What did we ever do to deserve the sexy, sexy magic that is the Fifty Shades of Grey series? The books, the movies, all of it is just so good. Maybe you think it's good because you genuinely like it, maybe you think it's good because it makes you feel funny in your pants, or maybe you just appreciate it for what it is: a dumb, trashy, fun bit of entertainment . Either way, does it really matter? Fifty Shades of Grey has a little something for everybody, and if you don't believe it, then just check out the new trailer for Fifty Shades Freed, the final film in the franchise. Then you'll see. This is actually the first official trailer for the movie — we've seen a few teasers , but this is the first real look we're getting. And it's amazing . The trailer starts by reminding us that Anastasia and Christian are married now — we know that because he tells her “Good morning, wife,” and then she answers with “Good morning, husband.” They go on a fancy honeymoon, he spends a ridiculous amount of money and licks her leg. You know, just married people things. When they get back home, it turns out that they have a different home, because he went and bought a house without discussing it with her. It's not because he's possessive and controlling, it's because he's romantic. Right? Later on, Ana is driving around town with Christian when he notices they're being followed, so she does some slick maneuvers to get away from the other car, which is something she would totally know how to do. And then … oh, and then Ana's deranged old boss, Jack Hyde, calls her up, looking more psychotic than ever. What does he want? The trailer doesn't make it clear, but later we see him holding a knife to her throat, so it's nothing good. What else? Ana gets jealous because Christian hangs out with that older woman who turned him onto all this BDSM business, someone gets punched in a club, for some reason. And don't forget all the sex! Check out the whole wild show in the video below:

Derick Dillard has a lot on his plate these days. He’s a father of two, a reality star, an aspiring preacher, and now, it appears he’s fashioning himself into some sort of social media firebrand. Yes, apparently encouraged by the response to his attack on Jazz Jennings , Derick has begun rebranding himself as a professional social media jackass. Derick is forever trying to raise money for the esteemed Derick Dillard Doesn’t Want to Work a Full-Time Job fund, so it’s not hard to see why he would relish the attention. The more eyes on his posts, the more potential donors to his “cause.” But telling your followers that there’s no racism in America and condemning vanity and greed while simultaneously starring in a reality show and begging for money are actions bound to attract negative attention. And it’s not just the usual Duggar critics who are coming down hard on Derick. In fact, there are rumors that no one is more upset with Derick’s latest actions than the Duggars themselves. Derick married Jill Duggar back in 2014, and for the most part, he’s been the sort of compliant (read: spineless) son-in-law that Jim Bob prefers. But the rumblings out of Tontitown these days indicate that Derick’s efforts to make a name for himself are not sitting well with his in-laws. According to the Duggar-centric Facebook page Life Is Not All Pickles and Hairspray, relations between Derick and the Duggars (great band name, btw) have deteriorated to the point that Jill and her husband were seated separately from the rest of the family at Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell’s wedding in September. The seating arrangement is being widely interpreted as a massive snub, but there’s some disagreement as to why Derick might be on the outs with his in-laws. Most believe it’s the result of his recent political ravings, but there’s another theory, as well. Many Duggar fans are now wondering if there’s some legitimacy to the recent rumors that Derick was caught cheating on Jill . Derick’s been working closely with college students as part of his outreach efforts for his church in recent months. Reports of an inappropriate relationship with a female student were recently bolstered by a series of tweets Derick posted about the importance of marital fidelity. Given the Duggars’ knack for keeping skeletons in the closet, we may never know for sure just what Derick did to anger his in-laws. But it’s clear he’s not exactly Jim Bob’s favorite son-in-law these days. Watch Counting On online for more from reality TV’s most controversial family.

With so many members of the Brown family gathered in Colorado to film Alaskan Bush People … or so fans hope … it’s easy to remember that some of the Browns are conspicuously absent. Bam Bam Brown hasn’t exactly been in the public eye all that much. But now he’s giving updates on himself, his girlfriend, and their boat-related adventures. Of the “missing” Browns, Noah is usually the easiest to spot. Though fans have been pissed at Noah Brown for “abandoning” his family , he’s actually remained pretty visible. Fans bump into him and his fiancee, Rhain , in various parts of the US. We know that Noah’s goal is to eventually move to Alaska and become sheriff of a small town. (No idea why that’s his desire, but live your dreams, my guy) We’ve known for a while now that Bam Bam Brown is living on a boat with his girlfriend, Alli. During Season 6 of Alaskan Bush People , Bam Bam Brown parted ways with his family and the show to live his own life. He went with Alli (Allison Kagan), who was a producer on Alaskan Bush People . The two of them are dating. Reports said that it was a luxury yacht, which is … true and yet not true, as we’ve learned. Bam Bam is clearing the air and giving fans a thorough update on his life. The boat thing is true! But a little more complicated. See the boat was built in 1986, and needed a lot of work. And Bam Bam and Alli have been doing a lot of that themselves, as you can see in the above photo. On November 1st, Bam Bam tweeted: “Celebrating 1 year with our little girl. All she needed was a little TLC and a new name. # boatanniversary # alsostarteddatingayearagotoday” By “our little girl,” they definitely mean their boat. Don’t panic that there’s been a secret Brown grandchild that we never knew about until she had already turned one. (Though that would be quite something) On a Twitter account dedicated to their boat, now named Fathom This, Bam Bam and Alli (who run the account together) shared a series of tweets detailing changes that they had made. They disposed of old, ’80s tiling and gave other much-needed updates to the boat. Rather than calling it a yacht, they choose to characterize it as a ferry. In an update, Bam Bam described how they decided that they wanted to do this: “The boat idea came to us when we were on the Staten Island ferry … and how cool it would be to have a space that large and also be on the water.” Wow. It’s rare to hear anything positive related to Staten Island. We don’t mean that in a mean way, just … it’s literally rare to hear that kind of positivity. “Alli searched and found the old ferry just before she was going to be sold for scrap!” A real fixer-upper, then. “We have been gutting and renovating her ever since. … Alli has great artistic vision and huge plans for the renovation.” Admittedly, if it’s been a year and you’re still talking about “plans” and “vision,” things aren’t coming along super quickly. But hey, what’s the rush? Also, other members of the Brown family will be pitching in, as Bam Bam writes: “My dad is excited to help us with the plumbing, and the rest of the family can’t wait to come aboard.” And it looks like he’ll keep us all updated: “We are excited for you to follow her progress … and unveil her when she is finally finished!” Bam Bam and Alli did add, almost as an afterthought: “Also, we are not moving to the Bahamas…although that would be nice.” We have a sad suspicion that Ami Brown’s stage 4 lung cancer has, well, made it harder for any of the Brown family to make decisions as they otherwise might have. Maybe Bam Bam and Alli were planning on living in the Bahamas at one point, or maybe they weren’t. But it’s hard to imagine them being comfortable settling down while Ami is fighting for her life. Whatever Bam Bam and Alli have planned, though, we’re excited to see more of it. And if the family’s planning to come aboard, we wonder if — even though it doesn’t fit the show’s brand — we might see Bam Bam’s boat on Alaskan Bush People .

DCFS And Police Investigate The Octomom’s House For Poor Living Conditions This Octo-beyotch is the f***ing WORST!!! According to TMZ reports : The La Habra Police Department and the Orange County Dept. of Family and Children’s Services showed up at the home of Octomom Nadya Suleman Tuesday night, after receiving a complaint from her hairstylist that the mother of 14 allows her kids to live in horrendous conditions. Octomom’s hairstylist went to the PD today and she tells us … she told cops she has been in the house and seen the following: – the plumbing is a disaster … there is only one working toilet in the house – some of the kids are pooping on portable training toilets located in their bedrooms and in the backyard – the kids appear malnourished and unbathed – she observed Octomom locking her kids in a bedroom while she tended to personal matters – the house is filthy The stylist made other allegations as well. When the cop and 3 Children’s Services workers arrived and walked inside, you can hear Octo say, “Excuse the graffiti.” The authorities stayed an hour-and-a-half and left. We’re told they determined the kids were not in danger so they weren’t removed from the home, but there will be a follow-up with Children’s Services. Hit the flip to watch the video of Stephanie, the hair stylist, going to police station to explain why she’s reporting Nadya. Also a video of cops and DCFS rolling up on Nadya’s crib to investigate, plus pics inside of the house! Images via TMZ
‘[Elizabeth] Olsen rivets our attention, and the camera’s, so fiercely it verges on unbearable,’ Kat Murphy of MSN.com writes. By Kara Warner Elizabeth Olsen in “Silent House” Photo: Open Road Films Although based on a 2010 Uruguayan Spanish-language horror film, “Silent House” is supposedly inspired by actual events, which only adds to its creep factor. It’s not a movie for the faint of heart. Elizabeth Olsen stars as a young women who finds herself trapped in a remote cottage where she is haunted and hunted by unknown horrors. While critics seem divided over whether it is mostly good or bad — the film is currently hovering around the 50 percent Fresh mark over at Rotten Tomatoes — almost all of them had high praise for the technical construction of the film, which was uniquely done by filming the entire movie in one long, continuous shot . Read on through the “Silent House” reviews … if you dare. The Plot ” ‘Silent House’ introduces us to our soon to be harried heroine, a 20-something who’s returned with her father to their old family vacation home (in the woods and by a lake, natch) to pack it up, board it up, and say farewell to it before it goes on the market. But it’s going to take a lot of work — squatters have defaced it; rust has wrecked the plumbing; and mildew’s worked its way into the electrical system. The house is much like Sarah … she’s barely hiding lots of peeling paint, weak foundations, and broken windows to the soul. But why? We will find out, but first it is time to get scared! Dad and Sarah are soon joined by Uncle Peter who’s come to help with the tidying, a neighbor Sarah really doesn’t remember from childhood summers pops by, and a creepy little girl lurks just out of sight in convenient shadows. The players are in place, and the suspense begins. It’s just little things at first; a noise here, a falling piece of plastic sheeting there. And then Sarah’s dad is attacked, his eye bloodily gouged from his skull. Sarah tries to run — and she does escape the dwelling of doom, but she’s lured back inside by clever, insidious means. To reveal much more would be spoilery, but I will say that Silent House is the kind of movie you must suspend all disbelief for (OK, maybe some of the embarrassingly foreshadowing dialogue is diss-worthy) in order to enjoy. Just watch the girl, follow her, and get caught up in her terror. It works on a visceral level, similar to the French film of a few years back, ‘Ils.’ ” — Staci Layne, Horror.com The Technical Achievement “Like Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘Rope’ or the original movie, the conceit of the film is that it’s entirely shot in one take with only a couple obvious times where they could have easily cheated. If you weren’t informed in advance that the movie was done in one take, you may not even realize it as the camera person/DP follows the characters up and downstairs, in and out of the house in an incredibly fluid way, barely missing a beat as we go from mundane packing activities to intense horrors. [Directors] Kentis and Lau have done a terrific job creating an atmosphere of tension, keeping the viewer on the edge never knowing what to expect or in fact, what exactly is going on. This helps to make some of the more obvious jump scares work better than they might normally, something that can also be attributed to Nathan Larson’s subtle but effective score. Even so, the filmmakers sadly go for many often-used clich
