Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's Bel Air Mansion May Be the Thing That Breaks Them

Good grief. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West visited their new Bel Air mansion yesterday to see how the renovations are coming along -- and that place still isn't close to being done!

A photo was snapped of them standing in the driveway. While it's kind of hard to make out the expression on their faces, they sort of look annoyed to me -- and who can blame them?

They bought the place back in January, and eight months later, they're still shacking up with mama Kris over at the Jenner mansion. And if moving in with her wasn't already less than ideal enough -- you know things have been even more cramped and hectic since baby North West entered the picture. (Can't a girl get her own crib?)

Considering how many months have gone by, it's hard not to wonder what exactly they're doing to this pad. I mean, it's not like it was in shambles when they purchased it, so what the heck is taking so long?

Could it be that they really are installing surveillance cameras all over the place in addition to outfitting the bathrooms with gold-plated toilets? Maybe that's part of what's holding things up?

Whatever the case, Kanye and Kim have to be going out of their minds right about now. At this point, it probably would've taken less time to just build a house from scratch rather than trying to turn this place into their dream home. And since they already shelled out $11 million for it, you gotta wonder just how many more hundreds of thousands or even millions they're pumping into the renovations, bumping up the total price even higher.

Yes, I know they have more than enough cash between them for that sort of thing. Still, they probably could've saved time and money had they either bought a home that fit their needs, or had one custom built.

For their sake, let's hope they at least get to finally move into the place by the end of the year. If they don't, 2014 may not start on a very bright note. The longer they stay with Kim's mom, the better the chance of their living situation driving a wedge between them. And then they'll have to sell the place before ever setting foot in it, which would really suck.

Why do you think these renovations are taking so long?

Popular Actor Breaks Silence About Being Kidnapped

If you've seen Benedict Cumberbatch in Sherlock or Star Trek: Into Darkness, it's hard to imagine him ever losing his cool. That's probably part of his appeal -- that and his drool-worthy British accent. It's also hard to imagine him living anything other than a very sheltered life. I mean, come on, his name wouldn't look out of place on a list of England's royals.

But not everything is always as it appears. Sometimes even the rakishly handsome British types experience experiences and that's part of what makes them choose to live exceptional lives. That's right. I'm getting deep.

Cumberbatch was shooting a miniseries in South Africa in 2005. It was there that he and two friends found themselves looking down the barrel of a gun. It's not the sort of peril you expect to find on a film set where presumably your every whim is managed. The group's car had broken down in a dangerous neighborhood leaving them sitting ducks.

He and his friends were attacked by a group of men. Cumberbatch found himself tied up and shoved into the trunk of a car. A million thoughts about his future and the possible outcomes of this attack ran through his head:

I was scared, really scared. I said: "What are you going to do with us? Are you going to kill us?" I was really worried that I was going to get ... tortured or toyed with in some way, some act of control and savagery.

Inexplicably and out of the blue, the kidnappers released their victims allowing them to flee to safety. Cumberbatch always projects an aura of stoicism in the roles he undertakes. You can't help but wonder if a lot of that strength coming from his performances is born from being a real survivor.

Do you think his past experiences have made Benedict a different kind of actor?

Jenelle Evans Breaks Her Thumb in the World's Weirdest Accident

Are you sitting down? If so, please stand. You're going to want to be up for this. Jenelle Evans broke her thumb in her sleep the other night, you guys. As the story goes, per her lovah, Nathan Griffith, Jenelle was deep in a peaceful slumber a few nights ago when she rolled over and fell off the bed, breaking her most important finger: Her thumb. And the weirdest part about this whole weird story? Jenelle has no recollection of the incident whatsoever.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ...

Jenelle initially fired off the tweet: "Woke up with a broken thumb", and when inquiring fans demanded to know how ("What'd you do? Sleep on it wrong?! Lol" one person asked), Jenelle simply responded with: "Nathan said I fell off the bed earlier lol I don't remember."

Now. I'm not one to make assumptions, buuuuut, when one is completely and totally sober -- nary a cocktail in their system -- how do they sleep through falling off of their bed and breaking a bone in their body? I know some people are deep sleepers, and I'm not saying Jenelle was under the influence of any kind. Buuuuut. This is a pretty impressive thing to sleep through. I've heard of people sleeping through alarms, phones, even their baby crying. But falling to the floor and smashing a finger to smithereens is a new one.

Glad everything is fine with Jenelle, and she's still able to LOL it up. But perhaps Nathan ought to install one of those toddler railings so Jenelle doesn't fall off the bed again. It was just a thumb this time, but who knows what could be next?

Have you ever fallen off your bed and broken your thumb and slept through it?

'Real Housewives' Star Alex McCord Breaks Down the 'RHOM' Premiere Like You’ve Never Seen Before (VIDEO)

Greetings, Stir-crazy friends! I’m thrilled to join the community and stir up some trouble in the world of reality TV.

Join me each week for a new exclusive video, where I break down what we saw, what we didn’t see, how these shows are put together behind the scenes, and what I think will be the major stories of this coming season.

Let’s get started with The Real Housewives of Miami, as its third season premiered last night on Bravo. Miami holds a special place in my heart; it’s unlike any other of the Real Housewives franchises in several ways. The biggest? It’s unapologetically superficial with all the ladies doggedly pursuing money and beauty ... which, in a strange way, is refreshing. I’ll have my bling without the guilt, please!!

We’ve got weddings and bridezillas, the heartbreaking medical condition of Alexia Echevarria’s son Frankie, plus the legal troubles of her other son Peter, both of which add up to a LOT for one mama to handle! Plus, is Adriana de Moura really married, and why is she pretending she’s not? Does Lea Black lie all the time or just part of the time? Or are her frenemies in fact lying about her? Will Marysol Patton’s Mama Elsa come back? 

More from The Stir: Lea Black Has It Out for Adriana De Moura

All of this comes with a fashion parade, sun, palm trees, plus a major helping of lies, backstabbing, and scheming. What could be better?? Take a look at my in-depth recap:

Do you think Adriana is really lying about being married? What was your favorite RHOM premiere moment?

Real Housewives of New York alum Alex McCord is TheStir.com's newest guest blogger. Each week, the NYC mom of two will dish about the catfights, feuds, and behind-the-scenes scoop on all your fave Real Housewives. Watch for more to come!

'Breaking Bad' Honest Trailer Breaks Down Our Addiction to Walter White (VIDEO)

Have you seen the deeply awesome "Honest Trailer" clips from the folks at Screen Junkies? They're a series of parody videos that include snarky yet oh-so-true commentary about various popular films. For instance, the Honest Trailer for Hunger Games, which, among other things, hilariously questioned how Peeta used his cake-decorating skills to magically camouflage himself into, what, a forest rock? ("Seriously? That is f*cking ridiculous.")

While the YouTube humor series is typically focused on movies, the latest Honest Trailer takes on Breaking Bad -- and it's every bit as fantastic as you'd expect. It's also chock-full of spoilers from past seasons, so skip the rest of this post if you haven't caught up! Otherwise, enjoy the video magic of an amazing show being skewered with perfect, loving accuracy. 

Here's the clip:

I know it's a cliché to talk about spraying the monitor with laughter-delivered beverage, but I seriously -- and ironically -- half-choked on my iced tea when I got to the part about Walt's cancer being the kind that makes him cough a lot. (Not that cancer is funny! It's just … that line is funny, okay?)

The occasional moments of slow exposition! The eternal breakfast scenes! Hank's terrible jokes! All the Latino villains! The fact that white people drone on and on about Breaking Bad even more than The Wire! Oh, it's all true, and this trailer does a truly great job of good-naturedly poking fun -- while still acknowledging how relentlessly fantastic the show is.

What did you think of the Breaking Bad Honest Trailer?
