Heather Graham ‘s sexy comeback continues with these red carpet pictures from the At Any Price premiere, which appears to be co-sponsored by a hot dog chain, so you just know it’s gonna be an Oscar contender. Anyway, I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that Heather is going to appear on Californication soon. And given the show’s proud, storied tradition of nudity, combined with Heather’s, I have a feeling this comeback of hers is going to last a while longer. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go set my DVR. » view all 23 photos Related Articles: Heather Graham Ruins A See Through Moment Heather Graham Is Smokin’ Heather Graham’s Lesbian Comeback Heather Graham Gets Back The Sexiness Photos: WENN.com
The Real Housewives of New York City reaches its less than explosive conclusion in Reunion Part 2. Who wants blood? Who still wants an apology and who just wants toast? We recap it all in our THG +/- review. We revisit LuAnn’s alleged night with Tomas in St. Barths and even she has to admit the stories she wove sound ridiculous. Plus 10. Jacques was invited to the reunion show but declined to make an appearance. Plus 8. I actually think more of him for staying away. Rest assured, LuAnn says she and Jacques are still together. I know how worried everyone was over that. When LuAnn explains everything that happened that night in St. Barths, it sounds almost plausible but Ramona’s not about to let it go. She tells Andy that “LuAnn loves her men and can’t keep her hands off them.” But then claims she won’t take it any further. Why even go there if she’s not looking to stir up trouble? She even goes so far as to allude that LuAnn has an open relationship. LuAnn tells her she needs to stop unless she wants blood. Minus 12 . to Ramona who can’t stop playing games to get under LuAnn’s skin. Then Carole jumps in on the LuAnn bashing as she wonders aloud why LuAnn would act like that if she was worried what her kids back home might see. Minus 10. Carole’s one of the more mild mannered Housewives but she does enjoying taking her shots at LuAnn. Andy asks why Aviva was so upset about Sonja’s extracurricular activities in St. Barths but she really didn’t have an answer. Some of the viewer questions were great… Since George is such a disgusting, inappropriate, dirty old man, isn’t it low class to be pimping your friends out to your letch of a father? Plus 13. Aviva says it’s comparing apples and oranges and apparently doesn’t regret trying to set up dear old dad with Sonja but wouldn’t have done it to good friend Carole. I’m tired of hearing how much Aviva cares about Sonja. It simply doesn’t ring true. Aviva acts like she never said any of those horrible things about Sonja, even when they reshow them all. Minus 15 . Sonja doesn’t look like she’s going to be forgiving Aviva any time soon. Enough about George and Aviva and on to Toaster Gate! I can’t believe we’re spending screen time on a toaster oven. Minus 9. Did I mention this season was boring? Sonja and Heather argue over logos and boxes and oven mitts. Yawn… The funniest moment comes when Andy has to point out to Sonja that she might be pissing Heather off. She backtracks and says she’s happy with Heather’s work but maybe they shouldn’t work together anymore. Ya think?. Andy stops the show to tell Ramona her lip stick is making her look like a mental patient. Plus 18. I love Andy. Ramona feels that nothing she’s done has deserved Aviva’s behavior. Well, maybe not nothing but I won’t deny that Aviva is a nutjob. But Aviva doesn’t see it as beating up on Ramona. She doesn’t see her crazy, vicious behavior. Why does Heather look so pleased watching these two go back and forth? Andy runs down the litany of the name calling that Ramona has endured from Aviva this season. According to Aviva, Ramona is ill mannered, malicious, sick, needs rehab, drove Sonja to drink, and disgusts her and don’t forget that Aviva’s father called her a trailer turd. Yet Aviva wants the apology? Minus 20. Aviva says her mother died of complications due to alcoholism so she admits that she overreacted to Ramona and Sonja’s drinking. OK, we’ll cut the crazy woman some slack. Andy points out that Jill and Kelly always thought Ramona had a drinking problem and he obviously hits a nerve as Ramona flips out on him. Minus 10 . But Carole and Heather don’t see her drinking as an issue.. Andy asks if the ladies are feeling a sense of resolution now that the season is over. Ramona says feels less resolved than she ever has on a reunion show. Well, what did you think of the new Housewives? Would you invite any of them back for next season? Episode total = -7! Season total = 373!
The day before his sentencing, former Penn State football coach and convicted child molester Jerry Sandusky has released a statement from jail. In it, Sandusky alleges that an enormous conspiracy has been working against him, starting with “a young man who was dramatic, a veteran accuser [who] always sought attention.” Jerry Sandusky Jailhouse Rcording Sandusky goes on to say this man was “was joined by a well-orchestrated effort of the media,” in conspiring to paint him as a monster, including “investigators, the system, Penn State, psychologists, civil attorneys and other accusers. “They won,” he adds. ‘I’ve wondered what they really won: Attention, financial gain, prestige… will all be temporary.” Also mentioned in the recording: how he was not treated to a fair trial; that his accusers are solely after money; and that he has only ever had sex with his wife. Sandusky faces 400 years in prison and will be sentenced tomorrow.
The Real Housewives of New York City get hot and bothered on part one of their “Reunion” show. We recap all of the catty confrontations in our THG +/- review. “Holla!” is what Heather yells out in her opening clip of the show and it’s always annoyed me. She thinks it sounds real. Really? Minus 10 . It just sounds silly coming out of a grown woman’s mouth. Shocked, worried, and sad were the reactions when the new Housewives came on board and the old were let go. Who knew that boring and annoying would be the end result for the season. Minus 15 . Carole says as a journalist she was drawn to the spectacle that is the Housewives. Well, if she was searching for spectacle she certainly came to the right place. Oh must we watch the London trip one more time? It’s sort of painful. The Royal Wars between Carole and LuAnn are just pretentious nonsense. Minus 8 . “That’s not the kind of princess that I know.” LuAnn’s title dropping again. Honestly, this is the silliest fight. Carole’s being overly sensitive and LuAnn’s being dense. Carole accuses LuAnn of “friend jumping.” I think we’ve reverted back to the eighth grade. Minus 7 . Who knew there was so much animosity against LuAnn. Heather and Carole keep going after her about borrowing a dress from a designer. I’d give out extra points if they’d drop it. Carole said things in interviews that no one had any idea she was thinking, which makes me like her both more and less. Finally we move on but it’s only to talk about Aviva’s ex. Everyone has slept with Harry. You’d think they wouldn’t brag about it. It’s not like the guy’s a looker but I guess he has money and perhaps a certain amount of charm. That or he’s just really good in bed. Plus 10 to Aviva for asking that she and Sonja stop talking about their exes and their children. Too bad Sonja didn’t take the hint. Oh Aviva and her anxieties and issues are overwhelming when you put them all in one montage. Fear of heights, fear of flying, fear of elevators, tap water, etc., etc. OK being trapped for three hours while her leg was being eaten by a conveyor belt when she was six is completely horrifying. That would mess anyone up. It’s not the big bottle of anxiety that makes me dislike Aviva so much. It’s the mean girl streak that came out so frequently at the end of the season. Minus 12 . A viewer says Aviva makes everything about her phobias and at least she admits to it this time. Plus 10 . Now we move on to the Heather / Ramona wars. Neither one of them knows when to shut up. They even agree that that’s the truth of it. Plus 11 for burying the hatchet and not in one another’s backs this time. Watching the clips of Aviva’s craziness in St Barths is kind of scary. She really did come unhinged, even she admits to it. Plus 8 . Aviva tries to apologize but Sonja and Ramona aren’t buying it. I can’t say as I blame them. Aviva was vicious in her tirades against them. Maybe they got her meds right this time but I still don’t trust her. Plus 15 to Heather for calling LuAnn out on her bull. She absolutely stirred the pot in St. Barths. As Ramona put it, it was classic LuAnn. Aviva profusely apologizes but Ramona says she can’t forget how she bad mouthed her and Sonja in her blog even after the shows aired. She claims Aviva didn’t change her tune until the viewers began hating her. The viewers write in to hold Reid accountable for his comments as he called the women, “pent up cougars,” and “over weight girls gone wild.” Yeah, it wasn’t pretty. Minus 13 . It looks like the debacle on St Barths just won’t go away and we’ll rehash it all some more next week for part two. Episode total = -11! Season total = -366!
The Real Housewives of New York City finish off their trip to London and head back home. But “Good Trip, Bad Fall” finds the ladies in a bitter battle of royal proportions. Let’s recap showdowns in our THG +/- review. Um…what is Sonja doing?
If The Bachelorette star Emily Maynard felt that her decision to cut Chris loose after last week’s hometown dates was hard, this one was near impossible. Things got even more serious, emotional and dramatic in Curacao as Emily went on very romantic dates with Arie Luyendyk, Jr., Sean Lowe and Jef Holm. Three worthy candidates, only two roses in play. Who would she pick? And how would she handle the fantasy suite card situation, given that she’s a mom? Follow this link for all The Bachelorette spoilers we know about the July 22 finale, then continue on for THG’s +/- recap of the penultimate episode! Obligatory Curacao nature montage and recap of the final three guys and their “journey” with Emily so far. Minus 4 for the even-longer-than-average filler. Emily has nice penmanship, even in sand. Plus 2 . Sean’s shoes match his blue shirt perfectly. What guy does that? Apparently Sean Lowe, Ames Brown and Pauly D. Minus 5 , in spite of the obvious effort. Look at Sean, getting all flustered talking about his ex … and a little more unnerved trying to open up to Emily. Cute or a red flag? Hard to read. Even . Time’s running out to go there, Sean. Minus 10 . His letter to Ricki made it dusty in here. Plus 25 . Still holding something back, though. Just say it man. Go on. Okay, that kind of counts for redemption. Gotta love that the fantasy suite card is from Chris Harrison. Host-pimp sure knows how to take care of his ridiculously attractive employees. Plus 15 . Plus 20 for Emily calling it a night solo. Even after the hot tub makeout session no less. Girl’s priorities and commitment are pretty impressive. Minus 5 , because as awesome as Sean is, do they lack a spark? Is he too safe? Not exciting enough for Emily, who seems to like guys with an edge? Jef Holm has vaulted from dark horse to full-on frontrunner status. “I’m so happy with where our relationship is right now.” What more can Emily say? “I hope to be the second biggest part of Emily’s life.” – Jef. Smart guy. Plus 10 . There’s a level of communication here that transcends Sean’s. “The sun is setting here in Curacao, but for me and Emily, our whole life together is just beginning.” – Jef/ Bachelorette staff writers. Groan. Minus 5. Emily says she’d move to “wherever you are.” Woman certainly knows what she wants, and more and more, that appears to be Jef. Plus 9 . This is the most serious date in Bachelorette history. Why are you still single? Would Ricki like me? Not leaving anything on the table, are we? Jef quasi-rebuffs the Fantasy Suite invite before Emily can do it to him. Guy’s been playing hard to get from the get-go. Interesting tactic. Plus 7 . “There is a time and a place for everything, and now is the time to bridle these passions.” Very mature move, but who talks like that? Minus 14 . “My connection with Arie was literally almost immediate.” – Emily. That makes literally almost no sense, but we totally get it, so Minus only 3 . “We always want to kiss each other, and it feels great.” – Arie. Well put. Minus 7 . Swimming with the dolphins looks awesome. But not as much as kissing, which is all they seem to do. All of his “top moments” involve kissing. Hey, they’re both good at it. Who wouldn’t want to make out with either of them? So Plus 11 . Ah, but back to reality … what does Arie Luyendyk, Jr. do on a Tuesday morning?! No one knows! Minus 10 , because physical chemistry and dream dates will only carry you so far, even on The Bachelorette . Jef may have the edge as a result. Arie sleeps until 9 and goes out to dinner every night? Not exactly stepfather stuff … but he does seem legitimately interested in Ricki, so Plus 7 . Emily makes Arie feel like a natural man. Or something. Plus 3 ? He’s SO good looking … Emily won’t give him the fantasy suite card because she doesn’t trust herself! The Bachelorette: Mom Edition definitely lacks the sleaze factor of past seasons. Plus 25 , even if it’s sometimes less entertaining. Fireside chat with Chris/filler time. Minus 8 . To paraphrase Chris from like every episode … this could be one of the hardest decisions in Bachelorette history. She seems genuinely interested in all three guys and unsure of who she’ll send home. Break out the tissues early. But she’s got great clothes. Plus 2 . Sean goes all in on his video message at least. Will it be too little, too late against Jef and his usual eloquence, or Arie’s surprisingly moving profession of love? All of them collectively, combined with the circumstances, move her to tears. Plus 10 . Long speech. Longer pause. JEF. Even longer pause. ARIE. Poor Sean. That ranks among the saddest goodbyes in recent memory. Minus 20 . EPISODE TOTAL: +47. SEASON TOTAL: +171. Did Emily Maynard make the right call sending home Sean Lowe? Who do you think she should choose on The Bachelorette finale?
