Manzo’d With Children Season 1 Episode 4 Recap: Albie vs. Lauren!

This week on Manzo’d With Children Season 1 Episode 4 , Albie and Lauren had a falling out, with Caroline giving them 24 hours to make peace. Lauren and Albie have always been close, but they’re at odds here, with her saying he always plays the victim, calling him “dramatic” and “pathetic.” “I don’t think Brittany’s the right girl for him,” she says of his new girl, which sort of triggered this rift the previous week in the Garden State family. Albie told Lauren, apparently, that she’s a toxic person he doesn’t want her in his life anymore, and that he’s going to date whomever is right for him. His mom tells him to go apologize to Lauren, regardless. Lauren thinks no one sees her side and how this is affecting her, and that the family is always taking Albie’s side. Mom wants to throw them both out. If you watch Manzo’d With Children online and saw the Brittany situation unfold, you know she might not be the best fit with this close-knit group. Still, Albie feels trapped by others’ expectations, and it appears Manzo’d With Children Season 1 Episode 4 is the culmination of a lifetime of this. His family has been hard on Brittany, he says, by judging her solely on her appearance, though he admits having the same concerns about Brittany. Christopher, meanwhile, helps Caroline with her sauce as she muses about how he makes her happier and she just needs his presence to keep her sane. Later, Caroline talks to Al about the incident between Caroline and Albie, and Al is a little bit more sympathetic toward his son’s plight than she. “My point to you is this: it ends here,” Caroline says, while Al adds they did a great raising the kids, and that they have what it takes to rise above this. Finally, they make up, as Lauren says she’s just being honest and wants to be able to say whatever she wants to her family members with no consequences. He says he doesn’t want anyone controlling his life, and that he doesn’t really want Lauren out of the picture, but just wants to be able to live comfortably. See? Was that so hard?

The Good Wife Season 6 Episode 5 Recap: HACKED!

Note to every Internet user in history: When a random email asks you to click on a click… do not click on this link. Watch The Good Wife Season 6 Episode 5 Online Diane and the firm learned this the hard way on  The Good Wife Season 6 Episode 5 , an hour that attempted to juggle many balls in the air and ended up dropping most of them on the ground. We’ll start with this ransom-ware storyline, the show’s latest attempt to stay one step ahead on all things technology. (The Good Wife has also dealt with numerous piracy issues, Bitcoin, and the search engine universe, to name other examples with this field.) It just fell a bit flat. It seemed a bit hard to believe. Yes, it led to Kalinda meeting up with her gay federal agent friend and sleeping with her, mostly to secure information. But now tension between her and Cary is being teased (because Kalinda and Cary are totally getting it on themselves) and we can’t say there’s much interest here. Kalinda going back and forth between genders, and also using her sexuality to gather intel, has been done many times before. There’s a lot to like about The Good Wife, but the series has somehow never managed to make Kalinda’s private life one of those things. It’s hard to imagine Cary really expecting Kalinda to be loyal to him, and also hard for him to suspect anything is going on just by seeing her in the elevator with a woman. We adore Archie Panjabi in this role, but she’s making the right move by leaving. There’s nothing left to do with the character. The episode, meanwhile, tried to doing TOO MUCH with Elsbeth Tascioni. It’s one thing to make this Carrie Preston-portrayed attorney quirky… but they made her totally insane here! She was seeing penguins and clowns and it was interfering with her work in the courtroom and the whole thing came across as The Good Wife just trying too hard to be different. Elsbeth is best in doses. Finally, the best part of the episode was the Alicia-Peter confrontation in the hallway. He didn’t want to be on the same stage as Finn endorsing her for State’s Attorney because it would make Peter look small. The couple argued over just who needed who more, with Alicia bringing up those hookers in the past and Peter screaming at her to “LET IT GO.” It was an interesting look at a power couple who is only together for, well, the power and, to be honest, it’s not hard imagining Bill and Hillary Clinton having had similar disagreements. Overall, not the best installment of The Good Wife Season 6 . But they can’t all be winners. The Good Wife Season 6 Episode 7 is titled “TBD” and it airs on Sunday, October 26. Go ahead and watch The Good Wife online via TV Fanatic to catch up on anything you may have missed.

Can’t Twerk It Out? Miley Cyrus’ VMA Stunt Made Robin Thicke’s Swirly Matrimony-dom Problems Even Worse!!!

Miley’s flat latex covered cakes turned out to be a bigger problem than we were previously led to believe . According to US Weekly reports : Robin Thicke and wife Paula Patton announced on Monday, Feb. 24 that they were calling it quits on their eight-year marriage. Though multiple sources told Us Weekly the split was a long time coming, a source close to the “Blurred Lines” singer tells Us that their marriage got even rockier after Thicke’s raunchy, headline-grabbing performance with Miley Cyrus at the 2013 VMAs. “The Miley Cyrus fiasco was a big test of their relationship,” the insider reveals of the lascivious “We Can’t Stop” and “Blurred Lines” mashup. “He asked her to help him out as a friend and a wife, and defend him and the performance. He begged her to speak out for him and be there for him.” “She agreed to be the good wife after he begged and pleaded,” the source explains. “Then he asked her to stick with him through awards season, and she agreed. She attended the Grammys with him as a favor.” Indeed, the Baggage Claim actress, 38, also appeared on the Today show on Sept. 18, and defended her husband’s controversial VMAs performance. “They rehearsed for three days. Robin told me in advance,” Patton said of Cyrus, 21, twerking with Thicke, 36. “I thought it was great.” When asked to share the secret to their happy marriage, Patton replied: “At the end of the day it’s love. We’re still madly in love.” “I’m not that uptight. I’m not a traditionalist,” she added. “We’re both artists and I want him to express himself however he feels, and he let’s me do the same.” Though Thicke and Patton put on a united front throughout awards season, the damage to their relationship was apparently already done. The couple, parents to son Julian, 3, released a joint statement announcing their separation on Monday. “We will always love each other and be best friends,” they told Us. “However, we have mutually decided to separate at this time.” “Their marriage was unraveling a long time,” the insider tells Us. “It is not a shock to Robin or Paula, and it is something they have discussed for a long time.” We don’t see anything blurry about this situation. Paula’s been poppin’ mollies and acting like a loopy Lucy at every awards show for the last two years and Robin’s had his hand or lips all over other broads every time we turn around. It definitely sounds like they need a break — even if it’s not a permanent one.

Paula Deen RIPS Lisa Jackson Over Bogus Racism Allegations, Lawsuit

Paula Deen has filed a blistering response to the lawsuit that is torpedoing her career, claiming Lisa Jackson embellished or made up her racism allegations. Yes, Paula admitted using racial slurs in the deposition she gave, but remember that she has NOT admitted anything Jackson has accused her of. Deen said, under oath, that she has used racial epithets in the past, in conversations with friends and family – never in a discriminatory situation. She is fuming that Jackson, who was fired as manager of Uncle Bubba’s Seafood and Oyster House, is actually asking for damages based on racism. Citing discrimination and harassment, Lisa Jackson claims she is “African-American adjacent” – her partner has a biracial niece, she claims in the lawsuit. According to Deen, Jackson’s niece is NOT African-American , but Hispanic. Also, Paula is furious that Jackson alleges she used the n-word in connection with her brother Bubba’s wedding, yet has never offered any proof of this. Thus, Deen feels she was deposed in a lawsuit and forced to admit having used shameful – but quite possibly irrelevant – terms based on bogus claims. As we know, in the wake of the scandal, she’s been fired by Food Network … and Walmart, Caesars, Smithfield Foods, Target, and (sort of) QVC. The celebrity chef wants the case thrown out, and for a judge to throw the book at Jackson, fining her with sanctions for creating a BS harassment case. Stay tuned …

Game of Thrones Season 4: The Red Viper Cast!

We may not be heading back to the Seven Kingdoms any time soon, but HBO has cast the first major role on Game of Thrones Season 4 . Pedro Pascal – who has appeared on episode of Red Widow, Graceland and The Good Wife – will come on board next year as The Red Viper, the cunning Prince of Dorne who has a score to settle in the Westeros capital: His sister was among those murdered when Mad King Aerys was overthrown by Robert Baratheon and the Lannisters. David Benioff and Dan Weiss told Entertainment Weekly that casting the role was “tough” because the prince is sexy and charming… but also dangerous and inspired by hate. In a fun tease for future episodes, the creators added of The Red Viper: “He wasn’t easy to find and he won’t be easy to stop.”

Lil Wayne Stomps on American Flag For "God Bless Amerika" Music Video Shoot

Lil Wayne stomped on an American flag over the weekend. He’s filming a music video for “God Bless Amerika” in his hometown of New Orleans, and it all started off harmlessly enough, with Weezy rapping in front of the flag. Old Glory is then released to the ground – already a big no-no, as we learned on Flag Day – at which point Wayne continues to rap, while stomping on it. Check out the footage from Wayne’s video shoot below: Lil Wayne American Flag Stomping The lyrics, believe it or not, are just as controversial, which isn’t shocking from a man who infamously rapped about beating up a p—y like Emmett Till . “My country ’tis of thee / Sweet land of kill ’em all and let ’em die / God bless Amerika / This ole’ godless Amerika,” raps the lightning rod that is Tunechi. It’s his constitutional right to do this, of course … but that doesn’t mean people will line up to defend him. We’re anticipating quite the opposite in fact. What’s your take on the situation?
