The Bachelor Recap: And Then There Were Two!

You don’t need The Bachelor spoilers to tell you that Nick Viall’s journey for love reached its tipping point on this penultimate episode. With Season 21 of The Bachelor escalating toward its conclusion next Monday, who was eliminated and who advanced to the finale? Watch The Bachelor Season 21 Episode 10 Online On  The Bachelor Season 21 Episode 10 , you knew we’d start with the burning question, the resumption of the cliffhanger to end all cliffhangers: Did Nick make Raven Gates orgasm or no? We were spared any graphic details, but when Raven and Nick woke up in Finland after a night in the Fantasy Suite, she said the following: “Nick is really good at what he does.” “So I’m pretty satisfied today.” There you have it. Would you expect anything else from Nick Viall, given his level of experience with the winner of The Bachelor franchise? View Slideshow: Raven Gates Photos: Will She Win Nick Viall (and Bachelor Nation’s) Heart? Next up is Rachel Lindsay, who was announced as The Bachelorette weeks ago, so we knew at some point, she and Nick would split. This made for an interesting dynamic, especially with Rachel seeming to be on cloud nine in Finland with Nick. Would the other shoe drop? “You’re rare. And refreshing,” she tells him, beside herself that she’s still on the show with a guy she considers so amazing right now?  “I might be white, but I’m still a minority,” he says. Well then. He has a way with words, that Nick. “Rachel, I am falling for you,” he says, making the inevitable breakup that much worse for Lindsay and her fans at home “100 percent.”  One hundred percent? Was Vanessa at 110? View Slideshow: Rachel Lindsay: Get to Know The Bachelorette! Speaking of whom, Vanessa Grimaldi spent much of her romantic date with Nick in an ice bath, because this dude needs a cold shower. We kid, but he kind of does, are we wrong? “If we can do this together, we can do anything,” Vanessa says, in a cliche that makes kind of no sense in this context, but we digress. Shortly thereafter, Vanessa asks Nick about moving to Canada , and this proud American has a difficult time visualizing that scenario: “Your family’s so traditional. I’m not.”  Nevertheless, it’s Fantasy Suite time soon enough, and it presumably goes well, because Nick is crying later … that he has to cut someone. View Slideshow: Vanessa Grimaldi: The Bachelor Favorite? Much as we make fun of the man, and the show, it can’t be easy when one of the three women who did nothing wrong has to get dumped. Who would it be? As The Bachelor spoilers predicted, Raven Gates gets the first rose from Nick, and Vanessa Grimaldi gets the second. There was no twist. Rachel is going home. She’s crushed, and a little surprised, but for the most part, she holds it together as he walks her out into the snow where the limo awaits. Fortunately, so does her second chance. If you  watch The Bachelor online , you also saw the way she conducted herself on the Women Tell All special, and know Rachel is wonderful. Here’s hoping that fact, and the extensive time ABC has spent promoting her season in advance, pays off with a great list of contestants.

Antonia Gorga Dies; Mother of Teresa Giudice, Joe Gorga Was 66

A beloved member of the Housewives family has passed away. Antonia Gorga, the mother of The Real Housewives of New Jersey stars Teresa Giudice and Joe Gorga, has died at the age of 66. It is not immediately clear what the cause of Antonia’s death was. The elder Gorga, who made several appearances on her kids’ Bravo show, passed away earlier this weekend , according to People . Both siblings were close with their mother through the years. Often sharing moments they spent together on social media, the most recent was a December 19 post by Teresa Giudice to Instagram. You can see that image of mother and daughter above. “Mommy I love you so much,” Teresa captioned the sweet photo of herself and her mother, both smiling bright and looking truly happy. The 44-year-old controversy magnet clearly adored the matriarch of her family, adding the hashtag “#daughtersloveforhermom.” Her younger brother Joe and his wife Melissa Gorga, both 37, had previously honored the Gorga matriarch in the most eternal fashion:  Their 12-year-old daughter is named after her. Likely still in mourning and taking care of her affairs, neither Giudice nor the Gorgas have addressed Antonia’s death on social media. Giudice’s last social media was on Instagram March 1, where she showed off her work with the NephCure Kidney International Foundation. Joe’s last update was an Instagram shout-out to his wife on Valentine’s Day, while Melissa posted a selfie along with her son yesterday. Those fans who watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey online don’t need to be reminded that their lives have been full of drama. Lately, though, things have been relatively quiet. The siblings recently united for a Christmas Eve celebration, the first Teresa has hosted had at home since her husband went to jail. Teresa Giudice’s husband of 17 years, Joe, is serving out a 41-month sentence for bankruptcy fraud in federal prison in Fort Dix, N.J. “Merry Christmas Eve with the family,” she gushed in her caption of a photo of the couple’s four daughters, along with her little brother’s kids. Teresa and Joe share Gia, 16, Gabriella, 12, Milania, 11, and Audriana, 7; Melissa and Joe are parents to Antonia, Gino, 8 and Joey, 5.  View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2017: In Memoriam Our condolences to the family this weekend. No matter what they’ve been through, or what you think of some of their life choices, family has been at the center of all that they do. Losing a loved one is a deeply painful experience for anyone, obviously, and especially for such a tight-knit family unit like the Gorgas.  Our thoughts are with them at this time.

Emma Watson: I Can Be a Feminist AND Have Boobs!

Emma Watson is a gift to this world that we don't deserve. Not even a little bit. She came to us so many years ago as the intelligent, courageous, nerdy but lovably Hermione Granger, and she hasn't disappointed us once in all this time. One of the most admirable things about Emma is that for the past couple of years, she's been a loud and proud feminist — so much so that she's spoken at the United Nations about feminist issues. Her fight for women's rights is actually one of the most notable things about her these days. So when she posed topless for Vanity Fair, some people felt the need to talk trash about her . One journalist tweeted “Emma Watson: 'Feminism, feminism… gender wage gap… why oh why am I not taken seriously… feminism… oh, and here are my tits!'” Because to some, Emma can't be a feminist and have visible breasts at the same time. Luckily, Emma has heard about the controversy surrounding the photo shoot, and she's taking the time to speak out about it. And what she has to say is simply delightful. “Feminism is about giving women choice,” she explained. “Feminism is not a stick with which to beat other women with. It's about freedom, it's about liberation, it's about equality.” “I really don't know what my tits have to do with it.” See Emma be her usual amazing self in the interview below:

Jane Fonda Reveals Rape, Childhood Abuse in Shocking New Interview

Jane Fonda is a remarkable woman. From her support to the civil rights movement in the 1960s to her involvement with several feminists causes to, let’s be real, her iconic workout videos, she’s been an inspiration to many. And in this new interview with the also amazing Brie Larson , Jane is really just taking our appreciation of her to an entire new level. Jane, who turns 80 this year, kicked things off by giving some real talk about feminism — particularly about the struggles of growing up as a woman so many years ago. “I grew up in the ’50s,” she explains, “and it took me a long time to apply feminism to my life. The men in my life were wonderful, but victims of a [patriarchal] belief system. I felt diminished.” She says that the first time she truly felt she was a feminist was when she saw Eve Ensler do a performance of The Vagina Monologues — which would have been in the mid 90s at the earliest. “It took a long time” for her to call herself a feminist though, “because I was brought up with the disease to please.” She went on to say, and this is where things really take an intense turn, that “To show you the extent to which a patriarchy takes a toll on females; I’ve been raped, I’ve been sexually abused as a child and I’ve been fired because I wouldn’t sleep with my boss and I always thought it was my fault.” “That I didn’t do or say the right thing.” “I know young girls,” she says, “who’ve been raped and didn’t even know it was rape. They think, ‘It must have been because I said ‘no’ the wrong way.'” “One of the great things the women’s movement has done is to make us realize that [rape and abuse] is not our fault. We were violated and it’s not right.” This is the first time Jane’s ever publicly said that she’s been raped — after so many years of speaking up for women’s rights , it must have taken a lot for her to share this. It’s not the only thing she shared though. She also discussed her controversial opposition to the Vietnam War. “I didn’t become an activist until I was 31,” she says. “When I found out what was really happening in Vietnam I didn’t care if I ever worked again; I considered leaving the business to become a full-time activist.” She recalls that “My father was terrified for me. He remembered the ’50s when people’s careers were destroyed.” Jane even adds that, with Trump as president, “It’s possible the [Hollywood] blacklist will be brought back.” And on the topic of Trump, she says that there are many battles to be fought, including but certainly not limited to the fight against defunding Planned Parenthood . About being an activist for so many years, she says “Honey, I am almost 80 years old. If you want to make it to the long-haul, you have to take care of yourself.” “I get more than eight hours sleep every night; I meditate twice a day for half an hour; I eat right; I workout.” “I always tell activists: ‘This is going to be a long struggle. We have to stay strong.” Yes, Jane Fonda. Just … yes. View Slideshow: 19 Celebrities Who Were Victims of Domestic Abuse

Vittoria Ceretti Locker Room Nudity of the Day

Her name is Vittoria Ceretti, I’ve never heard of her but I am sure she really matters because she’s in a magazine with her tits out…like every fucking girl who has a social media account.. I have a locker room fetish…and I always have…I used to go to the gym solely to walk into the women’s locker room accidentally…at one point I got a job working in the gym as a volunteer to walk into the women’s locker room accidentally – but with authority…which got me fired…so the women’s locker room was the death of my career at the gym…. I just like groups of women naked together, maybe it’s from watching Debbie Does Dallas as a kid, maybe it’s from liking women naked together…whether changing, showering, getting dressed, all circled around fitness.. I am a fan….. So this shoot…speaks to my soul. The post Vittoria Ceretti Locker Room Nudity of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepfather .

Actor Chris Evans Claps Back At White Supremacist David Duke Over Swirl-Hating Tweet

Chris Evans Is So Swirl-Worthy Actor Chris Evans is kind of the epitome of Captain America — which is good considering he plays the part. He’s one of our favorite people to follow on Twitter because, besides being super easy on the eyes, he is really into politics and will expose racism and hate whenever he has an opportunity. Just take for example, earlier today when white supremacist turned politician David Duke tried to call him out for being a self-hating swirler: Why does Chris Evans, who plays the Jewish inspired super hero, Captain America, hate the women of his people so much? #WhiteGenocide pic.twitter.com/nGjlf42wkG — David Duke (@DrDavidDuke) February 12, 2017 Listen though y’all, Chris Evans had NO time for the hate. He shut down Duke with this remarkably positive message. I don't hate them. That's YOUR method. I love. Try it. It's stronger than hate. It unites us. I promise it's in you under the anger and fear https://t.co/RGnH4rrblq — Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) February 13, 2017 He’s always been outspoken on Twitter, but since Trump was elected we’ve found Evans to be one of the voices of reason we can always count ont. Election night Evans tweeted this: This is an embarrassing night for America. We've let a hatemonger lead our great nation. We've let a bully set our course. I'm devastated. — Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) November 9, 2016 The day after the election Evans tweeted this: No more fear. Only hopeful optimism. I gonna let love be my guide. All my energy will now go towards protecting the rights of ALL Americans — Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) November 9, 2016 Check out some of his other great tweets on the flip

Scheana Marie-Brandi Glanville Feud: Finally Settled?

Before she joined the cast of Vanderpump Rules, Scheana Marie gained a modicum of infamy as one of the women who slept with Eddie Cibrian while he was still married to Brandi Glanville. If you're familiar with this crowd, you know the story: Cibrian went on to marry LeAnn Rimes , and Scheana swears she didn't know he was married. Understandably, Brandi is no huge fan of Scheana's, but it seems like years later, she might finally be coming around to the idea that it's Eddie who's to blame. If you watch Vanderpump Rules online , you know that this season hasn't been particularly kind to Scheana. Not only is she dealing with her divorce from Mike Shay , the other ladies in her clique are being less than kind. Ms. Marie has enjoyed plenty of sympathy on social media, and it seems like even Brandi is team Scheana these days On last night's Watch What Happens Live, Andy Cohen asked Scheana how she feels about Brandi offering some kind words in a recent interview. Scheana says the turn-around made her jaw drop, and she went on Twitter to thank her former rival… …only to find that Brandi still has her blocked. Looks like this hatchet isn't completely buried just yet. Watch the clip below to see Scheana's reaction to Brandi's stunning endorsement.
