The Bachelorette Recap: Time To Kiss And Tell All

Posted on July 16, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Tonight the men spill the secrets of this season of The Bachelorette and single mom, Emily Maynard. They’ll talk douchebaggery and heartbreak. There might even be man tears. But will they spill the biggest secret of all? That is, will they spoil which man won Emily’s heart ? Well, no. Probably not. Oh well. The big teases. Chris Harrison, a.k.a. Mr. Hostman, (get it? Mr. Hostman? Mr. Postman? Bring me a dream …okay, I’ll stop.) reminds us that the finale will be Sunday and Arie and Jef will be absent from tonight’s tell-all. But we’ll get plenty of Kalon and Ryan. Joy. Before we meet the men, Chris and Emily dish on the season. They start out rehashing Ryan’s fantastic first date and following it up with every awful thing he said all season. I had such high hopes for him in the beginning. And then his ego got bigger than his heart. Minus 7. And then we get a recap of Kalon and Emily’s “West Virginia Hood Rat” send-off. He was absolutely horrifying. Minus 4 for not getting rid of him sooner. Oh, Doug. Poor Doug. And that awful, awful excuse for a kiss. What, is he 12? Minus 2 . Emily has quite the potty mouth, judging by the outtake from her date with Joe. And Travis kept Shelly the Egg in a bed. He even asked her to sing “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.” To the egg. And she didn’t send him home immediately? Minus 8 . Arie’s two younger brothers were peering through the bushes while they made out. Plus 12 . If you want to know why Chris finally went home, look no further than his lack of moves. Dance moves. Oh look! ABC’s plugging the upcoming Bachelor Pad with the one and only Kalon McMahon. And Chris. And was that Single Dad Tony I saw? Finally, Chris calls the guys and their spray tans to the stage! Seriously, the gym, tan, laundry that took place before this reunion show must have been epic. Minus 2 Sean’s the first one to call Emily a goddess. And it only takes about two seconds for John “Wolf” to rip on Kalon for his helicopter entrance. Chris Harrison says that any time you have 25 guys and one hot blonde together, you’ll get “drama, jealousy, and a little bit of crazy.” It’s clear they didn’t like Kalon from the get-go, thought Doug was the House Dad, and thought Ryan was cocky. Plus 12 . Chris says he was immature because he loved Emily so much. All of his man tears were from the heart. Minus 6. He’s still all offended by the talk that 25 year olds weren’t old enough for Emily. The older guys still think he was being ridiculous. Kalon’s convinced his helicopter entrance was completely cool. The guys all call him on it. He says he wasn’t himself after a few weeks and neither was anyone else. Charlie checks him and says he was upset that Kalon stuck around longer than he did because he was himself 100% of the time. Points to Charlie. Plus 8. Apparently, the guys should’ve just found Kalon confident and not narcissistic. Oh, and he’s really good friends with Chris and Tony now that they’ve all done Bachelor Pad together. How…nice? Kalon’s in the hot seat with Chris Harrison. (Does that sound like a late-night talk show or what?) In the recap reel of Kalon’s time on the show, it’s amazing how big of an a$$hole he was. Amazing. Kalon and Chris clarify that he didn’t know that single mom Emily was the bachelorette when they signed up and he felt like backing out after learning that would’ve said more about him than going forward with it. Chris point blank asks Kalon if Kalon thought he was rude to Emily in London. Kalon says “obviously it’s a very unique scenario and some people thrive and some people don’t.” Kalon, THAT IS NOT AN ANSWER. Minus 30. The guys just do not like him. That’s clear. Ryan’s the most spray-tanned of them all tonight and he’s in Chris’ hot seat next. Ryan says he’s confident in himself and that’s part of his success in life. Chris is shaking his head. He clearly disagrees. I disagree with how much bronzer Ryan’s wearing. Minus 12 . Chris asks Chris to clarify why he was shaking his head and Ryan just keeps interrupting him, mostly just to get under Chris’ skin. Chris Harrison asks “Is there a chance that you might just be an arrogant ass?” Ryan’s answer? “No.” Minus 15 . Ryan interrupts contestant Chris a couple more times and then Host Chris lets everyone know that Ryan will not be the next Bachelor. Thank Cheez-Its. Plus 10. Contestant Chris hits the floor. Host Chris reminds us all that this young whippersnapper was the first to say he was falling in love with Emily. He looks grumpy watching through his recap. I guess all those ladies on Bachelor Pad were just rebounds. Minus 3 . And the man tears are on the verge of flowing. Minus 13 . It seems that no one can understand why Sean didn’t make it to the final two. So he’s in the hot seat next. Poor guy. He still has feelings for Emily and never thought she’d send him home. He was ready to be a dad. I feel pretty awful for the dude. They would’ve made some pretty blonde-headed babies together. Oh look! Emily’s here! Tony has to hug her. She better go wipe off those Bachelor Pad cooties. This is the first time she’s seen any of the guys since they were cut. She did the ugly cry when she watched the episode where she had to let Sean go. Then she says “What girl wouldn’t want Sean?” Well, you wouldn’t Emily. Minus 13. Chris repeats everything Sean said, nearly verbatim. Apparently Emily’s really good at opening men’s eyes. Emily addresses the awkward kiss with Doug and then thanks him for reporting on Kalon’s shady behavior. Without him, she could’ve ended up engaged to Kalon! After Kalon spouts off something that was supposed to be an apology, she says he should become a politician. Because he’s really good at bulls******g. Plus 12 Emily! Kalon quips that he wouldn’t have her vote. And we all (did not) guffaw. Chris H. asks Emily about Ryan. They had fun together, but their values just didn’t line up. They seem amicable. Plus 4. The blooper reel reveals more of Emily’s potty mouth. And apparently she likes men who are tattooed and look slightly homeless. The tally so far: EPISODE TOTAL: -57 SEASON TOTAL: +114 Sunday night we’ll find out whether Emily will choose to spend the rest of her 15 minutes of fame life with Arie Luyendyk Jr. or Jef Holm. Which bachelor should Emily choose?

Magic Mike: Channing Tatum and Co. on Thongs, Dance Routines, and the ‘Dark’ World of Male Stripping

Posted on June 29, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

“We’re trying to do our part to objectify men for the first time in movies.” Steven Soderbergh ’s male stripper pic Magic Mike shimmies into theaters today powered by a charismatic turn by Channing Tatum and a hard-bodied supporting cast — but the tale isn’t all thongs, pelvic thrusts, and bachelorette party thrills. (Well, okay — it’s got a lot of those things , too.) What secrets did Soderbergh, Tatum, and co-stars Alex Pettyfer , Joe Manganiello, and Matt Bomer spill about on-set nudity, overzealous extras, cross-dressing, and Tatum’s real life experience as a male stripper? The director and cast, along with newcomer Cody Horn, shared these and more stories recently in Los Angeles. Read on for their best anecdotes, advice, and revelations… 1. Magic Mike is based on observations from Tatum’s eight-month stint as a male stripper. How did he get into it — and why did he ever stop? “Look, I was eighteen years old and I worked three jobs,” Tatum began. “This was just one of them, and I really enjoyed performing. It was probably my first performing job ever.” So what ended the 19-year-old Tatum’s stripping career? “I really like to dance, obviously, but then I didn’t really love taking the clothes off at the end…” 2. Tatum on the “very dark world” of male stripping… Magic Mike depicts a backstage world filled with camaraderie, g-strings, and baby oil, but as Pettfyer’s Adam discovers, it’s also one filled with drugs, casual sex, and recklessness. Tatum remembers the real world of male stripping as an even darker place. “The world in itself was just a very dark world in a way. I don’t think we even scratch the surface of really how dark that place can get and how slippery of a slope it can actually be. This was probably the most palatable version of this movie. Otherwise, you wouldn’t want to see it twice, you’d just be like, ‘Okay, I feel dirty now.’ I think we blade-ran that topic.” 3. Tatum denies allegations that he stole Magic Mike ’s story from two ex-stripper acquaintances. Also: Everyone, including his Magic Mike co-stars, has seen Tatum’s old stripping videos. “Look, there’s nothing that’s factual in this whole movie other than I was an eighteen year old kid and went into this world and I dropped out of college and playing football and was living on my sister’s couch,” Tatum explained. “There’s not one character that I took from my real life. This is just a world that I went into and that I had a perspective on and we created everything from a fictional place.” Tatum has mixed feelings about his would-be accusers. “Those guys have been trying to make money off of me since I’ve gotten into this business,” he said. “Literally, London was one of the guys that sold the video that essentially, thank God, my friend here [Soderbergh] saw and liked it and then we made a movie of it. They’re just very interesting people. I don’t want to say anything bad about them because they’re part of the reason why I think this world is so interesting. “They’re very interesting, intriguing, bizarre characters and I’m thankful for the weird people out there because they’re some of the most creative people. I mean, watch his YouTube video. It is really, really entertaining. I mean, that’s how he starts every one, and you’re just like, ‘Oh, we’re back, baby. We’re back!’” Manganiello : ‘The world famous Jungle Boooooy!’ 4. Picture this: Full-length. Dance. Routines. ( Yes please. ) Soderbergh and his cast filmed a dozen full-length stripping routines for the film, although only snippets of each — including Bomer as a living Ken doll, Mangianello painted head-to-toe as a golden god — made it into the film. Those full, unbroken dance scenes would make quite the popular DVD bonus feature, but Soderbergh isn’t sure the entire audience would appreciate all the “gory parts.” “I think it’s not for men, these things,” said Soderbergh. “It made me really uncomfortable to watch them. To watch them all back to back was really disturbing. So, I don’t know.” 5. About that one time Channing Tatum dressed in drag as Marilyn Monroe… Tatum not only strips down to a thong, he dons a halter dress and wig in Magic Mike and serenades Pettyfer in a scene also inspired by real life. “Yeah, I did that to a buddy of mine on his birthday. He was eating at a restaurant and I walked in as Marilyn and basically sang him happy birthday and embarrassed the hell out of him. So, we just decided to put it in this movie for fun.” 6. Though they got a bit overzealous at times, the female extras on-set became the guys’ biggest supporters. McConaughey famously had his thong ripped right off during the filming of his big strip scene (which stayed in the final cut), but having female extras who were really, really into their work helped the cast do their jobs. “I think those were all happy accidents when those happened,” recalled Bomer. “It was a part of the world, and if they wanted to lick you in certain places or touch you, or whatever, it was welcome. It was just a part of the world we were creating.” 7. How to rock a thong: Fellas, take note. “As far as trusting wardrobe, it is one of the larger leaps of faith to trust a thong,” said McConaughey. “It weighs like what a dollar bill weighs. It weighs nothing, and you’re going, ‘At the end of this performance, this is the only protection that I have.’ So, the first time you put it on you’re going, ‘What is every possible angle I can be in?’ I’ve got to check to see if it’s really covered, everything is covered.” Still, added Tatum — who was known to pull double duty as producer between scenes standing around in just his red thong — “sometimes they completely betray you.” 8. Magic Mike , art house movie? “I think we all signed on to this one coming from the independent spirit. This was filmed as this little indie movie expose and I think we all signed on to work with who we got to work with, on the script that we got to work on, in the world that we got to work in,” recalled Manganiello. “The big shock to me was when all the studio executives were coming to filming every day. I went, ‘Wait a minute, this little tiny art house movie… wait, everyone is going to see what I just did to that girl ?’ “I think the fact that it’s snowballed into what’s snowballed into is exactly what you hope for. I mean, that’s it. You work on this project to make the artists happy and you wind up, hopefully, making the bill payer happy, too.” 9. Why men should be just as eager as ladies to see Magic Mike : “Men tend to define themselves by what they do, and so if you’re dealing with a character who’s trying to figure that out, or multiple characters, then there’s something there for guys, too,” explained Soderbergh. “When we tested the film the female scores were not significantly bigger than the male scores. I mean, guys liked it. The trick is, I think, getting them to come, but we’ll see what happens.” And if that doesn’t convince the guys out there, Manganiello has a more practical reason for buying a ticket on opening weekend: “I think if you’re a smart, single guy you’re going to go see this on a Friday or Saturday night… because guess who’s going to be in the theater?” “If you’re really smart you’ll wear a fireman’s outfit,” added Tatum. “And you just might go home with a few numbers, or even better, someone.” So fellas, don’t be scared! And just remember one last bit of advice, from Manganiello. “Don’t forget your axe.” — So just think… only a few years ago, Tatum was stripping for cash (and, apparently, botching the “YMCA” dance). Now he’s turned that skeleton in the closet into a major Hollywood picture that has legitimized him as a serious actor more than any of his previous films. As they say, there’s no shame in that game. Magic Mike is in theaters today. Follow Jen Yamato on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .

The Bachelorette Recap: Goin’ West Virginia Hood Rat Backwoods on His Ass!

Posted on June 11, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Emily Maynard showed us a new side of herself on The Bachelorette tonight . We honestly didn’t know the girl had that scrappy street fighter in her, but we dig it. Unfortunately for one guy, this earned him a profane tongue-lashing and a ticket out the door. Fortunately for us, that douchebag will no longer take up screen time. Who was the recipient of Emily’s blowup, and what’d he do to provoke her? Who else got the boot at the end of the night after the fireworks ended? Follow this link for a rundown of The Bachelorette spoilers we know so far, including the (alleged) final three. Then read on for THG’s official +/- recap! Ricki and Emily in matching peacoats? Cutest thing ever. Plus 20 . Chris Harrison’s purple scarf? LOLZ not so much. Wow. Minus 11 . Sean Lowe gets the one-on-one date, and he’ll obviously knock it out of the park, ’cause that’s what guys like Sean Lowe do. At everything. Plus only 10 because he’s almost too perfect for words and shows up normal guys. Meanwhile, Alejandro is still on the show. Who knew! Plus 4 . Sean and Emily do their best impression of the Duke and Duchess. Will Emily soon be sporting her best Kate Middleton baby bump ? Probably … since that “bump” is like 97 percent not real. Minus 9 for THG confusing all of you. Kalon says every day is a “group date” with Emily and Ricki. Ohhh, good one man! What a douche. Just pack your bags now. Minus 15 . Sean sounds like a preacher in the park … saintly, even. Plus 8 . Emily and Sean’s date at the Tower of London? Quite romantic. Plus 6 . The whole “love takes no prisoners” card? Quite cheesy. Minus 6 . He should be thankful she didn’t go Fifty Shades of Grey on him down there in the dungeon. We know she wants more kids like whoa. Plus 2 . Emily’s raspy voice is kinda sexy … even if it’s just because she’s sick or lost her voice. Feel better, Em … but wow. Holy hotness. Plus 8 . Speaking of hotness, how about Sean’s charm, kindness and genuine humility? Is any girl watching this not swooning right now? Plus 12 . “The last thing I wanted to do this week is act.” – Doug. Really man? That was the last thing that entered your mind this week? Minus 3 . “Shakespeare is HUGE in Mississippi. That’s pretty much all we do is sit around and read his plays.” – Travis. Joke? Not a joke? Plus 5 . “I have limited understanding of what is going on in my scene.” – A surprisingly nervous, visibly uncomfortable Arie Luyendyk, Jr. Plus 15 . We can’t decide if Ryan’s overconfidence is hilarious or infuriating. Wash . Of all the guys, Arie and Doug are exceptionally good sports. Plus 15 . Arie: “Ryan is cracking me up, because he’s so excited he finally gets to kiss Emily. I’m like, ‘dude, it’s a play. You’re not actually kissing her.'” Plus 5 . “If Shakespeare were alive and saw Ryan, he would say ‘thouest suck.'” Plus 10 . Emily drinking beer with the guys? Plus 10 . Do the producers feed Ryan these lines? And/or tell him to talk in the Disco Stu-esque voice? He’s creepily hysterical. Plus 3 . Kalon actually refers to Ricki as “baggage.” Uhh, Minus 100 for saying that in the first place, and for the weaksauce excuse/retraction. Doug rolls up his sleeves like he’s going to throw down. Plus 12 . Props for Doug telling her. Given the nature of what was said, and the fact that it involved Ricki … it was warranted. Plus 28 . Emily: “I wanna go West Virginia, hood rat, backwoods on his ass.” Plus 150 . And she backs up the talk! Plus 50 for cutting him off and telling him to “get the f*%k out” and not even hearing his half-assed excuses. Why even go on the show if you know Emily’s the star? Why say those things to the other guys? Bottom line … loser got what he deserved. She doesn’t feel the guys had her back? Doug told her! And Emily DESTROYED Kalon by herself! We feel for her, but still, what do you want? Minus 9 . After waiting five weeks for a one-on-one date, Jef with one F is totally getting c*ck-blocked by Jeanne the British etiquette expert. Minus 20 . Plus 25 for them ditching out and going to a local pub. Emily lost her mojo over the whole Kalon thing. Jef might take things slowly but he’s saying all the right things, and Plus 40 for that. Dance parties all night with Ricki?? WePlus 9. With that kiss, Jef vaults into top-tier status with Sean and Arie. Plus 30 . Can anyone else compete with those three? Will be tough. Ryan? Maybe, but we just don’t see it. Minus 5 . Emily is getting the butterflies with Sean, but not in her stomach … they’re in her HEART!! OMG, so mind-numbingly cheesy. But cute. Plus 2 . Arie: “I think I may be going home tonight.” Really Arie? Ryan, Alejandro, “Wolf” and the Egg Dude are still on the show! Minus 7 . Saying goodbye tonight: Kalon (kicked the f*%k out) Alejandro (did not get rose) Still alive: Sean and Jef (earlier), Doug, Ryan, Chris, John “Wolf”, Travis, Arie. EPISODE TOTAL: +304. SEASON TOTAL: -1.

The Bachelorette Recap: Wind in Her Sails

Posted on June 4, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Things are getting serious on The Bachelorette, which ran it back with another contrived, unintentionally hilarious, and over-the-top dramatic episode tonight. Who prevailed when Emily treated eight men to a special day on the water at the Bermuda Yacht Club? Who came up empty while the winners celebrated? Who tried to impress Em by referring to her as a possible “trophy wife” (always smart), and who actually charmed her into getting a rose at the end of the day? Follow this link for a rundown of The Bachelorette spoilers we know now, including the (alleged) final three. Then read on for THG’s +/- Bachelorette recap! It’s bright and early and Chris calls the guys together to tell them there will be three dates this week: a one-on-one, a two-on-one, and a group date. And all of them will be happening in Bermuda. From there dates will happen at various places around the world. Plus 20. Emily has Ricki on this international trip. And she can’t wait to come back here with her husband. And possibly pregnant. AND pushing a stroller. Simmer down, Emily’s Ovaries. Minus 5. Arie found the first card. Doug got the one-on-one date. Alejandro’s jealous. I forgot Alejandro was even here. Chances are Emily did too. All the guys are cheering and jeering at Doug and Arie says he’s ready for the Bromance to end among all the guys. Doug’s nervous and Arie says it’s easy to push his buttons. So all of the guys push his buttons together to completely psych him out before his date with Emily. Plus 10. Emily says she feels like she and Doug have known each other for years. Their date consists at first of walking around the town, talking, checking into shops, and eating food from street vendors. It seems like the perfect day. Plus 5. Doug tells her that he recently started a charity to show his son that one person can change the world. Then he tells her about the awkward moment she walked into and she’s impressed that he felt comfortable enough to tell her. And then they write his son a note. And I got a cavity from all the sugar dripping off the screen. Plus 10. I’m not sure if “Bermudian” is a word, but Emily thinks it is. They walk through the Moon Gate and make a wish. Her wish? That she won’t be single forever. Like that wasn’t obvious. Minus 20. Emily and Doug meet up for dinner. Emily thinks Doug’s hiding something from her. His answers are always too perfect and positive. She wants to know what complaints his ex girlfriends would have and then tells him even his answers to those questions are perfect. He turns it around on her and her flaws are that she doesn’t get out of her pajamas sometimes and runs errands in them. That’s when she realizes that maybe she asked the wrong question. Minus 35 for the awkward dinner conversation. It’s no surprise that she gives him the rose. He wants to give her a kiss in return but remembers his Grandpa’s lesson: a girl who wants to be kissed will let you know. Doug’s biggest downfall? He doesn’t make the first move. Man up, Doug. Minus 20. Emily and eight of the bachelors meet up at the Royal Harbor Yacht Club to do a little sailing. Kalon says this is his element. Ryan says he knows nothing about sailing. They have to team up in groups of four and after learning about the boats, they’ll have to race for Emily’s affections. Four of them will get more time with her and four of them will go back to the hotel. Jef, Ryan, Arie, and Kalon are Team Yellow. Charlie, Chris, Sean, and Travis are Team Red. Team Red’s ahead. Team Yellow can’t seem to communicate with one another. Emily says she hates watching guys compete. Half way through the race, Team Yellow learns to communicate and pulls ahead of Team Red. But not for long. At the last turn, Team Red’s in the lead. Then Team Yellow cuts to the inside corner! Ahh! The suspense!! Team Yellow wins! Plus 25. Poor Team Red. Poor Charlie who starts crying on the van ride back to the resort. Minus 20 for the man tears. Emily’s on her date with Team Yellow and before the first drinks are finished, Ryan calls Emily a trophy wife. Minus 40 . Arie Luyendyk, Jr . steals her away for alone time on the beach. Under a blanket. So he can kiss her again. They’re time together is short lived since she’s on a date with all four of them. But that’s okay. He’s probably got more ladies waiting in the wings. Jef wants his alone time with Emily to matter. He really likes who she is, and he really likes hanging out with her. Then he asks her to kiss the booboo he got on the sailboat. And I’m grossed out because kissing booboos is something moms do for their kids. There’s a huge, gaping, giant, awkward space where a kiss was supposed to go, but maybe Jef’s a little camera shy. Minus 25. Next up for alone time is Ryan. He says he’s very deep as a person. He’s not here to impress her, but to make an impression upon her. I’m confused. She calls him on his ” I might not love on you ” line from last week and he dodges answering her questions. Minus 30 . Then he calls her on making out with Arie in front of all the guys last week and says that other girls are watching her and she needs to be a role model. Minus 20 . Like Emily said, Ryan knew what he was getting into when he signed up for this. Emily gives Jef the rose and Ryan calls it “safe.” Kalon McMahon is the only guy from Team Yellow who didn’t get any alone time with Emily after the sailing excursion. Probably because of his condescending ways. Plus 10. Emily doesn’t like the idea of the two-on-one date and neither do the guys, John and Nate. At the resort, the guys take a vote on who’s coming home. They vote for John because he’s older and Chris gets his panties in a twist because he’s only 25. Minus 10 . Emily, John, and Nate go cliff diving on their date. I’m hoping Emily doesn’t have a wardrobe malfunction in that teeny bikini. Their dinner is awkward, first because it’s in a cave, second because they’re sitting at the smallest table they could shoehorn into the cave. Nate says “Is that quinoa!?” And then they all decide not to eat. Probably because there’s no elbow room. Or because it was quinoa. Nate admits he was bummed to find out that he was on the two-on-one and says he understands it’s because he hasn’t really shown her anything of himself yet. So she asks him what he wants her to know. He jumps to family, the way to her ovaries. And then he starts choking up with Man Tears when he talks about his friends. Minus 10 John tells her he’d rather be on the two-on-one than on the group date. He also says he knows he hasn’t done much to show her who he is. She says she likes that about him. Plus 10. So now they’re back at the world’s smallest table ever and Emily gives the rose to John after telling Nate she doesn’t see them together forever. I blame the crying. All of the dates are over and there’s 40 minutes of show left until the Rose Ceremony. So Emily takes some time to do sight words with Ricki. Because, you know, she’s a mom. Alejandro basically begs to stay for another week. Minus 15 . Some of the guys (Arie) think Ryan could go home this week and while Ryan and Emily are spending some time together, Arie decides to cut in. He says his connection to Emily is real and intense and he feels like he needs to protect her. And maybe she needs protecting. Ryan says in an interview he sees potential in Emily but is called to something bigger. Basically, he wants to be the next Bachelor. Minus 95 for the douchiest move on this show yet. Emily consoles Sean on the big Team Red loss. Then he kisses her. Plus 25 . Doug and Ryan talk about how they’re “more mature” and know that you don’t build a relationship on the physical. Their maturity is why neither of them has made a move. Chris, still feeling the sting from the guys saying he’s too young to get it, tells Emily that he’s ready to be a father figure and husband. His age doesn’t hold him back. After leaving Emily, he decides to have a conversation with Doug. He wants to know why Doug thinks he’s the better man for Emily between the two of them. Doug tells him he’s being immature right now. Plus 20 to Doug for calling Chris out on his immaturity and maintaining his maturity while doing it. Finally, to save us from the Man Drama, Chris the Host shows up to take Emily away for the Rose Ceremony. Finally. Plus 10. Saying Goodbye: Nate (no rose) Charlie (no rose) Michael (no rose) EPISODE TOTAL: -200 . SEASON TOTAL: -305

Emily Maynard on The Bachelorette Premiere: Thank Goodness For New Faces!

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Emily Maynard is happy to be The Bachelorette, and even happier that the producers didn’t pull any major stunts with the casting. That we know of. Yet. The Bachelorette spoilers for this season are still trickling in, so who knows what surprises await the beautiful single mom from Charlotte, North Carolina. The season premiere last night was relatively drama-free and went off without a hitch, with the exception of a helicopter that had her fearing the worst. That being the return of Brad Womack … or Bentley Williams. Fortunately for Emily Maynard , the producers weren’t cruel enough to subject her to her ex-fiancee, or that jackass from Ashley’s season, as a stunt. Instead, she met 25 great guys, many of whom went all out to impress her. Who made the best first impressions with the former Bachelor winner? Some excerpts from Emily’s blog about the opener below: “First of all, I can’t even begin to say how grateful and blessed I feel to be The Bachelorette . It’s still hard for me to wrap my head around the idea.” “It was a big decision to come back. I was in love with Brad and what we had was very real and true, but when things didn’t work out with him, I was reminded that sometimes when people grow they grow apart.” “I can’t tell you how many times I said no, but I know God allows us to meet people at the right time and I just hope this is the right time for me.” “I put a lot of pressure on myself to make it work because I’ve been in this situation before and in a way feel as though I’ve already had my chance.” “It’s always scary meeting new people for the first time, especially like this! I wasn’t sure if I would like any of the guys or if any of the guys would like me, but so many of my fears were calmed after just the first limo.” “I definitely felt a connection with a few of the guys and it made me confident that my decision to come back was worth it. So many of the guys stood out to me. Even though he was the last to show up, I think I have to start by acknowledging Kalon.” “What an entrance! A million thoughts were going through my mind. I was extremely nervous it was Brad or possibly Bentley! I was relieved to see a fresh face.” “As extravagant as the helicopter was, Jef showing up on the skateboard was way more impressive in my mind! I immediately loved that he wasn’t trying to impress me with some over the top entrance.” “Anyone who knows me knows I have an extreme love for shoes, so Tony hit it out of the park with his glass slipper entrance.” “He did a great job making a memorable impression because as he walked away he made me realize how much I want the fairytale ending and how this time I really hope the glass slipper fits and I find my Prince Charming! “Last but not least, Doug. What a sweetheart! The letter his son wrote to me was one of the sweetest things I have ever received and if anyone can appreciate how hard it is being away from their child, it’s me.” “I’m so grateful that Doug took a chance on love, and I was honored that he saw something in me. It meant a lot and I wanted him to know that I would take a chance on him too and that’s why I gave him the first impression rose.”

Boy Band Allegiances: Why They Matter

Posted on April 26, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

In honor of MTV’s Battle of the Boy Bands, Above the Buzz breaks down boy-band mania and why picking a favorite really matters. By Jocelyn Vena The Wanted Photo: Island Def Jam There’s a full-on war happening out in the pop trenches. That war is being fought on the battlefield of the hearts of teen girls everywhere. The soldiers? Well, they are the new bevy of boy bands that are dominating the charts, the airwaves and the conversation. Some people ( mostly some older men that I know ) are confused by it. They may not understand why anyone should care about boy bands. Well, here’s why we do care: I think the rest of us are kind of into that joyful feeling of youthful exuberance that comes with boy bands. That feeling those five guys give you when they sing to you about love and how pretty you are. Heck, we’ve all been there. We’ve all had our Nick Carters or Justin Timberlakes. These days, some girls are proudly waving their freak flags and declaring their devotion to always-cheeky British boy band the Wanted . Meanwhile, other girls prefer the floppy-haired, puppy love vibe of One Direction . Either way, these guys are using well-produced pop tunes about the nuances of romance to win you (or your little sister or teen cousin or some other young woman you know) over. And those girls feel they must decide — they have to pick a band. Girls, I understand that strife. Listen, I’ve been there. I spent my formidable early teen years at the height of the greatest boy-band battle of all time: the Backstreet Boys vs. ‘NSYNC . Yep, I survived it. Like Katniss in “The Hunger Games.” They were like the Peeta and Gale of the pop world. Who would I choose? Well, I chose. And I’ve never doubted my choice. So, to aid you with this modern-day boy-band dilemma, here’s some handy advice to help you navigate the murky waters of a boy-band-pocalypse. Back then, I happily declared “BSB for life!” Sure, I enjoyed ‘NSYNC a lot. I had all their albums, saw them in concert, may have wondered what it would be like to date one of them. I was hardly a boy-band rookie at that point. As a kid, I had already been pretty obsessed with the New Kids on the Block. “Please Don’t Go Girl?” Psh, try, “Please don’t go guys … ever.” My love for boy bands has been and will always be a lifelong commitment. The fever I had for the Backstreet Boys was beyond. It was “wake up early to wait in line for concert tickets” obsessed. It was “get my VCR ready to tape their appearance on ‘TRL’ ” crazed. It was “break out my boom box and make mixtapes of their radio appearances and play them back … over and over” fevered. I had posters and T-shirts and concert stubs and more posters and T-shirts and albums and concert specials and everything BSB. I loved the guys so much that I may have even attempted to pen songs that I thought the guys might want to sing. (And no, you can’t ever read them or hear them. I’m no Max Martin.) So, as you can see, I get it. I get how you can love a band that much. But you might be wondering, how did I pick a side? Well, that’s not easy to put into words. I just did it — I just picked with my heart. I think when it comes to identifying with a boy band, it’s just something you feel in your gut. It’s their music, their brand of boy-band bravado, their flavor. Their sheer existence and the way it speaks to you. Why did I pick the Backstreet Boys? I don’t know. I just loved them. Those songs, those melodies. Man, it didn’t get better than that. They just spoke to me on some subatomic level. I mean, who could not pick a band who tells you “I’ll never break your heart/ I’ll never make you cry”? Now, as I watch a new generation of girls caught up in boy-band mania, I get it. These are the boys you crush on. These are the boys you pin your girlhood dreams on. So, get caught up in the fever, girls. It only happens once. Blast the tunes, go to the shows, buy the merchandise. I promise you, one day when you’re all grown-up, you’ll look back on this time fondly. Why? Well, to put it simply, nothing is better than your first boy band. Nothing. Voting in round two of MTV’s Battle of the Boy Bands runs until noon ET on Monday, April 30. Winners are determined by fan votes, so if your favorite band made the cut, make sure you keep voting. Tune in to AMTV and MTV Hits for their boy-band video takeovers each day and make sure to spread the word on Twitter using the hashtag #BBB and like us on Facebook for updates!

Boyz II Men: The ‘Battle Of The Boy Bands’ Forefathers

Posted on April 23, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Boyz up against longtime rivals Jodeci in round one; voting open now! By John Mitchell, with reporting by Jocelyn Vena Boyz II Men Photo: Jeff Fusco/ Getty Images Our Battle of the Boy Bands got off to a roaring start Monday as fans of new groups like the Wanted and One Direction and legacy acts like ‘NSYNC and New Kids on the Block hit our bracket hard to push their favorites on to the next round. One group that is in it to win it is Boyz II Men , who told MTV News they were among the “progenitors” of the entire boy-band genre. “We were kind of like the progenitors, the torch holders of a lot of the artists, of a lot of the boy bands that came about,” Nathan Morris told us. Highest Chart Achievement In the mid-’90s, Boyz II Men ruled the charts. That’s not hyperbole, either — three of the top-10 longest-running #1 singles in the history of the Billboard chart belong to the band. Their top song, though, is actually a duet, and with 16 weeks spent atop the chart, it’s also the biggest single ever: “One Sweet Day” with Mariah Carey. Boyz II Men are one of just four artists or groups to have held the #1 spot for at least 50 weeks cumulatively. On the all-time list, they fall at #4, behind only (ahem!) Elvis Presley, the Beatles and Carey. (With 47 weeks, Usher falls just short at #5.) Clearly, the band has quite a few chart achievements under its belt. Standout Video The Boyz made a series of great videos for their hits “End of the Road,” “I’ll Make Love to You” and “Water Runs Dry,” but for its cameos alone, “On Bended Knee” rises above. In the clip, each band member breaks up with and eventually reconciles with a girlfriend, played by four famous actresses: Victoria Rowell, Ren

And that means we are kicking off our full day of Big Apple festivities with the five guys as they celebrate the release of their debut U.S. EP , as well as the premiere of their new video for “Chasing the Sun.” The guys have allowed an MTV News crew to tag along with them for exclusive access into their lives as they continue to win the hearts of girls across America. In the lead-up to their day with MTV News, the guys had this message for their fans, “Please stay tuned to MTV all day today where we will be teasing you with the premiere of our new video, ‘Chasing the Sun,’ which will premiere live on MTV. And we’ll be answering your questions during MTV First at 7:53 p.m. on MTV. Do you feel teased?” First up, the guys will head to “Today” to chat up Matt Lauer and the crew about the release, which includes several new tracks such as “Chasing,” as well as their hit, “Glad You Came.” We were on hand with the fellas as they made their way to the famed morning news chat show, knocking yet another notch off their list of milestones and accomplishments. From there, the five Brits will go all across Manhattan for various media appearances to help spread the gospel of the Wanted.
