  • Chelsea Manning Can No Longer Be Referred To With Male Pronouns, Says Court Order

    Chelsea Manning, formerly known as Bradley Manning, has won the right to “she” and “her”.

    In a court order issued on Wednesday, it was made adamantly clear that henceforth, Chelsea Manning must be referred to in female or gender-neutral terms.

    The court order stated, “All future formal papers filed before this court and all future orders and decisions issued by this court shall either be neutral, eg Private First Class Manning or appellant, or employ a feminine pronoun.”

    However, Chelsea Manning will remain “Bradley Manning”, or “he” and “him”, for the previous legal proceedings before his/her transition.

    Chase Strangio, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union, which was involved in Manning’s defense, said, “The court rightly recognized that dignifying Chelsea’s womanhood is not the trivial matter that the government attempted to frame it as.”

    Chelsea Manning, who was convicted in 2013 of handing over more than 700,000 classified documents to WikiLeaks, has already won the right to the name change, the hormone therapy for her transition, and even women’s underwear.

    “This is an important distinction for Chelsea, both personally and legally,” Chelsea Manning’s attorney, Nancy Hollander, told People. “But it’s most important on a personal level.”

    “You would not like being a called a man,” Hollander said to a female journalist. “And neither does she.”

    Despite all of her victories, Chelsea Manning hasn’t won the right to live in female quarters where she is imprisoned at Ft. Leavenworth, Hollander said. But it seems Chelsea Manning won’t fight that.

    Hollander said of Chelsea Manning, “She is housed with male prisoners, and will continue to be housed with them.”

    She added, “She has no problems with her fellow prisoners. She is doing well. As well as one can when in prison.”

    What do you think of Chelsea Manning’s unprecedented gender transition in military prison and her subsequent victories?

  • Ellie Kemper Is “Delightful” Says Tina Fey

    Ellie Kemper Is “Delightful” Says Tina Fey

    Ellie Kemper is in full-swing filming now for her new series, created by Tina Fey, called The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

    As Kimmy Schmidt, Ellie Kemper is a young woman who lives for 15 years in a bunker with three other women who were part of a cult.

    They all think that they survived the apocalypse alone.

    When the four women are rescued, of course they go on to do a circuit of talk shows. After the round of talk shows, Ellie Kemper’s character, Kimmy Schmidt, decides to stay in New York City and make it on her own, using only the limited amount of life experience she had in the bunker.

    Ellie Kemper looks awesome in this role, and Tina Fey couldn’t be happier to work with Kemper as her leading lady.

    “She’s just delightful,” Fey told People of Ellie Kemper. “She is so intelligent and energetic and adorable.”

    Tina Fey added, “I think she is so likable and warm and skilled that I hope people really enjoy watching her”

    What sweet words about Ellie Kemper!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2pFXw6_J7M

    Ellie Kemper was excited to work with Tina Fey, as well. After making a name for herself on The Office, The Mindy Project, and Bridesmaids, Ellie Kemper was ready to have her own show.

    And Ellie Kemper was more than ready to work with a woman that she admires very much.

    “I was very excited,” Ellie Kemper admitted about their first meeting about The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. “She’s Tina Fey!”

  • Jodi Arias Case: Juror Responsible For Deadlock Gets Security For Protection

    Jodi Arias will not get the death penalty after Thursday’s deadlocked jury resulted in that option being taken off the table.

    Jodi Arias will now await a judges decision to give her life in prison without parole or to give her prison time with the possibility of parole after 25 years.

    The jury voted 11-1 to give Jodi Arias the death penalty. Jurors tried to have the one juror that voted against the death penalty replaced because she had a perceived conflict of interest.

    Her husband was apparently prosecuted by the same attorney that prosecuted Jodi Arias, she told them up front that she was against the death penalty for anyone, and she had also admitted to watching a cable TV movie about the case.

    The judge denied the other jurors’ request to replace her, and told them to keep at it.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZHOfKs1m-Q

    The sole juror who held out now has police protection because her name was posted on a Twitter account that also posted sympathetic comments about Jodi Arias’ victim, Travis Alexander.

    After that, the names of the 11 jurors who voted to sentence Jodi Arias to death were posted on a pro-Arias website.

    Arizona law prohibits naming jurors in any case, and it isn’t known how the leaks happened, but they appeared online after jurors expressed their frustration about the holdout. Some of the jurors were nervous about their identities being out there.

    Juror Emily Cova said she was relieved to hear that police were looking into how the leak happened.

    “I was a little nervous last night. But I’m feeling better now,” said Cova, who agreed to be named.

    As for Jodi Arias, after her testimony is complete, she will begin her sentence in a 12×7 foot cell in a maximum-security unit at the Perryville prison for women. That prison is located 30 miles west of downtown Phoenix.

    If she has good behavior, she could possibly be moved to a medium-security unit.

    Jodi Arias will find out on April 13th whether or not she will ever have the option of parole.

    What do you think about this holdout juror in the Jodi Arias case?

    Jenelle Evans Focusing On Her Kids And Her Education After Fiance Arrested For Domestic Violence

    Jenelle Evans and Nathan Griffith might just finally be over with.

    Nathan Griffith was arrested Wednesday on charges of domestic violence after he allegedly pinned Jenelle Evans against a toilet and forced her engagement ring off of her finger, leaving a cut.

    He reportedly asked Jenelle Evans for his ring back after a fight they had, but she refused.

    A statement from police read, “At about 4:15 p.m. today, Horry County Police Officers responded to a residence on Eagle Creek Drive, in the Myrtle Beach section of Horry County, for a domestic disturbance. This is the location where a television show called Teen Mom 2 is being filmed.”

    It continued, “Officers investigated and determined that an assault had taken place, as a result of an argument between two persons who were determined to be household members. Officers arrested one Nathan Griffith, 27 years of age, of Myrtle Beach, SC. He has been charged with one count of Criminal Domestic Violence and he is presently being held at the Horry County Detention Center.”

    It isn’t clear yet if the fight between Jenelle Evans and Nathan Griffith was caught on camera for the show.

  • Jane Krakowski Says Deep Down, Jenna Maroney And “Kimmy Schmidt” Character, Jacqueline Voorhes, Are Nothing Alike

    Jane Krakowski teamed up with Tina Fey once again to do Fey’s new show, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

    On the show, Jane Krakowski plays a wealthy, neurotic blonde socialite who employs Kimmy as her nanny. The similarities between Krakowski’s new character and Jenna Maroney seem abundant.

    At first.

    Kimmy Schmidt, of course, has been in a bunker with three other women for 15 years living out what they thought was the apocalypse.

    Trying to make it on her own on the mean streets of New York, one of the obstacles Kimmy Schmidt has to deal with is Jane Krakowski’s character, Jacqueline Voorhes

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgohgWMxtKY

    But, the successful pattern of Jacqueline Voorhes as a foil to Kimmy, just like Jenna Maroney was to Liz Lemon on 30 Rock, is as far as the similarities go, according to Jane Krakowski.

    In an interview for Time, Jane Krakowski explains, “I’ve always approached them very differently, and it was certainly conscious on Tina and Robert Carlock’s agenda to make them as different as possible. At first I was taken aback when people were saying that, because I find the characters so different at their core and in their heart, and I think also because I shot all 13 episodes and I know where this character grows. But in the first few episodes, I see why people would feel that way, especially in the beginning, before you learn more about her.”

    She added, “But as I say, I’ve never approached them the same. There’s a vulnerability to Jacqueline that Jenna never had an ounce of on 30 Rock, so I find that they come from very different places.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNKEKlXY3Z4

    Jane Krakowski says she got some initial advice from Tina Fey that helped her see the differences between the two seemingly similar characters.

    She said, “Tina said to me—which was good to learn after 30 Rock had finished filming—was that at her core, Jenna was a horrible person and Jacqueline is not. It was good for me to learn that in hindsight after all of the seasons of 30 Rock! But I do think the characters are very different. The sense of humor is written by the same creators and the comedy has the same tone and pace as 30 Rock, and since I’m associated with both, I think people will naturally put that together.”

    The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, starring Jane Krakowski, started streaming on Netflix Friday. Have you watched it? What do you think about it?

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown: Boyfriend Nick Gordon To Talk To Dr. Phil About His “Mental Anguish”

    Bobbi Kristina Brown continues to fight for her life in an Atlanta hospital without Nick Gordon.

    Bobbi Kristina Brown‘s family has banned him from being in the hospital room with her, causing him stress beyond what he can handle.

    Nick Gordon and Bobbi Kristina Brown have been together since shortly after the death of her mother, Whitney Houston.

    Recently, Bobbi Kristina Brown’s father, Bobby Brown, said he could see her if he met certain conditions. But those conditions weren’t specifically named, besides an insinuation that Nick had details about the day she was found, and apparently were not met by Nick Gordon.

    Brown’s lawyer said, “Let me be very clear, Mr. Gordon was offered an opportunity to potentially visit Bobbi Kristina and he declined to meet the terms of any possible visit.”

    He added, “Obviously Mr. Gordon is not as desperate to visit Bobbi Kristina as he wants the world to believe.”

    However, Nick Gordon’s lawyers see it differently.

    A photo posted by Bobbi Kristina Houston'Gordon (@realbkristinahg) on

    They say, “Bobby Brown has consistently prohibited Nick, who Bobbi Kristina would want by her side, from being there. Per his own words, Mr. Brown has only ‘offered an opportunity to potentially meet with Bobbi Kristina’ if Nick were to meet certain conditions, conditions that we, his attorneys, have advised him not to meet, particularly in light of Mr. Brown’s inability to guarantee access.”

    They continued, “But in an effort to do all he can to visit, Nick has repeatedly offered to meet with Mr. Brown privately to discuss his request in person, rather than through lawyers. Those offers have also been rejected. We hope Mr. Brown has a change of heart.”

    Nick Gordon has reportedly been under so much mental torture that he is going on The Dr. Phil Show to get some help for his stress over Bobbi Kristina Brown’s tragedy, as well as his problems with drugs and alcohol.

    On the show’s website, it promotes the show as somewhat of an intervention.

    It says, “In a national television exclusive, Dr. Phil conducts an emotionally charged intervention with Bobbi Kristina Brown’s boyfriend Nick Gordon, offering Gordon the treatment he appears to so desperately need as he battles drug and alcohol addiction.”

    It continues, “With his mother Michelle at his side, Gordon expresses the severe pain, mental anguish and panic attacks he says he has been suffering since Brown was found face down and unresponsive in a bathtub in her home in January and over the tragic loss of Whitney Houston three years ago. Will he accept Dr. Phil’s offer for help?”

  • Tina Fey On “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” And Netflix

    Tina Fey On “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” And Netflix

    Tina Fey wants everyone to know that her new show, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, was not pre-canceled before it could even air on NBC.

    She just decided to move it to Netflix, instead. No big deal.

    Now that that’s out of the way, Tina Fey’s show will be on Netflix starting Friday.

    The first season, all 13 episodes, of Tina Fey’s new show will be available, and the deal with Netflix guarantees her a second season. That is a guarantee that she wouldn’t have had with NBC.

    Tina Fey and co-creator Robert Carlock sat down for an interview about the new Netflix deal and the show itself.

    The two of them are a little too excited to not have to deal with ratings, and deal more with a growing class of binge-watchers.

    “The whole world [could be watching the show] as far as we know,” said Carlock.

    “We’d know if it was the whole world,” said Tina Fey.

    But, binge-watchers are a familiar brand of people, as Tina Fey feels like the popularity of her hit show, 30 Rock, was mostly due to them.

    She added, “But it will be nice not to have to what we call ‘repilot’ every week. . . . With Netflix, if someone’s watching episode five, you can be pretty confident that it’s because they’ve watched episodes one through four.”

    The beginning relationship with NBC is responsible for the show itself.

    Tina Fey disclosed how the whole process for Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt began with its star, Ellie Kemper from The Office.

    “They knew that she was special, and she was the first actor that we said, ‘Yeah, maybe we would like to. Give us a couple of weeks to think about it,’” Tina Fey said.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxfAjp9gSJo

    She continued, “And we thought about Ellie . . . She has this kind of inherent sunniness and optimism, but also strength. She’s physically fit and strong and we’ve seen her do, like, physical-comedy bits where she’s really agile. And so this mix led us on this path of like, ‘OK, what kind of woman could she be?’ We pitched: Is she a woman who has been in a coma for 15 years? We kept wanting versions of, like, a clean slate.”

    Tina Fey insisted that “these things, you know, keep happening. They happen all over the world, this thing of women being tricked, or lured, or sister-wived.”

    So, they came up with the show as it is today. Kimmy Schmidt has been in an underground bunker with a cult for 15 years. When she gets out, she wants to start her life over in New York using the small bit of knowledge that she can squeeze from her very limited life experience.

    Tina Fey’s new show looks so funny! I see a Netflix binge in my future.

  • Bob Barker And Adam Sandler Continue “Happy Gilmore” Battle For Charity

    Bob Barker and Adam Sandler are at it again.

    To the delight of everyone on the planet, Bob Barker and Adam Sandler got together to continue the incredibly funny fight that started in Happy Gilmore.

    But this time, they’re not just doing it for laughs, they’re doing it for charity.

    Bob Barker and Adam Sandler filmed the continuation of their epic battle for Comedy Central’s Night of Too Many Stars.

    The TV special’s purpose is to raise money and awareness for autism.

    Take a look:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b54pmFhzfDg

    In the beginning, it looks like Adam Sandler and Bob Barker are in the midst of calling a truce. However, that feeling doesn’t last very long.

    After insulting Adam Sandler’s weight and age, Bob Barker springs from the bed when insults escalate to blows.

    Then, Bob Barker dumps his bedpan all over Adam Sandler, prompting Sandler to cry, “How much f**king asparagus did you eat?!”

    So hilarious!

    Then, obviously and dramatically labeled vials of Ebola enter the mix. Bob Barker dumps a vial in his mouth and spits it all over Sandler.

    Bob Barker quips, “I wish I could see David Spade’s face when he finds out there won’t be a Grown Ups 3.”

    After Bob Barker and Adam Sandler both die from Ebola, the battle continues on top of a fluffy cloud with both of them wearing gowns, wings, and carrying harps.

    Night of Too Many Stars will feature tons of comedic talent, including Louis C.K., John Oliver, Chris Rock, Amy Schumer, Maya Rudolph, Jon Stewart, Jim Gaffigan, Sarah Silverman, Steve Buscemi, Steve Carell and many more.

    Happy Birthday, Sandman!

    However, Nick Gordon has been banned from seeing her and is under investigation for the incident.

    This situation and the condition of Bobbi Kristina Brown is causing serious stress on Nick Gordon, as the world can see from his various Twitter rants.

  • Jessica Biel Turns 33, Celebrates With Friends

    Jessica Biel just turned 33, and she got to celebrate at a small dinner party with her friends.

    Jessica Biel went to dinner at celebrity hairstylist Estee Stanley’s home in the Hancock Park area of Los Angeles.

    Estee Stanley is a good friend of Jessica Biel’s, and Estee really treated her right.

    Jessica Biel, the simple, private girl that she is, only wanted a small party. And that is exactly what she got.

    Jessica Biel’s guests gathered to eat in the dining room and it “was simple the way Jessica wanted it,” a source tells Us Weekly.

    The source added, “Everyone ate dinner and toasted Jessica, even though she couldn’t drink. At the end of the evening, Jessica opened up gifts.”

    To cover her growing baby bump, Jessica Biel reportedly wore a beautiful long black and white dress with heels, of all things.

    However, Jessica Biel’s knight in shining armor, hubby Justin Timberlake, was there to help her out.

    “He was protective and shielding Jessica,” the source said of Timberlake. “She was walking slowly in her heels but she was very happy and said she had had the best night.”

    That wasn’t the only time Timberlake doted on Jessica Biel.

    He also posted a sweet Instagram tribute.

    Jessica Biel will be delivering their little bundle sometime this spring!

    Happy Birthday, Jessica Biel!

  • “The Breakfast Club” Turns 30, Still Has Great Meaning For Molly Ringwald

    The Breakfast Club was released 30 years ago! Can you believe it?

    The movie that follows a day in high school dentention in the early 80’s is a cult favorite and one that anyone can find a character to relate to.

    That is a rare quality, and The Breakfast Club is king of that quality.

    Teen angst in the 80’s is not quite what it is today, but that fact is lost on a person when they watch this movie whether it’s for the first time or the 30th.

    It’s universal.

    That particular quality is what Molly Ringwald, and surely the rest of the cast, treasures about The Breakfast Club.

    She went on Today to discuss the movie and its significance, then and now, with anchor and huge Breakfast Club fan, Savannah Guthrie.

    She said, “I always loved the script, loved the movie, but I never imagined we would be talking about it 30 years later. I never imagined it would still speak to my kids. … I feel like it keeps speaking to generation after generation.”

    Molly Ringwald recently watched The Breakfast Club with her 11-year-old daughter.

    She said, “I showed her Sixteen Candles and Pretty In Pink, but I realized I was holding out on that one because I realized it had a lot of significance for me.”

    Molly Ringwald said that if she could go back to The Breakfast Club dentention hall, there are a couple of things that she’d get her hands on.

    “I would love to have those boots now,” Ringwald said of character Claire’s still-fashionable brown boots. “The boots and the statue!”

    Where would one put that statue from The Breakfast Club?

    I guess you would just make room. I mean, it’s the Breakfast Club statue!

    What do you think about The Breakfast Club turning 30? Do you feel old now?

  • Victoria Beckham’s New Fall 2015 Line On Passed Out Models

    Victoria Beckham’s new fall 2015 line, called Victoria, Victoria Beckham, is amazing, as usual.

    Victoria Beckham always impresses with her clothing collections, and she never disappoints.

    However, some might question Victoria Beckham‘s choices for her ad campaign for Victoria, Victoria Beckham.

    In the odd photo spread, Victoria Beckham’s clothing designs are spot-on.

    The models, though, seem a little less enthused than they should be.

    In fact, some of them don’t seem alive. Or maybe there was a call for narcoleptic models for Victoria Beckham’s new line? Maybe they asked for models with demon possession experience.

    Whatever the case, this was not your run-of-the-mill fashion campaign for Victoria, Victoria Beckham.

    The reasoning behind the unusual campaign is hard to wrap the head around.

    It would seem creators wanted to show women who can afford Victoria, Victoria Beckham how amazing they will look when they’ve had way too much to drink at this year’s office Christmas party.

    “This is statement dressing made easy,” the press release for the Victoria, Victoria Beckham collection reads. “Attitude is applied, stripped down and made sophisticated creating a wearable collection that continues to evolve with its customer.”

    Ok. I guess.

    If by evolve, they mean the evolution of one’s physical state through a night of heavy partying, then I guess I could see it.

  • Shania Twain Announces First Tour In 11 Years, Which Will Also Be Her Last One

    Shania Twain has closed her extremely popular show in Las Vegas, and now she is ready to hit the road.

    On Good Morning America, Shania Twain announced that she will be doing her first tour in 11 years.

    However, it will also be Shania Twain‘s last tour, she said.

    Shania Twain said, “This is a very, very important time on the road for me. I just feel like I’m ready to hang my hat up in that regard. I just really want to go out with a bang.”

    Shania Twain kept saying that she will be 50 this year, but each time she said it, it was harder to believe.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4FZv4l-kLs

    With her giant hair and perfect skin, Shania Twain looks younger all the time.

    When Shania Twain was asked what her strength has been through her musical career, her cheating husband, and her messy divorce, she gave a lot of credit to her fans.

    “I look to others for more strength,” Shania Twain said. “I look for the courage in others and then I find mine.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioAO9UCIYzY

    She added, “I think that’s why I love being with the fans. I love getting out into the audience. I like hearing their stories. I like talking to them during the show.”

    Shania Twain also said that she is working on a new record, as well, that will come out after her 48-city tour ends.

    “I want it to come out when I’m 50, so it will happen,” said Shania Twain, who will turn 50 in August. “I’m on the microphone every day recording stuff.”

    Shania Twain refers to her upcoming tour as her after-party, the celebration of her career and her show in Vegas. “I want to just enjoy that party, that celebration party, and then I’ll get back to the record.”

  • Harry Hamlin’s Secret: What Does Kim Richards Know?

    Harry Hamlin has been quite the hot topic on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills as of late.

    In fact, just the mention of him brought his wife, Lisa Rinna, to her feet so that she could toss water on Kim Richards.

    Kim Richards kept bringing up Harry Hamlin as though she knows a big secret about him.

    That was too much for Lisa, who then broke the glass on the table.

    Kim Richards didn’t come out and say just what Harry Hamlin’s big secret was that she knew, but it sure seemed to push Lisa Rinna’s buttons.

    This is all that matters. This is my life, my everything.

    A photo posted by Lisa Rinna (@lisarinna) on

    It could have something to do with Harry Hamlin’s struggle with alcohol addiction.

    Lisa Rinna opened up about Harry Hamlin’s struggle on Tuesday’s episode to her co-star Yolanda Foster.

    “Harry’s been sober, um, three years,” Rinna revealed.

    “After two brothers dying, that’s probably when he said, ‘No more,’” said Foster. Lisa Rinna had revealed that Harry Hamlin lost two brothers to alcoholism six months apart.

    “I think it just woke him up, and in his mind he said, ‘You know what? I have to stop this,’ because, you know, it goes back hundreds of years,” said Lisa.

    “It’s a true illness, you know?” Foster responded.

    Or it could have something to do with Harry Hamlin’s initial distaste for the show.

    Lisa Rinna said on Live! With Kelly and Michael that when she first approached Harry Hamlin, her husband of 18 years, about doing RHOBH, he was not on board.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spXVq0xn4gk

    “I went to Harry and said I’m thinking about [doing RHOBH] and he looked at me and said, ‘If you do this show, I’ll divorce you.’”

    After Harry Hamlin’s response, she was not going to push it.

    “I walked away and was done with it,” Rinna told host Kelly Ripa. “Actually, I was done with the show idea.”

    However, after Harry Hamlin slept on it, he decided it wasn’t such a bad idea after all.

    She continued, “He comes to me a day later and he goes – and you’ve met him, he’s very mellow, very low-key – and he said, ‘I’ve thought about this and I think it’ll be a good idea if you did it.’ He went through it. And I was like ‘OK.’ And there you are!”

    Harry Hamlin’s secret could also be something totally different.

    Or Kim Richards could just totally be making something up to get the heat off of herself and her sobriety.

    What do you think it could be?

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown Passes 22nd Birthday With No Change In Her Condition

    Bobbi Kristina Brown passed her 22nd birthday today quietly and with no change in her condition, as far as we know.

    Right now, doctors continue to wait for any signs that Bobbi Kristina Brown might pull through, with or without severe damage.

    Since Bobbi Kristina Brown was found unresponsive in the bathtub of her home on January 31st, her family has been to hell and back.

    Rumor upon rumor continues to make it into the public, only to be shot down by Bobby Brown’s attorney.

    Bobbi Kristina’s family members have fought and some of them have been banned from the hospital including her boyfriend, Nick Gordon, who meant so much to her that they claimed to be married.

    That sparked multiple Twitter rants from Nick Gordon against Bobby Brown.

    More recently, Bobbi Kristina’s family was accused by TMZ of filming a reality show featuring her tragedy.

    However, Bobby Brown’s lawyer quelled that rumor just as fast as the rest.

    He said, “Yet again, TMZ has chosen to engage in false news reporting. There is no Brown family reality show that is in production which chronicles Bobby Brown, Bobbi Kristina or the medical emergency she presently faces at Emory Hospital.”

    He added, “These reports are irresponsible and Warner Brothers as the owner of TMZ, should be ashamed to publish such nonsense, particularly one day before Bobbi Kristina’s birthday. Bobbi Kristina and Bobby Brown are dealing with enough right now. The fact that TMZ/Warner Brothers has decided to inject negativity into their lives at this critical time is plain insanity.”

    As Bobbi Kristina Brown’s birthday passes, the world continues to hold their collective breath and wait to see what will happen to her.

    “There’s nothing else we can do,” a family member told People. “So we just wait.”

    We all just wait. What do you think will happen to Bobbi Kristina Brown?

  • Kate McKinnon Gets Personal With Chris Hemsworth in “SNL” Promos

    Kate McKinnon was obviously happy to give Chris Hemsworth a hand in promoting this week’s episode of Saturday Night Live.

    Chris Hemsworth will be hosting the show, Zac Brown Band will be the musical guests.

    If the promos with Kate McKinnon are any indication, Chris Hemsworth is going to be an amazing host.

    The two of them shot several promos for the show including one where Kate McKinnon seems to forget her purpose and just stares at Chris Hemsworth through the entire thing.

    In another, Kate McKinnon suggests that she and Chris Hemsworth should try the infamous Dirty Dancing lift.

    “There’s something I’ve always wanted to do, and you’re the perfect host,” Kate McKinnon said.

    It didn’t end well for McKInnon, as is seems Chris Hemsworth has never seen the movie. Instead of using his enormous biceps to lift her into the air, he grabs her as she runs toward him and promptly twists her into a choke hold.

    Kate McKinnon says, choking, “You’ve never seen Dirty Dancing, have you?”

    In another, Kate McKinnon plays personal trainer to Chris Hemsworth.

    She yells, “Come on, b**ch. Own that! Be the change. Earn it! Think about every time someone told you you couldn’t do it! Think about every time someone told you that Liam was the hot one, not Chris!”

    The whole time Chris is trying to get pumped up to lift two tiny, maybe three pound, dumbbells.

    In another promo, Kate McKinnon tells Chris Hemsworth that she’s an incredibly strong woman and challenges him to an arm wrestling match. She then reveals that all of that was just a ruse so that she could touch him.

    Get it, Kate McKinnon.

    This weeks episode is sure to be hilarious.

    What do you think of Kate McKinnon’s antics for this week’s SNL promos?

  • Sara Gilbert Gave Birth To Baby Boy Over The Weekend

    Sara Gilbert gave birth to her baby boy, with her wife Linda Perry, on Saturday.

    The 40-year-old co-host from The Talk is now on maternity leave, as announced by her colleague, Julie Chen.

    On Monday’s episode of The Talk, Sara Gilbert’s absence was felt, but her co-hosts were thinking about, and talking about, the new addition to their “family”.

    Julie Chen said, “Our very own Sara and her wife Linda are the proud parents of a new baby boy and both mother and child are doing well.”

    She then added that Sara Gilbert would be on maternity leave for a while and that Alyssa Milano was taking her place at the table.

    Another of Sarah Gilbert’s co-hosts, Sharon Osbourne, showed a picture of the adorable baby boy, named Rhodes Emilio Gilbert Perry, which caused hosts and audience alike to ooh and aah over his cuteness.

    This baby boy is Sara Gilbert‘s first child with Linda Perry, 49, who is the former singer for 4 Non Blondes and a successful music producer.

    Rhodes Emilio Gilbert Perry will join Sara Gilbert’s other two children from a previous relationship, Levi, 10, and her daughter Sawyer, 7.

    Sara Gilbert and Linda Perry began dating in 2011.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGXf9xcV71c

    They were married last year in a ceremony witnessed by all of The Talk ladies.

    “It was an amazing, amazing night,” Aisha Tyler told the audience after Sara Gilbert’s wedding to Linda Perry. “[It was] beautiful and it was at sunset and just overlooking the ocean. I mean we can’t tell much about it because we want Sara to talk about it.”

    Julie Chen said, “It was magical. It was the most beautiful ceremony … When she returns on Monday, we’re going to show you pictures from the wedding and talk about it.”

    And baby makes three. Well, five, technically.

  • Lisa Rinna And Kim Richards: Fight In Amsterdam Takes Feud To A Whole New Level

    Lisa Rinna and Kim Richards are at it again, and this time, it seems there will be no mercy.

    On Tuesday night’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Lisa Rinna and Kim Richards quickly got out the gloves when Rinna questioned Richard’s sobriety claims.

    The whole fiasco started at Eileen’s poker party.

    While there, Lisa Rinna began to question Kim Richard’s sobriety because she was acting erratically and slurring her words.

    Lisa Rinna insisted that she only questioned because she was worried about Richards, but she was quickly swatted down.

    This is all that matters. This is my life, my everything.

    Richards insisted, “I have been sober for three years, and my friends and family have never seen me like that. You have gone around to everyone and talked … asking where I’ve gone to treatment, if I had a sponsor … you want to bring up my stuff, let’s talk about your home life.”

    To that, Lisa Rinna looked shocked, as though perhaps Kim Richards had hit a nerve.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spXVq0xn4gk

    When Eileen Davidson tried to step in to Lisa Rinna’s defense, she wasn’t spared Kim Richards’ wrath, either. Richards told her to shut up. She also said she hates Davidson’s “hair, face, attitude.”

    Ouch, that’s a little petty. Evan for Kim Richards.

    Davidson said, “I don’t know where this hatred is coming from … it’s evil.”

    Then, Richards turned again to Lisa Rinna, again bringing up Rinna’s husband, actor Harry Hamlin.

    “You better watch what you talk about me, or everyone will know,” she yelled. This was the last straw for Lisa Rinna who pick up a glass and tossed water on Richards. She then threw the glass at her, which shattered everywhere.

    “Never go after my husband!” screamed Lisa Rinna, leaving the restaurant.

    “Everyone will know!” Richards yelled back. “She can’t lie about me, or I’ll tell something that is true.”

    Wow. What a scene! I think if I saw these ladies in the restaurant I was in, I would want one of those splash guard things like they have at SeaWorld.

    Even though Lisa Rinna and Kim Richards seemed to make up later, it just doesn’t seem like it will last.

  • Victoria Beckham’s New Fall/Winter Line Showcased On Passed Out Models

    Victoria Beckham’s new fall/winter 2015 line called Victoria, Victoria Beckham, is really amazing.

    The fresh prints are a great change from the worn out trends of this past year, and the surprising patterns are just what the fashion world needs to shake things up.

    However, the models that are showcasing Victoria Beckham‘s new line aren’t as excited as they should be.

    In fact, they look downright bored.

    The slim ladies modeling Victoria Beckham’s clothing line look like they’ve been thrown from a large ceiling fan and just stayed put where they landed.

    The models, adorned in Victoria, Victoria Beckham, are draped across furniture, laying on the floor, slumped against walls and even in weird standing/sleep narcoleptic positions.

    Victoria Beckham posted a picture of one model, who actually does look awake and appears to be enjoying the adorable dress she is wearing, to Instagram.

    A press release for the new Victoria, Victoria Beckham line attempted to explain just what is going on with these models.

    It said, “This is statement dressing made easy. Attitude is applied, stripped down and made sophisticated creating a wearable collection that continues to evolve with its customer.”

    What do you think of Victoria Beckham’s new line and the weird way in which she decided to showcase it?

  • Sara Gilbert And Linda Perry Welcome Baby Boy

    Sara Gilbert and her wife, Linda Perry, welcomed a baby boy on Saturday.

    The little guy was named Rhodes Emilio Gilbert Perry, and he joins Sara Gilbert’s children from her previous relationship, Levi, 10, and daughter Sawyer, 7.

    Sara Gilbert announced on her show, The Talk, back in September that she was pregnant.

    Sara Gilbert told her co-stars, and the world, that she was expecting when she had to back out of her Dare Week dare. She would be laying down on a bed of nails with a bed of nails on top, with a cinder block on top. And then, a sledge hammer would be smacked down on top of her.

    Fortunately for her, Sara Gilbert found out she was pregnant!

    Sara Gilbert’s The Talk co-host Julie Chen announced on Monday’s episode that she had given birth over the weekend.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDYcf_21ClQ

    Sara Gilbert, 40, and Linda Perry, 49, began dating back in 2011. Linda Perry is the former lead singer of 4 Non Blondes and is currently a successful music producer.

    She has reportedly written big hits for Christina Aguilera, Adam Lambert, and even Gwen Stefani.

    After dating for a while, Linda Perry proposed to Sara Gilbert in an amazing feat pulled off with perfect timing. Take notes, lovebirds.

    Sara Gilbert told exactly how it went down.

    She said, “We go to a park, and we have food and we’re eating it, it’s really sweet and there’s this guy sitting playing guitar, like a street musician, and he starts playing this song that we love… I’m like, ‘Oh, that’s so weird, this is so magical and amazing.’”

    She continued, “So that ends and she’s like, ‘Oh, I’m gonna ask him to play this other song,’ but this other song is really obscure and this guy wouldn’t know it, but magically he knows it… And suddenly the people picnicking next to us pull out string instruments from under the blanket and walk over and they start playing ‘Love Song’ [by the Cure].”

    Sara Gilbert said that Linda Perry then “goes to her backpack and she pulls out some T-shirts and the first T-shirt says, ‘Will,’ and then she puts on another T-shirt that says, ‘You,’ ‘Marry,’ ‘Me’ and the last one is a question mark.”

    But, that’s not all!

    Sara Gilbert added, “So then she says, ‘OK, turn around,’ and I turn around and our mums are there and a couple friends… So I think that’s it and it’s the most amazing proposal ever and then… this guy walks up and she’s like, ‘This is John Waite,’ and he starts playing ‘Missing You’.”

    And a new baby makes a sweet end to the sweet story of Sara Gilbert and Linda Perry.

  • Dorinda Medley Joins RHONY, Wants To Be “The Fun One”

    Dorinda Medley will be joining the electric group of ladies on Real Housewives of New York.

    As a socialite, Dorinda Medley is all caught up on life as a rich New York City housewife. As a widow, she may have something to prove.

    Dorinda Medley said of her experience, “I live on the Upper East Side, and it’s a small fishbowl up here. I am not going to be that ball of yarn that came out of nowhere.”

    She added, “I know these girls. I know their world. I’ve even done a few cameos. So I thought, why not give it a try and see if it is something that suits me?”

    Dorinda Medley has quite the interesting past and lots of life experience to bring to the show.

    Me with NY's finest!!!!!

    Dorinda married a young Scotsman in the early 80’s after working in the garment district. When she and her husband moved to London, she opened up a cashmere company that had none other than Princess Diana as its most distinguished customer.

    That experience in London is what put Dorinda Medley on the fashion world map.

    She said, “It was 1989. I got Princess Diana to be one of my clients, and project [the company] forward with the British classes.”

    Welcome!!!!!!

    But, it wasn’t to last. After ten years of marriage Dorinda Medley divorced her Scotsman and moved to New York City.

    Once there, Dorinda Medley tried her hand at real estate.

    As a successful New York real estate broker, she showed an Upper East Side townhouse to Richard Medley, a hedge fund adviser and former partner to George Soros.

    One thing led to another and the two were married in 2005. Unfortunately, Richard Medley passed away in 2011, leaving Dorinda Medley a widow.

    Happy Birthday Richard we love and miss you!!!!

    However, the pain of losing her husband and the subsequent healing process have made her stronger.

    She said, “I’ve been presented with a lot of different challenges and that’s why I wasn’t afraid to be on the Housewives. The whole point is to keep going foward and try again.”

    Dorinda Medley also stated that she is hoping to be the fun one on the show.

    What do you think of Dorinda Medley joining RHONY? How do you think her life experiences will help or hurt her on the show?
