Netflix Creates A “Co-Watching” Contract That Both People In A Relationship Must Sign Before Binge-Watching

Source: Chesnot / Getty Netflix Has Created “Co-Watching” Contracts For Couples If you’ve ever felt betrayed by your significant other after learning they watched an episode of y’all’s favorite show without you, Netflix might just have the solution for you. The streaming platform  has decided to lay out some rules for binge-watching so that couples can reach an agreement before settling on something to watch. The new  “co-watching” contract is a document that both partners in a relationship must sign, with Netflix listed as a witness for the whole thing. The doc is to be used as an agreement to follow five rules before binge-watching a show together. Those rules of engagement are as follows: I won’t fall asleep I won’t get distracted by my phone causing the other person to rewind because I missed something; I won’t continue watching a show without the other person present; I won’t talk whilst the show is on; In the event that I come across a spoiler, I won’t share it with the other person. This whole thing could definitely be a good idea for a lot us out there who have been left behind by spouses who watched an extra episode after their partner fell asleep early–but some of the rules don’t seem so practical. In the event of some serious binge-watching, it seems unlikely that nobody is going to pick up their phones–and it seems even more unlikely that someone will keep a spoiler to themselves. But it’s a nice sentiment, nonetheless. Could you see your partner signing this co-watching contract?

#RHOA Rumor Control: Is Shamari Devoe Really Peachless After Just ONE Season?

Source: Charles Sykes/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images / Getty Nice try Marlo… Did Shamari Devoe Get Demoted From RHOA? Remember when we told you that rumors were swirling that Shamari Devoe was demoted from RHOA to make room for Kenya Moore’s alleged return ? Well after Marlo Hampton helped fuel those rumors by calling the Blaque singer “peachless”, someone’s shutting down the chatter. theJasmineBRAND spoke with a source who told them that the Shamari Devoe demotion rumors are NOT true. According to the source, the contracts are still in the works and Marlo who’s only been on the show as an “extra”, has no knowledge of contract negotiations. “There is no truth behind that and Marlo for the record, she has been on the show for 6 years and has never been promoted above an extra. Her statements are unfounded and not rooted in anything solid. She has not seen anyone’s contracts, not sure if she has a contract of her own but she has not seen any paperwork regarding Shamari DeVoe. Shamari had a really good time. The audience has loved her. There have not been any contracts, the contracts are in the works.” Hmmm, it does seem a little early for RHOA execs to pull Shamari’s peach. Guess we’ll see… theJasmineBRAND’s source also told them that Shamari didn’t take too kindly to Marlo’s allegations that she’s secretly an alcoholic. During the season viewers saw Shamari get intoxicated at NeNe’s “Bye Wig” party and throw up on Eva’s shoes. The source says however that Shamari’s drinking was all in good fun. “Somebody who has been drinking a little more than normal, of course, their behavior can be interpreted as funny and this and that. Clearly, no one was every scared of Shamari when she was under the influence of her good time with her friends. Shamari feels like she is on the defensive with Marlo. We’re all human, we all would get tired of somebody consistently drilling us about negative things and we know that we’re not.” Seeing Shamari let loose was pretty entertaining. Do YOU want to see Shamari Devoe on the next season of RHOA???

‘Empire’ Recap: Jamal Makes A Power Move To Get Money Flowing Again

View post:

Source: FOX / Getty Tonight’s episode of Empire picks up with Cookie reading all the trolly headlines about the Lyon Family’s money woes to Jamal and Hakeem. She is pissed, especially because Lucious blew up their spot. It’s just another reminder that they have some work to do. Things get worse when they find out that Andre isn’t coming home today (Lucious went to pick him up and got let down). He’s in the hole due to that fight he had with the bully he has been beefing with. That situation is far from over and we’re not even sure when Dre is coming home, but the Lyon Family has to move forward. Lucious reveals that he found some new office space and he’s meeting with investors soon. They also want Hakeem and Jamal to sign with them, but they’re still signed to Empire so we all know that breaking those contracts are not going to be easy. It comes as no surprise when Hakeem and Jamal visit Kingsley at Empire and are met with contempt when they try to get out of their contracts. Kingsley mocks Hakeem’s bad lung (but Jamal has been working with him on figuring out new ways to breathe so this is going to get better) and reminds Jamal that he better turn in that album he owes or he’ll never release any music ever again.   Things go even further downhill when Lucious’ money people decide not to loan him money after all. In related news, we find out that Candace convinced Cookie to buy a loft in SoHo a while back and to keep that information secret from Lucious. The point of purchasing the loft was to have some collateral in case Lucious ditched Cookie again. You know things were looking real shaky with Giuliana for a hot second. Welp, Candace is smart because now Cookie is going to put the loft up for sale. We all know that lofts in SoHo go for a grip. Lucious visits Thirsty’s office to see if he’ll join their new venture. He’s an ambulance chaser now and he’s doing well in business. He’s also giving Lucious the side eye because he hasn’t really heard from him in over a year yet here he is in his face, once again needing something. However, Thirsty used to come through in the clutch, for all of Lucious’ illicit activities, so surely he’ll be back… Right? RIGHT?!  Part of Andre’s beef with the jail bully is that he has been harassing a kid named Quincy. We don’t know what Quincy did, but it’s obvious that Quincy belongs in college and that he’s smart and may even be in there on some numbers or tech related crime. Dre probably sees himself in Quincy and decides to protect him. That’s cool and all, but something about this seems strategic as well. Lucious confronts Kingsley at Empire because he has been playing games and even stole the office space that Lucious had been looking at. These people can’t do anything original, can they? Anyway, Kingsley kicks that bs about this just being about business, but Lucious is ready to take it to the streets. He even threatens him and says that if he keeps up this “business” strategy then he might meet his maker. Kingsley ain’t scared though. We know he has more tricks up his sleeves. Lucious and Cookie decide to turn their home into Empire headquarters since there’s no office space. Cookie’s sisters are on board helping the family business, so is Porsha. Thirsty decided to come back like we knew he would and Lucious is trying to get Becky to return too. That’s still up in the air but she is present for their first business event in their living room. Thirsty helped them land some new potential investors. One of the investors tries to be shady about the setup but Cookie shuts that down then Lucious reminds them that the greatest acts at Empire have all been Lyons, and he wants to demonstrate that. So, without further adieu, Jamal and Hakeem take the stage. Hakeem is obviously nervous about this, but it turns out that the work they’ve been doing with his breathing worked. The song is a hit and Hakeem is back rapping again. Tonight is mostly a success, except for the fact that Becky turned Lucious down, and she has every right because she’s potentially getting a promotion at Empire, something Lucious kept overlooking her for. Plus, the way Lucious is talking to her is all types of stupid so no one can blame her. Jamal turns in the music, including he and Hakeem’s new song, he created in to Kingsley. This should fulfill his contractual obligations to Empire. Kingsley likes the music and thinks he’s all set, but Jamal wants checks cut out to all of his family because every track samples something from past music contributed by a Lyon. Kingsely tries to get around this by claiming that samples can be stripped down but they cant according to Jamal’s soundtrack. Kingsley is tight and that’s when we see him telling his assistant to arrange a visit to a correctional facility. Speaking of, that bully inmate finally ends up getting killed while Andre is in the hole. Dre is obviously pleased with this news as this is all part of his plan. Then, we end the episode with Kingsley visiting, wait for it, Diana DuBois! The Lyon’s enemy is a friend of his. Hold on tight, because Dre will be out next week!

Taylor Swift and Katy Perry: Did They Finally Bury the Hatchet?!

It feels like Taylor Swift and Katy Perry have been stuck in this petty feud forever, doesn’t it? Like, yes, it has been literal years since the first became mortal enemies, but still, it’s really been dragging out. It’s been over three years now since Taylor released “Bad Blood” — and since she revealed that it was about a fellow pop star . “For years, I was never sure if we were friends or not,” Taylor said in a 2014 interview. “She would come up to me at awards shows and say something and walk away, and I would think, ‘Are we friends, or did she just give me the harshest insult of my life?'” She said that the previous year (2013 if you’re keeping up, which means that this feud is nearly five years old) “she did something so horrible” that made her realize “Oh, we’re just straight up enemies.” “It had to do with business,” she explained. “She basically tried to sabotage an entire arena tour. She tried to hire a bunch of people out from under me.” In all the time since this whole mess began, we learned what really happened: there were some backup dancers who toured with Katy, and then they toured with Taylor. Before they went on tour with Taylor, Katy told them that she’d be touring again soon too, so if they wanted to work with her again, to be sure to work that out in their contracts with Taylor. So they did, and when it was time for Katy’s tour, they left Taylor’s. That’s it. That’s what this whole dumb thing is about. Things sort of simmered for a while — they both acted shady here and there , or they did things that were perceived to be shady. But earlier this year, Katy finally retaliated by releasing a diss track of her own in “Swish Swish.” And after she released the song, she spent a whole, whole lot of time talking about Taylor. She accused her of trying to ” assassinate my character ,” and she hinted that “karma” would be coming for her. “There is the law of cause and effect,” Katy said in one interview. “You do something and there’s gonna be a reaction. And trust me, daddy, there’s gonna be a reaction.” Then, in a podcast she did to promote her new album back in June, she said that she was ” ready to let it go .” “I forgive her and I’m sorry for anything I ever did, and I hope the same from her,” she said. “I think it’s actually, like, I think it’s time.” “There are bigger fish to fry, and there are real problems in the world. You know what I’m saying? I love her, and I want the best for her.” “Maybe I don’t agree with everything she does,” she continued, “and she doesn’t agree with everything I do, but I just really, truly want to come together in a place of love and forgiveness and understanding and compassion.” And according to some new reports, it looks like they’ve finally been able to do that! Taylor has been spotted in Miami this week, filming a music video for her song, “End Game.” And according to several people who spotted her, one of her backup dancers looks a whole, whole lot like Katy. A source spoke with E! News and confirmed that Katy did film with Taylor, and that they made up while they were both in Miami. We guess we’ll see if it’s true when the video comes out, but we do know that Katy was down in Florida earlier this week on her tour, so it’s definitely possible she could have set aside time to hang with Taylor. So could it be? Is the dumb pop star feud of the century finally over?! And if it is, is anyone else just a little disappointed? View Slideshow: 21 Celebrity Feuds We Never Saw Coming

Nick Viall: Whoa! I’m The Bachelor?!?

Are you still shocked that  Nick Viall has been chosen as the next Bachelor on ABC? You’re not alone. Nick Viall is as stunned as anyone. A few days after Viall appeared on the Bachelor in Paradise after-show to announce the news, he’s made it clear over Instagram that he still can’t believe it’s true. Yes, he’s appeared twice on The Bachelorette and is currently a cast member on the aforementioned franchise spinoff. But still. He’s getting a FOURTH shot at love?!? “The look when it hasn’t quite sunk in yet,” Viall wrote as a caption to the selfie above, adding: “Couldn’t feel more fortunate. Incredibly thankful for all the support. We are going to have some fun! #thebachelor.” Not everyone agrees with this assessment, of course. There’s a petition going around to have both Viall AND Pell as the Bachelors this spring, with the women on the show eventually deciding who ought to be the sole star. Viall, however, seems immune to the criticism. Soon after being confirmed as The Bachelor, he posted with the After Paradise crew (above) and wrote on his Instagram account: “Wow!! Couldn’t be more excited, nervous, and thankful for this opportunity!! It’s going to be a wild ride. “Thank you to everyone for all their support! So thankful!!!! HERE WE GO!! #thebachelor #bachelorinparadise #thankyou.” Most fans of The Bachelor had assumed that Pell would earn this gig, and that includes Pell himself. He’s gone on record in saying just how close he actually got to standing alongside Chris Harrison when the series returns next year. “We were all satisfied, had agreed to the contracts and everything was moving forward,” Pell told Us Weekly on Thursday. “I was checked in to my flight to come to L.A. I got a call from producers Sunday night at about 10 p.m. They said ABC had decided to quote-unquote go in a different direction. “I was supposed to fly out Monday morning at 9 a.m. I had my bags packed and everything. Most dramatic Monday ever!” Wow, yeah. We’d say so. Do you think ABC made the right call? Who would YOU want to see as the Bachelor number-21? And the Winner is? Nick Viall Click Here To Vote for Nick Luke Pell Click Here To Vote for Luke Nick Viall will be The Bachelor in the spring of 2017. But would you prefer to have seen Luke Pell picked for this position? View Poll » Viall has finished twice as the runner-up on The Bachelorette. Many see him as an odd selection because he’s actively involved these days with Bachelor in Paradise, meaning he’s seemingly looking for love on television this summer already. Lauren Himle – who costarred with Viall on Season 3 of that show – told Detroit’s The Ticket radio station a few days ago that she isn’t happy with how the newly-crowned Bachelor treated Jen Saviano.  “I am not a big fan of [Viall],” said Himle. “He dated my great friend Jen on Bachelor in Paradise … but it was my understanding that they were still seeing each other after the show completed.” Wait… so how serious were Viall and Saviano after the ABC dating show concluded filming? Himle said they were “still together in a relationship.” And this was just last week! View Slideshow: Nick Viall as The Bachelor: Twitter Reacts! The Bachelor producers, of course, is probably loving this controversy. Look at how many headlines the casting of Viall has generated over the past few days? Viewers may claim that they won’t tune in to see Viall search for a wife again next spring, but let’s face it: they will. Even if you hate watch The Bachelor online or on television, you are still watching it. ABC will gladly take your eyeballs and the ratings they bring in.

Jessica Simpson’s Lazy Workout Video of the Day

Jessica Simpson posted this fitness video because she’s not 300 pounds anymore – so she’s clearly someone who knows fitness, thanks to trainers and personal chefs and a million dollar weight watcher contracts that depended on her getting in shape, she even tried to get pregnant to get out of it..but she powered through – is still chubby, probably got some liposuction or stomach stapling – because based on her warm-up video for her fat audience that shop the Jessica Simpson collection at Walmart or Target – she’s never actually worked out before…she looks awkward and confused “this isn’t a turkey leg or pizza slice or baby back ribs, what do I do with it”…. But weirdly enough, I still like it… The post Jessica Simpson’s Lazy Workout Video of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepfather .

Elsa Pataky Ass in a Weird Diaper of the Day

Fast and Furious Elsa Pataky is pretty fucking old and a mom…so this weird extra ass cheek fold in her ass shouldn’t be an imperfection to mock, but rather one to celebrate, since her Spanish genetics, have allowed her to breed without as much damage as most white people have after they breed, because I guess Spanish people need to breed, it’s culturally in their DNA, survival…and in their religion…Catholicsm…where white people just do it so they can eat whatever the fuck they want for the rest of their life because they are done being attractive and virtually throw in the towel…where as Elsa Pataky has a career to continue…these Fast and Furious movies will go on forever…and at 40…she’s gotta work to keep those paychecks coming in… All this to say…weird bikini choice….

Lauren Cohan for Shape Magazine of the Day

Lauren Cohan is some 32 OR 33 year old from Walking Dead, a show that is so fucking popular, I don’t even know if it is still on the air, but still so fucking popular it might as well be, a show I don’t watch because Zombies bore me… Maybe I’m autistic, because I can’t fuck with people fighting off Zombies knowing zombeis don’t exist…it’s a lie…so I can’t wrap my head or imagination around it… But if zombies did exist, and this show was a reality show, I’d be in the front row because I would be into watching humans run for their fucking lives, trying to survive their corpse monsters who want to eat their brains, but only because I think humanity would lose….but in the grand scheme of things, it’d be a reset, since our system is totally fucking backwards…and mass death would probably allow us to see what is important….selling survival supplies at a premium… Either way, she’s fit, or fit enough for a Shape or fitness magazine, she’s on TV and should be fit, and these are the pics…I assume her fans can jerk off to because that’s how fans work…they are into the things they are fans of…… I guess she’s in shape, literally, but not necessarily, this magazine has featured Oprah on their cover…they fucking love photoshop..

Chloe Grace Moretz in Snow in Heels of the Day

She’s getting high concept….naked under a fur coat in heels in the snow… I feel like this is a high school or even a junior college art project about the animalistic survival mechanism in nature contrasted with modern day luxury and the idea of beauty through nudity, heels and overall sex appeal…. Right? That’s what she’s going for right? Right? I mean we’re all trying to jerk off to her skinny legs all vulnerable in the snow…needing one of us to shovel her out of the ditch she stuck in…only to repay us by spreading those legs….or bending over the the snowplow on the truck…in the most Canadian winter fantasy around….except in Canada, we were probably legally allowed to have vaginal sex with her when all of America fell in love with her, since 18 isn’t the legal age here…but I guess the fact that people couldn’t fuck her is part of why people like her…fucking perverts… The post Chloe Grace Moretz in Snow in Heels of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepfather .

Alessandra Ambrosio’s Round Fake Tits in a Bikini of the Day

Alessandra Ambrosio’s breast implants are clown-like… These are tit tits that get paid millions of dollars a year to be put in a bikini..along with an average looking 35 year old face… Yet they are so clown-like… Just little round bolt ons she probably paid 5k for, making for a solid ROI, paid for themselves dozens of times over…. I’m not sure if the tits happened post baby deflated from all the milk sucking…or if she’s always had them… I’m just not impressed when fake is celebrated or hired and paid stupid money…especially when fake is THIS fake…like circles drawn onto her…in a world where there are thousands of actual great tits better suited for the contracts she’s been milking, something she can’t do with her tits, since they are plastic, all these years… Yes, I hate fake tits… TO SEE THE REST OF THE PICS CLICK HERE The post Alessandra Ambrosio’s Round Fake Tits in a Bikini of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepfather .
