In case you haven’t heard, a certain President of the United States of America appeared this morning on The View. Of course what most people were thinking about before his appearance is how he’d get along with staunch Republican Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Strangely enough she kept fairly quiet, and Obama looked extremely comfortable with it all.
Now what did they discuss? Not everything was about politics, that I can assure you. They talked about his Blackberry (which everyone knows he loves and it hasn’t played that much of a role since he took over presidency) and pop culture (he knows Lindsay Lohan is in jail, and wouldn’t comment on Mel Gibson or Jersey Shore character Snookie). He did tell the hosts that he chose The View for an appearance because the first lady Michelle is a fan of the show.
On the political side of things, he said that race is still an issue in America, as is evident by the whole Shirley Sherrod controversy that he called phony. He also commented on how people think he’s had it tough in the White House by saying it’s the people of America who’ve had it tough by losing their jobs and having financial problems, not him.
Overall it was a good appearance, and one that will surely appeal to Americans. He’s the first sitting President to appear on the show, and it brings him down to the level of the people.
After the shocking conclusion to season 4, fans of the hit HBO series Dexter have been waiting for word as to when the next season is set to begin. Well wait no further, it’s been announced that season 5 will start on September 26th, 2010.
We know that Julia Stiles has joined the cast for 10 episodes as Dexter’s new love interest. Also joining the cast for season 5 are Shawn Hatosy in a villain role, Maria Doyle Kennedy as a nanny, and Robocop himself Peter Weller who will appear in eight of the twelve episodes as a troubled cop.
The biggest news however is the trailer that was released over the weekend at the San Diego comic con. It’s everything you expect it to be.
Sunday at San Diego’s Comic Con, Glee creator Ryan Murphy took the spotlight and answered some of the fans most pressing questions.
Season 2 will begin with the members of New Directions returning to a new school year at McKinely High as even bigger losers due to their placing third in the regionals. They are faced with a tough road, but the basic theme of the season will be “Do you have what it takes to win.”
People magazine reports “Tina is going to fall out of love with Artie and in love with Mike,” Murphy revealed. And fans of a Brittany-Santana love connection may have something to look forward to as writers are considering an episode where Santana and Brittany kiss, Murphy said.”
Rumors that were addressed include an appearance on the show by Justin Timberlake (not going to happen), performances of Britney Spears songs (six songs are scheduled, and perhaps the singer may appear in the episode as well), a tribute to the Rocky Horror Picture Show (the cast did an impromptu performance at the comic con), a motion picture deal (not going to happen yet, way too early), scaling back on the flashy musical numbers to increase the intimacy of the show (unfortunately this rumor is true), and the return of favourites Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth (just not as regulars).
A lot is on the plate for the hit show, and all of it will definitely keep the fans interested for the entire season.
The second last episode of The Bachelorette has arrived and it promises to be a good one as the long waited twist that everyone all ready knows about arrives; Frank is still in love with his ex Nicole.
We begin with the trip to Tahiti, the site of tonight’s dates. You can’t get much more romantic than that can you? Chris tells us that he may be falling in love with Ali, and that he had to prepare himself for the possibility of losing her to one of the other two guys. Roberto likes his chances. He says the family visit went really well, and he likes where things are headed. He too dislikes the possibility of losing. Frank on the other hand says that he always knew he’d be there at the end, but he also says he still has feeling for his ex-girlfriend Nicole. He thinks she still feels something for him too, and he’s torn because of it. He decides to head to Chicago to see her before heading to Tahiti.
Frank’s visit with Nicole ends with him deciding to return to her. She lets him know that she still cares for him, and doesn’t want to see him with any one else. He completes her. Frank does however say that he needs to go to Tahiti to let Ali know in person of what he has decided.
In Tahiti, Roberto gets the first date. Ali imagines that he will look even hotter there. They share a few kisses to start, and then make their way to a waiting helicopter. When they land they have a picnic by a heart shaped lagoon, before making out in their swimsuits. It’s definitely a hot date! Later, when they meet up for dinner Roberto is visibly nervous as he tells Ali how he feels about her. She smiles at him before kissing some more, then gives him a key to her fantasy suite where they spend the night together.
The date with Chris begins with a boat ride. They share a beer and talk about how things went with his family. They appear to have a great time as they laugh and kiss, before jumping into the water and swimming to a nearby island. Once on the island they find some clams, which they open to find the pearls inside. Their dinner is on a secluded island. They have a clambake, and Chris opens up, saying he can see Ali in his life forever. She smiles at him, and gives him an invitation to the fantasy suite. Wow, that’s two men in two nights.
Frank arrives in Tahiti nervous about having to tell Ali that he’s dropping out of the competition. He talks to Chris Harrison, who tells him Ali is mad about him. Chris also recommends that Frank tells Ali his news right away, before going on the date. When Ali arrives she tells him that she is really looking forward to the date because she thinks they have a great connection. Frank gives her the ‘we have to talk’ line. This is actually a really sad scene, and you can see how much both of them care for each other. A lot of tears are shed before Frank leaves and heads back to Nicole.
During the rose ceremony Ali makes sure to let the two remaining men know that they aren’t there by default, and confirms with them that they are fully committed. She also lets them know that next week they are off to Bora Bora to meet her family!

If you’re looking for a preview of tonight’s Bachelorette you’ve come to the right place. After tonight there will be no surprises as to who is still around as another Bachelor reveals he is still in love with his ex. (And if you’ve been reading our stories on here, it shouldn’t be a surprise who it is either.)
ABC’s official description of tonight’s episode is: Ali takes a bachelor on a helicopter ride to a heart-shaped island; a bachelor and Ali set sail aboard a catamaran; Ali gets shocking news from another bachelor.
Rumor is starting to spread that Ali ends up alone at the end of the series. Do you think this will be the case? Leave a comment and let us know your opinion.
In order to try and boost rating on Big Brother, CBS announced before the current season began that one of the players was a secret saboteur. Last night the identity of the saboteur was revealed and the person was unanimously evicted from the show.
Annie Whittington, the 27 year old bartender from Tampa, was revealed to be the saboteur to the viewing audience. No one in the house knew her true role, but they still elected to vote her out first and keep Rachel Reilly instead. This could make things interesting however, as the house guests could continue believing someone is trying to mess with them, especially since Annie promised that she had one more trick that had yet to be pulled.
Whittington was not one of the popular people in the house, and it was no surprise that they kicked her out. Up to this point none of her pranks were really that great, as she only managed to padlock the storage room and hide an annoying beeping device in the house. The house guests even mocked the saboteur earlier in the day for failing to cause much mayhem.
The Saboteur is an interesting twist to the popular reality TV show, but unfortunately another television show, The Mole, all ready has that as their entire premise which takes away from the originality of it.
Okay, so The Hills, a supposed reality series about life after Laguna Beach, ended last night. For six seasons we watched relationships come and go in the day to day lives of actors and actresses, and we were supposed to believe it was real and unscripted. There has been a lot of talk over the years about how there is no way it could be real, but MTV constantly said it was. Well last night’s finale led you to believe differently. Every storyline had a conclusion, including Brody and Kristin’s.
Kristin pulled away in a car, and Brody stood watching with the sun and mountains behind him. They show a few clips of the couple, and it seems like the show is over. But it’s not. they pull the camera back to reveal that the background is all fake, and what’s this, Kristin isn’t in the car driving away but standing beside Brody. A symbolic ending to prove everything fans of the show had seen was fake.
A lot of reality TV isn’t what it seems like to begin with. Survivor is edited so that the people we see on TV are what they want us to see. Talk Shows film hours and cut it down to minutes. Game Shows have winners, but you never see every question and if the contestant is boring they aren’t shown on the air. The Hills brought it to a brand new level though. A reality show that wasn’t real at all, even though they said it was. For fans of the show it’s a disappointing way to end the series.
In case you haven’t noticed yet, Regis and Kelly have crossed the border and come up to Canada to visit beautiful Charlottetown Prince Edward Island. They’re up here from July 12th – July 15th, and have some great guests along for the ride.
Lady Antebellum performed their hit song “Our Kind Of Love” on Monday, and Lot 30 Chef Gordon Bailey made Maple Oyster Ice Cream and Street Dog with Mussels. Tuesday saw Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna discuss their reality show Harry Loves Lisa and Caroline Rhea. Wednesdays guests include True Blood actor Stephen Moyer and Canadian R&B singer Melanie Fiona. And Thursday will see John Corbett talk about his new show Ramona and Beezus and punk-rock band One Republic.
Check out this clip of the show below from Prince Edward Island.
In last night’s Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky gets to visit the families of the four remaining bachelors, and choose who gets go to on to Tahiti next week.
First up, Roberto who takes Ali to his high-school in Tampa, Florida. He takes her out to the ballpark and gives her a jersey, and puts on a uniform of his own. Ali thinks he looks hot, and he teaches her how to bat. It’s a very fun and playful date. He even gives her a baseball card of himself. Then we meet his family. His parents, sister, brother, and sister-in-law are all there. The family grill her with some difficult questions such as her job ambitions and whether or not she’ll support Roberto’s job decisions. It ends with Roberto’s family giving him support should he chose to propose to Ali when the show is over.
Next up is Chris in Cape Cod. The weather isn’t cooperating at all and is a little drizzly, but Chris still takes Ali on a walk down the beach with his dog. You can tell Chris is pretty smitten with Ali. When he brings her home he shows her pictures of his family, and when he gets to his late mother he starts to get a little emotional. When Ali meets Chris’ dad, brothers and their wives it’s very apparent that she likes the vibe she feels. The family like her, especially Chris’ dad who tells her when he has her alone how much she has in common with his son. Before the date ends Chris takes Ali out to a turret and gives her a kiss.
In Green Bay Kirk tells Ali that they will visit both of his parents since they are divorced. First up, his dad. Inside the house Ali is shocked to find all sorts of stuffed animals, and she learns that Kirk’s dad is a taxidermist. She checks everything out, even the animals stored in the freezer to be stuffed later. To say she is a little stunned is an understatement. At Kirk’s mother’s house Ali is questioned over dinner about why she is attracted to Kirk. It’s a much better atmosphere, and in the end she wins approval from Kirk’s mother.
Frank meets Ali in Chicago, where he takes her out on a boat to snap pictures and talk. He admits that he’s feeling a little concerned about the process, and the whole mind game of it. Ali doesn’t like his lack of confidence and constant need for reassurance. When she meets his mother Ali confides in her how much she cares for Frank. At the end of the visit Ali tells the camera that she thinks there is a good chance that she and Frank could end up together at the end of all of it. She’s got a big surprise coming if she really feels this way. Too bad Frank has a girlfriend he still cares for, and wants to go back to.
During the rose ceremony it’s Kirk who is going home. She said it has nothing to do with the families, but one has to wonder how truthful she is being considering her reaction to Kirk’s dad. The other family visits seemed to go just fine. Kirk has said he was falling for her, but unfortunately the feeling was not mutual. He did seem like the least likely to win anyway.
Can’t wait to see what happens on tonights episode of the Bachelorette? Want to know who gets sent home, and who survives to go to Tahiti with Ali next week? Well folks, you’ve come to the right place as we’ve got this weeks spoilers ready to go.
If you don’t want to know anymore turn back now as there are SPOILERS ahead!
Still with us? Okay then, well this week Ali visits the families of the four remaining bachelors. The family visits are what causes Ali to make her decision on who to send home this week when she discovers that Kirk’s dad is a taxidermist. Kirk’s dad’s house has creepy stuffed animals all over the place, and when he starts talking Ali begins to view Kirk in a whole new way. Unfortunately for Kirk any chance he has to win fades at this point and he is sent home. If Ali had known that Frank has a girlfriend that he is very much in love with things may have been different. In this episode she starts to get the feeling that Frank isn’t in the game 100% however, and you get to see Frank drop in on his ex (her name is Nicole) and share a very passionate embrace. This can’t possibly end well for Ali.
They’ve arrived, the 2010 Emmy Nominations. Did your favourite TV shows get nominated? How about that actor or actress that caught your eye this year? Like usual there are some surprises, but the majority of nominations were expected.
Leading the pack with 24 nominations is the mini-series The Pacific, followed by Glee with 19, and Mad Men with 17. Over all it’s HBO that has garnered the most nomination with a huge 101 nomination, and ABC is next with 63. It should also be noted that Conan O’Brien got nominated for his stint on the Tonight Show, whereas Jay Leno did not.
ABC’s dual shows The Bachelor and The Bachelorette are going to have to find more ways to convince people that love can be found on television as former Bachelorette Jillian Harris and winner Ed Swiderski have broken up.
Last season on The Bachelorette Canadian Jillian Harris chose Ed out of a 30 possible suitors, and just recently they ended their engagement.
Jillian told Us Weekly that ”I love him and I’m really sad, but I have to look out for me.”
Us Weekly also has comments from Ed. ”We’re both kind of resetting,” he said. “Jillian isn’t happy and I’m definitely sad about the whole thing, but we got to work through some things on our own if we decide to move forward.”
Unfortunately The Bachelorette’s track record isn’t so hot as only one of the five couples are still together, that being Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter.
Holy Molly! No Jason and Molly are not back don’t get excited. We’ll tell you what was pretty exciting on this episode 7 of The Bachelorette and it wasn’t anything that Ali Fedotowsky did with her 5 remaining guys. As you can see from the title Ali sent Ty home, but we already predicted that in the last recap. What was rather exciting and frankly disturbing,was the last 20 minutes of the show that was devoted to Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi’s emotional showdown.
Wowee, reality television it was and if you missed it, find it on youtube cause then what we are about to tell you will really make a lot of sense. Basically you know how Jake was always just shy of being creepy? The Bachelorette Jillian Harris had a pretty strong sense on this when he was one of her suitors a couple of seasons ago. He came across as Mr.Nice guy on his own The Bachelor show, but in this 20 minutes it was like watching a serious psycho unravel right before all of North America.
” Don’t Interrupt Me” he shouted at Vienna Girardi as she went on with her emotional , but very revealing rant. It was the way he said it, that was pure psycho and completely validated what she was saying about him. How he wanted her to be an equivalent of a Stepford Wife, how he treated her like a child, how he would fly into rage with the slightest dissagreement with her. With his need to control every situation, with his craving for fame. After his outburts directed at her, we believed her. And no matter how much he tried to slip back into his ‘Mr.Nice Guy” role after she ran off the set…it wasn’t going to work. ” The don’t you disrespect me” psycho was out of the bag and there was just no way of putting him back in there. Scary!
Ok, back to Ali and The Bachelorette. Ali had a romantic first one on one date with Roberto. You can see the two are really connected. It was sweet, there was a little cat, the whole thing left the viewer with…we”ll see. Then two on one with Frank and Ty, with Ali ending up sitting up in a tree k.i.s.s.i.n.g with Frank .Kirk was up next . Kirk and Ali ate dinner in a castle and got serenaded with a beautiful Portuguese song. Kirk is a nice guy, but it was pretty easy to see that Ali has stronger connection with the other guys. Then the Bachelorette finallyhad a one on one date with Chris from Maine. We liked Chris from the beginning , he is not a smooth talker and is shy and a bit closed with his feelings, but the impression one gets is that when he does open up he is genuine. Ali got that impression as well and is going to his home town to meet his family. He just maybe the one.
It’s home dates on the next episode of The Bachelorette. As you may have seen in the spoilers, Frank admits to having a girlfriend, but apparently NOT in the next episode which is nasty for whoever gets sent home. Stay tuned for the next recap!
ABC is airing a special two hour interview on Monday with Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi at 8pm. During the interview they discuss the accusations of infidelity and why they ran to the tabloids with their story. At times The Bachelor Host Chris Harrison says the interview gets heated and that it ends unsatisfactorally, but it is also the first time the two have gotten together since the announcement of their split. Hopefully at the very least the truth of the situation comes out as there has been a lot of disinformation and gossip.
ABC describes the program as “Jake and Vienna, whose recent break-up made headlines in media across the country, face each other for the first time in an emotional and dramatic dialogue with host Chris Harrison, on The Bachelorette, MONDAY, JULY 5 (8:00-10:02 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.”
