Arrow Season 4 Episode 9 Recap: A Dahrk Christmas

Here is how you know that  Arrow Season 4 Episode 9 was a seriously eventful winter finale of this CW smash hit: Because Oliver and Felicity got engaged… and yet that was scarcely even a significant part of the hour. Watch Arrow Season 4 Episode 9 Online Yes, you may go ahead and celebrate, Olicity fans. But that celebration may be very short-lived. Because Felicity may be dead, Viewers will be left wondering whether or not she’s the corpse in the much-ballyhooed grave after Oliver outed Damien Darhk’s identity after the villain used a drone to kill innocent civilians during a “clean up the bay” event. He responded by taking Felicity, Thea and Diggle captive and then by giving Oliver a demonstration of “Genesis” when Oliver attempts to save his teammates.  This evil plot involved using algae from the aforementioned clean-up for his gas chamber and referencing the Nazis when talking about how humanity occasionally needs a reset Ummmm… GULP?!? View Slideshow: Empire Cast: Did You Know…? To show Oliver he means business, Dahrk drags Felicity, Diggle and Thea into a gas chamber and starts to fill it, making it appear as if Team Arrow is about to lose some rather integral members. But then Laurel’s Canary shriek breaks the glass and the building gets blown up. Damien, however, being the cockroach that he is, manages to survive. Moreover, Phase 4 of his plan is all set to begin now that the air in what appears to be an underground bunker is breathable. However, Dahrk’s superiors (NOTE: Dahrk has superiors?!?) are worried that Oliver will still get in the way of Genesis coming to fruition. So Damien takes aim at the newly-engaged couple as they share a happy moment in a limo. Oliver manages to maneuver the vehicle away from the ghosts… but it’s too late. We conclude the episode with a bullet-ridden Felicity lies bleeding in his arms.

Rob Kardashian Shows Support for Kylie Jenner

Rob Kardashian is back on social media. And also back to being pretty gosh darn weird about it. A few days after  Kylie Jenner released an actual lip kit (on sale now! For just $29!), her reclusive half-sibling shared an adorable picture on Instagream. It features his bulldog sitting at a computer, staring at Kyle’s lip kit online and apparently distraught over the fact that he cannot purchase it. “I guess someone is disappointed they didn’t get Kylie’s lipkit!!!! Don’t worry buddy more coming soon!” Rob wrote as a funny caption. Rob Kardashian, of course, has been estranged from his family for over a year and a half now. Such as he’s done here, Rob has reached out a few times on Twitter and on Instagram… but he was not included in the family Thanksgiving photo and he has not made any appearances on Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 11. It’s clear that Rob is sick of the spotlight, while he’s also admitted himself on multiple occasions that he’s ashamed of his overweight body. We’re guessing it doesn’t help that his famous sisters are always talking about the desire to slim down their own bodies. This is a family that is seemingly accepting of everything… except excess weight. However, Kardashian may be featured in the family Christmas photo this year. For a price , that is.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 8 Episode 5 Recap: No Love on This Love Boat

Sunday on The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 8 Episode 5 , Cynthia and Porsha’s argument turned nuclear on the ladies’ cruise. While that beef heated up and there was clearly no love lost on this love boat, Kandi hoped to receive some big news from her doctor … If you watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta online , you know the Cynthia Bailey and Porsha Williams feud was nearing its boiling point. Porsha called Cynthia a bitch, which she said was a term of endearment, but Cyn wasn’t buying it, and well, neither was backing down. “We have had years of issues back and forth; I’m going to find out if this how it’s gonna all fall out,” Porsha shouted as Cynthia asked: “This is how you want to be? This is how you want to be?” Fans who love cat fights might answer yes, but the cast? The pushing, shoving and kicking escalated quickly. “I’ve seen this before. She’s like a rabid dog. This is a scary scene,” Kenya Moore, who knows what getting beat down by Porsha is like, said. Pretty nuts all around, even by their standards. In the aftermath of the brawl, Kandi Burruss headed to the doctor for an ultrasound of her baby, while Todd Tucker … had a phone call. One that caused him to miss its heartbeat. Finding work-life balance is tough on all of us, but at least they know it’s a boy … oh wait, that’s just the leg. Sorry Todd. Maybe it still is? Meanwhile, back to the dysfunctional mess that is Cynthia and Porsha’s feud, Kenya decided to insert herself into their reconciliation. It was as bad an idea as it sounds like. Basically, Kenya tried to point out that Porsha was a repeat offender in terms of violence, and Williams didn’t take kindly to this “gotcha” moment. “I don’t trust you,” Porsha told Kenya, wholly unimpressed with her motives. “You don’t have any compassion for me, and I know that.” Still, Porsha said she would “give Cynthia a chance” to make it right, while Bailey admitted that things got out of hand. So there’s hope? Kim Fields, Sheree Whitfield, Kandi, Cynthia, and Phaedra Parks were on edge when Cynthia and Porsha showed up at the same lunch. Once they had some privacy (except for gawking co-stars and Bravo cameras), Porsha and Cynthia got into it … fists-free this time. “Just bruising, so I took a couple days off from work,” Porsha said when Cynthia asked how she is. “But emotionally, I was bothered by the situation.” Porsha stuck to her story, though. “However that made you feel, that was not my intention behind it,” she said of bitch-gate, and that was close enough as apologies go. “I came here today to apologize for my part in it,” Cynthia said, following non-apology suit. “I had no expectation from you whatsoever.” Incredibly, they hugged it out. A few weeks before the most special time of the year, a true Christmas miracle may have just occurred. View Slideshow: The Real Housewives Cast Shake-Ups: Who’s In? Who’s Out?

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 8 Episode 4 Recap: Bachelorette Boat Ride From Hell

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 8 Episode 4 featured some emotional sit downs, an unexpected guest, and the party boat ride from hell. Which Bravolebrities were involved in which development(s)? Watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 8 Episode 4 Online Picking up where we left off last week, The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 8 Episode 4 found Kenya trying to mend fences with Sheree. While that relationship showed some (we didn’t say much) potential for growth, another was falling apart at the seams: Porsha and Duke. When the Duke was MIA for their Skype “date,” Porsha confided in Phaedra Parks, who was quick to tell her what she felt was going on. “If he is not building you up, honey, he’s like a dead weight around your neck,” her co-star enlightened her. “Everything runs its course.” She seemed to see the light, as well … after she threw an insane party to introduce him to all of her friends, but better late than never? Elsewhere, the pregnant Kandi Burruss and Cynthia Bailey met up for a rather serious conversation about love, business and marriage. Both when have had their marital issues, as you know if you watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta online . Will Cynthia’s union last? We’re left with a glimmer of hope, albeit a very slight glimmer. On to happier topics, Kim Fields dropped by Phaedra’s so their kids could have a play date, and give them a chance to interact on camera. The women bonded about what Kim’s “boobage” at Kenya’s hair care launch party, and finding their own identities, separate from family. She did not have to wait long, because Kenya decided to throw a bachelorette party for Cynthia on a boat … yes, you read that correctly. View Slideshow: The Real Housewives Cast Shake-Ups: Who’s In? Who’s Out? Given that Cynthia is already married, and unhappily to boot, we have no earthly idea how this qualifies, but a bachelorette boat ride it is. On hand were Kenya, Cynthia, Kim, Kandi, Porsha, Posha’s pal Shamea and Cynthia’s friend Tammy, who is BFFs with Sheree’s ex Bob. Soon enough, the laid back vibes faded as Kenya took Porsha to task for bringing Shamea without asking, then got into it with Shamea. Fortunately, we did not see Porsha Williams beat down Kenya Moore a second time, but the latter did make threats against her friend. “I’m going to have the captain escort you off my boat. This is my party,” Kenya told Shamea. “If you want to take the shortcut, you can jump.” Was it not Cynthia’s bachelorette party? Just trying to clarify here . There was also a convo in which Tammy described her husband as “Nazi white” and hounded Kandi about working with her rapper son. It was an interesting day on the boat, and that was before Porsha said, “Whatever, Bitch,” to Cynthia during a moderately tense exchange. Bailey lost her mind, and while Porsha insisted she was using the word as a term of endearment, a heated Cynthia took it as an insult. Next week’s previews show Porsha on the ground, being held down by the production crew, so this one clearly escalates pretty quickly. Tune in next week to see how we get from Point A to Point B!

Dancing with the Stars Recap: Who Made the Final Three?!

After some of the most shocking Dancing with the Stars results of all time and plenty of dramatic twists, it has all come down to the finals. But who, among the remaining four celebrities of Season 21 would make it to the last three in part one of this epic two-night finale event?! Watch Dancing With the Stars Season 21 Episode 12 Online For the finals, it was judge’s choice dances and freestyles, and the latter took the cake. Let’s break down the scores, and the dances that earned them, below: Bindi Irwin and Derek Hough: 60 (30, 30) The favorites’ quickstep was flawless and their freestyle was better than flawless (if such a thing could exist), with emotions – and talent – running high. Carlos PenaVega and Witney Carson: 60 (30, 30) Their foxtrot achieved perfection despite music not fitting the dance, and their freestyle somehow meshed Paula Deen and sports for another 30/30. Hey, if it works, it works, and if it doesn’t, it doesn’t. Nick Carter and Sharna Burgess Freestyle: 60 (30, 30) If seeing Nick Carter gyrate to “Larger Than Life” doesn’t get you off of your seat (or at least inspire you to pick up your phone and vote) what will?! Alek Skarlatos and Lindsay Arnold: 57 (27, 30) Alek’s rumba fell short of perfect but his freestyle had no such issues. It felt like a scene out of The 100, yet sexy as heck and destined for greatness. Alas, someone had to go, and despite two perfect scores, Carlos PenaVega and Witney Carson were shown the door on this DWTS night. Brutal. Who will take home the mirror ball in tonight’s finale? Derek and Bindi seem to have this locked up, both in terms of skill and fan support. Well, unless Nick has more Backstreet numbers planned … View Slideshow: Dancing with the Stars: All the Winners!

The Voice Recap: Top 11 Perform, Who Will Survive?

Following the latest rule change and The Voice results show that saw only one singer cut last week, 11 remain to fight for the Season 9 title. Only one artist will exit after Tuesday’s episode, bringing us down to 10, and then one more next Tuesday, paring the field down to 9 singers. Then … FIVE will exit at once the following week, giving us our final four. So basically, all of these early weeks are auditions for that night. Let’s see how the Top 11 did Monday night on that note … Shelby Brown: “You and I” by Lady Gaga Seeing Shelby sing something that wasn’t true country (though Gaga’s epic track has a tinge of it and more) was a highlight of the evening. Evan McKeel: “Smile” by Nat King Cole Known for his energetic performances, Evan dialed it back, seeking to connect the audience to a moving song with an infectious message. Barrett Baber: “Delta Dawn” by Tanya Tucker Basically doing his thing, Barrett’s gritty voice and presence were more than up to the task; Voice voters will decide whether to keep him. Korin Bukowski: “Only Hope” by Mandy Moore Looking to bounce back from being last week’s Instant Save, Korin delivered a tender performance and looked even more like Coach Gwen. Amy Vachal: “Blank Space” by Taylor Swift Great cover and arrangement by Coach Adam, as this Taylor Swift hit felt original, unique and special in its own right. Will it be enough? Zach Seabaugh: “Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not” by Thompson Square It is what it is at this point for Zach. He needs the teenage girls to vote him on and he did little to disappoint them with his latest effort. Madi Davis: “Love is Blindness” by U2 It was a U2 cover, but Madi channeled her inner Adele and … we don’t even know what. But it left her in tears, and Pharrell leaping from his seat. Braiden Sunshine: “True” by Spandau Ballet Coach Gwen said she is trying to avoid the stigma of being a 15-year-old, but was a song that preceded him by decades asking too much? Jordan Smith: “Who You Are” by Jessie J Like Madi, Jordan was in tears by the end of this, because it just “feels so good to say it, that it’s OK to be who you are.” He’s also a great singer. Emily Ann Roberts: “Why Not Me” by The Judds Coach Blake praised her for turning a Judds song into a bluegrass number, and while she may play to a niche audience, she does it with panache. Jeffery Austin: “Dancing on My Own” by Robyn Range. That’s what Jeff boasts more than anything else, and this was yet another prime case of why he’s here and may have staying power. Who do you think will get the chop tonight? And who do you think has the horses to survive not only Tuesday, but until the final four?

The Vampire Diaries Season 7 Episode 4 Recap: Bring Me to Life

Many lives were lost, two lives were resurrected and one life may be starting anew as a result of events on The Vampire Diaries Season 7 Episode 4 . Ready to run all this down? We’ll start THREE YEARS IN THE FUTURE just to get that over with: Alaric is the dad to twin girls! There’s no mention of a wife or a mother, just a figure standing in the doorway that scares him and his daughters. It’s Damon. Alaric says he must be there because someone died. Damon says that will be the case soon if Alaric doesn’t do exactly what he says. Back to PRESENT DAY: Damon discovers that Oscar has been killed, making up some story to Nora and Mary Louise that he’s gone missing; a story they do not buy and which leads them to kill a Whitemore student every hour until Oscar turns up. Cue Stefan and Caroline trying to keep an eye on them by making them want to attend a Heaven and Hell college dance. View Slideshow: 15 Best Shows in CW History: Ranked! At the dance, Nora and Mary Louise have it out over how the former has adjusted well to modern times, but the latter is struggling and figuratively smuggling the former. It’s actually a nice few moments, giving fans insight into this relationship and these characters. There’s definite potential for the Heretics to end up like The Originals and their presence has already opened up the world of Mystic Falls in a much needed way. Nora and Mary Louise make up in the end, sharing a slow dance after Stefan and Caroline teamed up to force Nora to siphon away Valerie’s vervain spell. Stefan can now touch his girlfriend… and touch her he does! They totally have sex. While this is taking place, Damon takes Oscar to the morgue and Bonnie successfully brings him back to life with The Phoenix Stone, though he seems to have no memory and is REALLY hungry now that he’s alive again. But Damon does successfully return him to Lily and receive Elena’s coffin in exchange. Lily gives her son a speech about how he needs to find out who he is without Elena at some point, prompting Damon to drink a lot of wine… write in his journal… and then send Elena’s coffin off with Tyler. Random, right? But maybe that explains why Damon is in Brooklyn in three years. Perhaps he chose to sleep next to Elena until she wakes up. Speaking of waking up: we end the episode with Bonnie also using the Stone to bring Jo back to life. It cuts to black as soon as her eyes open. Whoa there! What will this mean on The Vampire Diaries Season 7 Episode 5 ? We’ll be tuning in to find out. And you should be heading to TV Fanatic to watch The Vampire Diaries online if you missed any of the action.

Real Housewives of Orange County Reunion: Brooks Ayers and Vicki Gunvalson Daughter Lash Out!

If you’ve spent any time watching The Real Housewives of Orange County , you know that Vicki Gunvalson’s daughter, Briana Wolfsmith-Culberson, loathes her mom’s ex-boyfriend. And in case you didn’t know, Briana is making clear (again) on The Real Housewives of Orange County Reunion . Briana took a seat on the reunion couch to open up about her mom’s relationship with ex-boyfriend Brooks Ayers.   She made it clear that she despises Brooks.  And, once again, she brought up the allegations about Brooks hitting her at Vicki’s birthday celebration. Briana said, ”And I told her that he did and she called me a liar and said that he would never want me.” Her account of Brooks got even more disturbing when she claimed that Brooks wanted her his junk and claimed that his nickname was “Girth Brooks.” Brooks isn’t taking Briana’s accusations very lightly.  In fact, he struck back telling E! News that Briana is trying to put Vicki in the middle of things. “It’s a typical Briana move, creating a ‘He Said, She Said’ scenario that once again puts her mother in the middle of a no-win situation,” Brooks told E! News. “I’m glad that I no longer have to deal with this unnecessary drama. I categorically deny having said anything like that to Briana.” He also said, “Vicki and I dated a year prior to Briana ever meeting me. She never gave me a chance.” “And one thing led to another and the first time I met Briana was the very night that she told her mom that she was married, and I think that Briana had some significant issues as a child growing up with some ‘Daddy issues,’” Brooks added. On a separate interview for the reunion show, Andy Cohen sat down with Brooks.  During the interview, Brooks claimed that Briana is manipulative and is taking advantage of Vicki. Despite Briana’s criticism about Brooks over the years, Vicki continually sided with her boyfriend.  It’s tough to tell if Vicki truly wants to defend Brooks, or if it is part of a legal agreement. According to sources,  Vicki and Brooks signed a legal contract  that requires them to refrain from negatively talking about each other in public. Vicki and Brooks split  in August of this year.

The Real Housewives of Orange County Reunion Recap: This Guy is a Filthy Piece of S–t!

A week ago, The Real Housewives of Orange County stars came together and made generally nice on the first half of their Season 10 reunion. On last night’s The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 10 Episode 21 , or part two of the reunion special, did the fit finally hit the shan? Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 10 Episode 21 Online There are certainly plenty of fireworks to look forward to when you watch The Real Housewives of Orange County online . We’ll just say that. Among the topics on deck here in the second inning: Is Jim Edmonds really as big of a d–k as he seems on TV? Has Shannon Beador ever run into David’s mistress? Does Vicki Gunvalson know what a “circle jerk” is? Did Brooks try to show Briana his d–k?! We’re sensing a certain theme with these people. Rookie of the Year Meghan King Edmonds’ marriage has been a hot topic this idea, but she revealed that she and former MLB star Jim have a prenup. That, she says, was entirely her idea. Meghan didn’t want Jim, or his children, to ever feel this was about money, or that she was somehow out to take something that was theirs. Pretty big of young Megan, honestly. Not so big? Jim snapping at her in condescending fashion more than once this season. “I wasn’t really ready for TV to catch everything,” Jim said. Meghan defended her husband, and their relationship, which was strained by Jim’s post-baseball broadcasting career and its major travel obligations. She said she doesn’t let him get away with treating her like this, and though some of what we saw were low points, on the whole it’s “not our marriage.” We’ll buy that … we think. Vicki Gunvalson-Meghan King Edmonds Fight on The Real Housewives of Orange County Shannon Beador, meanwhile? Her own marital troubles – her husband’s affair, their estrangement, attempts at counseling and reconciliation – have played out regularly on camera. She said she never would have thought she would be the kind of person to stay in a relationship after the other person cheated, but here she is. For good reason. They’re in a good place, she insists, and Shannon says she will do anything to keep her family together. Not that it’s been easy. The “other woman” is still in their social circles, apparently. “‘David, look at her and compare, look what you got here,'” she said she told him once. Finally, after so long defending her relationship with Brooks Ayers, Vicki Gunvalson seemed resigned to letting people think whatever they want. With Brooks threatening to sue Vicki , she wasn’t about to sell him out – if she even wanted to – but her tone was more somber than we’re used to. As for why they broke up? Vicki did not say she thought Ayers was faking cancer or not faking cancer, but admitted daughter Briana Culberson’s disapproval was a big factor. Brooks Ayers vs. Briana Wolfsmith-Culberson Culberson then joined the reunion party to recall the story of how Brooks hit on Briana at Gunvalson’s birthday party, back when Culberson was pregnant. Ayers, allegedly, offered to show Culberson his penis, saying he was nicknamed “Girth Brooks.” (This first came up on the reunion two years ago.) Brooks, for his part, appeared in a separate interview with host Andy Cohen and accused Briana of manipulating – and mooching from – her mom. “This guy is a filthy piece of s–t,” Culberson responded after watching that footage, and we have a feeling next week’s part three will be AAB, ATT. All About Brooks, All The Time.
