The next season of The Bachelor may not air until January, but the anticipation for Juan Pablo Galavis' season is heating up! And if all things remain in line with the usual plan, they'll probably start shooting as soon as late this month. So it's no wonder there are already spoilers floating around!

Specifically, info about who a few of JuanPabs' lucky ladies are and when they'll arrive in L.A.! Exciiiting! Here's what we know so far ...

Two lovely Chicago ladies are in the mix. Bachelor 2014 contestants 26-year-old Alli Restko and 23-year-old Kylie Lewis both hail from the Windy City, so I'm sure neither would mind spending some time heating things up in JuanPabs' hometown of Miami! Speaking of Miami, Alli graduated from the University of Miami ... Ohio, that is, in 2009. Kylie's a self-described "artist" who seems to love tweeting, song lyrics, and sharing a laugh just as much as the social media-lovin' Bachelor.A fellow professional athlete will vie for Juan Pablo's heart. Twenty-nine-year-old Kat Hurd is a dancer for the Phoenix Suns, who appears to have a bubbly personality, active lifestyle, and of course, hot, fit body. Sounds like a possibly perfect match for JPG ...Will a fellow former athlete may be an even better match? Twenty-six-year-old Val Eredia from Sutter, California is a former volleyball player -- kinda like JuanPabs is a former soccer player ... They could very easily end up bonding over their passion for sports and moving on after being a pro?Let's not underestimate the ambitious teacher with a lot of heart. Ashley Poe, a 25- or 26-year-old from Denton, Texas, says she loves to travel, be active, and of course, school a class full of kids!These 5 future girlfriends and 20 others arrive ... tomorrow! That's right, according to Reality Steve Juan Pablo Galavis' 25 potential future loves start arriving in Los Angeles for filming this Saturday, September 14!

Who do you think sounds like the best pick for JuanPabs of the ladies mentioned? Are you getting more excited for his season?

'Bachelor' Juan Pablo Galavis May Have Just Revealed His Dream Woman to the World

Any day now, Juan Pablo Galavis will begin shooting his hotly anticipated season of The Bachelor, so let the speculation about the lucky bachelorettes begin! We already know casting is gonna have to shoot to find the next Bachelor women with sexy curves, being that the former football player confessed he'd prefer the 25 contestants have "nice BUTTS!" Ha! And yesterday, JuanPabs dropped another hint about his dream woman might be like ...

He tweeted, "Watched ADORE last night and DAMN those MOMS are hot... Naomi Watts and Robin Wright got GAME... #CrazyMovie.” OMG! Adore is about two women who are childhood friends/neighbors and fall in love with one another's sons. Ahh!! Does that mean JuanPabs is looking for a sexy COUGAR?!

Okay, yeah, I hate that term, too. But his clearly turned-on tweet is raising eyebrows that maybe Juan Pablo has a thing for single moms who are slightly older than his 32 years? Maybe he'll be open -- or man, even PREFER -- dating women who are in their mid-to-late-30s, as opposed to a typical 20-something PYT? I wouldn't be surprised!

After all, we've known from the start that JuanPabs would want a woman who could be a wonderful stepmom to his beloved little girl Camila ... And a woman who is an experienced single mom will obviously have a track record to point to! Don't get me wrong: I'm not ruling out a younger or non/not-yet-mom contestant as the possible winner of Juan Pablo's heart. But from the looks of it, the wise mamas in the crowd could certainly end up having better odds!

Do you think Juan Pablo will end up with a hot mama? One who is older than he is?

Viral 'Worst Twerk Fail EVER' Video Revealed to Be Epic Prank! Guess Who’s Behind It?

dinsdag 10 september 2013

We've discussed how whatever Miley Cyrus was doing at the VMAs wasn't really twerking, right? Or maybe we were all too distracted by her cow tongue antics to notice whether or not her booty had any pop. Anyway, regardless of her technical proficiency, it's clear that Miley's performance has encouraged all sorts of people to give the dance craze a try, including a girl named Caitlin, whose YouTube video went viral under this title "Worst twerk fail EVER: girl catches fire!"

That's exactly what happens in the video: she does a handstand against a door, twerks her butt, and then someone opens the door -- which causes her to crash into a nearby table that's covered in candles. The video ends as she shrieks in horror, her pantleg engulfed in flames.

The whole thing is both disturbing and deeply hilarious, and it racked up over 9 million views in less than a week. Now for the good news/bad news: the Twerk Fail Girl is TOTALLY FINE … because the video is a diabolically clever fake.

Here's the original video, which was posted by "Caitlin Heller" on September 3rd:

Caitlin included the following explanation:

I tried making a sexy twerk video for my boyfriend and things got a little too hot :)

WOW! Didn't expect all this attention. I'm fine. Just a little embarrassed!! THX!!

The clip instantly went viral, with some very serious media coverage musing that "It is unclear how badly the girl was injured or who she is," and my favorite, from the NY Daily News, "Twerking is the hot new fad, but for one girl it only left her burned."

As it turns out, the prankster behind the video is none other than Jimmy Kimmel. He revealed the hoax during his show on Monday night, confessing that "Caitlin" is actually a stunt woman named Daphne. Kimmel showed an "extended" version of the clip that includes him appearing (clad in a pink shirt and yoga pants) with a fire extinguisher at the end. Check it out:

I've got to hand it to Kimmel -- that was a masterful troll job. Golf claps for him, but I do think it's a little tragic that we're learning to become suspicious of magical moments supposedly caught on film. Twerking Girl on Fire now joins Golden Eagle Trying to Snatch Toddler in the category of BIG FAT DISAPPOINTING HOAXES. Not that I want people to get burned or eaten by birds of prey, but … oh, you know what I mean.

Did you see this twerk fail video before Jimmy Kimmel confessed it was a prank? Did you think it was real?

'Real Housewives of Orange County Secrets Revealed': Virgins, Vasectomies and Vicki Gunvalson's Toothless Greek God

maandag 2 september 2013

AppId is over the quota

So apparently three entire episodes for the Real Housewives of Orange County reunion wasn’t enough. Tonight Bravo took us behind the orange curtain for the RHOC Secrets Reveled special.

Mostly it was more of what we'd already seen -- including those outfits that they STILL didn't change -- but there were a few interesting tidbits thrown in here and there. Here were three of the most surprising.

1. Lydia McLaughlin and her husband were virgins when they married.

And they dated for THREE YEARS before they got married. Good for them. They seem perfectly happy too.

2. Gretchen Rossi and SladeSmiley may get pregnant before they get married.

Gretchen said they're not attempting to reverse Slade's vasectomy, and are planning to do IVF. She said the only question now is will the wedding or the baby come first. I'm betting on the baby -- let the bump watch begin.

3. Vicki Gunvalson may or may not be involved with a toothless Greek God

Lauri Peterson came back out with a pile of proof to continue her attack on Vicki. First she showed off her college degree to prove that she wasn't some helpless, uneducated victim Vicki (who by the way doesn't have a college degree) took under her wing. Then she went off again on Vicki for her romantic indiscretions, and once again brought up the toothless Greek God Vicki was once involved with ...  and still may be. 

Vicki called Lauri a filthy liar, and just when I was inclined to believe Vicki, they rolled tape to a scene on the bus on the way to Whistler. Vicki did imply that the Greek was still in the picture in some way. When she realized the cameras were rolling, she refused to talk about it anymore. What's really going on there is anybody's guess.

Unfortunately, we'll have to keep on guessing until next season as that was a wrap. Another season of RHOC is done and gone, and we can only begin to imagine  what the next one will be bring. 

Which of these revelations surprises you the most?

'50 Shades of Grey' Movie Casting to Be Revealed After Labor Day!

maandag 26 augustus 2013

AppId is over the quota

by Kiri Blakeley 5 hours ago

Just when we think we know everything there is to know about the casting of the Fifty Shades movie, the damn thing wriggles out of our grasp again. We thought we finally got a handle on who was the frontrunner to play Christian Grey -- actor Charlie Hunnam, a British actor most famous for roles in Sons of Anarchy and Pacific Rim. But according to Variety, which is a pretty solid source, he was never offered the role at all. But continue your guessing game all you like, folks. Fifty fans waited an agonizingly long time for news of a screenwriter and director, and those were eventually named. And now the names of the Fifty Shades of Grey cast is not too far off. In fact, I'd mark your calendars for Labor Day!!!

Reportedly, it is after Labor Day that "official offers" will be announced. I'm guessing this means the cast will be announced, since "offers" of roles are usually not announced. The truth is that scripts are usually sent out to a large number of actors; it doesn't necessarily mean that the role will be theirs. Except for a few A-list billion-dollar box office types, actors still have to audition for a role. And in the case of Fifty Shades, the director will no doubt want to cast the Christian and Ana actors based on their chemistry together.

One guy might be just perfect for Christian; and one woman perfect for Ana. But unless they create dynamite on screen together, it's just not going to work!

Reportedly, Ian Somerhalder, Armie Hammer and Aaron Johnson (the director's husband) have all said they weren't interested in the role of Christian. And recently writer Bret Easton Ellis said that he knows that E.L. James will "never get" her first choice. (I'm in the minority here that E.L. James will have nothing to do with casting. Authors rarely do, no matter how famous.)

As for Ana, actresses Dakota Johnson (Don Johnson and Melanie Griffiths' kid); Alicia Vikander; Imogen Poots and Shailene Woodley have been mentioned. My guess is that big name actresses like Mila Kunis and Amanda Seyfried will be approached first -- that's just the way Hollywood works. And once they all turn it down, then they'll start auditioning relative unknowns.

One name that is also being associated with the flick, you may not expect: Victoria Beckham. Nooooo, she's not going to play Ana. She's reportedly in contention to design the film. I'm personally thinking a lot of leather and latex. And hopefully a cameo by David Beckham. Mmmm.

Fifty Shades must be a strange beast to cast. While it's a very popular novel and will probably be a very popular movie, and also has a respected director and screenwriter -- actors usually don't want to star in S&M films. That's just the fact. Additionally, E.L. James did not produce a work of art. Actors consider themselves artists and no one is going to be dying to be in this film like they might for, say, an adaptation of Madame Bovary. A lot -- everything, actually -- will depend on how good the script is.

So it will be with baited-breath that we wait (but not too long!) to find out who will play Christian and Anastasia.

Who do you think will play them?

Baby North West Revealed for First Time and Boy Is She Cute (PHOTOS)

vrijdag 23 augustus 2013

Finally, the moment we have all been waiting for. During a sit-down interview on the season finale of Kris, Kanye West showed a photo of baby North. And let me just say, the kid is absolutely gorgeous. Though more surprising than the picture itself was what Kanye revealed about his life now that he's a dad. He came off as sweet, endearing, and a times a little shy. Not at all the persona we are used to seeing. Check out the adorable photo and Kanye's most surprising quotes on fatherhood, family, and how his relationship with Kim Kardashian has changed:

On fatherhood: "She’s my joy ... she brought new joy into the world ... no paparazzi, nothing is going to take that joy from me ... It's such a blessing. And I feel like it's given me the stability that I need to really create and really do God's work the way I should ... someone to be responsible for."

How North has changed his relationship with Kim: "It’s really brought us closer ... there’s someone more important to us than us for the first time."

On his weakest moment: "After I lost my mother there were times I would put my life at risk. I didn't feel like I had anything to live for. Now I have two really special people to live for, a whole family to live for, a whole world to live for."

On North following in his footsteps: "I am going to give her the opportunity to develop her different skill sets. And then decide what she likes to do the best ... we will just give her the support and let her follow what she loves the most."

On North growing up in the spotlight: "The biggest thing is protection ... protecting my daughter. Every family member to give my daughter as many opportunities to just be a child ... of course a big thing that plagues us ... is the idea of the paparazzi chasing a 5-year-old around screaming at them."

How North impacted how he feels about the infamous Taylor Swift/VMAs incident: "I think about education and all I want to do is help people ... Last thing I would want for my daughter is some crazy drunk black guy in a leather shirt to come up and cut her off at an awards show."

On pining for Kim: "There’s times when I wasn’t with her that I wanted to be with her so bad that I thought about taking up sports ... I just dreamed about being next to her."

Indeed he did. Kris revealed that when Kanye would get their family Christmas card, he would draw a stick figure of himself next to Kim. Super-sweet, isn't it?

On criticism of his relationship: "That shows me how much I love her ... that I can have people saying ... this is going to damage your credibility as an artist ... I say I don’t care, I love this woman ... I’m being with this person because I love this person ... she’s worth it to me."

On his religious beliefs: "I'm a Christian and wanted to let people know that is what's on my mind. It's important to me that I grow and walk and raise my family with Christian values."

On being around the Kardashian clan: "When I'm out, I try to get home early so that I can be with my family."

On his regrets: "Everything happens for a reason and I've grown from it ... there are times I am alone on the airplane and I let times my own thoughts haunt me. There are times I wish I could get on the cellphone and call a publicist to fix something. But I think I am very, very blessed."

Kate Middleton’s Royal Birth Plan Revealed

woensdag 17 juli 2013

by Adriana Velez 11 hours ago

Well, here we are, Tuesday evening and still no Royal Baby. But just in case you were worried that the Palace isn't 110 percent ready for the big event, rest assured they are. Behold: The Royal Baby Birth Plan. Here it is, step by step, everything that will happen once Kate feels those first little contractions. Here is the carefully orchestrated chain of events that will follow her.

1. Kate will inform her private secretary Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, who will in turn alert Kate's doctor, Marcus Setchell, on a special palace-issued mobile phone. The message will be an encrypted signal ("OMFG, IT'S HAPPENING BITCHEZ!") not even Rebekah Brooks can intercept.

2. Dr. Setchell will hop into his Aston Martin BMW, affix a flashing green light to the roof, and zoom the seven miles from his North London home to St. Mary's Hospital. Press, now you know to look out for a BMW 6 Series with a green flashing light. Who needs to intercept an encrypted signal when you already have this scoop?

3. Kate will be whisked through a side entrance into her newly sanitized, $1,500-a-night room in the Lido Wing. Heavy security is already on site, probably wearing those white hospital booties.

4. Once she's safely in there, the palace will announce the imminent arrival of the Royal Baby, even though the press will have already seen her arrive.

5. Labor and delivery.

Wait, is that it? That's not a birth plan! We still don't know if Kate will be allowed to snack during labor, whether or not she'll allow an episiotomy, what her labor playlist consists of, whether or not she'll use a birthing tub, whether she wants to labor unmedicated. Will she push while standing up or on her back? How about the lighting? So many unanswered questions!

I'm sorry. I led you to believe I would deliver a birth plan, and here instead we have a publicity plan obviously written by a man who has never been anywhere near a deliver room. I guess we'll have to find out all those much more crucial details later.

What about Kate Middleton's birth plan did you want to hear about?
