Big Brother Recap: Who Made Final Three?

Things are getting super predictable in the Big Brother house and that’s down to the fact there are just a handful of houseguests left.  James knew he would need to work both sides of the house to try and ensure he made it out of the eviction.  We picked up pretty quickly with the nominations ceremony and the nominations were no shocker.  Paul nominated Corey and Nicole for eviction.  Surprisingly, this was the first time Nicole was on the block this season. In her season, she was evicted twice, so this shows she has changed her game play this season.  With Nicorey on the block, James knew the veto holder would hold all the power and if one of Nicorey won, he would be going home.  Nicole was first out of the competition and it came down to Paul and Corey.  It was a tense segment of the episode because it would make or break one of their chances for the prize.  It’s crazy that Corey is actually playing the game now.  He just lay in bed with Nicole all summer long.  Maybe that was part of his plan all along.  Who would have thought that he would sit around all summer and play when he really needed to? Not me. He and Nicole have played very similar games, but Nicole seems to be taking the brunt of it from the jury members.  When we picked up with them, Michelle proved she was obsessed with Nicole by drawing multiple pictures of her as a snake.  Seriously, the chick is deluded to be blaming Nicole. Michelle only has herself to blame for being in the jury house.  You have to win competitions and have a good social game to make it in the Big Brother house.  Beyond being a super fan, Michelle brought nothing but tears and tantrums to the house.  Natalie’s arrival paved the way for the biggest jury bust up yet. Something seemed off about the way Paulie started being rude to Natalie.  It seemed scripted, and Da’vonne was only happy to join in on the arguing.  It appears that Zakiyah and Paul are now very much paired up again and that’s rubbed the women the wrong way.  Security had to step in when Paulie brought Da’vonne’s daughter into the argument and things got very heated.  I genuinely thought Da’vonne was going to beat Paulie up right here. He was clearly taken aback by her being all up in his grill, but he kind of deserved it.  He’s treated the women of the house like crap all season long. Heck, even Julie Chen seemed shocked by all of the events.  The jury was rocked by the arrival of Victor, who most thought would go on to win the whole thing.  Da’vonne spoke to the camera and confirmed that Nicole has been playing the game when she needs to.  Might Nicole actually win the whole thing?  When we picked back up with the main house, James evicted Corey.  View Slideshow: 12 Big Brother Houseguests We Loved… Or Loved to Hate When he got out of the house, Corey revealed that he was shocked James took him out. That leaves us with our final three houseguests of the season! Who do you think will win it all? Hit the comments below! View Slideshow: 10 Best Reality TV Meltdowns EVER

Hilaria Baldwin Shows Off "Real Body" One Day After Giving Birth

Can we get a slow clap for Hilaria Baldwin please? The wife of Alec Baldwin gave birth to her third child on Monday. To be even more specific and impressive, the wife of Alec Baldwin gave birth to her third child in about three years on Monday. She and the actor welcomed a little boy named Leonardo Angel Charles in New York City. Fast forward one day – yes, one day ! – and Baldwin stripped down to her underwear for a selfie we can’t imagine many other women being willing to take. “I took this yesterday when Leonardo was about 24 hours old,” the 32-year old yoga teacher wrote. “I did the same thing right after [second son] Rafael was born.” It’s true. She did. In that case, however, Hilaria waited four days before posting the selfie below: In both cases, Baldwin is standing in front of a mirror, her belly very much exposed. We’ve seen models and other women flaunt their impressive, sleek post-baby bodies six or eight weeks after giving birth in the past. But it’s hard to remember anyone doing it as soon as Hilaria is here. And it’s important to note: She isn’t showing off how much weight she has lost since becoming a mother. Quite the opposite, in fact. “It always makes me a bit nervous to do something like this,” she added on Wednesday. “But I feel that in the age of such strong body shaming, I want to do all that I can to normalize a real body and promote healthy self esteem.” What a great message, right? She continued: “Many of you know that I love to show the process of life’s experiences on the body and I am a firm believer in how a good diet and the right balance of exercise make us happy, healthy, and strong. “So from here on, I want to dedicate the majority of my #366daysoflivingclearly #hilarialcm daily posts to getting back in shape and I invite you to do it with me. “Common questions last time were: Did I have a c section?: No, I pushed him out Where are all the pads for bleeding?: I took them out briefly to snap this pic as there is a limit to how much you need to see. “Where am I?: in the hospital room bathroom #glamour Oh, and no filter. Just brightened it up a bit.” You have to admire Baldwin’s overall attitude here, don’t you? And you also have to love the photo she added to Instagram of her daughter, Carmen, meeting her new brother for the first time. It’s so frickin cute!!!!!!!!!

Ryan Edwards Teases "Surprise" Pregnancy, No One’s Amused

Ryan Edwards may be a lot of things, but what he is not is ready to be a dad again.  In a clip from Teen Mom OG, Edwards joked to his parents that a brother and sister for Bentley, 7 (mom is ex-girlfriend, Maci Bookout). The comment was prompted by a discussion of more kids for the Tennessee native, and how Mr. and Mrs. Edwards didn't see their son “on any kind of path to have more kids right now,” and that they “needed to find” him a woman. “Bentley will be grown before you have another one,” Mrs. Edwards told her son. In his usual doofy tone, Edwards said to his parents, “I could surprise you next week!” Not funny, his mom said. “Oh please don't,” she told him. “We don't want a surprise,” his dad jumped in. “Let's don't do that.” Talk turned to Bookout's October when, and Mrs. Edwards jokingly asked her son if he was going to be the flower boy. “Weddings are so fun to go, as long as they're not your own,” Edwards said. According to Radar Online , Edwards tweeted (then deleted) that he was going to be a dad again. When the site reached out for a comment, Edwards only had this to say when asked if he's having a baby with ex-girlfriend, Shelby Woods. “Hell, no,” was his only response. In other “Ryan Edwards For Human Of The Year” news, the 27-year-old is currently being investigated by authorities for bragging about his violent answer to the overpopulation of cats that were living around his home. “People act like I’m shooting them with a rifle,” he told Radar of the public reaction. “It’s a damn BB gun that just scares them off! “They’re wild animals that destroy things. It’s not against the law to manage your property.   “People should know what they’re talking about before they talk.” Not so, according to Edwards' mid-August comments on social media. “I got a full size brown one tonight,” Edwards wrote. “I think I got all the little ones so just the devil black cat is left.” The Humane Educational Society worked with local police to check out Edwards' home after he posted Instagrams, and confirmed that they had enough evidence to determine that Edwards was “luring the animals onto his property to kill them.” Edwards told the authorities that he never killed any of the cats.  He was doing it merely to get attention.

Is Overpopulation a Green Myth?

Image via Greenpacks We hear it all the time, and have heard it since Malthus : That overpopulation is the primary cause of the world’s environmental ills. It makes sense in simple logical terms: The more people there are consuming natural resources, the greater a threat humanity poses to exhausting them. Hard to argue with that. But the issue is of course more complex — and there’s an interesting back-and-forth over at Grist on the subject to prove it. O… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Ordinance Passed Today in San Bernardino, California: All Pit Bulls Must Be Spayed or Neutered

Tuesday, June 22, 2010 SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (KABC) — An ordinance was passed Tuesday for all pit bulls in San Bernardino County to be spayed or neutered. City officials worked with the county's Animal Care and Control Division to create the ordinance. Authorities say the objective of the ordinance is to reduce the overpopulation of pit bulls in San Bernardino County, to encourage responsible pet ownership and to reduce the number of violent pit bull attacks. “In the past five years, four people in San Bernardino County have been killed by this breed, and just this year there have been seven attacks by pit bulls. No other breed has viciously attacked or killed anyone in that time,” said First District Supervisor Brad Mitzelfelt. The new rule requires all pit bulls and pit bull-type dogs older than 4 months to be spayed or neutered. Also, all such dogs used for breeding will be required to be licensed. State law prohibits any breed of dog from being deemed potentially dangerous or vicious, but the law allows local agencies to enact breed-specific programs for spaying and neutering to control over-population. Owners of pit bulls will be required to spay or neuter their dogs within 30 days of the new rule's implementation. Animal Care and Control will help pet owners comply with the ordinance by offering education and vouchers to those who are eligible. Pit bulls or pit bull-type dogs represent about 20 percent of all dogs that are admitted to animal shelters. They are also one of the top three breeds impounded at county shelters and the most frequent to be euthanized.
