If it's Monday and the earth is still spinning on its axis, Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried are frantically trying to convince the public at large that they are desperately in love. You know what might help bolster the idea of their happiness more than all of these social media updates? A little radio silence! We could all just quietly assume that they'd sauntered off for some naked alone-time as real couples are wont to do.

But Des has decided that silence is for the birds, and Chris agrees with her. If it has happened in their daily lives, they have chronicled it for our reading pleasure. I am surprised we are not all receiving alerts when one of them uses the bathroom. But it looks like the bloom might be falling from the rose, because check out what annoying habit Des revealed might drive her and Chris apart.

The dude is a terrible singer! And like many terrible singers before him, he decided to break out his best Madonna while driving along with his beloved. Des playfully tweeted to all of their fans that singing ain't exactly Chris's area.

Can you imagine Chris staring unblinkingly at Des and wailing the chorus of "Like a Virgin"? I die. The poor woman had no choice but to tweet it out. It was do that, or throw herself from the moving car. In all relationships sooner or later, our partner's quirks rear their tuneless heads. It looks like that's already happening for Des and Chris. With the added pressure of being under such scrutiny, these little irritating quirks could easily become deal breakers.

Do you think it's normal for Des to be sharing this much about Chris?

Vicki Gunvalson Will Never Leave 'RHOC' No Matter What She Says

Monday is part three of The Real Housewives of Orange County reunion, and previews indicate that it's going to be an explosive one (which, of course, they always do). The thing that has everyone buzzing about this one, however, is a peek at a scene in which Vicki Gunvalson gets up and storms off stage saying, "Guess what, Vicki's done with the show!" 

So is that it for Vicki? Could the O.G. of the O.C. really be throwing in the towel for good?

That would be a big HELL NO. There's no way Vicki will ever leave RHOC of her own free will. And Andy Cohen loves her, so I think she'll go down with the ship ... if it ever goes down. 

Sure, it's been a dramatic season for her (Of course, when has a season not been dramatic for her?), with all of the Brooks Ayers nastiness, the issues with her son-in-law, Ryan Culberson, and, of course, the rumors Lauri Peterson came back to throw in her face. It would definitely be enough to send most people running from the show, never to look back.

Vicki, however, isn't most people. She thrives in this kind of drama. While the actual events may be painful for her, I think she finds some kind of comfort in being able to work through them in the public light. She recently told OK magazine as much:

That teeter totter really gets pushed sometimes, but I like it.  I like the drama. I like the craziness. I like to juggle a lot of things at once. I was told if you want a big life you’ll have big problems and if you want a small life, you’ll have small problems. I’m a big life kind of girl.

Also, she likes to win. If she walked now, it would be letting Lauri and all of the others who (justifiably) went after her relationship with Brooks win, and there's no way she would do that. It's just not in her to give up like that.

Finally, Vicki is a businesswoman first and foremost, and she knows how lucrative this show can be in many ways. From vodka to wine, she's letting the RHOC light shine on her business endeavors, and there's no way she's going to dim it.

So no, Vicki isn't going anywhere. I suppose we'll have to wait and see to really know for sure, but I would be shocked if she did. And I hope not, because, really,  what would RHOC be without her?

Do you think Vicki will leave RHOC? Do you think she should?

Soldier's Amazing Rendition of 'At Last' Will Leave You Speechless (VIDEO)

It always warms my heart when I hear stories of men and women overseas trying to have a little fun during a deployment. Hey, they deserve it! The tiring ins and outs of an average day are anything but easy. For one Army soldier, Paul Ieti, he unwinds with his voice. We all ooh-ed and aah-ed over this soldier's emotional Rihanna cover, and now he's back from his tour in Afghanistan with another treasure -- Etta James' classic song "At Last."

Seriously, it's mind-blowing. Like, as if a man in uniform isn't handsome enough. A man in uniform that can sing? Forgettaboutit. Watch this hunky soldier's cover of "At Last," and be amazed that that voice is coming out of that man, here:

Yeah, told you it was fantabulous. How cute is it, too, that he's taking requests over there? Hey! I have one Paul! How about a little Billy Joel?

What song would you want to see Paul sing?

Prince William's Paternity Leave Was Too Short to Really Bond With Son George

dinsdag 6 augustus 2013

Can you believe it's already been two weeks since the royal baby, Prince George, was born? Time has just flown by, especially for his poor dad. Prince William's paternity leave is already over. Will is officially back on duty as a search and rescue pilot for the Royal Air Force in Anglesey, Wales as of today, but his next assignment isn't until Wednesday so he'll probably not leave until Tuesday night. Still... only two weeks? That's so short!

I guess not even a prince can get away with extending his paternity leave. That's too bad. I think two weeks is too short for any new dad, whatever your job is. But I also know that dads rarely take more time off than that. In fact, you're lucky if you even get those two weeks at all.

Maybe Prince William doesn't want to appear like he's getting special privileges not granted to anyone else in the Royal Air Force just because he's the prince. I can understand that... I guess. But then, he's probably getting some other, less public privileges. And wouldn't this be a good time for him to advocate for longer paternity leave?

Oh well, it's just for the rest of the summer. Prince William plans to change his assignment once his tour is over so he can spend more time with the family, and that's a choice most military families can't make. Plus Kate is staying with her parents in Bucklebury, so she's not exactly being left on her own.

But I'm sure she'll be thrilled once William is back for good. Babies are funny -- in some ways, they don't do a whole lot at this stage, so it's easy to say William won't miss out on much. But then, babies grow and change so quickly, so he'll come back to a different child even after just a few weeks. Good thing he had the time that he did with Kate and George.

How long do you think new dads should get for paternity leave?

Fast-Approaching Final Season of 'Glee' Will Leave Us Heartbroken ... Again (VIDEO)

When Glee was renewed for not one but two more seasons, there was also a lot of clucking about whether or not that was necessary. Hadn't the show basically already run its course? These are likely the same silly folks who failed to notice that the show had even gone on beyond the graduation of the senior class, which included Kurt, Amber, Rachel, Finn, Mike, Puck, Quinn, etc. But to fans, the news was awesome. And the door seemed open to there being more Glee even after the sixth season! Now, though, it looks like FOX entertainment chairman Kevin Reilly has put the kibosh on that possibility.

Reilly told reporters yesterday at the Television Critics Association's summer press tour: "I would not anticipate it goes beyond two more seasons." And while he made sure to tack on a seemingly obligatory "never say never," fans should probably prepare themselves for what is looking more and more like the inevitable ...

Glee's season 6 will most likely be its last. Which means these next two seasons are sure to be bittersweet, knowing they'll be the last two. That the end really is in sight.

But I guess it makes sense ... Reilly explained:

There [are] two very clear arcs to get to that end and conclude. Listen, if we discover a new crop of kids and there's some breakout, who knows?

Good point. The "new class" (Marley, Jake, Kitty, Ryder, Wade aka Unique) will end up graduating, and maybe we'll see Rachel, Kurt, and Santana make it to the big time in NYC. After that, there would really be no reason for the show to go on unless they brought on all new New Directions ... the "Third Generation"! And by then, even the most devoted fans may be a bit too burnt out for that. Better that they make sure these last two seasons are solid and as filled with heart as possible, right?

We already know that the conclusion Ryan Murphy and Brad Fulchuk had crafted for the series will change, as a result of Cory Monteith's passing ... And we know we're in for tears, being that the series will tackle the passing of Cory Monteith in the third episode of its upcoming fifth season. If this tribute FOX tweeted today is any indication of what's in store, we better start stocking up on the tissues!

How do you feel about Glee ending after season 6?
