If it seems like everyone is talking about the World Cup, it's probably because more people than ever are watching it.

The first round of group matches held in Brazil broke television viewing records around the world, according to a news release from FIFA.

Record numbers were set in Brazil, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, Argentina, France, the Netherlands, Croatia, Italy, and yes, even the U.S., according to FIFA.

Almost 43 million watched Brazil and Croatia on Brazilian channel TV Globo, the highest sports broadcast of 2014, according to FIFA.

More than 11 million watched the USA beat Ghana on ESPN, which was a record high for ESPN’s coverage of men’s FIFA World Cup matches.

England and Italy’s opener attracted more than 14 million on BBC1 in the UK and 12.8 million on RAI 1, the highest TV audiences in both countries in 2014, according to FIFA.

“These record-breaking figures show just how popular football and the FIFA World Cup are across the world, from Japan to Argentina,” Niclas Ericson, director of FIFA TV, said in the release. “We are seeing highly encouraging growth in interest in markets such as the United States and Australia.”

10 forgotten things from the year 2000

0
0

How much have things changed? How much have things stayed the same? Dating is now done on phones and McKnight went from sweet crooner who soundtracked middle school dances to the man behind an X-rated “adult” mixtape. To see what you may be forgetting — or purposely blocking out — from the first year of the new millennium, travel back in time with the list below.

2. Pokémon
Gotta catch ‘em all! Between the TV show, the movies and the trading cards, children had their own form of legalized crack in the 21st century. It’s name was Pikachu.


5. The Perfect Storm
In 2000 George Clooney still needed to prove that he could become a successful movie star after making a name for himself on TV’s ER. So what better way to do it than to grow out a sexy salt and pepper beard and star in a book to film adaptation about weather and hunky fishermen? It’s a serious, sad story, yes. But they all look so good.

9. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
Ang Lee‘s film took home Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars and was nominated for Best Picture. It became a worldwide hit, and who cares if you didn’t fully understand the plot or what they were saying? All that martial arts sure looked cool.



10. “Back at One”
1. Acknowledge Brian McKnight’s sexiness.
2. Know that this song is guaranteed to set the mood, and work with that special intel.
3. Stay away from the music video, though. (It’s kind of messed up.)
4. Repeat steps 1-3.
5. Fall in love with Mr. McKnight again. All part of his master plan!


Everything mentioned from 2006 and 2007 in VH1's 'I Love the 2000s'

What was missing from the 2006 and 2007 episodes? Heroes, Friday Night Lights, The Hills, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, Pushing Daisies, to name some shows. Anna Nicole Smith and nude Vanessa Hudgens and (regretfully) Michael Vick, to mention some scandals. 300 and The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine and Knocked Up, to drop some movies. Couldn’t we show some love to these worthy pop culture topics?

But I will say that 2007 brought us the best Year in [Britney] Spears. Read on and let those shaved head memories come rushing back.

Is Kimmy K. West pursuing a Music Career?

vibe-vixen-kim-kardashian-turn-up



(CNN) -- It may be a case of wishful thinking, but a British tabloid is reporting that Kim Kardashian West may be pursuing a music career again.

According to The Sun, the newlywed has enlisted the help of husband Kanye West as well as vocal and songwriting coaches to help her break into the industry.

Now, we say wishful thinking because embarking on such a venture would just give folks the opportunity to write even more about Kardashian (raising our hands over here, too). That's the whole point, isn't it?

Still, it's not that she hasn't tried before.


Remember the reality star's single, "Jam (Turn It Up)," from 2011? Most people probably don't. The song gained practically no traction.

In 2012 Kardashian was quoted as saying that she would never try to launch a singing career."No, I'd never (make another single), that was just for fun, and for charity," she said at the time.

Though Kim has yet to confirm the news, the idea doesn't seem far-fetched, as Kanye has had quite the influence on his new wife. Since announcing their relationship, Kim has changed her style for Kanye, and she exploits her life less and even changed her last name for him (she said on her show that she wouldn't change her last name for her now-ex-husband, Kris).

To get a tease of what Kim Kardashian sounds like as a singer, check out the video below.

Proceeds from her single, which failed to make the charts, reportedly went to fund St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.

Bethenny Frankel in talks to join 'The View'

Will Bethenny Frankel’s next gig be a spot on ‘The View?’ According to Rob Shuter of VH1’s “The Gossip Show,” the ex-New York Housewife has been in talks with ABC to become a permanent fixture on the morning show.
“‘The View’ is looking for someone to spice up the show,” an insider revealed to Shuter. “Someone with lots of opinions and a big personality and Bethennny is at the top of the list.” Apparently several secret conversations have occurred but no deal has been reached.
If she’s hired, Frankel won’t be the first co-host with a reality show background. Elisabeth Hasselbeck was a contestant on “Survivor.”
The 43-year-old television personality is looking for a job as her self-titled afternoon talk show was not renewed. She also recently settled a bruising custody battle over her four-year-old daughter Bryn with ex-husband Jason Hoppy.
The source added that Frankel is “very interested in getting back on TV. It is the only job that she really knows. She is telling friends that she thinks she can save ‘The View.’”

Royal Family's Apartment Has Asbestos, Will Cost Only £4 Million to Fix

prince-george-1-480x360



Kate Middleton and her double tufts of hair in body sacks, Prince William and porkpie Prince George, have been living in Medieval squalor at their Kensington Palace apartment. With no running water and tons of asbestos infiltrating their happy home, the repairs on the palace are reportedly going to cost UK taxpayers nearly £4 million.

These aren't the first repairs made on the royal trio's abode. Before little man-baby George was born, renovations were made to the tune of £1 million, causing a polite uproar among Brits everywhere.


As Carole Malone wrote in an op-ed last year for The Mirror:

Buck House insists these grand ­palaces have to be maintained and held in trust for the nation. Really? So when was the last time any of us were invited to any of the private royal residences for tea and a digestive?

Quite! But spokespeople for the upcoming renovations stand by their decision to make the Plebeian people pay for the upkeep of a house they'll never live in.


Via BBC News:

"We also had to take into account the fact that Kensington Palace is a scheduled ancient monument, and all elements of the refurbishment had to be agreed with English Heritage."

"The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge paid privately for all the internal furnishings, including carpets and curtains."

"They were also at pains to ensure that the specification is not extravagant."
Their house was last renovated in 1963 and the official details and costs of the fix-up are to come next week."

The Royal Family have defended an estimated £4million refurbishment of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's Kensington Palace apartment.

Taxpayers will foot the bill for extensive work on the property, including installing a new roof, overhauling the electrics and carrying out significant plumbing works.

A royal spokesman said repairs and refurbishments would also see a "significant amount of internal building" to "return the residence to function as a living space".

The apartment, which was last refurbished in 1963, was designed by Sir Christopher Wren and was the home of Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon. Margaret remained there after their divorce and lived there until her death in 2002.

From Princess Margaret’s death until the fall of 2012, Apartment 1A was used as office space, classrooms and a temporary display of dresses worn by Princess Diana. After extensive renovations and as of October 2013, it once again serves as the home to the world’s most famous royal couple.

A royal spokesman said:

"This is the Duke and Duchess's one and only official residence. It is here that they plan to stay for many, many years to come.

"We also had to take into account the fact that Kensington Palace is a scheduled ancient monument, and all elements of the refurbishment had to be agreed with English Heritage. Often this meant ensuring a high standard of work in line with the historical significance of the Christopher Wren building."

Cressida Bonas has got her mojo back after split with Prince Harry

0

What do you do if you break up with a prince? Answer: have a ball. Maxine Frith reports on the new life of a royal knockout, Cressida Bonas

30CRESSIDA1906comp

Girl about town: left, Cressida Bonas at last week’s Art Antiques London Gala Evening in aid of Children In Crisis and, right, leaving Annabel’s nightclub with Princess Beatrice

ACTING OUT

The timing could not have been more perfect. Weeks after her break-up she has landed a role in the boho film of next year. Tulip Fever, a 17th-century love story based on the bestselling novel by Deborah Moggach which will also star Oscar-winning actors Dame Judi Dench and Christoph Waltz.

Produced by Hollywood heavyweight Harvey Weinstein, the film has also signed up Cara Delevingne and Daisy Lowe.


Bonas will play a beautiful socialite and shooting is due to start in Amsterdam in the next few months. Meanwhile she has received warm reviews for her role in the play There’s a Monster in the Lake, which premiered at the drama spin-off of the Hay-on-Wye literary festival.

Directed by Lily Ashley, granddaughter of Laura Ashley, the production featured Bonas as a comic, cockney-accented “picaresque wolf” and is now on tour before heading to London next month.

Reviewers said the highly active role proves that Bonas can not only act but can dance — she studied dance and drama at Leeds University before moving to a one-year course at the respected Trinity Laban Conservatoire in Greenwich.

It’s all a big change from the past two years, during which Bonas took a £20,000 a year job in theatre marketing because it was deemed “safer” than accepting sometimes risqué dance jobs and acting roles that she worried would only attract attention because of her connection with Prince Harry.

Despite coming from an aristocratic background the socialite has always been fiercely independent, refusing handouts from her parents.

In fact her split from Harry was blamed partly on the fact that she was reluctant to spend her hard-earned salary on a plane fare to his friend Guy Pelly’s wedding in Memphis earlier this year.

“It’s ironic that she struggled to keep up with Prince Harry’s spending while they were together but now she’s about to make some big money from films,” says a source.

THE BONAS BOHOS

A popular student at Stowe School (her room was the party HQ and a route to a clandestine rooftop smoking spot) Bonas has a close-knit circle of male and female friends.

Harry’s royal pedigree has never fazed her — she was introduced to him through her BFF Princess Eugenie. And as a couple, they have a shared social circle that they have largely maintained despite their split. But Bonas has never been particularly close to Harry’s “blokey” mates such as Pelly and the break-up has given her the chance to spend more time with her arty friends.

She has loved her time at Hay and on tour with new friends such as Ashley, the play’s creator Tallulah Brown (daughter of journalist Craig) and hot newcomer Florence Keith-Roach — after the success of the Hay show Tatler gleefully reported that the troupe all went to the Groucho pop-up for a cuppa.

In March, Bonas moved to Shepherd’s Bush — which she calls Shey-Boo — where she is a neighbour of newlywed Poppy Delevingne, which will be handy for pre-Tulip Fever rehearsals with sister Cara. She has also become a regular at the Havelock Tavern, favoured by Carey Mulligan and her Mumford man Marcus.

With her new bunch of boho chums she is planning on going to the Burning Man festival in Nevada in August. But she has also managed to maintain a friendship with the prince — the two are taking part in Sam Branson’s Virgin hiking challenge later this year and are still in regular contact.

THE CRESSIE HUNTERS

So who will be Bonas’ next Prince Charming? Friends say she is happy to be single following her two years with Harry — but who could resist flirting with Sherlock actor Benedict Cumberbatch? The pair met at Chiltern Firehouse recently when Bonas hit the town with her Princess pal.

And is Bonas’ former boyfriend, Harry Wentworth-Stanley, trying to win her back? The couple met at Leeds University but split after Wentworth-Stanley went travelling. Some royal-watchers are speculating that the other Harry may also be missing her.

article-2625307-1DBA7F1A00000578-305_634x522

But with her film role, theatrical career and a boho-erati social circle to keep her busy, Harry will have to fight if he wants his Bonas back.

Brandi Glanville Calls Her Son Asshole, Refuses To Apologize!

0
0


Brandi Glanville isn't about to apologize. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star is defending herself after name calling and using profanities about her son Jake, 7, on her podcast show this week.

While talking to actor Jake Lacy, the reality star called her youngest boy an "asshole" and a "dick" during a segment on Brandi Glanville Unfiltered.

"I joke about my kids & dogs being assholes sometimes cuz honestly they can be but I love them more then life!!people that know me know that!" Glanville, 41, tweeted on Saturday, June 22.

"OMG I jokingly refer 2my kids&dogs as lil a--holes sometimes cuz they can be," she continued. "My mom called us her lil-shits. Stop taking things so seriously." (Glanville is mom to Jake and Mason, 11, with ex-husband Eddie Cibrian.)

Despite rolling the controversy off her back, Glanville has apologized before for topics she's discussed on her show.

In January, she responded to the backlash she received after joking that she wanted to "be molested as a child."





Porsha Williams Dating NBA Star!


Porsha Williams revealed she’s dating a 20-something NBA player to her coworkers on Dish Nation.

Although much is still not known about Williams’ new man, a few more details are better than none.

She revealed his age group and occupation, but no name was released. Nevertheless, Williams is known for liking athletic men.

She was married to football player Kordell Stewart, after all. Also, some gossipers leaked her to Chad Johnson, which she basically denied.

But whoever he is, his body must look great! “You deserve a man who matches your body,” she said.

Although Williams is keeping her relationship under wraps overall, she will reveal more about it on season seven of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.










Teresa Pays Tribute to Joe’s Father!


Teresa Giudice paid tribute to her father-in-law Frank Giudice on Friday by posting various photos on her Instagram account.

The first photo she shared was of her husband Joe Giudice with his father. "I took this photo of Joe and my Fatherinlaw on Father's Day. We Love you Dad Forever in our ❤," she captioned the photo.



The Real Housewives of New Jersey star then went on to share photos of Frank with her kids and some other family members in which she writes, “I miss my Fatherinlaw.”

On Wednesday, news broke that Joe’s father, who was 63 at the time, fell to the ground – resulting in death – while building a chicken coop in the garden of the Giudice’s home.

TMZ reported Joe and Teresa believe he suffered a massive heart attack.

According to Radar, the viewing will take place on Sunday in Totowa, N.J. where the entire extended family from Italy is planning on attending.

“Everyone is shocked at their beloved relative dying so quickly,” a source says. “They all want to come and show their support for the family.”

Services will then continue on Monday where a mass will be held followed by the actual funeral.



"Thank you all for your prayers...xx," Teresa tweeted on Thursday while her daughter, Gia, shared, "Strongest man I know.. I love you nonno❤️rest in peace🙏 6/18/14."

Teresa and Joe are currently facing years in prison on fraud charges. Their July court date has since been pushed back following the death of Frank.

Teresa and Joe Giudice's Court Hearing Pushed Back Following the Death of Joe's Father

A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s office confirmed to In Touch on Thursday that the Guidices will not return to court until the end of September.










Is Heather DuBrow Getting A Divorce?


Don’t add Heather Dubrow and Terry Dubrow to the list of failed Housewives marriages just yet. Though the couple have been having some marriage issues, as Radar has reported, plastic surgeon Terry has spoken out to insist that the Real Housewives of Orange County couple are doing fine, despite their differences.

“My wife and I have a very tight relationship,” he told Wetpaint in a new interview. “The main issues we have is that I joke around a lot. You can’t take things to serious with me. Although she’s funny, everything’s pretty serious with her.”

“I don’t want to know what I’m doing next Tuesday, but she can tell you what she’s doing eight months from now,” he said. “I don’t want to plan. I just want to live.”

As Radar reported, Terry’s laid-back outlook on life has been clashing with Heather’s, to the point that sources claimed he was threatening to leave her and go on tour with his dead brother’s band, Quiet Riot, during the summer.

Both members of the couple denied it, and his friend, Adrienne Maloof’s ex, Paul Nassif, chimed in, “That’s a joke. That’s a huge joke. Those two have a fantastic relationship together and they like to tease each other — especially Terry.”

The App Secret.ly Lets You Make Your Own Secrets Seen Only In Private Groups

0
0
dc

The people of Secret announced a new feature of their mobile app today. In a blog post on Secret’s Medium.com blog, the addition of secret groups known as “Secret Dens” was explained. These groups allow for individuals of business organizations, universities, and other communities to post their secrets to their own private groups. Members will still remain anonymous, but the pool of individuals involved will clearly be smaller, and thus truth-tellers more likely to be found out by counterparts.


The infamous secret and gossip-sharing app has been catching on over the last few months, offering a drama-filled hub for catty and cut-throat tech sector employees, a sex-starved LGBT community, and your average lonely and depressed PostSecret types (Note: This is an author’s opinion from general personal use the last few months in Washington DC).
Secret Dens will roll out slowly as a pilot (beta) test to several businesses, schools, and organizations at first. To apply for your own Den, Secret recommends emailing dens@secret.ly. You can catch a glimpse of some of Secret’s own Den exploits above. As for the privacy and security of Secret Dens, Secret claims outsiders will not be given access. Organization-only emails (i.e. @techvoid.com) will have to be verified to join a particular community’s Den.


So what’s the point? Personally, I feel Secret.ly is simply attempting to tear the world apart with lewd gossip, all in an effort to distract us while it mines all of the Bitcoins. Sarcasm aside, the implications of this growing secret-telling application are slightly disturbing. While I do see Secret’s seed of the open and honest whistle-blowing mentality of Edward Snowden, the way people choose to use this platform is more like that of a high school slambook. It’s being used to tear down colleagues, exes, and fellow students or post overtly graphic sexual escapades on the internet. And if we want to continue down a hypothetically darker path, what happens when Secretly becomes used by men and women to sexual harass their cohorts? Will Secret.ly censor their users? Let us know what you think.


For the full rundown of how to use Secret Dens, see below:

How do I post to just my Den?
When you write your secret, simply add “@yourdomain” to your post.

How do I know when a Secret has come from my Den?
You will see your Den name in the bottom left-hand corner of the Secret.

Are secrets in my Den visible to anyone else?
Nope. Not even via share. These secrets are visible exclusively to people that are part of your den, and nobody else.

I’m invited to the Secret Dens pilot. How do I join my Den?
Two options:

Create a new account with your work or university email address and verify it.
Add another email address to your existing account. First, make sure you’ve verified your primary email address. Then, go to your account page at http://secret.ly/me and select “Add another email.” Add your work email address to your Secret account.
Either way, you’ll receive a confirmation email when you’re in.

How will I know who else in my organization is part of the Den?
That’s a secret. However you will be notified as others join.

Can I remove someone?
Yes. Simply go to your account page and type in their email address. They will receive a notification that you removed them. Anyone in the domain can remove anyone else.

How do I create a Den for my company, university or organization?
Right now, Secret Dens is invite-only. If you’re interested in getting a Den set up for your company, send us an email at dens@secret.ly and we’ll be in touch.

Vampire Diairies' Kendrick Sampson To Play Hottie Thug Jeremy Meeks In New Movie?

Vampire Diaries stud Kendrick Sampson just elected himself to play hottie thug Jeremy Meeks in his next feature film.

“My next role. #JeremyMeeks”, the actor tweeted, also posting a picture of Jeremy‘s mug shot.

Obviously, Kendrick was joking but if a movie (or at least a parody) is made, we think Kendrick is the perfect guy to do it. The physical similarities are uncanny.


Jeremy‘s mug shot became a viral sensation because of his criminally-good looks. He was picked up in a gun sweep in Stockton, California, for felony weapon charges on Wednesday.

Kiesza for Fendi Color Block Eyewear collection + upcoming U.S. debut on Letterman

0

Kiesza announces her unapologetically dance-ready debut EP Hideaway (Island Records/4th and B’way/Lokal Legend), hitting July 8. Her hit single “Hideaway” rocketed to the #1 spot in the UK charts earlier this year as the fastest-selling debut of year, while her serious vocal range has critics fawning.

Kiesza’s one-take video for the first single, “Hideaway,” celebrates the timelessness of early house music and Kiesza‘s particular flavor of throwback dancing, and over 34 million viewers seem to agree. She brings that energy to a performance on The Late Show With David Letterman on July 9.

“Hideaway” continues to spread vivaciously around the world. It has reached #1 on iTunes charts in 14 countries and #3 on the global Shazam chart. While Kiesza‘s “decidedly hands-in-the-air optimistic dance vibe” (FADER) is fresh to most, Kiesza has been at it since she was 17: dancing, song-writing, playing various instruments and attending Berklee School of Music on full scholarship. Kiesza always had music in her soul, training in ballet for more than a decade. Her mom also assembled a Jackson Five tribute band with Kiesza and her brothers, as Michael Jackson is one of her biggest influences.

Her path is not the norm, as she’s gone from a code breaker in Royal Canadian Navy (who attempted to recruit the sharp-shot as a sniper) to the face of FENDI’s Color Block sunglasses.

Kiesza also recently performed at Canada’s Much Music Video Awards, along with Ed Sheeran, Imagine Dragons, and Lorde.


Globetrotting like never before, Kiesza has also been busy on the festival circuit. From UK’s The Great Escape and Glastonbury Festival to Toronto’s North By Northeast, she’s been on the road with her deep house cuts and shimmering soulful melodies. The Evening Standard said of her recent performance at XOYO, “Kiesza vogued like Madonna…The Canadian stepped back into another musical era that felt fresh and vital.”

True Blood's Final Season: Where Were We and What's Next? + LIVE VIEWING POST

Goodbyes suck!

True Blood returns for its seventh and final season Sunday (9/8c, HBO) and picks up just moments after most of the townspeople of Bon Temps gathered in support of the "One Vampire-One Human" movement that paired people up in exchange for clean blood and protection. But a horde of Hep-V-infected vamps were about to close in and surely cause chaos in the little backwoods parish. Sadly, you shouldn't expect everyone to survive the inevitable clash. It is the final season, after all!

So, what's in store for Sookie & Co. before the HBO fantasy drama meets its true death? TVGuide.com offers up this quick refresher on where we left off and a juicy tease about what to expect in the final season:



Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin)
Where Were We? After Sookie is saved from fae-vampire hybrid Warlow (RobKazinsky), a six-month time jump reveals that she's now dating Alcide.
What's Next? The couple is still going strong, but trust issues start to develop... perhaps for good reason! When Sookie begins to hide part of her life from Alcide, another man is definitely involved. Could it be one of her old flames?

Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer)
Where Were We? Billith's magical vampire powers disappeared and he's now a bestselling author thanks to his book about the Governor's invention of Hep-V.
What's Next? The conflict with the Hep-V vamps forces Bill to allign with yet another distrustful human. Also expect to get another look into his pre-vamp past.

Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard)
Where Were We? Eric released his powers over his progeny Pam, but also sired a new vamp, Willa (Amelia Rose Blaire). Also, when Warlow died, the power to walk in the sun stopped working at the most inopportune time for Eric, who was sunbathing nude atop a Swedish mountain.
What's Next? Eric is MIA when friends seek him out, but he has a huge secret he's hiding. Also, expect to see him and a familiar face get hot and heavy for a mind-blowing romp in the sack.

Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell)
Where Were We? After knocking up his activist girlfriend Nicole (JurneeSmollett-Bell), Sam gives the bar to Arlene and is elected mayor of Bon Temps.
What's Next? The townsfolk look to their mayor for answers when the going gets tough, but the shifter will be torn between his responsibilities to his constituents and girlfriend. Also, has someone discovered Sam's supernatural secret?

Jason Stackhouse (Ryan Kwanten)
Where Were We? Jason helped to kill Warlow and also has a new vamp girlfriend Violet (Karolina Wydra), whom he met in the internment camp. Problem is, she's incredibly jealous ... and doesn't exactly reciprocate in the sack.
What's Next? Poor Jason's sexual frustrations will reach a boiling point, but he'll get a little distraction from his duties as a cop. Also expect to see him exhibit a deliciously surprising skill that will aid a vital investigation.

Tara Thornton (Rutina Wesley)
Where Were We? Free of the vampire internment camp — which she entered with Eric to save her maker Pam — Tara reconciled with her mother Lettie Mae (Adina Porter) in a bid to protect her.
What's Next? "For Tara, we're going to see whether or not she can really forgive her mother and if they can work out their issues that they have," Wesley says.

Pam De Beaufort (Kristin Bauer van Straten)
Where Were We? After being set free from the vampire internment camp, Pam went in search of her maker Eric, who quickly disappeared after gaining the ability to walk in the sun.
What's Next? Pam's quest for Eric will take her far and wide, and woe to those who get in her way! But without a dedicated source of clean blood, her explorations could be derailed before she even gets close.

Alcide Herveaux (Joe Manganiello)
Where Were We? After severing ties with his pack, the werewolf is now happily dating Sookie.
What's Next? Since Sookie never paired up with a vamp for protection, Alcide takes it upon himself to keep her safe... but only if he can keep an eye on her!

Lafayette Reynolds (Nelsan Ellis)
Where Were We? He was entrusted to basically fill Arlene in on the truth that Terry (Todd Lowe) had himself killed and left her a big insurance payout. He's now working at Bellefleur's (formerly known as Merlotte's).
What's Next? Lafayette will be tested emotionally, but fortunately he'll make an attractive new friend who will give him perspective. With all the chaos going on with the Hep-V vamps, his skills as a medium could be called into play.

Jessica Hamby (Deborah Ann Woll)
Where Were We? Repenting for killing Andy's three other faerie daughters, Jessica pledged to protect the surviving daughter Adilyn from the Hep-V vampires. She also snagged herself a cute vamp boyfriend, James (Nathan Parsons).
What's Next? Jessica is unwavering in her resolve to atone. Woll tells TVGuide.com, "There's a lot of guilt she's got to get over, and I think she's going to try whatever she can to make it up to Andy and Adilyn."

Andy Bellefleur (Chris Bauer)
Where Were We? The sheriff was saddled with four fast-growing faerie children, three of whom were killed by Jessica. (Those fae are just irresistibly yummy!) On the plus side, he struck up a relationship with Holly (Lauren Bowles).
What's Next? "Going into this season, Andy's scared," Bauer says. "He's stretched beyond his limits, and he is not going to go about solving his problems the same way. He's willing to work with others." As for his love life, Bowles adds, "There's almost no time for personal dynamics when you're really literally running for your life when there's sort of Armageddon around you. It really helped to solidify anything that may have been a complication."

Arlene Fowler (Carrie Preston)
Where Were We? She learned that her husband Terry had himself killed, but at least he left behind a hefty insurance policy, allowing her to buy Merlotte's and turn it into Bellefleur's.
What's Next? "It's pretty terrifying, and Arlene gets thrown into quite a perilous circumstance that is scary," Preston says. "But Arlene is the strongest one in the room, no matter where she is or what's going on, so she definitely draws on that strength."

What do you want to see in the final season? Who should live? Who will probably die?

Whose Eggs is the Lizard King Fertilizing?

Sherlock Holmes has reportedly solved the mystery of how to find true love. According to PBS head Rebecca Eaton, "Sherlock" star Benedict Cumberbatch has a girlfriend now.

Eaton dropped the bomb earlier this week, The New York Post reported. "She wouldn’t say whom the 'Sherlock' actor has met, but she said it’s time for all those 'Cumberb---hes' — the name used by his huge base of female followers — to move on," it read.
Cumberbatch, 37, has been single since 2012, when he broke up with British fashion designer Anna James. He did, however, reveal what he finds sexy in the September 2013 of ELLE Japan.

"A woman who knows that she doesn’t have to get all decked out to look good is sexy. A woman who can make you feel smart with her conversation skills is also sexy. I believe the sense of humour is important," he said."I also think someone who is good at working with others is sexy. It’s like playing a tennis doubles match. You need to be able to work well together if you are to stay as partners for a long time."

So, who is Cumberbatch's secret love? We have a few theories:



Dakota Johnson

The likeliest candidate is this "50 Shades of Grey" star, who was spotted having lunch with Cumberbatch in New York in May. Both actors had attended the 2014 Met Ball the day before, and Cumberbatch seemed to be having a whale of a time, covering his face with napkins to make Johnson and her friend laugh.

Yasmine Akram

The actress played Janine, Sherlock's girlfriend, on the most recent season of his show, and their on-screen kiss earlier this year clearly left a lasting impression on Yasmine Akram. “It was lovely and very soft,” she told RadioTimes.com. “It was absolutely lovely." She also said another kiss with the actor would be tops on her list of things to do on an afternoon.

Katia Elizarova

Rumours swirled last summer that Cumberbatch was dating this Russan model after he was spotted kissing her at a wedding in Ibiza. But, according to him, they are just "old friends." Still, things change!

Olivia Poulet

Cumberbatch may have broken up with the British actress in 2010 but he admitted last year that, after 12 years together, she will always have a place in his heart. "It happened very gradually, very mutually. We’re still very good friends. There was no acrimony," he told Vogue last year of their split. "I love her, adore her, always will.”

Kristen Bell's Go-To Workout is Hiking

0
0


When it comes to fitness, Kristen Bell keeps it in the family.

“My go-to workout is usually hiking,” Bell, 33, told PEOPLE at the American Express Epic EveryDay Getaway with Soul Cycle in New York on Friday.

And while the actress does a lot of hiking with friends, her cutest exercise companion is 15-month-old daughter Lincoln.

“I often will strap the baby to my chest for the hike,” Bell says. (Maybe Lincoln’s the secret behind the first-time mom’s amazing body after baby?)

With her busy work schedule, Bell notes combining fitness and family time with Lincoln and husband Dax Shepard, 39, has become an effective (and enjoyable!) solution.

“[Hiking] is easy because sometimes it doesn’t actually take me away from anything because my whole family’s coming on the hike,” Bell says.


As for her growing little girl, Bell’s still smitten. “She’s delicious. It’s such a fun age,” she says. “I feel like having a toddler is exhausting and extremely rewarding — and far more rewarding than exhausting.”

What's next for HBIC/DILF Chris Argent?

0

In Season 2 of “Teen Wolf,” we learned that women were the rightful leaders of the Argent family, and werewolf hunter Chris Argent used to be surrounded by them. His wife Victoria was fierce and determined (and, let’s be honest, CRAZY); his daughter, Allison, was bold yet compassionate. But now, both are gone, and excluding his sociopathic sister, Kate, who’s poised to make her Beacon Hills return, Chris’ family is no longer.

When we first met the man with a penchant for silver, Chris was brash, uncompromising and stern, and got his kicks taunting the werewolves around town whenever he could. What’s more, after discovering that his little girl was dating a werewolf, he freaked out and nearly killed young Scott McCall to stop the relationship.

Slowly, though, as Allison assumed a more prominent position among her family’s militia, Chris began to trust her more. As if by osmosis, he became gentler (at one point, it was he who talked Allison down from violent, vengeful behavior!). When he deliberately set beta werewolves Boyd and Erica free from his father Gerard’s grip at the end of Season 2 — even though their leader Derek had given his wife “the bite” — Chris proved he was a changed man.

By Season 3, Chris vowed to stay out of all supernatural battles, saying he’d been through too much to keep the fight alive. Allison tried to offer some perspective, and said that if he couldn’t fight for his wife, at least he could fight for Allison’s friends. He was reluctant, but when his daughter needed him most, he sacrificed himself to Jennifer, The Darach, to protect the teens. Luckily, Jennifer was taken out before she had the chance to kill her new prisoner.

By the time the Nogitsune had reared its ugly head (seriously, that thing was unsightly) in Beacon Hills, Chris’ tie to Allison was stronger than ever. And when the mythical being captured Lydia, the father and daughter seemed readier than ever for war.

While creating molds for her own brand of silver arrowheads in preparation, Allison took the opportunity to say to her father what she’d never had the chance to say to her mother: “I love you. I’m proud of you. I’m proud of us.”

As you undoubtedly remember, Allison managed to take out an otherwise-unstoppable Oni with her bow. And though she fought bravely, the fight for Lydia was her last, and her death understandably shook Chris to his core. So, considering his long and depressing path, will he change now that Allison’s gone, and revert back to his harsher ways? Or will the impression Allison left on her father be a lasting one, helping Chris to remain a more virtuous man?

JR Bourne, the actor behind the character, told Huffington Post Canada yesterday that when Chris returns to Beacon Hills, he’ll definitely be out of sorts.

“He comes back extremely messed up, confused about where to direct his anger, his vengeance and what to do with it,” he told the site. “Season Three, he started to be passive, not get involved. He attempted that, but that didn’t go over well. Now he’s back, it’s ‘What the f**k? What do I do? Where do I go?’”

“…He is no longer a father and he is no longer a husband, but there still is a human nature in him, which I think he’s learned because of his daughter being in love with a werewolf,” Bourne added.
