Move over, Kanye West . There may soon be a new rapper in your quasi family. Stopped by a TMZ cameraman late last week, Tyga was asked about his Keeping Up with the Kardashians confidant and made it clear just what the future held for Scott Disick. “Scott’s coming out with a new rap album,” Tyga said, adding that he’ll be producing a few tracks on it. No other details were offered, and it’s unclear whether Tyga was being serious or not, but it’s rather apparent just what name Disick should go with if he does take this occupational step. Ladies and gentlemen, meet… Lil Douche! Scott Disick Wants to Be a Rapper
Grey’s Anatomy actress Ellen Pompeo wasn’t a fan of this year’s Emmy Awards. A big reason for that? The telecast’s lack of diversity, according to the star. “I didn’t see any diversity in the Emmys at all. The Emmys felt so dated to me,” she said, adding specifically that “The dance number was embarrassing.” Did you see one person of color in that dance number?” Grey’s Anatomy is one of the more diverse shows on TV, which Pompeo, who is also in a biracial marriage (to Chris Ivery ) says is one of her favorite things about it. The series famously casts its characters “blind” with no race in mind. “I’m extremely proud of our very, very diverse cast which represents the world that I walk around in every day,” she said of the long-running medical drama. Greys Anatomy Season 10 Premiere Clip Grey’s , in its heyday, earned a ton of nominations at the annual show, many of which for roles portrayed by its diverse cast. This year? Not so much. Regardless, her typically blunt assessment likely rings true to many. What do you think of her comments? Were the Emmy Awards lacking in the diversity department? And given the nature of the show, does it matter? Grey’s Anatomy returns Thursday night in any case.

Aside from the help in the back, there were only 3 (or 7) Blacks at this year’s very white Emmy Awards with Kerry Washington being the ONLY reason why Black America tuned in. Nominated for her provocative role as “Olivia Pope”–high-powered “fixer”/sophisticated side chick–on “Scandal,” Kerry would’ve been the first Black actress to ever win Best Actress in a Drama but lost to Claire Danes (“Homeland”) and, as always, Black Twitter exploded. Here are the funniest, wildest and craziest Twitter reactions to Kerry’s scandalous Emmy snub. Take a look. Continue reading →
It seems like only yesterday we fell in love with a serial killer named Dexter Morgan and now we’ve watched those sensuous opening credits roll for a final time. Ahhh. Dexter Morgan. The smirk. The pink shirts. The biceps. What a SKILF. I mean. Wait. What was I doing again? Oh, right. The Dexter finale. We’re recapping it here, but be sure to head over to TV Fanatic for the full Dexter series finale review . He Said, She Said: On the ride to the hospital, Deb tells Quinn she’s done some pretty bad things. He says that by being a cop, she gets to do good things to make up for whatever it is she did. She says she needs to save a busload of nuns. He thinks back to his schoolboy days and says “don’t save ’em.” Terminal: When Hannah gets stranded in the bathroom at the airport, Dexter plants a suspicious bag and blames it on Elway. Elway gets taken for questioning and Hannah can escape the loo, but Dexter’s plan grounds their flight. Big Brother: Dexter gets the call that Deb is in the hospital after being shot by Saxon. Once she’s out of surgery, she tells him to go to Argentina to be with Hannah and Harrison. He follows her F-bomb laden orders. Sort of. He sends Harrison off with Hannah and plans to meet up with them. He also gives Hannah a bag of “essentials.” Then he goes off in search of Saxon. Terminator : Saxon, like a terminator, walks around Miami with a bullet wound. In the middle of hurricane prep. And no one seems to notice that he’s bleeding all over everything. He gets a veterinarian to stitch him up then, in what might be the grossest thing on the show ever, cuts out the vet’s tongue so he can sneak into the hospital to finish what he started with Deb. But Miami Metro busts him. Surprise, motherf***er! Bad News Bears: Dexter and Quinn learn that Debra isn’t so okay after all. She’s in a vegetative state. Quinn believes in miracles. Dexter does not. A Little Jab’ll Do Ya: Dexter dons his Miami Metro badge and gets access to Saxon’s holding cell. He lays out the tools in his test kit and eventually kills Saxon with a ballpoint pen to the jugular. And people think penmanship is dead! Psha! Another Little Jab’ll Do Ya: Elway catches up to Hannah and Harrison on a bus headed toward Daytona. Hannah uses one of Dexter’s super special horse tranquilizers to knock Elway out so that she and Harrison can escape. The Perfect Storm: Dexter goes to the hospital and, in the chaos from the hurricane, turns off Debra’s life support. He tells Harrison he loves him just before he dumps Deb’s body in the ocean like the Bay Harbor Butcher he is. Then he drives the Slice of Life directly into the hurricane. Don’t Cry For Me, Argentina: Hannah reads the news of Dexter’s “death” on her iPad while sipping an espresso in a cafe with Harrison. She sheds a single tear before taking Harrison out for ice cream. Just Jack: While those he loved (loves?) go on living without him, Dexter lives a solitary life as a lumberjack. At least we know he’ll still have his biceps, right? What grade would you give the series finale of Dexter? A B C D F View Poll »

If you don’t know who actress Merritt Wever is, you will after seeing her Emmy Awards acceptance speech, which was easily the best in the show’s history. When Tina Fey and Amy Poehler announced that Wever won Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, many viewers were pretty surprised. But that surprise paled in comparison to this amazing acceptance speech: Merritt Wever Emmy Acceptance Speech Host Neil Patrick Harris, after she exited stage right, summed it up best: “Merritt Wever, best speech ever.

And encourage others to prepare speeches ahead of time.
