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.

BluPrint and Jade – Meet the Top 20 – So You Think You Can Dance 10 – Video via Rickey.org BluPrint and Jade – Meet the Top 20 – So You Think You Can Dance 10 – Video This performance didn’t impress me as much as their auditions at first, but then it kicked into gear towards the end and I enjoyed it a lot more. That was down not to the dancers (who are great), but to the choreographer, Christopher Scott, who crafted a slow build into the dance. The judges and audience loved the whole thing, though, and that’s what really counts here! Watch their video below. The Voice • American Idol • The X Factor

Paula Deen admits to using the N-word in court via Rickey.org OMG! Paula Deen is a racist! — Rickey× Paula Deen says in lawsuit questioning that she has used racial slur but doesn’t tolerate hate SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — Celebrity cook Paula Deen says she has used racial slurs in the past but insists she and her brother, who are accused of racial and sexual discrimination in a lawsuit by a former manager of their restaurant, don’t tolerate hateful behavior. In a court deposition filed Monday in federal court, an attorney for former restaurant manager Lisa Jackson presses the 66-year-old Deen about her racial views and those of her brother, Bubba Hiers. Deen is asked if she’s ever used “the N-word.” She responds: “Yes, of course.” Deen says she likely used the slur in the 1980s after a black man held her at gunpoint at the Georgia bank where she worked. Deen insists she and her brother object to slurs being used in “any cruel or mean behavior.” Copyright (2013) Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Jodi Arias film: a new case of fatal attraction via Rickey.org Lifetime’s ‘Dirty Little Secret’ portrays Jodi Arias drama as a new case of ‘Fatal Attraction’ NEW YORK (AP) — She doesn’t boil a pet bunny. But Jodi Arias displays wicked knife technique in a new Lifetime movie that could have just as well been titled, “Fatal Attraction for Cable News.” Premiering Saturday at 8 p.m. EDT, “Jodi Arias: Dirty Little Secret” is a ripped-from-cable-news saga of a woman scorned who last month was found guilty of killing her former lover, motivational speaker Travis Alexander. On June 4, 2008, Arias stabbed and slashed him nearly 30 times, slit his throat and shot him in the head in what prosecutors said was jealous rage, and what Arias unpersuasively argued was self-defense, when, according to her, he attacked her. But you know all that. “Dirty Little Secret” unearths no secrets, dirty or otherwise. Every sordid detail, it seems, has been trumpeted for years by the media, then recycled for months during Arias’ trial in Phoenix that got blanket coverage on TV and in particular on cable’s HLN, vaulting that network to record ratings. Now comes the inevitable made-for-TV film. Portraying what led up to the crime, it’s tucked handily between the May verdict for the murder trial and the July retrial in the life-or-death-penalty phase. The big surprise: “Dirty Little Secret” is a pretty good film. It’s a draw-you-in, sudsy melodrama stocked with guilty pleasures: romance, sex, obsession, betrayal and vengeance. Tania Raymonde (perhaps best remembered as Alex Rousseau on “Lost”) is swell as Jodi, with a remarkable likeness to this sexy, young woman no man could resist, at least not Travis as he fought a losing battle with his Mormon principles to feast on this forbidden fruit. Or, to use a metaphor straight from the film, forbidden coffee — which, as Travis explains to Jodi early on, he shuns as a Mormon because of its addictive properties. “I’m like coffee,” Jodi teases him. “Very strong coffee,” he agrees as he submits again. Jesse Lee Soffer (Jordana Spiro’s jammed-up brother on last season’s short-lived “The Mob Doctor”) makes a fine Travis — glib, blandly wholesome and all too relatable in his mission to have it both ways, relationship-wise: treating Jodi as a red-hot plaything while he nurtures a “suitable” wife-worthy prospect. Trouble arises, of course, as love-struck Jodi bridles at the strictly recreational role she plays in Travis’ life. Even joining the Mormon church can’t earn her an upgrade from her booty-call status. Travis argues that he never promised more. When Jodi was gazing into his eyes, he tells her, “You saw lust. You saw weakness. But you didn’t see love. It was never there.” So, for a time, Travis thrives as a satisfied two-timer, while Jodi is increasingly desperate to please. “I just want to be the girl that he wants,” she tells a chum. Then she snaps. “Dirty Little Secret” charts a step-by-step, we-all-know-where-this-is-headed run-up to her grisly payback, a scene lyrically staged as a slow-motion massacre to give the audience equal doses of horror and dramatic catharsis after having witnessed Travis push her past the breaking point. Well done. It’s dandy entertainment. Mind you, such an assessment of this film and its doomsday narrative is meant in no way to trivialize the real-life tragedy of Jodi Arias and Travis Alexander. But “Dirty Little Secret” is a step up from the reality-TV treatment the case has gotten with its more excessive coverage. The film also serves as a refreshing alternative for telling the tale, dramatized for maximum titillation while, in its tidy, two-hour package, efficiently stripping away the wretched excess. An oddly respectable bit

Shailene Woodley’s Mary Jane Cut from ‘Spider Man 2′ via Rickey.org Image: Kevin Winter Shailene Woodley’s role of MJ in the upcoming sequel to The Amazing Spider Man has been nixed… for now. Of course I’m bummed. But I am a firm believer in everything happening for a specific reason. MJ only appeared in a few scenes and I wouldn’t trade the experience of working with Andrew and Emma for three days on set for the world. Based on the proposed plot, I completely understand the need for holding off on introducing MJ until the next film. Well, that’s certainly a shame. I was looking forward to seeing Woodley’s spin on Mary Jane Watson. Still, I have faith that the team behind the series knows what they’re doing. Hopefully, it will be worth the wait. For now, fans of Woodley can look forward to seeing her in the upcoming Divergent film series. Via: EW The Voice • American Idol • The X Factor

Dance Moms – An Apple A Day Keeps Abby Away – Recap via Rickey.org Lifetime This was not one of Dance Moms better episodes. There was almost no mention or appearances by the main cast of girls. An episode of Dance Moms without the Dance Moms isn’t ideal. The episode chose to focus more on Abby’s decision to search for property in LA. Abby searches Los Angeles for the perfect dance studio to expand her business. Does this mean the show will move to LA? Will the girls and Dance Moms follow? Aside from telling the audience that she has no interest of having stripper poles in her new studio, Abby isn’t in the episode much either. My main problem with focusing an entire episode on Cathy and her ever revolving group of dancers is that they’re pretty boring. I find myself wanting to fast forward through the parts that feature the egotistical choreographer Anthony and the hot headed Dance Dad. I don’t know anyone that’s watching the show for their stories. The sad truth is, Cathy is only interesting when she’s fighting with the other Dance Moms. And with them not making much of an appearance in the episode, it left much to be desired. Cathy is rebuilding her dance team for what seems like the umpteenth time in a bid to try and beat Abby’s group of dancers at the next competition. With Abby in LA, our main cast of girls will not even be competing in the competition against Cathy’s group. To piss Abby off the most, Cathy has called in Hadley and her mother to join the team. Hadley appeared on Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition where Abby infamously called her roadkill. This episode also featured the return of Black Patsy and her daughter Nicaya. Along with a couple other girls and Cathy’s three boys, they will all be trying to prove to Cathy they deserve a permanent spot on the team. That’s right. Cathy is going to make some cuts. Before she even makes the team decision, she cuts one girl from the group number all together and bumps her to understudy. This scene was had to watch because the girl was so obviously heartbroken and it seemed, if possible, worse than how Abby treats her girls. Which says a lot. The new moms are just as boring as their plots. Their bickering comes across almost manufactured and scripted and I still haven’t even learned their names. In a breath of fresh air, Jill, Kelly, and Holly show up to the competition to snoop on Cathy’s team. 3rd place – Zack 2nd place – Hadley Cathy’s group wins first place in their category but I can’t help but wonder how hard that could have been without Abby’s team being there. The entire episode was a build up to a fight between Jill and Black Patsy. It was featured in the preview and several times during commercial breaks. Imagine my surprise, and annoyance, when the episode ends before the fight even begins. That was an MTV’s Real World move and I feel cheated. I feel like Jill could hold her own.
