Nigella Lawson attacked by husband in public via Rickey.org Nigella Lawson was assaulted by her husband Charles Saatchi in a restaurant in London. He grabbed her by the throat and the incident was caught on camera. OMG This guy is a monster! I feel so bad for Nigella. I’m sending out positive vibes to her. Nigella Lawson attacked by husband in public From The Mirror: Her eyes are transfixed as she struggles to prise away the powerful hand squeezing around her throat. Glamorous TV cook Nigella Lawson looks stunned to be ­attacked by her art collector husband Charles Saatchi during a vicious row at their ­favourite London restaurant. Fellow diners and passers-by at Scott’s in Mayfair were shocked to see the ­advertising ­multimillionaire reduce his celebrity wife to tears. Saatchi launched a tirade of angry words. Four times he grasped her around the neck with Nigella, 53, looking powerless and petrified. At first he used only his left hand, then both. At one stage he tweaked her nose then pushed both hands in her face. Twice Nigella jerked her head backwards as if in fear. Several times she nodded ­intently while the conversation became more and more heated. By the end of the meal she was clearly distraught and in tears. Now there are fears of severe problems in their 10-year marriage – his third and her second.

Teen Wolf – Recap: Was Derek Put to Sleep? via Rickey.org Episode 3 of Season 3 of MTV’s Teen Wolf surely shook things up. All Scott McCall needs at this point is for some awful virgin-loving demon to rise from the earth. Did Derek make the ultimate sacrifice? I have to begin the recap and review of Episode 3, “Fireflies,” by reminding you all of the one key rule to surviving any supernatural horror; steer clear of the woods after dark. Sorry, lovely lesbians who neglected to notice the gigantic full moon, but don’t you know by now that flesh eating werewolves and, worse yet, creepy bugs live in the forest? As Scott (Tyler Posey) and his crew tracked down the rabid Boyd (Sinqua Walls) and Cora (Adelaid Kane), our favorite ginger, Lydia (Holland Roden), found herself recovering from the psychotic wail that closed out last week’s episode with a good old fashioned mental snap. MTV “Teen Wolf” Episode 3 opened with two young children playfully catching fireflies in the woods at night. A score reminiscent of one that would play over a Steven Spielberg film played over their frolicking. What a lovely scene that was set, yet not a parent in sight. The gargantuan Boyd nearly tore the two in half, but as it turns out, fireflies hate werewolves almost as much as vampires do. An angry swarm of the bugs distracted Boyd while the boy and girl made their way to the safety of Scott McCall’s arms. Meanwhile, Derek Hale (Tyler Hoechlin) had been searching another stretch of the woods alone. The power and speed of the moon-juiced wolves far outmatched their own, so the two decided to partner up. At this point we the viewers loved the concept of, well, super friendly bugs. There’s a first time for everything! Of course, that first time was completely trumped by the scene that would follow. A young female couple transformed a boring old tent into what looked like a five-star hotel room. Seriously, I’d be afraid to light one candle in a tent, and there seemed to be dozens. “If the tent is a’rockin’, don’t come a’knockin’” has officially been replaced with, “If the ten is a’rockin’, you go on fire.” Not that the two ever got the opportunity to get down and dirty. A swarm of cricket-like black insects began to collect outside the tent, driving one of the girls to run screaming like a wild woman through the trees. Eventually, the swarm devoured her without even leaving so much as a bone or two. The girl’s partner stood outside the tent calling out and searching, only find herself targeted by a crazed Cora and subsequently rescued by Scott and Isaac (Daniel Sharman). Later, the girl’s tale of a she-wolf attacking her would be ruled inconclusive due to the fact that she’d dropped a bit of ecstasy prior to lighting her ten thousand candles. MTV “Teen Wolf” Meanwhile, Lydia decided to cap off her night of screaming like a lunatic with a trip to the store. Wherever she was heading, I’m not sure. Maybe a 7-11? Poof! Lydia stepped out of her car and into the scene of a grizzly murder. How she ended up at a public pool in the middle of the night remained a mystery, but the lifeguard on duty certainly wasn’t telling anyone. Lydia followed up a 911 call with a call to Stiles (Dylan O’Brien), who examined the scene, noticing a purity ring, before informing Scott’s pack that Boyd and Cora had most likely killed a boy. Derek wouldn’t buy it. Even with super speed, the two could never had made it that far in time to murder the boy. Scott, on the other hand, refused to consider anything else. If you ask me, the fact that the body was that of a lifeguard propped up perfectly in his chair was the first tip off that something was amiss. Giant tip off number two had to be that the man was watching over an empty pool in the middle of the night. Nobody found that the least bit odd? Allison Argent (Crystal Reed) sat moping in her car following Scott’s revelation that her dead mother took a bite from Derek becaus

‘The Client List’ renewal in jeopardy over baby drama via Rickey.org Credit: Lifetime So it looks like the renewal prospects for Lifetime’s The Client List have hit a bit of a snag. TVLine reports that the trouble with the series, which just wrapped up its second season on Sunday, stems from star Jennifer Love Hewitt’s real-life pregnancy by co-star and fiancé Brian Hallisay. The actress reportedly wants the real-life father of her child to be the father of her fictional baby on the show. The problem, however, is that neither the network nor the show’s creative staff have decided on how to handle the character’s pregnancy in season three just yet. But one thing is for certain, neither party is all that keen on Hewitt’s proposal. The showrunner is reportedly pushing for co-star Colin Egglesfield, who plays Hewitt’s brother-in-law Evan, to be the father of the child, while Lifetime higher-ups remain ambivalent about which direction to take the storyline. This has had the result of delaying all negotiations for a season three renewal, as Hewitt’s real-life pregnancy means that her fictional pregnancy would likely have to be integral to the show’s third season. “There are many story lines we are exploring,” Hewitt’s rep told Deadline. “So any suggestion that we are not doing our best to develop a great season is simply not accurate.” Though the series still draws solid ratings for Lifetime, the second season finale took a significant hit. The episode averaged 2 million viewers, down from last year’s 2.7 million haul. Of course, one must factor in the competition, which included the season premiere of True Blood, as well as, to a lesser extent, the NBA Finals. It would be a surprise if the show ultimately failed to get renewed over all this baby drama, but stranger things have certainly happened. Via: TVLine The Voice • American Idol • The X Factor

The Fosters – Recap: Living Arrangements via Rickey.org Recap and review of The Fosters – Season 1 Episode 3 – Hostile Acts: Now that the premise has been established, The Fosters is now able to develop the rest of the non-Callie ensemble. Though the central, anchoring dynamic of the series is the relationship between Stef (Teri Polo) and Lena (Sherri Saum), “Hostile Acts” focuses much of its narrative power on the independent struggles of Brandon (David Lambert) and Jesus (Jake T. Austin), who face their own homelife obstacles. This isn’t to say that Callie (Maia Mitchell) isn’t still around to continue her journey towards acceptance within the Foster clan, but she’s far less the ostensible lead of the series than in previous weeks. But even without Callie there to present viewers with a newbie’s point-of-view into this family, “Hostile Acts” has no trouble telling an engaging series of intersecting stories that further flesh out the characters of this show. This is starting to feel like a genuine ensemble, with each player being utilized with considerable restraint: no one dominates the screentime, nor is anyone really marginalized to the point of nonexistence. It’s an even-handed use of the cast that I hope continues as the series moves forward. As it stands now, “Hostile Acts” maintains the relatively high level of quality that the series has established over the last two weeks. Credit: ABC Family Central to the story of “Hostile Acts” is the dilemma of Brandon, who must decide whether he wants to move in with his father, Mike (Danny Nucci), or remain in the house where he grew up. Right off the bat, Stef makes the boneheaded decision to not give Brandon a say in the matter, as she feels ambushed by Mike’s decision to offer their son a change of living arrangement without consulting her first. Brandon naturally rebels against his mother’s refusal to allow him an opportunity to speak for himself, and lashes out against the lack of choice he’s been faced with his entire life: he had no say in whether they took in a bunch of stray kids, nor did he have any say in whether or not he wanted to have two moms in the first place. The blow-up leads to Brandon storming off, and it kicks off an episode-long arc in which Brandon comes to recognize how badly he’s needed by his two moms, while Stef realizes that her insecurities spring from a fear of losing Brandon to Mike. It’s among the more recognizably relatable storylines of the series so far, as I imagine this is a situation that many viewers have faced, being caught between the affections of two divorced parents. It creates a question of loyalty that can really wreak havoc on a young kid’s mind, which is what happens here with Brandon. He tries to reconcile his ambivalent feelings about his father with his similarly conflicted feelings about his mother, and that conflict feels both earned and real. When he eventually reneges on his decision to move in with Mike, resulting in a truly heartfelt scene between father and son, it helps make everyone involved in the story feel more three-dimensional as characters, even Talya (Madisen Beaty), who continues to be jealous of Callie and suspicious of her intentions with Brandon. Meanwhile, Jesus is still dealing with the fallout of his taking the fall for Mariana (Cierra Ramirez), which has essentially torpedoed his social life due to having been grounded and faced with in-school suspension. This compromises his blossoming relationship with Lexi (Bianca A. Santos), and forces Jesus to reevaluate the sacrifices he’s made for his sister, particularly once he learns that Mariana had been giving money to their birth mother, and plans to meet with her again at some point. His conflicted feelings about his sister are further brought to the fore when Brandon tells Jesus that he needs to eventually let Mariana s

The Bachelorette Desiree – Episode 4 – Recap via Rickey.org Desiree and her 13 men leave their Los Angeles mansion to go to Atlantic City, NJ in Episode 4 of The Bachelorette. It’s “Las Vegas on the ocean,” as Kasey explains. Read my recap here. Brad’s One-on-One Zak and Mikey both think that though Brad is a nice guy, he’s a bit too reserved for Des. They ride around an amusement park and try salt water taffy and chocolate pretzels at a candy shop. She’s having fun! Though the sandcastle was gorgeous, the rest of the date was far from magical. At dinner, they get an awkward music edit, so we know the date is going downhill from here. The conversation doesn’t seem to flow naturally, and we actually see them eating food! When was the last time we’ve seen two people eat on a date on this show?! THAT NEVER HAPPENS. They then head up to the light tower, seemingly because she wants to not be next to the rose which is taunting her on the table, or because she just wants to end the date as soon as possible. She does not give Brad a rose, so he’s sent home. She says she didn’t really feel a connection between them. Group Date: Brooks, Bryden, Zack K., Kasey, Drew, Juan Pablo, Zak W., Mikey, Ben, Michael, Chris The guys go to Boardwalk Hall, the birthplace of the Miss America pageant, where they’re greeted by host Chris Harrison and Miss America Mallory Hagan. The 11 guys are competing in The Bachelorette’s Mr. America pageant! Haha, what good timing, considering Miss USA was last night. Christopher Dean, a pageant trainer, asks the guys to find their hidden talents. Des asks if anyone can twirl a baton, and Juan Pablo picks it up… and he rocks it! What can’t Juan Pablo do? They’re then all assigned swimsuits, because no pageant is complete without a swimsuit competition! ”To my disappointment, the bathing suit I was given was actually bigger than the one I brought,” Mikey says. “I was disappointed I couldn’t show anything off.” The guys perform in front of a live studio audience. The three judges are Mallory, Atlantic City mayor Lorenzo Langford, and Des. We start with the interview round! Kasey says that in a relationship he’s a giver because he’s romantic and likes to give love and affection and Zak W. alludes to wanting to fuel a girl’s fire. Brooks redeems (?) the state of Utah after Miss Utah’s word vomit last night and says that he could be any wild animal, he would be a lion because he wants to be the king of the jungle. Standards are low, okay? And at least his answer is a joke! Mikey probably has the biggest WTF answer out of all of them. When he’s asked what girls don’t see correctly about guys, he rambles on about how girls see guys as meatheads and they don’t see that they like to cry and take walks on the beach as well. Mmmmmmmmkay. The other guys crack up laughing from backstage. And now with the talent portion! Kasey tap dances around stage. He’s terrible, but he’s a performer, and everyone loves it! Mikey does a striptease… and then shirtless push-ups against the wall. Wait, didn’t he just say he wasn’t a meathead? Mikey the Meathead. Brooks sings a song and smashes his ukelele on his stage! “I smashed a ukelele on stage,” Brooks says. “How many people can say that? That’s talent.” Ben twirls some batons, Drew reads a scene from Romeo and Juliet, Chris hula hoops, shirtless, around his arms in high heels (!), Bryden does a striptease, and Zak sings a cute song while playing guitar. Chris putting on a show in his high heels In the swimsuit competition, we only see like six of the guys walk out in their swimsuits. What, where are the rest of the guys in their swim trunks and speedos?! And… the results! The pageant contestants line it up for the results! Brooks wins second runner-up. The first runn

The Voice Season 4 – The Finalists Review & Recap via Rickey.org This evening, the Top 3 acts from Season 4 are looking to secure your vote to be named the winner of ‘The Voice’ on Tuesday night’s results show. Last week, Team Adam and Team Shakira were eliminated, when Amber Carrington and Sasha Allen, respectively, were sent home. Both are very talented ladies, and may have paid the price for some questionable song choices, as has often been the case this strong and very entertaining season. From all reports, it sounds as though both Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green will be returning in the fall for Season 5, so Usher and Shakira might be done for at least the time being. I must say, I think they have done a good job, and was hoping to see what might happen if they were to return with a season of learning under their belt. My hat’s off to all the judges for doing such a strong job, without becoming the focus of each and every episode. Left to right: Adam Levine, Shakira, Blake Shelton, Usher, and Carson Daly The Final 3 are made up with members of Team Usher, Michelle Chamuel, and Team Blake, Danielle Bradbery and The Swon Brothers. Can Usher come through with a win in his rookie season as a judge? Can his Electro-Pop starlet command the votes to unseat the Country acts? Or will Blake take the title for the third consecutive season, and earn the first victory with a budding Country star? Can 16-year-old Danielle garner the votes to be the youngest winner so far, or will The Swon Brothers become the first group to take home the title. After all, Zach and Colton bucked the odds all season long, being the first duo or group to make it to the semifinal performances, and now the finals. Will the Country vote be split between the two strong acts, leaving room for Michelle to take the title in a season dominated by Country influences? Only time and Carson Daly can tell… Carson Daly comes out to the screaming audience to remind us that this is the final chance to impress the voters, and all three acts want to win it, and get the recording contract with Universal. It seems like they will be singing three songs each, with one new song, the song considered their ‘breakthrough moment, and a duet with their coach. Touching base with the coaches as the show begins, Blake has faith either of his acts could take the title, and Usher has designs to win it all with Michelle. The first performance tonight is from the judges, who take on “With A Little Help From My Friends”, the iconic song from the Lennon-McCartney songbook. Here is how the Beatles got the job done “With A Little Help From My Friends”. After a break, it is time for The Swon Brothers to give their first of the night. We see a recap of their journey on The Voice, and how far they have come over the past few months. They are singing “I Can’t Tell You Why” by The Eagles. The chorus for this song is sung in falsetto, with a real sweetness to it. Right away, we hear that Zach is in great voice, taking it to the song. They hit the falsetto in the chorus and are so on, it is scary. I am loving this performance. The Swon Brothers came to take the title back to Oklahoma. Usher was somewhat cool with his critique, but Shakira loved it, and had nothing but wonderful things to say. Adam thought it was incredible, just so right on. Blake is so proud of the boys, and how they have continued to evolve as artists, never resting on safe choices. After a break, Usher talks about how proud he is of Michelle, and to mark what he thinks is her breakthrough moment, Michelle will be singing Taylor Swift’s “I Knew You Were Trouble”. She sound pretty damn good, but I find it is often so hard to catch lightning in a bottle a second time. She sang it beautifully, and delivered it with a real Pop/Rock feeling. Shakira tells her she is extraordinary as an artist, and that is what music need
