Big Brother Recap: A Pectacular Performance

Last week’s elimination of Shelly put Rachel in position to wrest control of the house in an HOH competition that featured three people she could easily beat. Did she step it up, or did Adam, the beacon of Big Brother uselessness, pull off a major upset? Could Kalia win a surprising third week in power this summer? More importantly, what “celebrity” visits made this installment one of the more absurd in awhile? THG recaps Sunday night’s Big Brother episode below … Plus 10 because Jeff and Daniele were clearly the best players in the house. You can still see their alliances going to war with each other, weeks later! Minus 15 because the producers obviously set up this competition for Rachel to win HOH. On her hands and knees covered in clear, sticky goo? Sorry. Adam didn’t do a terrible job, but his winless streak continues, save for the one veto he was allowed to win by BFF/puppet master Jeff. Weak. Minus 4 . Jordan ate some of the real sprinkles “that were left over.” Plus 3 . “We’re very similar in lots of ways.” – Kalia to Rachel. Plus 8 for this not-untrue analysis. Rachel and Kalia have both hidden behind their lead alliance member at times, but also struck with aggressive moves when needed. Kalia knows she’s the target, but doesn’t lose sleep over it at least. Plus 7 . Porsche again tries to talk “game” with hilarious results. Minus 5 . We would love to say that Adam has, somehow, positioned himself adeptly to win this because of his harmless ways. But no, he really is just bad at Big Brother . He will lose, decisively, in the next three competitions and is no threat. Minus 9 . He’s a good dude, though, and was rewarded with a visit from Tori Spelling after Rachel (of course) opened Pandora’s Box and CBS pulled a bait-and-switch, leaving the HOH stuck in there with Jessie Godderz instead. Ouch. Plus 7 . Does Jessie live in that room? He’s doing this every season. Eh, Plus 2 . Fanboy Adam maintained his dignity, mostly, even if he did tell the TMI story of calling his girlfriend “Donna.” Minus only 3 because it could’ve been worse. For instance, Rachel’s driving record is far more embarrassing. Minus 6 . Rachel makes the obvious right decision to nominate Kalia and Porsche, setting up a veto battle where Adam will be the replacement nominee, and safe, if either wins. But if the nominations stay the same, all bets are off. Plus 5 . Would Rachel actually dispatch Jordan via the back door if she could? That’s the one person remaining she’d never beat in a jury vote … Nah. Minus 5 . EPISODE TOTAL: -5. SEASON TOTAL: +71. Who’s going to win Big Brother 13?

Mark Ronson and Josephine De La Baume: Married!

Mark Ronson tied the knot with French model-actress Josephine De La Baume in France on Saturday, according to reports . They wed in Aix-en-Provence. Instead of a standard black-and-white tuxedo, the hip musician and producer opted for a three-piece candy-striped suit and a pair of Ray-Ban shades. His stunning bride made an equally unforgettable mark in a custom-designed creation by designer pal Zac Posen: a low-cut gown with a cropped veil. Ronson is perhaps best known for producing Amy Winehouse ‘s classic Back to Black, and his late friend’s absence was keenly felt at the wedding bash. “Amy was a great friend of both Mark and Josephine and they would have been thrilled to have her at their big day, but it wasn’t to be,” says the source. “Amy would definitely have sung at the wedding if she were still alive, as she meant to much to both of them. Her death devastated the pair of them.” Guests included his sister, DJ Samantha Ronson , her fashion designer twin Charlotte Ronson, model Kate Moss and singer Lily Allen. Congrats to the couple!

Prince Harry to Throw it Down in Vegas

Prince Harry is coming to the U.S. for military training, but the royal will manage to see some of our nation’s notable sights while stateside as well. Prince William’s little brother, 26, is getting ready to spend 12 weeks in both California and Arizona in an intense Apache helicopter training course. However, The Daily Mirror reports that party-animal Harry and his fellow pilots will spend a wild 48 hours in Las Vegas midway during his training. A military source told the British newspaper that the Vegas bender is a “traditional” breather for Apache trainees. Prince Harry will surely oblige. “The course doesn’t have much downtime. It’s pretty intense. This is a chance for pilots to let their hair down, kick back and enjoy themselves.” Called “Exercise Crimson Eagle,” Harry’s California and Arizona training is “environmental training, live firing and tactical exercises,” his rep said. Once the “spare” wraps up his Stateside training, he will be a full-fledged Apache pilot, and could be re-deployed to the front lines in Afghanistan. [Photo: WENN.com]
