‘Dancing With The Stars’ Recap: Final Four Dance For The Win

Tue, 21 May 2013 00:00:00 -0400

Dancing With the Stars' last four remaining celebrity contestants Kellie Pickler, Jacoby Jones, Aly Raisman and Zendaya Coleman each danced three dances on Tuesday night. The three dances included a judges’ pick, a “cha cha relay” and a “super sized” freestyle routine.

For the judges’ pick, Jacoby and Karina Smirnoff performed an energetic jive. It was good, but not great and the judges gave him 9’s all around. Aly and Mark Ballas were given a samba by the judges, and they all agreed that she’s improved since the last time she performed the dance. They received 29 points. The judges picked a quickstep for Kellie and Derek Hough, a dance for which they received 29 points the last time. Even ballroom stickler Len Goodman didn't have a complaint, and the country singer got a perfect score. Finally, Zendaya and Val Chmerkovskiey took on a samba and also got a perfect score.

The cha cha relay had the four couples come out one right after the other, seamlessly taking over when the last one left off in the song. After they’d completed the relay the judges ranked them one through four: Jacoby and Karina, 4th; Aly and Mark, 3rd; Kellie and Derek, 2nd; Zendaya and Val, 1st.

Round three was the super sized free style part of the finale, and Jacoby and Karina went all out. Inspired by New Orleans and Mardi Gras, the couple were joined onstage by steppers and drummers. Again, the judges all gave him nine points. Mark decided to go daring with a routine revolved around a “vertical bar,” which meant they’d basically be pole dancing. The risk paid off as they were given a perfect score by the judges.

Next up, were Kellie and Derek who decided to replace elaborate production with an incredibly technical and emotional dance. Their stripped down contemporary routine was arguably the best performance of the night, earning them 30/30 with Goodman declaring that he’d have liked to have given them an 11. Zendaya and Val did a combination of cha cha, contemporary and hip-hop with a bunch of children as backup dancers. The also get 30/30.

At the end of the night, the standings placed Zendaya and Val in first with 1 point more than Kellie and Derek. Aly and Mark were in third with 61, followed by Jacoby and Karina in a distant fourth with 56 points.

Dancing With the Stars' results show airs tonight on ABC at 8/9c.

'Star Trek' Nude Scene: Producer Admits It Was Gratuitous, Apologizes

Tue, 21 May 2013 00:00:00 -0400

Star Trek Into Darkness features a scene in which Dr. Carol Marcus (Alice Eve) strips down to just a bra and underwear in front of Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) for no clear narrative purpose or effect.

Since the second Star Wars installment hit theaters on May 16, fans of the franchise have been speaking out against the scene. One such irritated fan was Marry Sue’s Jill Pantozzi.

“Eve’s character of Dr. Carol Marcus was touted to have incredible intelligence, though instead of allowing her to use it to effect the plot, she was used as the most blatant eye-candy I’ve seen in a long time,” Pantozzi wrote. “We see this kind of thing a lot in Hollywood, sure, but the scene in question was akin to an actor holding up and verbally speaking the name of a can of Coca-Cola during a scene about cats or general surgery.”

Damon Lindelof, the producer of Star Trek Into Darkness, took to Twitter to address the scene that many found to be blantantly sexist. “I copped to the fact that we should have done a better job of not being gratuitous in our representation of a barely clothed actress,” Lindelof wrote, adding, “We also had Kirk shirtless in underpants in both movies. Do not want to make light of something that some construe as mysogenistic [sic].

“What I’m saying is I hear you, I take responsibility and will be more mindful in the future."

It also probably didn’t help the scene’s reception that Eve’s character was virtually the only female character who had speaking lines in Star Trek Into Darkness.

George Michael Hospitalized For Crash Injuries

Tue, 21 May 2013 00:00:00 -0400

George Michael, the former Wham! singer, is still being hospitalized for injuries sustained during Thursday's car accident, reported the BBC.

Michael was a passenger in a Range Rover, when the vehicle got into a collicition near St. Albans on the M1 in Hertfordshire, England. He was airlifted from the scene to a London trauma center after paramedics found him on the road.

"Following the traffic accident on Thursday, we can confirm that he is still in hospital,” said Michael’s spokesperson."We are keen to stress it's purely as a precaution for observation.

"He did suffer a couple of bumps and bruises to the head and that's why they are keeping him in - to keep an eye on him. He is doing better. He is making good progress and is looking forward to getting out."

Michael had been entirely conscious throughout his treatment at the scene, and no injuries had been deemed life threatening, according to East of England Ambulance Service’s Gary Sanderson.

San Francisco To Host 50th Super Bowl, Houston 51st

Tue, 21 May 2013 00:00:00 -0400

The 50^th Super Bowl will be held in San Francisco, and the 51^st NFL championship game in 2017 will take place in Houston, reported The New York Times.

On Tuesday, team owners sat down to a vote to determine which teams would host the L and LI Super Bowl matchups. They ultimately decided to go with the new 49ers stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., that will be completed sometime before the league’s 2014 season. The 49ers haven’t hosted the NFL championship game since 1985, when the game was held at Stanford University’s stadium

"After losing a Super Bowl [to the Baltimore Ravens], it feels really good to win a Super Bowl," San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York quipped, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Reliant Stadium, home of the Houston Texans, was granted the 51^st Super Bowl Game. The Super Bowl was last in Houston in 2004.

"I can't tell you how excited I am for Houston in being selected as the site for the 2017 Super Bowl," Texans owner Bob McNair said in a statement. "This is a worldwide stage that will be constructed in Houston and the world will be watching. It's an opportunity to showcase our wonderful city, the NFL and the Super Bowl all at the same time."

It was long-rumored that the NFL would look to host the 50^th Super Bowl in Los Angeles, the city that held the first NFL championship game. However, due to the lack of a franchise in the area, or even a suitable venue situation, the league and nostalgic fans had to give up the idea.

Next year, the Super Bowl is being held at the MetLife Stadium in the New Jersey Meadowlands. It’s the first time that the game is being played outside in a cold-weather environment. If the sporting event is successful, it’s likely that the franchises in Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Chicago and Denver will bid for the game in the future, reported ESPN.

Phoenix, home of the Arizona Cardinals, will host the 2015 game.

Zach Sobiech Dies At 18, Leaves Behind Musical Legacy

Tue, 21 May 2013 00:00:00 -0400

Zach Sobiech, the terminally ill teen whose song “Clouds” became a viral hit on YouTube, has died after a four-year battle with cancer.

Sobiech was diagnosed with osteosarcoma when he was just 14-years-old. Last May, he received the grim news that he had exhausted all treatment options and likely had only one more year to live. Around that time, Sobiech began penning song lyrics, a discovery that was made by his mother when she found a crumbled piece of paper with the original lyrics to “Clouds.”

Eventually Sobiech threw himself into his music, and launched music videos on YouTube featuring his songs. “Clouds” became a viral hit on the video-sharing site, receiving over 3 million views. Earlier this month, celebrities led by The Office’s Rainn Wilson, made a tribute video to the resilient young man in which they lip-synced Sobiech’s moving song.

"It is with heavy heart that we announce the passing of our son Zachary David Sobiech," his family said in a statement obtained by the Today Show. "Our family has been blessed not only by his amazing presence in our lives, but also by the love and support of our family and friends and by so many people in the community. In particular we'd like to thank those people who listened with their hearts and helped Zach bring his message and his music to the world."

Sobiech’s surviving family, which includes his parents Rob and Laura, and siblings Alli, Sam and Grace, asks that all memorials be offered to the Zach Sobiech Osteosarcoma Fund. All donations will be sent to the Children’s Cancer Research Fund on Sobiech’s behalf.

April Macie Claims Lance Armstrong Asker Her To Perform Lewd Sex Act

Tue, 21 May 2013 00:00:00 -0400

April Macie, the American stand-up comedian, said on a visit to the Howard Stern Show that Lance Armstrong, the disgraced professional cyclist, once asked her to perform a lewd sex act on him.

Macie, who’s a regular visitor on the shock jock’s show, claimed that she and a friend had been partying with Armstrong at an L.A. club before going back to his room at the Peninsula hotel for an after party. When she made the mistake of paying a visit to the bathroom, Macie was in for a bit of a shock.

"I went to use the bathroom, and I went in and Lance was bent over a bathtub and she was just face deep in his a--hole...I was terrified. And then he came out and said: ‘Does your friend want in on a round too?’ and I was like: 'Of taint tickling? I’m gonna take a pass'…I think it’s hilarious that he would ask without even knowing my first name—to eat his a--hole. Like: ‘Do you want in on a round too? Of a--hole eating?...I got pretty for the evening. I didn’t know he was going to ask me to eat his a--hole later on.”

The incident, which according to Macie occurred five or sex years ago, took place before the athlete was beleaguered by doping accusations. After mounting evidence backed Armstrong into a corner, he finally admitted that he had doped for years this past January.

‘Bates Motel’ Season Finale Recap: Romero Earns Norma’s Trust, Miss Watson Ends Up Dead

Tue, 21 May 2013 00:00:00 -0400

Bates Motel, the A&E drama based off of Alfred Hitchcock thriller Psycho, concluded its first season last night in a finale that leaves Norman’s teacher Miss Watson (Keegan Connor Tracy) dead in a pool of her own blood.

In its penultimate episode, Bates Motel saw Norma (Vera Farmiga) threatened by Jake Abernathy (Jere Burns), who was demanding the $150,000 he suspected her of stealing from Keith. This week, Norma seeks the help of Sheriff Romero (Nestor Carbonell), who promises to take care of the situation. Still wary, Norma looks into getting a gun, while Romero’s investigation leads him Keith's sister Maggie. He finds out that Abernathy had threatened her just as he had Norma.

After finding the $150,000 in a garage, Romero vows to keep quiet about Maggie’s involvement in the prostitution ring that stretches up the east coast if she doesn’t talk about his investigation. Romero then pulls up in his car to meet with Abernathy, bringing along the bag of cash. Abernathy asks for Norma, who had hidden behind a stack of boxes once she heard Romero approaching. Romero cuts him off, offering to let it slide if he gives him 50% of the profits before shooting him dead. Coolly, Romero then shifts his gaze over to where Norma was hiding, and says, “You can go home now, Norma. I said trust me.”

Meanwhile, Norman (Freddie Highmore) goes into Miss Watson’s office to let her know that he doesn’t want to publish his story, only to walk in on his teacher engaging in a heated phone conversation with some guy named Eric. After promising Miss Watson that he won’t repeat what he heard, he’s forced to deal with Bradley’s (Nicola Peltz) rejection. Ultimately, he comes around to the idea of bringing Emma (Olivia Cooke) to the dance, but the arrangement goes far from smoothly.

Just before Norman is about to leave for the dance, Norma decides it’s a good time to have an intense heart-to-heart. She reveals to her teenage son that she was raped by her brother from the time she was 13 until he moved out of the house. So, with that sendoff, Norman ends up being a pretty distant date – causing Emma to storm off when she repeatedly catches him staring in the direction of Bradley. He’s not without company for long though, as Bradley’s boyfriend then marches over and punches him square in the face.

After the blow to the head, Norman begins to walk home when he’s spotted by Miss Watson who offers to give him a ride. Instead of taking him directly back to Bates Motel, she brings him to her home to clean up his injuries and change. While she’s changing, Norman watches and begins to hallucinate that his mother is telling him that Miss Watson is trying to seduce him. Next thing you know, Norman is sprinting back home through the rain, arriving at the house the same time as his mother.

The final scene shifts back to Miss Watson’s apartment, where she lies dead on the floor with her throat slit. Was it Norman? Or, could it have been Eric? If Norman did it, does he even remember? Bates Motel will return with an answer and its second season in 2014.

Jodi Arias To Address Jury Before They Decide Her Fate

Tue, 21 May 2013 00:00:00 -0400

Jodi Arias, who was convicted of first-degree murder in the slaying of her boyfriend Travis Alexander earlier in the month, will address the jury that will decide her sentencing on Tuesday.

After the jury found her guilty of first-degree murder, they also ruled that her murder of Alexander, which included nearly 30 stab wounds, was “exceptionally cruel.” She had also shot him in the face and slit his throat from ear to ear.

By stating that Arias’s murder was “exceptionally cruel,” the jury established that she is eligible for the death penalty. In order for Arias to be officially sentenced with the death penalty, the jury’s decision would have to be unanimous. If after deliberations it appears as though the jury is in a deadlock, a new jury can be selected for the sentencing phase of the trial.

If the jury declines to sentence Arias to the death penalty, Judge Sherry Stephens will decide whether to sentence Arias to life in prison without the possibility of parole, or life in prison with the possibility of parole after 25 years behind bars.

Arias, who will give her statement to the jury at 12:30 p.m. ET today, declared that she would find life behind bars unbearable in an interview immediately after her conviction. "I said years ago that I'd rather get death than life, and that still is true today," she told Phoenix television station KSAZ. "I believe death is the ultimate freedom, so I'd rather just have my freedom as soon as I can get it."

Ray Manzarek, The Doors' Keyboardist, Dies At 74

Tue, 21 May 2013 00:00:00 -0400

Ray Manzarek, who served as The Doors founding keyboardist, died after an enduring battle with cancer on Monday in Germany, his publicist confirmed in a statement. He was 74.

Manzarek met Jim Morrison on Venice Beach in California on a chance encounter, and eventually founded The Doors in 1965, which went on to include drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger The iconic American rock band achieved worldwide success, selling 100 million albums and earning multiplatinum status in the U.S. for five of their records.

Although frontman and lyricist Morrison died in 1971, Manzarek and the other two surviving members continued to play as a group for two more years. In later years, Manzarek and Krieger continued to keep the music alive, touring together under their individual names but performing solely Doors songs. The Doors were inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993.

"I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of my friend and bandmate Ray Manzarek today," said Krieger. "I'm just glad to have been able to have played Doors songs with him for the last decade. Ray was a huge part of my life and I will always miss him."

In his post-Doors days, Manzarek also went on to produce the Los Angeles punk band X.

Manzarek is survived by his wife Dorothy, his son Pablo, brothers Rick and James, and three grandchildren.

'Game Of Thrones' Recap: Tyrion Marries Sansa, Dany’s Army Grows

Mon, 20 May 2013 00:00:00 -0400

Game of Thrones “The Honeymooners” had a narrower focus than some of the previous episodes this season, focusing almost exclusively on the storylines of Tyrion (Peter Dinklage), Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) and the young Arya Stark (Maisie Williams).

It started off in the woods with Arya awakening and wielding a large rock with which she plans to bludgeon her captor, The Hound (Rory McCann). He opens his eyes before she can strike him and says, “I'll give you one try, girl. Kill me and you're free. But if I live, I'll break both your hands." Wisely deciding not to try her luck, she drops the rock. As it turns out, The Hound doesn’t wish to harm the youngest Stark daughter. Instead, he plans to return her to her mother (Michelle Fairley) and brother Robb (Richard Madden) at her uncle's wedding to the Frey girl in exchange for a sum.

Outside the Yunkai walls, Daenerys continues to search for a way inside. The Yunkai have hired the Second Sons, a sellsword company whose numbers and capabilities would make it significantly more difficult for her to take the city. She arranges a meeting with their leader, Titan’s Bastard. Much as his moniker would seem to indicate, he’s a rude and crass individual that after comparing her to a prostitute he once knew, requests a full view of her naked body to see if she’d be worth fighting for. Daario, one of his lieutenants, already looks taken by The Dragon Queen.

When the Second Sons return to their tent, they debate the pleasures of whoring. Daario reveals himself to be opposed to paying for sex, preferring to sleep with women who want to have sex with him. He also avers that he fights only for beauty, and thus, only when he so desires. After Titan’s Bastard insists that they draw coins to decide who will slip into Dany’s camp to murder her, it’s Daario who draws the coin to kill. He arrives while Dany is bathing, and holds her translator Missandei with a knife at her throat. After they both promise not to scream, he releases her and reveals the heads of both of his superiors. Apparently, Daario was won over by her beauty and took it upon himself to pledge the Second Sons loyalty to her.

At King’s Landing, Tyrion makes a well-intentioned effort to comfort Sansa (Sophie Turner) about their pending nuptials, after sending a disgruntled Shae out of the room. "I didn't ask for this ... you won't be a prisoner after today, you will be my wife." Then he adds, "I suppose that's a different kind of prison." Meanwhile, Cersei (Lena Headey) and Margaery (Natalie Dormer) walk amiably arm-in-arm in the Sept of Baelor. Margaery, feeling unduly comfortable and confident with the steely Lannister woman, suggests that the marriages to come will make them sisters of a certain kind. After creating a horrifying parallel between the Tyrell’s and the last second-richest family to grasp for greater power, Cersei seethes, “You ever call me sister again, I’ll have you strangled in your sleep.” Margaery looks appropriately frightened.

The wedding that follows is all manners of awkwardness. First of all, the evil-veined Joffrey (Jack Gleeson), who had Sansa’s father killed, takes the role of jauntily walking her down the aisle. He then swipes Tyrion’s stool, thereby forcing him to whisper at Sansa to ask her to kneel so he could place the marriage cloak over her shoulders. At the reception that follows, Tyrion is embracing the label of a drunkard, sloshing wine about in his goblet. Tywin (Charles Dance) approaches him to remind him that he needs to put a child into Sansa, and shouldn’t be too drunk to perform.

As if it couldn’t get any worse, Joffrey, after threatening to rape Sansa when Tyrion’s asleep, declares that there must be a public bedding ceremony. Tyrion’s response? He drives a knife into the table and threatens his king nephew, shouting, “Then you’ll be f—king your own bride with a wooden c—k.“ Thankfully, Tywin is there to defuse Joffrey, and Tyrion is sensible enough to concede it was nothing by a silly joke by his impish drunk uncle who's not so well-endowed. When Tyrion and Sansa do walk off to the bedchamber, the 14-year-old begins to disrobe. It appears as though Tyrion considers obliging his father’s wishes, but the better man inside him wins out. "I won't share your bed ... not until you want me to," Tyrion says. When Shae (Sibel Kekilli) comes the next morning with breakfast and to take the sheets, she smirks when she realizes they’re clean.

Meanwhile, Stannis (Stephen Dillane) contemplates the murder of Robert’s bastard Gendry (Joe Dempsie), and allows Melisandra (Carice van Houten) to seduce the young man with food, wine and sex. After she straps him to the bed she subjects him to blood-letting by leaches. However, it appears as though the ill treatment will stop there, as a visit to Davos (Liam Cunningham) in the dungeons convinces Stannis against killing his nephew by blood. The would-be king also decides to release Davos. And, North of the Wall, the hapless Samwell (John Bradley) is put to the test when a White Walker threatens Gilly (Hannah Murray) and her baby. When his sword crumbles in the White Walker’s hands who continues on for the inbred baby, Sam chases after him with a shard of dragonglass and jabs it into the creatures back. The White Walker splinters like ice.

Game of Thrones will return Sunday, June 2 on HBO at 9/8c with its penultimate episode of the season.

Texting Likely Cause Of First-Time Driver’s Fatal Accident

Mon, 20 May 2013 00:00:00 -0400

Savannah Nash, a 16-year-old first-time driver, was believed to have been texting when she got into a fatal accident with a tractor-trailer on Thursday, according to authorities.

Nash had asked her parents if she could drive to the local grocery store in Harrisonville, Mo., to pick up groceries for the night’s dinner. On her way to the store, she crashed her vehicle into a tractor-trailer, and died at the scene according to WAFB-TV.

She had apparently turned left into the path of the truck, according to investigators. Investigators also said that they found an unsent message on Nash’s cell phone and conjecture that it may have caused the accident, reported the Democrat- Missourian newspaper.

“There was a text message that was on her phone, however it was not sent yet,” Sgt. Bill Lowe of the Missouri state Highway Patrol told Fox4KC.com. “That is a probable contributing circumstance to the crash. That’s all part of the investigation.”

There was a vigil for Nash on Friday that took place at Harrisonville High School, where she was a freshman honor roll student.

Gillian Anderson Turned Down Role In ‘Downton Abbey’

Mon, 20 May 2013 00:00:00 -0400

Gillian Anderson, the X-Files actress who’s been named "Sexiest Woman Alive" by FHM magazine, turned down a role in Masterpiece Theatre hit Downton Abbey because she didn’t want to be far from her family.

"My 18-year-old cannot believe that I would turn down Game Of Thrones or Downton — things she loves to watch,” she told the Mail Online. “But if I am going to be spending that amount of time working on something I would rather be working with a director like Martin Scorsese."

Anderson stars in BBC Two drama, The Fall, as Detective Superintendent Stella Gibson. The character isn’t too much of a stretch for Anderson, who made a name for herself playing FBI Agent Dana Scully on the X-Files. Of her new law enforcement character the actress says, “If Stella finds a man attractive, she doesn’t hesitate to make the first move. I quite like that in a woman, I’ve discovered. I like the way Stella is so sexually confident but there are consequences to that, as you’ll see over the serial.

"She’s much more feminine than Scully ever was," she added.

Although Anderson has nothing but positive things to say about her new project, The Fall was almost another casualty of her selectivity. After parts in the BBC adaptation of Great Expectations and Lady Dedlock in Bleak House, she’d yet to take on a lengthy commitment since X-Files because of her children. When she saw that Prime Suspect 2 writer Allan Cubbit was behind it and had penned it with her in mind, she brokered a deal with producers that would allow her to return home each weekend during filming.

The Fall, after attracting over 3.5 million viewers in its first week, is already planning to have a sophomore season.

Stefon Marries Anderson Cooper During Bill Hader’s Final 'Saturday Night Live' Show

Mon, 20 May 2013 00:00:00 -0400

Bill Hader’s Stefon character, the flamboyand New York City nightlife correspondent who frequented the Weekend Update desk, rushed off to marry Anderson Cooper during the Saturday Night Live veteran's final evening on the NBC improv show.

While Stefon was chatting with Seth Meyers and the returning Amy Poehler, he got visibly exasperated. Meyers was trying to get Stefon, who had gone rogue with his time on the air, back on topic. “You know what, you don’t respect me, Seth,” he spat as he ran off the set. After seeing Meyers struggling to choke out his news commentary, Poehler suggests he follow him.

Meyers arrives at the church and screams, “Stefon!” Stefon, Cooper and all the zany characters Stefon has mentioned over the years turn around.

David Beckham Sheds Tears At Final Home Match

Mon, 20 May 2013 00:00:00 -0400

David Beckham, the English-born soccer star, had tears rolling off his face as he walked off the pitch following his final home match for Paris St. Germain. Just last week, the 38-year-old announced his intention to retire from the sport.

Beckham, who was made captain of Paris Saint-Germain squad for the night, led the French Ligue 1 team to a 3-1 victory over Brest for his last game as a professional soccer player. At the 82-minute mark, Beckham was overcome with the emotion of the end of a career that lasted an incredible 847 games. As coach Carlo Ancelotti called him off the pitch, the crowd of nearly 45,000 gave him a standing ovation. On his way off, he hugged both teammates and opponents alike.

With the names of his children Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper on his boots, and his wife Victoria Beckham in the stands, Beckham left the game on a high note and on his own terms. He’s won league championships with each of his four club teams – Manchester United, Real Madrid, the Los Angeles Galaxy and PSG. While playing for his country, Beckham served as captain and earned the record for the most international appearances.

"Thanks to everyone in Paris, to all of my teammates, the staff and fans," said Beckham during the post game celebrations, according to CNN.

"It's been very special to finish my career here.”

'Mad Men' Recap: A Speed Trip Reminds Don Of Miss Swenson

Mon, 20 May 2013 00:00:00 -0400

Man Men’s “The Crash" shows Don (Jon Hamm), Peggy (Elisabeth Moss) and the joint crew of SCDP and CGC spending a weekend together trying to come up with a new idea for the Chevy ad campaign, as all their previous efforts have been rejected. However, Don’s mind is elsewhere; he’s more concerned with trying to wrap Sylvia back into their sordid affair. When he comes back home, he finds that Sally (Kiernan Shipka) and Bobby (Jared Gilmore) were endangered by a home intruder who had claimed to be their grandmother.

Since they’ve yet to come up with an ad campaign that’s satisfied Chevy executives, SCDP/ CGC are running scared, and the Chevy big wigs' hard partying ways are endangering staff members. Ken (Aaron Staton), while schmoozing with the execs, found himself riding in a car of drunken men. The incident led him to return to the office with a cane and an injured leg. Taking things into his own hands, Jim Cutler (Harry Hamlin) invites Dr. Shelly Hecht to inject the uninspired staff with a vitamin cocktail that would give them, "24 to 72 hours of uninterrupted creative focus, energy and confidence."

And down the rabbit hole went the staff. Stan tried to hook up with Peggy, but she turned him down so he settled for Frank Gleason’s (Craig Anton) daughter Wendy. Don was tossed back to a memory of Miss Swenson, the prostitute who confused mothering with sex in the young Dick Whitman. Don realizes in step with the audience that his preoccupation with Sylvia (Linda Cardellini) comes from her resemblance to Miss Swenson, the hooker who both took care of him and took his virginity.

On Monday morning, after Don is confronted by the terror that visited his children over the weekend, and a silent elevator ride with Sylvia, whom he now knows is a toxic attraction for him, he arrives back at the office. Ted (Kevin Rahm) is displeased, because counter to what Jim had planned, nothing productive was achieved. “Half of this work is gibberish,” he spits. “Chevy is spelled wrong.” Don’s response, as it was with the home invasion and also with the realization of the root of his feelings for Sylvia, is detachment. Instead of throwing himself into devising a new ad, the great creative brain opts to sit on the sidelines, telling Ted he’s going to take an evaluative role on the campaign going forward.

Betty (January Jones), meanwhile, has transformed back to the slim beauty of seasons past. After struggling for over a year with her weight, she shed the pounds upon learning that husband Henry (Christopher Stanley) would be running for political office. All she needed was the motivation of the spotlight.

Mad Men airs Sundays on AMC at 10/9c.

Miguel Lands On Fans At Billboard Music Awards

Mon, 20 May 2013 00:00:00 -0400

Miguel leapt into the fans at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards on Sunday during his performance of hit single “Adorn,” accidentally landing on a couple of unsuspecting young women. One of the women was struck in the head by the R&B singer’s right leg and knocked against the stage.

“Got caught up in the moment, thank goodness Khyati is okay,” Miguel tweeted afterwards about the victim of his stage leap.

Soon after the onstage incident, Miguel and Kyahti were interviewed backstage together as she held ice to her injured arm. "I'm very happy to bring my new friend, Khyati, we just met," Miguel told Billboard magazine. "Unfortunately, we did not meet under the best circumstances, but I think we're okay.”

When asked what she thought of Miguel, Kyati quipped, “I ‘Adorn’ him.”

WWE Extreme Rules: Brock Lesnar, The Shield & Dean Ambrose Win

Mon, 20 May 2013 00:00:00 -0400

During the WWE Extreme Rules pay-per-view event on Sunday, Brock Lesnar defeated Triple H in a cage match for the main event.

Other big wins of the event included Dean Ambrose's, who won the U.S. title with his win over Kofi Kingston with a headlock driver. The tag team titles went to Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins of The Shield, who took down Team Hell No. Randy Orton, who hails from St. Louis, won against Big Show in front of his hometown.

John Cena and Ryback fought back and forth around the ring in a last man standing contest. It ended in a "no contest" despite Ryback making it back to his feet while Cena was taken off the stage by a stretcher.

Less remarkable matches included, the opener with Chris Jericho beating Fandango. Alberto Del Rio’s win over Jack Swagger and Sheamus’s besting of Mark Henry were also less satisfying WWE match-ups.

In the pre show, The Miz won against Cody Rhodes.

Billboard Music Awards: Taylor Swift Wins Big, Justin Bieber Booed

Mon, 20 May 2013 00:00:00 -0400

Taylor Swift dominated the 2013 Billboard Music awards, winning eight of 11 awards for which she was nominated, including top artist and top Billboard album for Red. Swift also performed during the night, taking to the stage to sing her hit “22.” When receiving one of her many awards the country pop star told the audience, “You are the longest and best relationship I ever had.”

Behind Swift for the most wins were Gotye and Rihanna, who tied for second with four awards a piece. Both Maroon 5 and fun. were nominated for 11 awards, but received only one each during the show’s pre-telecast announcements.

Justin Bieber, who performed twice during the awards show, won three awards: top male artist, social artist and the fan-voted milestone award. Beating both Swift and Bruno Mars, he took to the stage to accept the milestone award only to be met with boos from the crowd. He responded to the jeers, saying, “I'm 19 years old; I think I'm doing a pretty good job. And basically from my heart I really just want to say it should really be about the music, it should be about the craft that I'm making. This is not a gimmick," he said. "I'm an artist and I should be taken seriously and all this other bull should not be spoken."

Performances of the night included Selena Gomez singing new single “Come & Get It,” Macklemore & Ryan Lewis entertaining with “Thrift Shop,” and Chris Brown seeming to struggle through a performance of “Fine China.” Most notably, Prince, who rarely gives public performances, treated the audience with a medley of his hits while rocking out on the guitar in a flashy turquoise and purple outfit.

Miguel also had a memorable moment at the Billboard Music Awards. During his performance of "Adorn," he came up short on a leap and landed on one woman and kicked another in the audience.

Hofstra Student Andrea Rebello Killed By Police Gunfire

Sun, 19 May 2013 00:00:00 -0400

Hofstra student Andrea Rebello, 21, was killed by police gunfire during a standoff between authorities and a home invasion suspect, according to Nassau County, New York police spokesperson Maureen Roach.

The intruder was holding a gun to Rebello’s head in her Uniondale off-campus house on Friday when authorities fired eight shots in the direction of the suspect, reported CNN. One of those shots hit Rebello in the head and killed her, reported Roach.

The intruder, identified by authorities as Dalton Smith, 30, was also killed in the confrontation.

When the officer arrived at the scene of the home invasion, Smith had his gun held to Rebello’s head. After telling the officer he was going to kill her, he redirected his aim towards the officer. According to Roach, the officer began to fear for his life and fired. Authorities have yet to identify the officer.

Smith was wanted by authorities for jumping parole; a warrant for his arrest was issued on April 25. He had a criminal history that included robbery, assault and promoting prison contraband. Smith was currently on parole for first-degree robbery, which meant he was either armed with a deadly weapon or had caused bodily injury during or while fleeing the robbery.

Robello was a junior at Hofstra University, majoring in public relations. "Our hearts and minds and our thoughts and prayers are with her family, her friends and her classmates," the university said in a statement.

Kevin Venturi, Champion Golfer & Commentator, Dies At 82

Sun, 19 May 2013 00:00:00 -0400

Kevin Venturi, a longtime golf commentator who won the 1964 US. Open, died on Saturday after suffering for weeks with infections and pneumonia. He was 82.

Over the last several years, Venturi was plagued with multiple health issues. He survived prostate cancer in 2000, only to require quintuple bypass surgery in 2006. Heart problems resurfaced for the onetime golfer in 2011. Over the last few weeks, Venturi had been hospitalized at a Southern California hospital with infections in his back and intestine, in addition to pneumonia. His death was reported by his son, Matt Venturi.

At the 1964 US. Open at Congressional, the temperatures rose into the triple digits. During the 36-hole tournament, Venturi began to suffer from signs of heatstroke, and despite urgings from doctors to quit, he continued on to victory. Due to his outstanding display of drive and athleticism, he was named PGA Player of the Year and also Sports Illustrated’s Sportsman of the Year.

Shortly after his U.S Open win, Venturi was forced to retire from the green because of issues with carpal tunnel syndrome. He stayed in the world of golf by getting into broadcasting the sport for CBS. When he retired from the job in 2002, he had been commentating for 35 years, the longest of any profession broadcaster in any sport.

Venturi was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame earlier in May. He is survived by his wife, Kathleen; sons Matt and Tim; and four grandchildren.

Eurovision Song Contest Won By Denmark's Emmelie de Forest

Sun, 19 May 2013 00:00:00 -0400

The annual Eurovision Song Contest was won by Emmelie de Forest of Denmark, whose folk-inspired ballad “Only Teardrops” trumped the song submissions from the runners up who hailed from Azerbaijan and Ukraine.

"It's fantastic. It's indescribable to win for your country," de Forest told Danish broadcaster DR upon winning. "I think this will be fantastic for me and my career."

De Forest, 20, was a favorite going into the competition, which tends to skew in the favor of the contestants from Nordic countries. Finland won in 2006, Norway in 2009 and 2011’s winning song was written by a Swedish duo. Sweden has been known to be the country that places the most emphasis on the song contest since ABBA’s win in 1974.

While many people stateside might be unfamiliar with the Eurovision Song Contest, it happens to be one of the most-watched TV events in the world. It averages around 120 million viewers, which is more than watches either the Academy Awards or Super Bowl.

Since the Danish de Forest was victorious at the Swedish-hosted 2013 Eurovision Song Contest, Denmark will have the honor of hosting the high-profiled event for the 2014 competition.

'Le Presse' Wins Raves For Restrained Drama

Sun, 19 May 2013 00:00:00 -0400

Le Passé (The Past), the newest film from director Asghar Farhadi, the director of the hit Iranian film A Separation, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on Friday. Le Passé is a drama about a separated couple who reunite to finalize their divorce. The wife, played by Bérénice Bejo from the Oscar winning film The Artist, lives in France, the husband, played by Ali Mosaffa, lives in Iran.

Le Passé was well received at Cannes and has been wracking up rave reviews. “It is an intricate and often brilliant drama with restrained and intelligent performances; there is an elegantly patterned mosaic of detail, unexpected plot turns, suspenseful twists and revelations,” wrote The Guardian.

“The Past… vaults [Farhadi] securely onto world cinema’s A-list. Indeed, Farhadi may be the greatest pure dramatist in the world right now—our closest equivalent to such old-school titans as Chekhov, Ibsen, and Strindberg,” raved The AV Club.

Le Passé could very well win the Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

'Heli' Shocks Cannes Audiences With Graphic Violence

Sun, 19 May 2013 00:00:00 -0400

Heli, a Mexican film competing for the Palme d’Or from director Amat Escalante, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on Thursday. Heli is a gritty drama about the devastating impact drug violence has on a family in Mexico. The film made waves at the Festival due to its frank depiction of violence. One particular scene contained a graphic sequence in which a man gets his penis burned off. Some audience members were so shocked by the unforgiving violence that they walked out of the screening. Escalante stands by his film, defending what he believes is an honest portrayal of extremely violent current events. “If I’m going to show violence, I’m going to give it the weight it should have,” Escalante told reporters.

Heli certainly has people talking, a fact that makes Escalante and co-writer Gabriel Reyes proud. “It would be very socially irresponsible not to talk about those bad things that are happening in our country. I think if we never talk about the bad things then problems might never be solved,” said Reyes.

Heli is the only Latin American film in the competition for the Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. It follows the story of what happens after a young girl falls in love with a police cadet, dragging the family into a drug war.
