It's REAL

Sat, 18 May 2013 20:36:46 EDT

Post by Cynthia Dermody

It's a sad, sad day, everyone!!!! Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have really broken up, you guys!!!! No really. No REALLLY. Do you notice all the soggy tear marks over these sentences?!!! Do you notice all the exclamation points to try to convince you we really believe this latest bit of gossip, and that we're absolutely distraught?!!!! Okay so, no, it's probably just all bullshit again. Or a day that ends in "a-y." Yes, we know we all have a right to be skeptical. But we have to go with this, you know, because it's our duty to the entire Bella and Edward-loving world. We have to be positively wrecked by this news even though these two break up ever other day and it doesn't surprise us in the least.

Yet there is one thing about this recent rumor that makes us wonder if this time it's really, kinda, sorta true, and that's ....

... that People magazine is the one reporting. They tend to have a pretty reliable track record with these types of things. Not like the Enquirer or even Hollywood Life, whose headline on their daily RPatz/KStew post this morning reads:

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart 'Won't Be Breaking Up Anytime Soon Despite Relationship Rut'

Oufff -- talk about opposites day. According to People, "the source" (yes, there appears to be only one), says the beginning of the end happened when Rob blew off Kristen for his 27th birthday party. She had planned a gathering with some friends, but Rob said he wanted to keep it low key and just hang out with some guys. Slam.

The only question remains now is who did the deed. Did she tell him to eff off after such a major diss or did he passive aggressively pull that stunt because he knew it would cause a big fight, making the split up mutual?

Oops ... there we go speculating on details of something that probably isn't real in the first place again. Even the People headline contains the phrase -- For Now ... in it. It's the game, gotta play it.

Honestly, we just can't imagine a world without these two together so they can constantly break up. Things just wouldn't feel right anymore, which is why we pray this news isn't true so we can continue to keep guessing.

Nevertheless, now might be a good time to stop and meditate on this heavy bit of news and try to figure out what it all means. But don't try all that hard, everyone, for tomorrow is a brand new day.

Do you believe this latest rumor?

Rihanna Must Be Furious Over What Chris Brown's Ex-Girlfriend Just Did

Sat, 18 May 2013 14:38:00 EDT

Post by Kiri Blakeley

Somewhere, Rihanna must be gnashing her teeth and wailing. As we know, Rihanna and Chris Brown love to give clues into the status of their relationship and I don't mean they change their Facebook status to "It's Complicated." (Which would be so much more simple and helpful.) No, they do it all over Twitter. Their last exchange reeked of tit-for-tat with Rihanna tweeting after their latest breakup:

Settling is not an option! Nothing less than 100% loyalty, honesty, and respect!! Love ain't for kidz.

Wait a second, wasn't she dating Chris Brown?! Anyway, Chris seemed to respond with, "She's not mine if she's everybody elses." Which isn't quite grammatically correct, but gets the point across. And now here comes some MAJOR fuel to the twit-fire. And it wasn't even Rihanna or Chris who tossed the log on. It was Chris Brown's ex, Karrueche Tran. Yeah, the same one who got dumped for Rihanna.

It was recently Karrueche's birthday so she decided to celebrate by -- what else? -- posting a naked photo of herself on Twitter. Because nothing says "Happy birthday to me" like your birthday suit shared with thousands (nay millions) of strangers.

Brown and Karrueche celebrated her birthday together last year, before he broke up with Rihanna. Has it really only been a year since Chris and RiRi reunited? Seems like a century.

Anyway, back to Karrueche's nakedness. She posted a photo of her naked ass thrust into Chris Brown's face and wrote:

TBT my birthday last year. Who's face am I gonna put my ass in this year? Lmao I'm kidding. instagram.com/p/ZYzODQGTrP/

— Karrueche Tran (@karrueche) May 16, 2013

The lack of class quickly got Chris's attention and he tweeted back "Happy birthday." Now you very well know this photo was shared with the world for the sole benefit of Rihanna seeing it. I'm a girl. I understand these things.

A source says that when Karrueche isn't trying to make Rihanna jealous she is apparently "kicking it" with Chris. A source told Hollywood Life:

He’s been initiating contact with her, not the other way around. I wouldn’t say Karrueche and Chris are together but they are talking and kicking it.

Ah, if only that meant both Karrueche and Rihanna were kicking Chris to the curb. But I don't think it does. As for love triangles, it's not exactly Casablanca, but I guess that's as close as Twitter gets.

Do you think Karrueche was just trying to make Rihanna jealous?

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez Might Be Back Together in a BIG Way

Sat, 18 May 2013 10:06:00 EDT

Post by Kiri Blakeley

It really gets exhausting trying to figure out if Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are a couple or not. It's so confusing! No wonder I'm not sleeping well. First, we thought they were done with each other forever -- Selena made the media rounds touting her single status and even told David Letterman she had made Bieber cry. So sad! But THEN. Justin tweeted a pic of the two of them together, with Selena asking him to "come cuddle" because he'd been working on music too long. AWWW. They're baaaaack. But THEN. They broke up again, cause Selena told a radio station she was definitely single and "available in every way." But NOW. It appears these two on-off luvahs are going to be sitting together at Sunday night's Billboard Awards. GAH!

TMZ has got the proof, my friends. A picture of the seating chart with Justin and Selena's faces plastered on their respective seats. And they're right next to each other!

Well, okay. There's an empty seat between them. But there's an empty row between everyone. So maybe that's just go give people more space.

TMZ reports that this isn't an accident or a joke (that'd be a funny one, eh?). Nope, apparently stars can request where they sit, so Jelena must have requested each other.

Hey, these kids aren't famous for nothing. They know how to work the media and the public. They knew we'd all be watching to see if they would be seated near each other, and whether they'd be throwing each flirty glances or looks that could kill or both.

They're pulling a Rihanna/Chris Brown. No one was quite sure of their status and yet they kept drawing out their maybe-they-are-maybe-they're-not relationship in front of the public. And then they sat together at the Grammy Awards and everyone knew.

But then RiRi and Chris broke up.

So don't be surprised if this public reunion between Jelena doesn't last very long. I think they've figured out it's better to keep people guessing. And it certainly guarantees all eyes are on them. Just how they like it.

Do you think they're back together or this is just a publicity stunt?

Will the 'Real Housewives' Divorce Curse Claim Another Couple? (VIDEO)

Fri, 17 May 2013 17:45:00 EDT

Post by Lindsay Mannering

On this week's episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County, we were afforded a peek inside Heather and Terry DuBrow's marriage. During a wine tasting in Malibu, their conversation about the D-word was a real, emotional, and raw moment that we rarely get to see on reality TV anymore. Even Vicki Gunvalson, the last person you'd ever think would give good love life advice, had honest and sage words to share.

I was pretty blown away by the conversation, if only because it seemed so unfiltered. Even though I'm sure that prior to the breakfast, Heather and Terry agreed they'd air some of their divorce drama on TV, it still doesn't take away any of its authenticity. They talked about a real fight that hurt, and is possibly still hurting, their marriage.

Heather has every right to be upset that Terry would throw around the D-word so casually, and he seems to regret it and understand how detrimental that can be to the relationship. When both Vicki and Tamra admitted "divorce" was a word they used all too often in their own marriages, which both ultimately ended in divorce, it was a poignant reminder of the word's power.

It would be surprising if Heather and Terry decided to split -- they seem to be able to have really open and honest discussions about their feelings, a saving grace if ever there was one. Even if they do have those talks on camera. In front of millions of viewers. When they're being paid as a couple to star on the show. Still counts!

Do you think Heather and Terry will get a divorce?

'RHOOC's Vicki Gunvalson Is Setting Herself Up for a Big Heartbreak

Fri, 17 May 2013 15:28:00 EDT

Post by Lindsay Mannering

I thought for sure that Real Housewives of Orange County star Vicki Gunvalson would finally come to her senses this season and dump that prick Brooks Ayers, but no such luck. The 52-year-old reality star told Life & Style that she and her deadbeat Mississippi boyfriend are still together, despite continued protests from her 26-year-old daughter Brianna and Brianna's military husband, Ryan.

Vicki told the magazine:

I’ve got different pockets in my life. I’ve got my daughter and Brooks. He’s got his own place. So I go to his house, and we’ll watch a movie, or we go out. I’m not forcing Briana to spend time with him.

Vicki, my dear. If you have to separate your loves into pockets, isn't that a bad sign?

Clearly Vick's not one for noticing red flags. She's ignored the fact that he's a deadbeat dad who can't pay his child support; she's ignored the fact that he has a proven history of manipulating women across the nation in order to get to their money; she's ignored the fact that 20/20 profiled him as a scoundrel out to take advantage of kind women; and she's ignored the fact that every single person in her life (including the fans!) hates him.

It seems that nothing will change her mind about Brooks, which is too bad. She'll just have to learn the hard way, because rest assured, this dude is, as her daughter points out, an opportunist looking to cash in on Vicki's fame, money, low self-esteem, and loneliness.

Absolutely nobody, except Vicki, will be surprised by the magazine covers in a few months that will inevitably describe how Brooks has been stealing from her bank account, has purchased luxury items on her credit cards, has lied, cheated ... etc. It's only a matter of time.

You guys. I miss Don.

What do you think Vicki sees in Brooks?!

Farrah Abraham and Jenelle Evans' 'Teen Mom' Spin-Off Sounds Too Scandalous for TV

Fri, 17 May 2013 13:25:00 EDT

Post by Emily Abbate

To say that there's been a whole ruckus of drama in the Teen Mom world within the last few weeks is a solid understatement. Between the Farrah Abraham sex tape and Jenelle Evans' cocaine arrest -- these girls know how to really stir up trouble. MTV knows this, which is why they are exploring a way to harness the trouble for their own benefit with a Teen Mom spin-off. And not just any spin-off, either. A spin-off that's going to expose the REAL girls behind all the hoopla.

An insider told Radar Online that MTV is exploring the possibility of having a Big Brother-type spin-off involving Jenelle and Farrah and their mothers. "Network executives are exploring having the Teen Mom stars live in a house with their mothers for a week, or more, all while cameras roll." Oh, and get this -- they'd be joined by a relationship counselor and a psychiatrist.

Oh dear lord.

Getting to watch Farrah and Jenelle housed up in one home together would be entertaining enough. But THEN, adding their mothers into the mix makes this a whole different beast. We've seen the drama that unfolded between Farrah and her mother after the sex tape came to be, and the apology letter that followed. I just can't even imagine what kind of dynamic would occur when combining THAT relationship with Jenelle and her mom's.

Well actually, I sort of can. After all this porn drama, there's no doubt in my mind Farrah's ego is bursting. I could totally imagine Farrah channeling Courtney Stodden's off-her-rocker tendencies, walking around with her lips pursed and heels on. Not the kind of prissy bull that I think Jenelle would be up for.

Heck, remember when Jenelle posted those sexy bikini photos RIGHT after the tape came out? The both of them just adore constant attention. Something tells me it'd just be a WHOLE lot of fierceness competing. With the addition of counseling, I'm sure a lot of great material would come outta this.

Would you want to watch a Farrah and Jenelle spin-off?

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's 'Separate Lives' Must Mean the End Is Near

Fri, 17 May 2013 12:12:00 EDT

Post by Mary Fischer

Look out, people -- there may be trouble in paradise for everyone's favorite vampire couple. (For real this time.) Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's rocky relationship seems to be getting a whole lot rockier, especially considering the two of them aren't really spending much time together these days.

Even though a source told E! News that they're "crazy in love" and "are absolutely still together but are having some difficulties right now," you know how the old saying goes. Actions speak louder than words.

The source added, "He's been hanging out with the boys a lot, and she's been with her girlfriends. They seem to be living separate lives at the moment, I haven't seen her around at all."

Separate lives, huh? Yeah, that's never a good thing. Usually when couples are really in love and thinking about taking things to the next level, they can't bear to be away from each other -- and it's their other friendships that suffer, not their own relationship. Yes, it's normal for Rob to want to hang with the boys and Kristen to want some girl time, but if what this source says is true and they really aren't together much at all these days -- it certainly doesn't bode well for their future.

Honestly, it almost seems like they're forcing themselves to remain a couple or something. It's like they want to prove everyone who assumes they're eventually going to break up wrong by dragging this thing out as far as it will go. Oh come on, how many "bumps in the road" can a couple have before they wake up and realize it's probably just not meant to be?

And maybe Kristen having time with the girls and Rob chilling with his boys is exactly what they need to realize they just might be better off apart then they are together. Sure, Robsten was great while it lasted, but nobody is gonna die if these two don't wind up together for the long haul.

Although I'm sure more than a few Twihards will be traumatized for the rest of their lives.

Do you think Rob and Kristen are headed for a breakup?

'The Office' Season Finale: 7 Moments No Fan Should Miss

Fri, 17 May 2013 11:44:00 EDT

Post by Linda Sharps

I haven't watched The Office for the last couple years, but I had to tune in for the series finale last night. Even though it's been a while since I was truly invested in the Dunder Mifflin Paper Co., I was curious as to how they'd wrap things up after nine seasons. As NBC described it, "Months after the airing of the documentary, the workers of Dunder Mifflin, past and present, gather for a wedding and a final round of interviews. Mysteries are solved, hatchets are buried, pranks are prunked [sic]."

Like most Office episodes that happened after the superior (in my opinion) Jim and Pam Will-They-or-Won't-They Years, this one had moments that fell a little flat, or dragged on a little too long. Storylines were resolved right and left, but mostly it was a nostalgic reunion within a reunion ... and standing out among the occasional feeling of "meh" there were plenty of wonderful, pitch-perfect scenes.

A few of my favorites:

1) Toby's sad confession during the cast reunion Q&A, when a member of the audience asked, "Do you find your life pointless now, now that nobody is filming you?" Toby, instantly: "Yes."

2) The moment when everyone watched Andy Bernard's Cornell speech, when he redeemed himself for becoming a tragic viral sensation for his failed audition tape for America's Next A Cappella Sensation

3) Erin being reunited with her birth parents, played by Joan Cusack and Ed Begley Jr. (Should've been SO CHEESY, somehow wasn't.)

4) Andy's heartbreaking line: "I wish there was a way to know you were in the good old days before you've actually left them."

5) Ditto to this from Jim: "Even if I didn't love every minute of it, everything I have I owe to this job. This stupid, wonderful, boring, amazing job."

6) The final thoughts voiced to the camera by Pam: "There's a lot of beauty in ordinary things. Isn't that the point?"

And, of course, 7) the best moment of the entire episode -- when Steve Carell returned as Michael Scott. I was legitimately surprised and delighted, and the writers took an already fantastic moment and elevated it to platinum status with the following exchange:

I can't believe you came! -- Dwight

That's what she said. -- Michael

All in all, I feel like they did a really nice job with the finale. If it was imperfect and occasionally sprawled into dumb territory (Kellie and Ryan? So many ughs for that storyline), well, I think the good moments outweighed the bad. Michael summed it up with one of his trademark heartfelt/creepy lines, delivered while choking back tears:

I feel like all my kids grew up and then they married each other. It's every parent's dream.

What did you think of The Office finale?

'American Idol' Winner Candice Glover Will Give You Chills in These 5 Amazing Clips (VIDEOS)

Fri, 17 May 2013 11:03:00 EDT

Post by Emily Abbate

It's official: Candice Glover has won American Idol season 12. The 23-year-old who's been singing since age 4 took home the title on last night's finale, getting a standing ovation for her performance of "I Who Have Nothing" by Ben E. King. The best part of all this? Glover made it to the final round TWICE in previous seasons but never made it to the top 20. Hello, revenge!

It's exciting, but I just feel kind of bad for Candice. This season of Idol has been notably, well, a stinker. There have been rumors of a complete judging shakeup for season 13, Nicki Minaj is just straight up off her rocker, and as opposed to seasons past when there's been LOADS of buzz, I couldn't tell you ANYTHING about any of the contestants from this time around. Heck, I hardly heard anything about the finale until the day of.

With that said, this doesn't make Candice any less of a winner. Take a look at what you've most likely been missing with 5 of Candice Glover's best performances, here:

5. "Emotion" by Samantha Sang:

4. "One" by U2:

3. "Somewhere" from the musical West Side Story:

Ian Somerhalder Is Christian Grey When He and Nina Dobrev Get 'Back Together'

Fri, 17 May 2013 08:51:00 EDT

Post by Nicole Fabian-Weber

Former lovahs Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev attended their first public event together since their tragic breakup a few weeks ago. The actors were both at The CW Upfront in New York for The Vampire Diaries, and according to sources, the pair couldn't have been more lovely and cordial to each other.

And somehow, I don't know, Ian has just gotten a little hotter.

Few things can be more awkward than having to deal with an ex in public shortly after a breakup. But for celebs, it's part of the job. Some of them don't handle it well (*cough*Taylor Swift*cough*), but others? Others manage to keep it as profesh as possible. And that right there is class, my friends. And that's also why Ian is the perfect Christian Grey.

In order to play Christian, one ought to have a few things: Looks, obvs. But beyond that, it would be nice to see an actor who's somewhat intelligent, and who has charisma and class. Ian clearly has all those things. We've always known that, but when a dude and a lady can remain genuine friends after a breakup, you know he's a catch. (For someone else.)

Only time will tell who the real Christian is, but my vote's for Ian. Sure, Matt Bomer's a good-looking dude, but the real question is: Is he friends with his exes?

Who do you want to see play Christian?

Celebrity Says Incredibly Nasty Things About Farrah Abraham, Then Gets Attacked for It

Fri, 17 May 2013 08:00:00 EDT

Post by Nicole Fabian-Weber

Farrah Abraham is all the rage these days, so naturally, celebs are weighing in on what they think of the Teen Mom and her blossoming career as an "accidental" adult film star. John Legend's fiance, Chrissy Teigan, is one of those people. Teigan wrote on her Twitter: "Farrah Abraham now thinks she is pregnant from her sex tape. In other news you're a whore and everyone hates you. Whoops not other news, sorry."

Bold, right? And to be totally forthcoming, probably what a lot of other people are thinking. But there was backlash against Teigan -- crazy backlash. But Chrissy fought back. Hard.

After being attacked on her Twitter page, Teigan wrote: "Wow. Amazed to see the outrage behind calling a staged leaked sex tape chick from Teen Mom exactly what she is. Go on with your bad selves." And she didn't stop there. Teigan then continued: "Ok, so what I have learned today is slut shaming is a thing like bullying. Do NOT bully sluts, guys. We have a real problem here. People are really defending backdoor teem mom hardcore porn ... Are we really gonna pretend like this girl just had an accidentally leaked sex tape? Seriously?? What the f--k is wrong with you?"

You've gotta give it to the woman. She clearly says what she thinks, and makes no apologies about it. I think people in the spotlight often feel like they need to backtrack or issue a professional statement after getting attacked on social media and beyond. I find it really refreshing to see someone who's standing their ground, and not kissing the public's ass.

It's true, the word "whore" isn't the nicest in the dictionary. So perhaps Chrissy could have chosen something else. But I really don't see how anyone can disagree with her general sentiment. Farrah Abraham is getting very wealthy off of having sex with a porn star and trying to make it seem like it was a leaked sex tape. That's f*cked up! Why someone would want to defend that is beyond me.

Chrissy, for PC's sake, I guess you could have said something like, "You're disgusting and everyone hates you," but I'm with you, girl. I've got your back.

What do you think of what Chrissy Teigan said?

'The Vampire Diaries' Recap: The Gang Does Something You'll Never See Coming

Thu, 16 May 2013 23:46:00 EDT

Post by Denise Tomm

After three long years of bizarre deaths, vampires, werewolves, rebirths, ghosts, and doppelgangers, the gang of Mystic Falls finally gets to do something normal -- graduate high school!

Tonight's episode of The Vampire Diaries wrapped up some of the season's biggest mysteries, like who will Elena choose now that she has her humanity back? Is Bonnie really dead? Will anyone ever take the cure? Is Silas no longer a problem?

And even though we finally got the answers we were looking for, in true season finale fashion, there were a few cliffhangers that will leave us guessing until the fall!

Needless to say, SPOILERS ahead!

There were so many things that happened in this episode, I don't even know where to begin!

First off, I will say that I am and always will be a die hard Stelena fan and I just can't see her with anyone but Stefan. So needless to say, when she declared her love for Damon, I was less than pleased. Yes, we can finally move away from the "who will she choose" debate, but I could have waited a little longer if it meant she would finally come to her senses!!! Stefan is obviously her soul mate and I firmly believe that she will regret her decision.

Second, we have spent this entire season focused on getting the elusive cure and assuming that Elena would be the one to take it. Well you know what they say about assuming, and damn was I blown away! Katherine is the one to get a second chance at a normal human life. Again, WHAT?!?! If Elena wasn't going to take the cure, then it should have gone to Rebekah because she is the only one who really truly wanted a chance at a regular existence. A waste of a perfectly good cure if you ask me.

Third, Bonnie is actually dead and Jeremy is alive again? Huh? I swear, no one in this show ever remains dead!!! How are we supposed to keep up with this? The only person who we haven't seen come back from the dead as a ghost or what have you is Aunt Jenna. Is anyone else wondering why we never get to see her?

And last but not least, when I thought I had taken all Mystic Falls could dish out, we come to find out that Stefan is Silas' doppelganger? Now that is really something I did not see coming!!!

Were you happy with the finale? What do you think is in store for the residents of Mystic Falls next season?

Awesome 'Bridezillas' Sneak Peek Reveals Craziest Brides of All Time (VIDEO)

Thu, 16 May 2013 19:04:00 EDT

Post by Ericka Sóuter

After 9 years of Bridezillas, I figured I had seen it all. Who could forget Candice's church-steps brawl, Megan's boozy, epic breakdown, or Vanessa, who treated her future in-laws like lepers. These were the most overly dramatic and insane brides in the history of marriage -- or so I thought. Turns out WE tv has been saving the best for last. In the 10th and final season of Bridezillas, you will meet the scariest women of all time. Check out The Stir's exclusive sneak peak of the madness:

They swear like sailors, yell at mothers, destroy reception buffets, get into brawl with bridesmaids, and much, much more. It's too crazy to miss. Take a look.

Amazing grown women would act like this, right? Especially on what is supposed to be the happiest day of their lives. It's sheer madness and we love every minute!

Were you a bridezilla? What's the most outrageous thing you've seen a bride do?

Another 'Teen Mom' Star's Long Rap Sheet Makes Jenelle Evans Look Like a Saint

Thu, 16 May 2013 15:55:00 EDT

Post by Jeanne Sager

Pop quiz time, Teen Mom fans. Which teen parent racked up the most arrests of anyone on the show? Here's a hint: it's not Jenelle Evans. And since we're talking teen parents, you can't count Tyler Baltierra's dad Butch in there either.

Go ahead ... take your time.

Did you guess Adam Lind? Aka father of Chelsea Houska's daughter Aubree?

The 21-year-old reality star is currently in jail, serving out a 90-day stint for driving under the influence and driving with a suspended license. He's allowed out to go to work, but that's it. And according to details dug up by Sean Daly and Ashley Majeski, authors of the new book, Teen Mom Confidential: Secrets and Scandals From MTV's Most Controversial Shows, this isn't Lind's first brush with the law. Far from it.

In the past years, Chelsea's ex has been arrested ... wait for it ... 35 times!

And here we could only come up with nine mugshots for Jenelle, including her latest pop for alleged heroin possession. Home girl might not be the most mixed up parent in the bunch after all!

How Adam has evaded serious jailtime before now is anyone's guess, especially considering there were several times when a judge suspended jail sentences, provided he kept his nose clean ... only for him to go out and re-offend not much later.

Most of the offenses are related to driving and/or alcohol, but the way Adam has dealt with many turned them into something more serious. Take a speeding offense in June 2008. He was clocked going 89 mph in a 55 mph zone at 2 a.m. But then to make matters worse, Adam didn't bother showing up for his scheduled court date!

Let me just say it again: Chelsea is so much better off without this guy!

Were you surprised to hear Adam had been arrested more than Jenelle? Who did you think it would be?

Kim Kardashian Must Be So Embarrassed After Kanye West’s Latest Public Tantrum (VIDEO)

Thu, 16 May 2013 15:51:00 EDT

Post by Kiri Blakeley

Kanye West just can't help himself. He's got to rant about everything. Instead of being grateful for all that he has -- fame, riches, a career that he's passionate about, a woman that he apparently loves madly, a new baby on the way -- he's got to find something to gripe about. So he falls on that old celebrity bogeyman, the paparazzi. Kanye took to the stage at a recent gig and let rip on the paps and how they're making his life hell.

He was videotaped ranting:

I don't know if you know there's one thing about me, but I'm not a celebrity. I don't know if you know there's one thing about me, but I'm a terrible, terrible celebrity. I don't know if you know there's one thing about me, but I'm the worst kind of celebrity ... Because I only make real music ... I'm only up in the studio to make real sh-t ... I don't want nobody coming up to me with cameras and sh-t ... Selling pictures to a f--king magazine ... Asking me dumb f--king questions ... Because I'm not a motherf--king celebrity ... I only make music that inspires you to be the best you can be -- and I don't want anyone to ask anything else of me.

He also talked about refusing to do a Saturday Night Live skit that would poke fun of his many pap melees, the most recent one finding him storming out of a restaurant to tell a pap, "Stop taking f***ing pictures!" You might as well tell the sun to stop shining.

Anyway, methinks Kanye doth protest too much. Does a man who stage bombs Taylor Swift not want attention? Does a man who impregnates and presumably will marry Kim Kardashian not want attention? She makes her living BEING FOLLOWED BY CAMERAS.

Additionally, Kim has said that Kanye "loves" the whole reality show thing. An ex-girlfriend of Kanye's said that Kim "fits into his brand."

The man could have made tons of anonymous women his girlfriend. He chose Kim. You can help who you fall for. Or at least you can certainly help not getting that person pregnant.

Please, Kanye. You're not only a terrible celebrity, you're a terrible liar.

Do you think Kanye West REALLY hates the paps?

‘Real Housewife’ Almost Dies During Weekend Getaway

Thu, 16 May 2013 14:57:00 EDT

Post by Lindsay Mannering

Are you sitting? Jill Zarin almost died, you guys. Died. A "source" told Naughty but Nice Rob that the former Real Housewives of New York cast member was kayaking in the Hamptons over the weekend and got caught in a current. The "source" continued that Jill was in such peril that she had to fight for her life. When Jill was asked to comment, she confirmed the story, but refused to give any more details, seeing as she just got through telling the story, because she's obviously the "source."

Here's what "a friend of Jill's" said:

While Kayaking in the Hampton’s, Jill found herself caught in a very strong current and started to panic. Thankfully she managed to calm down and stop fighting the current allowing it to bring her back towards the shore. It was terrifying, she had to fight for her life.

What friend calls up a gossip blogger and is like, OMG, Jill Zarin went kayaking this weekend and, you'll never guess, but everything turned out FINE. I mean, what kind of story is this?! Clearly Jill's the one doing the talking. Also, if the friend witnessed it (someone had to take this picture!), why didn't they call 911 for help or something? Why would they leave that part out of the story?

So, safely assuming Ms. Zarin's behind the leak, I think we can also infer that she's trying to send a thinly-veiled, very passive-aggressive message to Bravo and to the other Housewives that she was in tough water, you guys, but decided to go with the flow, and she's totally better for it.

I bet she thinks she's being so coy.

I may be giving Jill too much credit here, thinking she'd be capable of using the press to spread her metaphor, but I'm apt to believe this woman will stop at nothing to get her name in the news.

Can't wait to see what ridiculous stunt she pulls next. I mean, now that the RHONY are set to begin filming, I'm sure Zarin's plotting all kinds of reasons to get attention. Perhaps a pregnancy is in order?

A "life-threatening" pregnancy, of course.

What do you think of Jill's "near-death" experience?

P. Diddy Joins ‘Downton Abbey’ and Gives the Crawleys a Run for Their Money (VIDEO)

Thu, 16 May 2013 14:15:00 EDT

Post by Jill Baughman

Hey all you Downton Abbey fans! This is the funniest thing you're going to see all day. News has come out recently that Downton Abbey just cast its first recurring black character, Gary Carr. Little did we know, however, that that information is totally and completely false. The first black character ever to have a recurring role on Downton is none other than P. Diddy! Obviously! And he's the best damn addition to the Downton Abbey cast I've ever seen, thanks to Funny or Die.

P. Diddy stars as Lord Wolcott in what he refers to as "Downtown Abbey." Somehow we just never managed to notice him in some of the series' most iconic, memorable scenes. But P. Diddy has done us a solid by giving us a Downton highlight reel that will put all other Downton highlight reels to shame. Check it out.

Warning ... there's some NSFW language. It's P. Diddy, after all.

Downton Diddy from Sean Combs

Damn ... I wish that was how I could send my emails.

There's not much more to say about this one, so here are the best lines that will soon become Downton classics:

"Ohhh, dat was a little bitchy."

"You keepin' these hoes in check around here."

"Everybody welcome to the first ever white party!"

"I knew you could walk!"

"You, my good man, are a wonderful doctor ... You ain't shit."

"This world war is so dreadful. I pray there's not a World War II."

"Now, I want you two to kiss in front of me, and I want you to use your tongues. Yeah."

"Here I am. In between these two white people."

I'd say P. Diddy fits right into the Crawley family, wouldn't you? He'd definitely be able to keep up with the Dowager Countess and her snappy one-liners. Jeez, not sure why they didn't think of this before. His announcement on Twitter that he was joining the cast may not have been entirely true, but still, Gary Carr certainly has a lot to live up to.

I guess the most pertinent question after all this is: When are they going to cast an Asian person??

Cheers to all you other Abbey-heads! What did you think of the first black cast member of Downton Abbey?

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart’s ‘Blow-Out Fight’ May Not Have Been What It Seemed

Thu, 16 May 2013 13:33:00 EDT

Post by Nicole Fabian-Weber

Looks like there's trouble in paradise for Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart -- yet again. (Or is there?!) The couple reportedly got into a huge, blowout fight on Rob's 27th birthday a few days ago, and the result wasn't pretty. Kristen apparently had plans to spend a carefree day with Rob, swimming and doing rich people stuff, but instead wound up whiling away the hours pacing around like a lunatic and chain smoking cigarettes. Festive!

Now, before we all get our pantalones in a twist, let's take comfort in the fact that all of this info is coming from a "source". And this "source" isn't even 100 percent positive that Rob was the person KStew was on the phone with. A supposed onlooker of the situation said: "Kristen was pacing back-and-forth in her friend’s apartment, smoking. She looked really upset, talking on the phone for almost an hour -- I’m guessing she was talking to Rob. She was really animated, like she was trying to explain something. She was getting frustrated and seemed very emotional."

Okay, so for all we know, Kristen could have been on the phone with her agent or manager or the Thai restaurant she ordered from two hours ago, but the fact that she was having a heated discussion with someone on Rob's birthday -- instead of hanging with Rob -- is kind of a bummer. And hey, maybe she was just feeling ... really animated that day. She certainly could have been on the phone with Rob, but maybe it wasn't an argument at all. Maybe it was a political debate?

Hopefully, if she did have a fight with Rob, it was over something dumb and it's since blown over. They really seem to be "on" right now, guys. Let's hope it lasts!

Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick Are Partly to Blame for Magazine's ‘Mason’s Not Your Son’ Cover

Thu, 16 May 2013 12:05:00 EDT

Post by Nicole Fabian-Weber

There's a new tabloid out that, shockingly, features the Kardashians on the cover. But this cover is a little different in that it has a photo of Kourtney holding her son, Mason, along with the headline: "Mason's Not Your Son!" The magazine is Star, and the headline is obviously directed at Mason's (supposed?) father, Scott Disick.

Now, I'm sure this cover will sell a million and one copies, but here's something to keep in mind: Mason is going to be able to read one day. Would you want your kid seeing this?

The Kardashians put their lives out there for all to see, so you can't really fault a rag mag for running this type of story. But it's messed up nonetheless. One day Mason and Penelope are going to grow up and be able to read all the horrendous things that were written about their family. And more so, they're going to be able to see some terrible things from episodes of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

If you're a fan of the show, you've probably seen the infamous episodes where Scott is out of control drunk. And the episodes where he and Kourtney have blow-out fights. Those things are all well and good for reality TV, but when the people involved have children -- it's a terrible, terrible idea. Who would want to see their father piss drunk, shirtless, and trying to start fights?

The Kardashians are definitely a guilty pleasure of mine, but I do think it may be time for Kourtney, Scott, and now even Kim to scale back a bit -- or at least keep it classy on camera. Regardless of what you think of them, they clearly love their children very much, and I think they'd agree that having crap like this out there about themselves is in no way going to benefit the kids.

What do you think of the Star magazine cover?

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson May Have Had Terrible Fight on His Birthday After He Got Totally Drunk

Thu, 16 May 2013 11:00:00 EDT

Post by Adriana Velez

Weren't you looking forward to hearing about how much hand-holding and special moment-sharing Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson did together on his birthday? Well forget it. Those two did not cooperate with our wishes. Instead, it looks like Kristen and Rob got into a big, fat fight -- maybe because Rob got drunk as a skunk.

Here Kristen had all these adorably sweet plans for Rob, but then they ended up spending the day apart. In fact, a photog/stalker supposedly caught Kristen looking "agitated and visibly upset," talking on the phone and pacing all over her friend's house. As for Rob, he was seen getting tanked the other night, so people who speculate for a living are speculating that she's mad at him for that.

As an aside? I'd just like to tell the paparazzi that you really needn't go through all that trouble of taking photographs of Kristen inside someone's damn house. Really. It's creepy and even if you're a Twimillionaire, you deserve to freak out in privacy somewhere.

Anyhoo!

Whatever Kristen was upset about, it's pretty clear that she and Rob did not spend his birthday together. Is this the beginning of the end? Or just a little fight? Maybe Rob wants out of his fake relationship contract early. (Oh sorry, I wasn't going to bring that up again.)

I don't know. My spidey senses are telling me this Twilight romance is winding down. I just get the feeling she's doing all the work to keep it going, and he's kind of like ... eh. So Kristen, it's time to pull up the stakes and move on. Read the writing on the wall. Um ... I'm sure I could throw up a few more cliches, but you know what I'm saying. UNLESS! That rumor about the two buying a romantic home in Idaho together is true? Yeah ... probably not.

Do you think Rob and Kristen are breaking up, or is this just a little tiff?

'Bachelorette' Desiree Hartsock's Search for Love May Not End the Way We're Hoping (SPOILERS)

Thu, 16 May 2013 10:50:00 EDT

Post by Mary Fischer

With only a couple weeks to go before the premiere of The Bachelorette, it's pretty safe to assume that Desiree Hartsock has finally found her prince and is engaged and ready to live happily ever after and all that bullsh&* good stuff.

I mean, who wouldn't want to marry Des? She's cute. She's super sweet. And she's outdoorsy and fun and has all kinds of other desirable qualities that most dudes find appealing in a wife.

Surely one of the 25 men on her season had to sweep her off her feet, right?

Maybe, maybe not.

*Warning: SPOILERS AHEAD*

Based on some recent comments Desiree made about her journey as The Bachelorette -- it sounds like there's a chance she may have walked away from the final rose ceremony without a ring on her finger or groom-to-be.

On a press call yesterday, USA Today reports that Des said, "Overall, the experience was definitely an emotional journey. There were a lot of surprises. Overall, I think it's a journey of love, and love isn't always going to be happy. There's going to be ups and downs."

(Hmm. Interesting.)

And when asked about whether or not she found love, Des added, "The journey was incredibly emotional and it was really surprising throughout, so unfortunately I can't comment on that at this time. I'm glad that I did decide to do the show. I'm satisfied with my decisions throughout so I feel like I stayed true to myself."

Ummmmm, maybe I'm reading between the lines a little too much, but she doesn't sound like a woman who's blissfully in love to me.

If she truly has found "the one," don't you think she'd be a little more ... gushy and unable to contain her excitement, or something to that effect? Yes, I realize she can't spill the beans on what happens at the end of the show, but plenty of past Bachelors and Bachelorettes have at least said that they found love, are happy, or a combination of both.

Of course, there's always the chance that Des is a lot sneaker than we imagined, and she made those vague comments to throw us off track and make us believe she won't get her happy ending -- so we'll be surprised and all.

Guess we'll just have to wait and see how it all turns out when the final rose ceremony airs. (Or sooner if Reality Steve clues us in.)

Do you think Desiree is engaged?
