Big Brother Recap: Floaters Beware!

Last week’s eviction of Lawon and return of Brendon could’ve spelled certain defeat for Daniele and Kalia unless the former somehow came through to win HoH. Amazingly, with a boost from Jorff and Brenchel’s inability to count, she did. But what she did in her second reign as Head of Household came as a surprise. THG recaps Sunday’s Big Brother installment below … Minus 8 for having to relive this moment again at the start. Minus 5 more for Shelly’s blatant celebration of Brendon’s return, which – spoiler alert – she may come to regret depending on how this week progresses. “Why?!? Why, America?!?!” Kalia whines about the voting that sent Brendon back into the house. Um, probably to see this exact reaction on TV? Plus 4 . For the second time this year, Dani knows that if she doesn’t win HoH, she’s toast. But then Brendon, Rachel, Jeff and Jordan all go down hard! Plus 7 . Plus 2 for Jeff’s overly enthusiastic narration, in general. When Porsche’s home state came up, she cannot BELIEVE it is represented by olives (in a martini glass to symbolize nightlife, her career field ). Instead, she suggests … alligators. GREAT idea for a counting game. Plus 6 . Plus 3 more because whenever we see her listed as VIP Cocktail Waitress, we can’t help but think of Tiger Woods. She’s even from Florida, too! Daniele triumphs with a consistent set of ballpark guesses. If nothing else, the girl backs up her tough talk and will never say die. Props. Plus 9 . Shelly’s machinations finally caught up with her. About time. Minus 12 , because you can’t play all sides for so long AND act so indignant after it backfires. At least be somewhat self-aware and own your mistakes. Plus 6 for Jordan’s “job interview” with her, though. Porsche’s an airhead, but she’s not totally inept, making her more of an idiot savant than, say, Lawon, who was purely an idiot. He asked to be evicted! Plus 2 . While Brenchel’s word must be taken with a boulder of salt, they made a nice pitch to Daniele. First, they sabotaged Shelly nicely. Second, they admitted that they, too, are targets. No one would see this alliance coming … Plus 9 . Adam to Daniele: “If I win HoH next week …” Sorry, we stopped paying attention, since we focus only on plausible scenarios here. Plus 3 for trying though. “I will never let her take my class away from me.” – Shelly. No words can do it justice, but Minus 17 for the amazingly clueless, absurd nature of this quote, on top of the nonsense about not being “cool enough” to hang with Dani. At least Adam (like Dominic) realizes he sucks. Plus 5 . Daniele surprisingly puts up Shelly and Adam. Wash . Seems like she’s overthinking it, rather than going with her gut and gunning for Brenchel. Then again, the back door strategy is in play, and Shelly is the worst kind of floater – a dangerous one. EPISODE TOTAL: +14. SEASON TOTAL: +4. Did Dani make the right call with her nominations?

Judge to Lindsay Lohan: Get Your $h!t Together!!

Judge Stephanie Sautner made it clear today that she is unimpressed with Lindsay Lohan and her progress, or lack thereof, in completing her probation. The actress was reamed out at a progress hearing and told that she had better complete her community service within a year of sentencing – or else. “I’m not going to give five extra minutes,” she said, adding, “I don’t want to hear, ‘Oh, I couldn’t do it because I was on the set of a John Gotti movie.'” The judge was frustrated that in two months since she somehow avoided jail for stealing a necklace, Lindsay has completed just four days out of 60. Also upset that Lindsay had not enrolled in psychological counseling – as she’s required to do – Sautner is giving her 21 days to sign up, or else! The L.A. County Probation Dept. asked Judge Sautner to violate Lindsay’s probation and remand her into custody for three alleged violations. It’s worth noting that two claims were bogus and the third – LiLo not returning a call from her probation officer – was resolved (she called back). Judge Sautner made it very clear that she will revoke LiLo’s probation if she doesn’t get her a$$ in gear, but told off her probation officer, too. Sautner called the officer’s claims totally inaccurate and judge strongly implied the probation officer was unfairly gunning for Lindsay Lohan . The probation officer’s alleged beef with Lohan was threefold: Lindsay did not pay $3,900 in fees for community service. This was not a violation, however, has she has three years to pay these. Lindsay did not return the call of the probation officer. Again, the probation officer was wrong. Lohan actually left three messages. Lindsay did not prove to the department that she enrolled in her community service program, shoplifting program, and psychological counseling. Again, irrelevant. Lohan had to report these to the judge alone. People connected with LiLo think the probation officer has an axe to grind. It looks like the judge agrees, as she wasn’t moved by the claims. Still, Sautner has her own gripes with the way Lohan has conducted herself, and the possibility of jail still looms if she keeps screwing up. In other legal news, Lohan is being sued by Dawn Holland . [Photo: Fame Pictures]

Chris Brown on Condo Complaints: I’m Being Set Up By Haters!

Chris Brown is hitting back at allegations that he’s the neighbor from hell , saying peeps in his building are trying to smear him and make him look bad. Specifically, he claims one of his neighbors scratched the initials “C.B.” into an elevator in an effort to make the singer look like a “reckless punk.” Chris’ West Hollywood neighbors are not fans, complaining to the manager about noise, parking violations and the aforementioned vandalism. Now, Brown has FIRED BACK on his Twitter page. “My neighbor carves my name in our elevator to incriminate me so it looks like I’m a reckless 22 your [sic] old,” the star writes. As for photos showing Brown parking in handicapped spaces, Brown says, “My parking spaces in my building that were assigned to me when I [bought] this crib are now painted over with handicap and no Parking signs.” His lawyer echoed this sentiment earlier in the week, saying the spaces are clearly Brown’s and that he is taking legal action. “A person should be able to live in his or her own company of their house!” Brown adds, pleading once again for the haters to leave him alone. “I’m barely even home so these stories and accusations are so childish!”

So You Think You Can Dance Results: Who’s Out? Who’s Still In?

I was expecting that the voting process would shift from the judges to America, but this season Nigel, Mary, and Neil Patrick Harris continued the eliminations. This is definitely giving a buffer zone to the talented dancers that have fewer fans on So You Think You Can Dance . So who survived to dance another week? Here’s a rundown of last night’s results show … Two of the top 10 were sent packing last night … Group Routine: Broadway (Josh Vergas) – We got another routine that was a bit too Fosse that really didn’t work. The girls weren’t synchronized and the guys had Jess in the front mugging for the camera. The coupling section was poor and the tricks looked more like time wasters then any form of cool intricate choreography Results Part 1: Mitchell, Tadd, and Melanie – Mitchell had a lackluster Broadway routine and was obviously part of the bottom four. Mitchell marks his fourth appearance in the bottom, though the first was because of injuries. Melanie managed to overcome some of the stigmas of a slow Viennese Waltz and losing Marko. According to Nigel, Tadd out danced Comfort, this is enough to argue that we need a new hip-hop female. Both Tadd and Melanie were safe. Results Part 2: Marko, Sasha, Clarice – Marko opened the show with a sexy samba and benefited from having Chelsie Hightower for increased exposure; Marko was also last to perform his solo last night. He was easily safe. Sasha had one of the best Lyrical Hip-Hop routines, topping her last Lyrical Hip-Hop “Coming Home.” As much as Clarice was last and had an explosive Bollywood routine, Neil mentioned that he never connected with her. Clarice was in the bottom and Sasha was safe. Results Part 3: Jess, Jordan, Ricky, Caitlynn – Jess was criticized for mugging for the camera, and the performance was all about how beautifully Kathryn moved. Ricky had another nightmare routine after following his zombie “Fashion” routine, on the second look; Ricky was very supportive of Allison. Jess was safe and Ricky was in the bottom four. Ricky now was also in his fourth appearance in the bottom showing that both Ricky and Mitchell should be eliminated soon. Caitlynn had the first Argentine Tango of the season and it marvelous to watch. Jordan had a very strong contemporary performance and was fighting. She had the disadvantage of performing second and having her solo in the middle. Jordan was in the bottom and Caitlynn was safe. Musical Performance: Daniil Simkin (Ballet) – There was something adorkable about the whole routine where it looked almost too easy. The “drunken Frenchman” storyline was easy to grasp and his leaps were insane. Solos Clarice – The performance lacked a bit of something outside of the “Look at me, I’m pretty.” I couldn’t stop looking at the bow on her butt, there was no reason for it to be there and it looked like one you would put on a present. Mitchell – A really cool routine involving a piece of fabric and proved his athleticism. Even though he fell out of his turn a bit, he had the same physicality he always does. Jordan – Another slow routine which displayed her powerful extensions. The song was one of the most fitting songs as well where the lyrics kept saying “don’t you let me go, let me go tonight” almost as a plea to the judges. The judges already emphasized how much they loved her. Ricky – A performance where he was battling for a win. While the judges don’t respond positively on back flips it was great visual for the audience. Ricky and Mitchell are a bit interchangeable so either elimination wouldn’t faze me. Musical Guest: Blush ft. Snoop Dogg – Does Snoop Dogg get paid to just say hello these days? Blush seemed like one of those attempts for an Asian group to succeed. The Wonder Girls tried before, I’m waiting for 2NE1 to hit America first. Someone was off from the backing track and I couldn’t get past that. The final verdict After the commercial break, Nigel announced that the votes were unanimous, so the background conversation was probably just Neil talking about his involvement with The Smurfs . Nigel emphasized that contestants have been in the bottom before, including the apparently untouchable Twitch. Have we all forgotten that Twitch lost? The point was that Nigel cut Mitchell and Clarice in one quick swoop. Did they get it right? Comment below!

Bill Maher on Casey Anthony Verdict: Akin to Republicans!

Bill Maher is rarely afraid to speak his mind. The comedian lost his ABC program, Politically Incorrect , in 2002 when he said Americans were “cowards” for “lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away,” while the terrorists on board the 9/11 planes were “not cowardly.” Now, the talk show host is creating a scandalous stir once again. On HBO’s Real Time Friday night, Maher compared the verdict in the Casey Anthony trial to “Republican thinking.” His reasoning? Bill Maher Compares Republicans to Casey Anthony Jurors “[Half of American voters] say ‘I’m with the party that cuts all these programs for real people, for the 99 percent. Planned Parenthood, environmental protection, college, health care, infrastructure, but holds the line on private jets.’ Voting for them is as stupid as voting not guilty for the mom who lost her baby for a month and went looking at a wet t-shirt contest… “Yes, Republican base, you are just like that jury. It’s pathetically clear who’s killing the middle class but you keep letting them get away with murder..” Watch the full monologue above and decide: Did Maher go too far?
