"Sex Confessions" is a series featuring your naughtiest bedroom secrets and fantasies. Some will sound familiar, others may give you ideas, some will turn you on, and some are dark and twisted. You might want to sit down for this.

Paul* and Anna* have been married for seven years. They have a son who is 3 and seemingly have a happy marriage with no issues. And they are happy -- very happy Anna insists, but a little incident last year has made Anna concerned now. She allowed her husband to sleep with another woman. And he did. Just once. And they hadn't talked about it much until recently. I'll let Anna explain.

Paul and I have had those talks that so many couples do about who our free pass would be. Mine is Charlie Hunnam and we've joked about it when we watch Sons of Anarchy. (I can't wait for Fifty Shades of Grey movie!) Paul's free pass was Jennifer Lopez until one day when we were playfully discussing these celebrity crushes that we clearly never would have a chance with and he said he would add Jessica* to the list. Jessica is our friend. More his friend than mine, but I like her very much. She and Paul used to work together and we'd go out with her and her husband quite often before we had kids. Jessica ended up getting a new job and divorced, and moved about an hour away though Paul still kept in touch with her here and there.

For some reason I told him I would allow him to have a free pass with Jessica. I really thought I wasn't truly agreeing to anything. I never thought it would happen. And I wasn't even jealous when he told me she would be his free pass because I think it's healthy to be attracted to other people and playfully think about it. He was telling me about it so I just thought it was just that -- him telling me he had the hots for his friend Jessica.

This was last year. And a few weeks after that conversation, he told me he spoke to Jessica and she was into it. He wanted me to honor that free pass. So I did. And I regret it.

Maybe I didn't think it would really happen. Maybe I was shocked that he actually asked her if she wanted to have sex with him. But it happened. Just once. And I can't help but feel totally insecure in my relationship now even though I said it was okay. We never discussed it in those early days after it happened. But in the last few months I've wanted to know more. He says it wasn't that great. That he thought about me. That they don't really talk anymore as friends. But I'm not sure how to deal with it all.

What do you think Anna should do? Would you ever allow your husband to be with another woman?

'Breaking Bad' Recap: Jesse Endures Yet Another Unspeakable Loss

maandag 23 september 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Did anyone consider taking a prophylactic medication from the benzodiazepine family before watching tonight's Breaking Bad? I'm not saying that would have been an advisable decision, I'm saying that it would have been understandable. Sadly for me the strongest thing in my household is a sticky years-old bottle of generic Nyquil, so I had to make do with sitting on the edge of the couch and anxiously grinding every speck of enamel off my teeth.

By the end of last week's episode, a major character was dead and Walt's life had taken a dramatic turn, to say the least. Here's what went down in tonight's episode, titled "Granite State."

(Spoilers ahead.)

We start with Saul joining Walt in the vacuum store/new-identity-making location, where he learns that 1) he's destined for a future in Nebraska ("Probably managing a Cinnabon"), and 2) Walt wants to take out Jack and the Nazis in order to steal back his cash. Walt tries to strong-arm Saul into joining him in this effort, but before he can deliver his intimidating speech about things not being over until he says so, he collapses into a lung-rattling fit of coughing. "It's over," says Saul sadly, and walks away.

Jack's gang tears apart the Schrader's home and finds Jesse's taped confession, which they watch with great enjoyment. Skyler faces the authorities and acknowledges she's aware of just how deep of a pile of shit she's in, then goes home to smoke moodily until she's interrupted by a fussing Holly, who turns out to be fussing on account of the masked men lurking in her bedroom waiting to scare me half to death. I'm 99% positive Todd's going to kill someone in this scene, but he's satisfied with terrifying Skyler into promising she'll never talk to the cops about Lydia.

Todd -- dressed up like a kid on a date -- meets Lydia for one of her signature Awkward Top Secret Cafe Conversations, where he tells her his meth quality is super-awesome again thanks to Jesse. He gazes lovingly at the back of her head and gently plucks a bit of lint off her shirt, and if he's nearly likable in this moment, he's even more strangely compelling later, when he bring Jesse ice cream (lowered via "It puts the lotion on its skin" bucket) and lingers as if reluctant to leave Jesse's company. "Have a good night, Jesse," Todd says warmly, as if he's, you know, not talking to someone he's personally bludgeoned to the point of deformity and imprisoned in a concrete pen.

Saul's make-a-new-life guy drives Walt out to a remote snow-covered cabin in New Hampshire. He warns Walt not to leave the cabin, and leaves with the plans to return in a month. Walt immediately grabs some cash and attempts to head into town, but stops at the gate and coughs weakly. "Tomorrow," Walt promises himself. "Tomorrow."

Jesse makes an impressive attempt to escape, but just as he's scaling the fence he's caught. He screams for them to go ahead and kill him, because there's no way in hell he's going to cook any more. Next thing you know, Todd shows up at Andrea's house, oozing charm and saying he's a friend of Jesse's, and entices her to step out on the porch. As she peers around confusedly, we see Jesse inside a vehicle, bound and screaming behind a gag. “Just so you know, this isn’t anything personal,” Todd says, then shoots her in the back of the head.

Jesse, who's now suffered so much I don't even really know if I want him to survive the finale, because jesus how much can one man take, completely freaks out. Jack tells him to simmer down. "Remember, there's still the kid," he says, evilly.

Back at Walt's cabin, time has passed. He's got a beard, he's gaunt, his interaction with Saul's guy makes it clear a few months have gone by. Despite it all, I can't help but feel sorry for him: he's wasting away, so lonely he's willing to pay Saul's guy $10K to stay one hour.

We learn that Skyler's using her maiden name, and when Walt's wedding ring falls from his bony finger he seems to collect himself for a risky endeavor: he packs up some money and makes his way into town where he gets Walt Jr. on the phone. I lose my sympathy for him as he unspools the same old excuses about why he did what he did, but I gain it back when Flynn finally snaps, shouting that he doesn't want Walt's money, that Walt should just leave them alone, and why hasn't he died yet? Just DIE.

Shattered, Walt dials the DEA and leaves the phone hanging so it can be traced. He sits at the bar and catches sight of the television, where Charlie Rose is interviewing his former friends Elliot and Gretchen from Grey Matter. They neatly dissociate themselves from Walt, claiming that the only thing he ever contributed to the company was the name. Gretchen pours salt on Walt's myriad wounds by saying, "Walt's gone. The sweet, kind man that we used to know is gone.”

Walt burns. The police show up and storm the bar (atmospheric points for the masterfully extended theme song here), but all that's left is his unfinished drink. We know Walt goes on to buy an M60 and a car from an arms dealer, and we know he eventually makes his way back to his own house and to that hidden ricin … but as for everything else, we've got exactly one more episode to tie up Breaking Bad's various loose ends.

What did you think of tonight's episode? After last week's "Ozymandias," this one wasn't quite such a jaw-dropper for me, but god, it was so relentlessly devastating. I cannot wait to see where this story goes next Sunday.

Kim Kardashian Keeps North West Hidden But Does She Have Another Agenda?

zaterdag 21 september 2013

by Rebecca Stokes 19 hours ago

Kim Kardashian has made it very clear that she wants to distance herself from her famous family. She's moving into her own house and she fired her publicist to hire one who doesn't represent any of her family members. She's done all of this with the blessing of her baby daddy, Kanye West. 

Now she's really driving her point home. Sources say that Kim won't let North West, the baby of a thousand faces, be filmed for Keeping Up With the Kardashians. This doesn't sound so much like a bid to make sure her child's privacy is respected. It sounds like another attempt to assert her own identity as a would-be A-lister. This might be a huge mistake. 

Kim is desperate to elevate her star status, and in the process, she might be losing everything about her that was appealing. We loved watching Kim interact with her family. We loved that while she was stylish, she was also accessible. If she turns her back on that, it's as good as turning her back to her fans.

Plus, and I'm not saying this to be mean-spirited, what are the odds of her plan even working? Anna Wintour's already said she'll never work with Kim, which is the high fashion kiss of death. Without any other real skills to offer, how can she expect to be welcomed into the upper echelon? Seems a bit, well, naive.

Do you think Kim's on the right track?

'DWTS' Premiere Recap: Season 17 Kicks Off With One Shock After Another

dinsdag 17 september 2013

AppId is over the quota
por Mary Fischer hace 10 horas

Ahhhhh! Sé que no soy el único que literalmente se levantó del sofá y aplaudieron durante el estreno de Dancing With the Stars temporada 17 esta noche. OMG. ¿Dónde diablos han sido esconden estos concursantes? Por primera vez en no sé cuánto tiempo, que no podía dejar sonriendo de oreja a oreja como cada pareja tomó la pista de baile.

La primera noche de DWTS suele ser incómodo, incómodo, un poco aburrido y también algo vergonzoso... pero este elenco está seriamente en llamas.

Y podrían que se echaron las cosas esta noche con alguien más caliente que Brandt Daugherty. ¿Por qué nunca oí de este tipo antes? Es todo tipo de sexy como el infierno y mucho más. (Mamá me gusta). Y él y Peta Murgatroyd tenemos química loco, así que deben ser muy interesantes ver esta temporada.

Después de actuación Brandt y de Peta, que la mitad espera el show al comienzo va cuesta abajo bastante rápido, pero luego solo guardé mejorando y sorprendió a los diablos de todo el mundo.

¿ Corbin Bleu? Sí, sí, sé que es un poco en el lado experimentado, pero todavía-- Karina Smirnoff y él eran impresionantes.

Y OMG-- Jack Osbourne. ¿No era nada corta de adorable, pero también probó ser muy suave en sus pies--quién sabían? (Y totalmente empecé a romper después de ver a su madre Sharon llorando en la audiencia.)

Elizabeth Berkley también me llamó la atención y es mirar hacia fuera para esta temporada. Ok, así que tal vez fue Val Chmerkovskiy que me había pegado a la TV, pero como sea.

Y no me hagas hablar sobre Amber Riley. ¿Puede esa chica moverlo y agitar, o qué? Es de noche sólo uno, pero si ella y Derek Hough seguir este ritmo, les sería fácil tomar el trofeo de bola de espejo.

Por supuesto, tuvieron que salvar a Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi para el final, y debo decir que ella entregó totalmente. Definitivamente lleva esta competencia (y su vida) en serio, que es tan refrescante. La quiero. (Y Len la llamó un poco "pocket rocket". El pobre no tenía ni idea lo que dijo, y fue increíble).

Hmm. Si tuviera que elegir un favorito esta noche pero voy a tener que dar mi voto a Jack Osbourne. Es demasiado lindo para resistir.

OMG. No puedo esperar para la próxima semana.

¿Quién es tu concursante favorito hasta ahora?

Alex McCord’s 'RHOM' Recap: The WORST Thing 1 Housewife Can Do to Another

woensdag 21 augustus 2013

by Alex McCord 15 hours ago in Entertainment

What’s the worst crime in Real Housewives land? It's either stealing money or stealing the spotlight. As one who has teetered on those uneven stilettos for years, I can tell you that while swiping money might land you an indictment, on reality TV, stealing someone's thunder carries the death penalty. Let me break down the biggest offenders on this week's Real Housewives of Miami.

We see bridezilla number one, Joanna Krupa, struggling over her fiancé’s desire for a prenuptial agreement, which begs the question, are they so wrong? Should Romain stipulate that Joanna’s sister Marta can’t come near the wedding?

Bridezilla number two, Adriana de Moura, sticks to her story that she’s not really married -- damn the legalities!! Does that mean we can all deny we’re married if we have fights with our husbands? In any case, throwing a wedding makes for great reality television.

Finally, this week we blow the roof off cast member storylines. Every season, the ladies of each city compete for the biggest, best, most dramatic personal lives. But I'm here to tell you that what we see on the screen doesn’t dovetail with actual reality. Watch my exclusive video here for all the details and answers to your Twitter questions!

Who do you think brings the most drama on RHOM?

Lady Gaga's Crazy Nude 'Meditation' Video Is Just Another Publicity Stunt (VIDEO)

zaterdag 10 augustus 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Jacqueline Burt 15 hours ago

When you think of Lady Gaga, does the term "New Age" come to mind? Does the pop diva's name instantly conjure up images of crystals and naked forest sprites prancing about and doing yoga? No?! Well. It should. Because Gaga's latest, er ... creative venture is a two-minute video devoted to all things spiritually enlightened. And by all things spiritually enlightened, we mean crystals and naked forest sprites prancing about and doing yoga. With tattoos. And rain boots.

Confused yet? I suspect that's the point. See, Lady Gaga is appearing naked in a new video promoting "The Abramovic Method," a technique for achieving "heightened physical and mental awareness" designed by performance artist Marina Abramovic. Gaga's participation is, I assume, meant to imply that the singer has in fact achieved said physical and mental awareness. Right? Why else would Lady Gaga be involved in ... oh, wait a sec.

Does this whole spiritual shebang stink of publicity stunt to anybody else? Oh, I don't mean to be needlessly cynical. Really. But just take a look at this video! (Which is, by the way, NSFW!!! Or for viewing around children, depending on how you feel about nudity in a non-sexual but sensational context.)

Get what I'm saying now? Look, I'm cool with yoga and crystals and nudity and tattoos ... I'm cool with everything in this video (except the bleached eyebrows, which freak me the crap out, and sitting naked on a giant crystal, which just looks uncomfortable). I just don't buy that Lady Gaga is really going through some spiritual transformation via "The Abramovic Method." Consider her track record: The blood and semen perfume. The meat dress. The egg thing. Just saying. Whatever gets her publicity floats her boat, it's all good. I wouldn't start calling her Lady Guru, though.

Do you think Lady Gaga's naked forest yoga video is a publicity stunt?

My Little Pony Makeover Gives Moms Another Headache

woensdag 24 juli 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Have you seen the My Little Pony makeover yet? Technically it's not really a makeover so much as a total reboot. Bye bye colorful horses with unique looks and personalities. Hello Equestria Girls, human teenagers who all look exactly the same.

And when I say the same, I don't just mean Hasbro's new pony/girl mash-ups look like one another. I mean these stick-thin waifs resemble every other darn doll on the market.

Sigh.

Not surprisingly, Hasbro is already getting a lot of flack from moms for the reboot. Surprisingly -- at least to me -- the main complaint is that the company is "sexualizing" My Little Pony.

As Patricia-Anne Tom over at Pop Sugar said this week, the "toys look less like ponies and more like sexified teenage goth girls."

I agree that there is very little "pony" to these new My Little ponies, but I don't see the Equestria Girls as sexy per se.

I do see them as another assault on our young girls' already perilous relationship with their bodies.

The Equestria Girls all have longer than long legs paired with teeny weeny waists. They're not far off the Monster High Dolls or Barbie or any of the teeming pile of dolls on the market with bodies that won't be found in nature.

Now, I should digress and point out that dolls do not in and of themselves cause body image problems. A social experiment with my daughter and a load of Barbie dolls a few months back proved that kids see things very differently than we adults do.

That said, it's important for us to talk to our daughters about body image, and for us to talk about the problems with the bodies of their dolls, lets the toys do the talking for us.

This is why I've always liked My Little Pony. My daughter can play with them for hours, and I don't have to worry about sitting down afterward for a refresher course on how every body is different, on being healthy.

There is no body baggage with a horse.

If it's money Hasbro is after (and hey, they are a company in a capitalist society), they will get it ... we mothers who have been sucked into the girl power themes of the TV show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic are more than happy to buy DVDs and toys galore.

Just leave us one safe harbor, would you? One part of the toy store that doesn't keep us up late at night worrying about bulimia and diets.

What do you think of the new My Little Pony?

Justin Bieber Accused of Spitting in ANOTHER Man's Face

dinsdag 16 juli 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Mary Fischer 2 hours ago

Uh-oh, people. The plot thickens. Just a week after a video of him peeing into a restaurant mop bucket surfaced, Justin Bieber has been accused of spitting on a DJ while at a club in Ohio over the weekend.

The man in question says that he was approached by two of Justin's bouncers, who believed he was taking pictures of the Biebs with his cellphone. And since the club is one of those 21 and over joints and Justin is only 19, pics of him being there definitely wouldn't be a good thing.

The bouncers allegedly grabbed the DJ's phone and began looking for the photos in question, and even though they did not find any, they still told Justin they believed he was snapping pictures. That's when all hell (maybe) broke loose.

The accuser told TMZ Justin approached him and added, "He called my mom something, called my dad something, called me something ... and spit in my face."

Yikes!

Want to hear the best part? This dude apparently got tested for hepatitis because he believed the Biebs has contaminated spit or something like that. (He checked out just fine. Turns out contracting hepatitis from saliva is highly unlikely.)

Ok, so did this really happen or not? A source from Justin's camp makes it seem like this dude was making the whole thing up -- and basically says he ripped off the story from another time the Biebs was accused of spitting in someone's face. (Yep. This isn't the first alleged spitting incident.)

Huh. Seems kind of strange for someone to recycle an accusation like that, doesn't it?

Sadly, if what this man says is true and Justin really did spit on him, I can't say I'm all that surprised. He seems to have a thing about spreading bodily fluids around in public right now. If you couple that with getting into fights and his recent outlandish behavior, you've got yourself a recipe for him flying off the handle.

But let's keep our fingers crossed that this story is false. The thought of accidentally being hit by Bieber's spit while trying to enjoy a night out on the town isn't very appealing.

Do you think Justin really spit at this dude?

Chris Brown’s Probation Is Revoked After He ‘Goes Ballistic’ on Another Woman

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Kiri Blakeley 2 hours ago

Given all of the trouble Chris Brown has gotten into lately, it's hard to believe the man was supposed to be on his best behavior since he's on probation stemming from his 2009 beatdown of former girlfriend Rihanna. Maybe Chris has been on his best behavior -- but between the fights with Drake and Frank Ocean, the scary murals on his estate walls, and crashing his Porsche, it's hard to tell. One bout of misbehavior finally caught up with him, though -- and now Chris Brown's probation has been revoked.

In May, Brown reportedly fled the scene of a fender bender without giving the other driver his license and insurance information. He also reportedly freaked out on her when she tried to take his photo because he wouldn't give his name to her. Listen to how this went down and then try to tell me Brown has changed.

According to police reports, after Brown rear-ended a woman who was at a stop light, the woman handed over her license information, but Brown refused to give her his. After she called her husband and asked him what to do, he told her to insist on the information. Again Chris balked, so she tried to take his photo and that of his companion in the car -- his girlfriend Karrueche Tran.

The couple "went ballistic" when the woman, identified only as Olga in the police report, tried to take their photo. As a recent emigre, Olga didn't know who Brown was, but I imagine Brown and Karrueche didn't want their pic out. Especially when he was supposedly dating Rihanna at the time.

Brown reportedly began screaming at the woman and tried to grab her camera. Of course he did. Did we expect anything less?

Then Karrueche reportedly yelled, "Don't touch her!" and offered her own license, saying it was her car -- which it wasn't. Because Brown always manages to find some woman who will try to cover up his bad behavior.

Said the woman: "I was so shocked that I was speechless. Just a moment ago he was a nice guy. After screaming some insulting nonsense for a while longer, he slammed a door and drove away fast and noisy."

Yeah, those types will turn on you quickly.

Prosecutors did not ask for Brown to spend time in jail and I doubt he'll spend a day there anyway. Anyone else who bashed in a woman's face and left the scene of a car accident would spend at least a day or two in the clink -- but not Brown. It'll be interesting to see how many scrapes Karrueche tries to get her man out of before waking up to the truth about him.

Do you think Chris should go to jail?

Jenelle Evans Gives a Hysterical Excuse for Living With Another Dude While Still Married

zaterdag 13 juli 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Nicole Fabian-Weber Yesterday at 3:45 PM

One thing you've gotta give Teen Mom Jenelle Evans credit for: The woman does not run out of excuses. Ever. Jenelle recently said that, although she's currently living with new boyfriend Nathan Griffith while technically still married to Courtland Rogers, she's not committing adultery because Courtland cheated first.

Now, don't get me wrong, I was just as happy as the next guy to see Jenelle and Courtland part ways -- they're one of history's worst couples. And if she wants to be with someone else right now, that's fine. She and Rogers are estranged. But is she really using the ol' "he did it first" excuse. What is this, second grade?

Jenelle need not paint herself as the "scorned woman" here. Because she's not. Yeah, Courtland may have cheated first, but if Jenelle actually gave a rat's ass, she would have "mourned" their relationship first, as opposed to diving head-first into a new relationship. In fact, I'm guessing Jenelle was thrilled Courtland cheated, because that way, she was off the hook for anything she did afterwards.

I couldn't help but let out the most audible of sighs when I read Jenelle's tweet on the whole sitch. She wrote: "It's not a sin if one spouse has been unfaithful. CR was unfaithful and we r separated." First of all, easy there with the Bible talk, killer. And second of all, stop making excuses. Yes, what Courtland did was really, really wrong -- and he's one of the world's biggest trashballs -- but don't get it twisted, Jenelle. His wrong doesn't make you right.

What do you think of this?
