| Recap of 'Pretty Little Liars' Season 6 Episode 8: A's Right Hand Man Revealed? Posted: You know how Aria Montgomery's secretly a genius photographer who spends all day snapping pictures of dolls and whatnot? Well, this week on "Pretty Little Liars," the art world was like "ONLY ARIA CAN SAVE US!" and she got herself a gallery exhibition. Unfortunately, A thought this would be a great time to be a total photography buzz kill and ruined the entire event. Other things that happened this week include a new reveal about A's right hand man, and some Ezria flirting that will have shippers shaking and crying. Also of note, Toby Cavanaugh was absent -- presumably due to the fact that he recently binge-ate a bunch of pot gummy bears and is still high. Everyone Panic, Senior Prom Might Be Cancelled Last week, the liars got themselves held up at gun point by the Rosewood PD thanks to their terrible decision to go after Charles DiLaurentis, and now their lives are basically ruined. Not only does the whole town know about Charles, Rosewood High might not let the liars go to prom for their own protection. Sounds reasonable to be honest -- especially given that there's a known murderer roaming the streets. Actually, maybe cancel the entire event?! Just a thought. Aria Asks Ezra To Prom, Makes Everyone Uncomfortable Guys, so much is going on in Aria's life. Not only is she about to be a world famous Doll Photographer (that's definitely a genre), she finally has a parental figure! Yep, Aria's mom is back from the "PLL" backlots, and doesn't want Aria attending her gallery opening. Um, where were you when Aria was wandering around a decrepit fun-house last week, Ella? Anyway, Aria convinces Detective Tanner to bring police protection to the gallery, but this accomplishes basically nothing because A switches all of Aria's doll photos to images of the liars naked in a morgue. Womp. The good news is that Aria has Ezra to lean on (even though he seems interested in Emily's friend Nicole), and she asks him to prom. We repeat: she asks her professor, a former teacher at Rosewood High, to prom. No comment. Ali Breaks Into Rosewood Police Headquarters So, Ali has the worst life ever. It's like, she's finally out of prison, and now she might have a long lost brother who's been ritualistically stalking her for the past few years. Thankfully, Ali has her hunky policeman boyfriend, Lorenzo, to lean on -- but she puts their relationship in jeapordy when she steals his ID and breaks into the Rosewood Police Department. Five seconds later she's caught red-handed by Tanner, who informs her that the police plan to kill Charles on site when they catch him. Ali seems sad. Has she forgotten about the fact that Charles most definitely tried to murder her best friends, or? Red Coat Is Back! In case you've forgotten, Hanna is an unexpected super-genius -- but she can only go to school if she cashes a scholarship check with ties to Charles DiLaurentis. Hanna decides to visit the offices of Reese Matthews to find out more, as he issued the scholarship and definitely might be Charles. We're so worried. Either way, all evidence points to the fact that Reese is creepy. Not only does he look exactly like Jason DiLaurentis' long lost brother, he shows up at Aria's gallery and the liars follow him to an abandoned doll factory where he meets -- wait for it -- Aria's buddy, Clarke. Do we have an A Squad on our hands? This is the literal opposite of #SquadGoals. In other news, Red Coat is back and working with A, so yay, there's another psycho in the tiny town or Rosewood! And now, some burning questions.... 1. Is Clarke really working for A, and more importantly, is Reese secretly Charles DiLaurentis? This seems too random to be worthy, so hopefully the writers have something more exciting in the works. 2. Will the liars make it to prom? And -- brace yourselves -- will Ezra do the unthinkable and actually go as Aria's date? 3. Sara wasn't around this week and we can't help but think she might be working for A...should we trust her?

| Brittany Snow Will Return for 'Pitch Perfect 3,' Too Posted:  Joining her fellow leading ladies Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson, actress Brittany Snow is also set to return for "Pitch Perfect 3."That's the word from Variety, which reports that Snow is currently closing a deal to reprise her role as Chloe, one of the original Barden Bellas. Kendrick and Wilson made their involvement in the threequel official back in June. While it's unclear what the focus of "Pitch Perfect 3" will be, since Kendrick, Wilson, and Snow were all set to graduate at the end of "Pitch Perfect 2," that sequel's success made the greenlighting of "PP3" a no-brainer for studio Universal. "PP2" made a whopping $69 million on its opening weekend, and has gone on to gross more than $281 million worldwide since its release earlier this year. As of right now, original "Pitch Perfect" writer Kay Cannon is on board to pen the screenplay. No director has been announced yet, and Elizabeth Banks, who helmed the sequel, is not currently attached to return for the third flick. "Pitch Perfect 3" is slated to hit theaters on July 21, 2017.

| 'Bachelorette' Host Chris Harrison Hates Lifetime's 'UnREAL' Posted:  If you thought last night's finale of "The Bachelorette" was dramatic, wait until you hear what host Chris Harrison had to say about Lifetime's "Bachelor"-skewering series "UnREAL."In an interview with Variety, Harrison didn't mince words when asked for his thoughts on the drama, which revolves around the behind-the-scenes action on a fictional dating reality show that resembles "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette." Despite the show's critical acclaim, Harrison isn't a fan. "Really, the main difference that I've seen is that people watch 'The Bachelor,'" Harrison told the trade during an interview at "The Bachelorette: Men Tell All" taping, which took place earlier this month. "It's complete fiction. As much as they would love to jump on our coattails - they were begging for us to talk about it and for people to write about it - at the end of the day, no one is watching. I mean, absolutely nobody is watching that show. Why? It is terrible. It is really terrible." Those are some harsh words, though Harrison may want to check his facts. After all, the show is a hit with critics, and while it only enjoys a small fraction of the audience of Harrison's shows (Variety reports that the "Bachelorette" season finale scored some 8.1 million viewers, while "UnREAL" has topped out at 815,000), it was enough of a success that Lifetime ordered a second season. Harrison said that he's okay with other parodies of the "Bachelor" franchise, particularly those on "Saturday Night Live" and the Ben Stiller-produced show "Burning Love," but said that "UnREAL" hadn't earned its place in popular culture in order to take shots at his series. "UnReal' is just a really bad attempt [at a parody," Harrison told Variety, "and they got what they deserved, and that is no one is watching the show." Harsh.

| TCA: Chelsea Handler Dishes on Netflix Show, Documentaries Posted:  Chelsea Handler was typically candid during her appearance at Netflix's presentation during the Television Critics Association summer press tour on Tuesday, dishing about her new series (which isn't a nightly talk show, FYI) and the four documentaries that she's making for the streaming service.Handler said she was drawn to make the docs -- titled "Chelsea Does Marriage," "Chelsea Does Racism," "Chelsea Does Silicon Valley," and "Chelsea Does Drugs" -- because "I had to get my brain working again." That was most likely a dig at E!, her former network and the home of her show "Chelsea Lately," though the comedienne declined to give any direct comment about the channel. (She apparently got her fill of trash-talking the network last year.) As for the documentaries themselves, Handler said each would be feature-length, and the comedienne is executive producing them alongside some pretty impressive talent, including Oscar winner Morgan Neville ("20 Feet From Stardom"). "They're all very different and amazing experiences for me work-wise," Handler said, noting that they were taking precedence over her talk show project. "After we're done editing [the documentaries] then I'll focus on the [talk] show," she said. "I've met with people I want to work with." The format of that show is still to be ironed out, but it won't be a nightly series like "Chelsea Lately." It will most likely air "several times a week or a few times a week," Handler said (unlike the current Netflix model of putting entire seasons/series online simultaneously), and will have a news bent. "We have to get it down to a place where we can shoot something and have it air 48 hours after," she explained. Both the series and the documentaries are expected to debut on Netflix sometime in 2016.

| TCA: What We Know About 'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt' Season 2 Posted:  The cast and creators of "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" took part in Netflix's Television Critics Association press tour stop on Tuesday, and dropped some details about the beloved show's upcoming second season."Kimmy" was famously saved by Netflix after NBC decided to pass on the project, but not before filming its entire 13-episode first season. Thanks to network mandates, the show was pretty PG, and that's not going to change much for season two, either. "I don't think you'll hear profanity or see nudity, but it gives us a license to play with time and structure without worrying about potentially offending an advertiser," co-creator Tina Fey explained of the differences between making the show for a traditional network versus for a streaming service like Netflix. That also means that future episodes of "Kimmy" will likely be longer than the standard 21 minutes and 15 seconds of airtime that network sitcoms get, though no installments will run past 30 minutes. "We want to be our own guides and not let ourselves get slow," Fey said. That's good news, since "Kimmy"'s madcap, zany tone was one of the highlights of the series. Also a highlight was the sweet-as-pie Kimmy herself (played by the adorable Ellie Kemper, who was robbed of an Emmy nomination), whose plucky disposition won't be changing anytime soon. "One of the fun challenges of the show is not letting Kimmy stop being Kimmy," co-creator Robert Carlock said at the panel. "She has to keep that strength and optimism." Those traits will come in handy, since Kimmy -- who also may see the return of her love interest, Dong (Ki Hong Lee), according to Fey -- is going to have more challenges ahead in season two. "New obstacles may present themselves before Kimmy can go on and live a fully realized life," Fey said. "She's in a big hurry to get everything she wanted out of the missing years of her life and hitting some speed bumps along the way." We can't wait. Season two of "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" is due to hit Netflix sometime next year.

| 6 Reasons You Should Be Watching 'Black-ish' Right Now Posted:  I've been waiting and debating for oh-so-long for a comedy show that is actually funny; and when I say funny I mean leg-slapping, foot-stomping, my-head-is-hurting funny! Well, to my surprise, ABC has delivered a new side-splitting comedy called "Black-ish," about a successful, black family man who struggles to find some cultural identity while raising his family in a predominately white, upper-middle class neighborhood. It stars Anthony Anderson, Tracee Ellis Ross, and newcomers Yara Shahidi, Marcus Scribner, and others. Here are six reasons why you should watch:1. Anthony Anderson Is Executive Producer Anthony Anderson was born in Compton and is the current host of Food Network's "Eating America," and formerly a member of NBC's Emmy Award-winning drama "Law & Order." Anderson played Detective Kevin Bernard opposite Jeremy Sisto's Detective Cyrus Lupo. He's also appeared in more than 20 films, including the comedy blockbuster "Barbershop." Now, he's starring in and executive producing "Black-ish," which airs Wednesdays on ABC and starts its second season this fall, and Anderson takes his keepin'-it-real comedy know-how to new heights on the hit show. 2. Marcus Scribner Knows How to Play the Dozens Marcus Scribner is only 15 years old, but he's already added his voice to Pixar's "The Good Dinosaur," and appeared in episodes of "Castle" and "Wedding Band." Now that he's one of the young stars of "Black-ish," this kid is on his way to the top. What took me by surprise with Marcus was, in Episode 6 ("The Prank King"), where he was instructed to roast a school mate to get the boy to stop bullying him. He was great! For me, growing up -- and even to this day -- my friends and I love to roast each other. "Roasting" is also known as "playing the dozens"and "bagging." Young kids will really relate to him. 3. It's Funnier Than 'The Cosby Show' "Black-ish" is funnier than "The Cosby Show" -- even without sedatives slipped in your drink. (Too soon?) 4. Donald Trump Hates It! When Donald Trump heard about "Black-ish" he sent out a Tweet stating "How is ABC Television allowed to have a show entitled "Blackish"? Can you imagine the furor of a show, "Whiteish"! Racism at highest level?" 5. Kenya Barris Is the Show's Creator He is known for his work on "America's Next Top Model," hit series "The Game" and "Girlfriends," and the films "Are We There Yet?" and "Barber Shop 3"; with these hit shows and movie under his belt, you already know "Black-ish" is poised to be one of the top comedies on television. 6. Tracee Ellis Ross Is Back and Funnier Than Ever Ross is an actress, model, comedian, and producer; she is also the daughter of legendary singer Diana Ross. She's starred in a number of films and television shows, like "Girlfriends," "Reed Between the Lines," "Daddy's Little Girls," and "Life Support." The funniest show I've seen her in is "Girlfriends," and she's injecting that knee-slapping comedy into "Black-ish."

| Tommy Lee Jones Joins the New 'Bourne' Sequel Posted: Variety writes that Jones is set to play a high-ranking CIA officer in the flick, which will reunite titular star Matt Damon with the hit action franchise. Damon last appeared in "The Bourne Ultimatum" in 2007, then turned the franchise over to Jeremy Renner in 2012 reboot "The Bourne Legacy." Jones has plenty of experience in the action and thriller genres (his Academy Award-winning role in "The Fugitive" is just one of many shining examples), so he should fit in nicely with the "Bourne" crew, which also includes the returning Julia Stiles (like Damon, she starred in the first three flicks) and Alicia Vikander. Paul Greengrass, who helmed "The Bourne Supremacy" and "Ultimatum," is also on board for the new flick. Variety reports that production on the new sequel -- which is still untitled -- is expected to begin this summer. The film is due out on July 29, 2016.

| 'Waterworld': 20 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About Kevin Costner's Epic Posted:  It's been two decades, and still, the waves from the tsunami that was "Waterworld" have not receded.Released 20 years ago this week (on July 28, 1995), the post-apocalyptic epic about the survivors of a drowned Earth became known as one of the most bloated flops of all time. That reputation wasn't really fair (the movie eventually broke even), but it was the then-most expensive movie ever made. For a year before the film's release, stories leaked out about the waterlogged production's near-disastrous setbacks and its ego clashes between star Kevin Costner and his hand-picked director, Kevin Reynolds. Punsters were calling the movie "Fishtar" and "Kevin's Gate." By the time "Waterworld" finally came out, its underwhelming reception was a self-fulfilling prophecy. Costner's career as a bankable leading man has never really recovered. In honor of the film turning 20 years old today, here are 20 facts you may not know about "Waterworld." 1. Initially, "Waterworld" was to have been the opposite of a big-budget blockbuster. Peter Rader's original "Waterworld" script, written in the late 1980s, was commissioned by Roger Corman, the legendary B-movie producer of classic sci-fi/exploitation drive-in movies (and more recently, SyFy channel monster mash-up movies). But the company ultimately decided it couldn't make the film for under $3 million, so it sold Rader's script. 2. By the time it landed at Universal as a Kevin Costner vehicle, it was budgeted at $65 million, a figure that would grow to $100 million before cameras rolled -- and $172 million by the time of "Waterworld"'s premiere. 3. David Twohy ("The Fugitive") was hired to polish Rader's script. Before the film's release, some 36 writers would tinker with it, though only Rader and Twohy received credit. 4. One of those uncredited script doctors was Joss Whedon. "The Avengers" filmmaker said he was essentially tasked with putting Costner's own ideas into the screenplay. He called himself "the world's highest-paid stenographer" and called the experience "seven weeks in hell."  5. If "Waterworld" reminds you a lot of the "Mad Max" movies, that's not a coincidence. Both of "Waterworld's" credited screenwriters have acknowledged their story's debt to those two films. And Dean Semler, the cinematographer who shot them both, also shot "Waterworld."5. For action that occurred on the surface of the water, celebrated surfer Laird Hamilton was Kevin Costner's stunt double. 6. Yes, that's a very young Jack Black in a small role as a pilot. "Waterworld" was only his fifth movie. 7. Most of the movie was shot on the ocean, off the coast of Hawaii. You'd think Universal would have known better, given the hurricane-plagued shoot they suffered there two years earlier, with "Jurassic Park." Indeed, a hurricane hit the "Waterworld" set, too. The storm sank the floating Atoll set, which then had to be rebuilt.  8. Early in the shoot, co-stars Jeanne Tripplehorn and Tina Majorino (pictured with Costner) were thrown from The Mariner's boat when the bowsprit snapped off, and they nearly drowned. A team of 12 divers rescued them.9. Norman Howell, the stunt coordinator for the underwater scenes, came up too quickly from a dive and suffered an almost fatal case of "the bends." 10. Costner himself nearly died during a sequence when he was lashed to the mast of his boat. The craft drifted off to sea, and it took nearly half an hour for the rescue team to reach Costner and untie him. 11. "Waterworld" marked the fourth collaboration between Costner and director Reynolds (their previous collaborations were "Fandango," "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves," and "Rapa Nui," which Costner produced but did not star in). Despite their long-standing relationship, Reynolds and Costner clashed over creative decisions. (Reynolds reportedly wanted the hero to be more stoic, while Costner wanted his character to be more swashbuckling. The performance seen in the finished film displays both traits.) 12. During post-production, less than three months before the film's release, Reynolds quit "Waterworld" (some reports had Costner firing Reynolds), and the star finished editing the movie himself. 13. Composer Mark Isham was fired for having created a stark, world music-y score that didn't seem to fit the tone that Costner wanted. At the last minute, James Newton Howard (who had scored Costner's "Wyatt Earp") came aboard and whipped up a traditional orchestral score.  14. All the turmoil had caused the shoot to balloon from a scheduled 96 days to 157 days, and the budget swelled as a result. By the time distribution and marketing costs were added, "Waterworld" had a price tag of $235 million.15. "Waterworld" opened at No. 1 on the box office. Over the course of its theatrical run, it made back $88 million in North America and another $176 million overseas. About half that $264 million worldwide total went back into the studio's pockets. It may have taken until the Blu-ray release in 2009 for the movie to finally break even. 16. Clever accounting on the part of Universal minimized the studio's losses. The movie was in production while Matsushita sold Universal to Seagram. But Seagram made it a condition of the deal that Matsushita hold on to most of the studio's debt, including almost all of the cost of producing "Waterworld." Seagram was on the hook only for the movie's expenditures that occurred after the sale closed in the spring of 1995, which amounted to only about $12 million in post-production costs.  17. At the 1996 Golden Raspberry Awards, "Waterworld" was nominated for four Razzies, including Worst Picture, Worst Actor, and Worst Director. It lost three of the four, but it won Worst Supporting Actor for villain Dennis Hopper.18. "Waterworld" also scored one Oscar nomination, for Best Sound Mixing. 19. Seventeen years later, Costner and Reynolds buried the hatchet and worked together again on the Emmy-winning 2012 History Channel mini-series "Hatfields & McCoys." 20. Fun fact: In June 2015, Tina Majorino tweeted that while shooting the film, she was stung by jellyfish on seven different occasions. These incidents inspired Costner to nickname her "JC," for "Jellyfish Candy." This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Seth Rogen Wrecks Christmas in 'The Night Before' Red Band Trailer Posted:  Just when you thought you'd gotten Miley Cyrus's "Wrecking Ball" out of your head comes the red band trailer for "The Night Before," which uses the song to soundtrack all the mayhem that meets Seth Rogen, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Anthony Mackie on the titular evening before Christmas.It's a fitting juxtaposition, since Rogen in particular comes in like a wrecking ball and basically destroys the holiday, thanks to a combination of drugs, booze, and an epic party that he and his buddies are desperate to attend. "The Night Before" follows lifelong friends Ethan (Gordon-Levitt), Isaac (Rogen), and Chris (Mackie), who have enjoyed an annual night of debauchery for years, but are ending the tradition because everyone is growing up -- for the most part, anyway. They decide to have one last hurrah, and naturally, things don't exactly go according to plan, mostly thanks to Isaac experiencing an insanely bad trip. That leads to lots of hilarity, particularly the scene where Jewish Isaac attends midnight mass with his Christian wife (Jillian Bell), and is weirded out by all the Jesus iconography; later, he wanders into a manger scene and pets the fake sheep, thinking they're dogs. The flick was produced by the same masterminds behind previous Rogen hits like "This Is the End" and "The Interview," and if you liked those films, it looks like you'll enjoy "The Night Before," too. Lots of funny folks co-star, including Lizzy Caplan and Mindy Kaling, and there's even a cameo from Cyrus herself, who belts out her hit with Gordon-Levitt. Check out the trailer below. "The Night Before" hits theaters on November 25. Photo credit: Sony This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

| Diane Keaton Cast as Nun in HBO's 'Young Pope' Posted:  Diane Keaton has found Jesus - in HBO's upcoming "The Young Pope."The cable network announced that the Oscar-winning actress is joining the cast of the drama as Sister Mary, an American nun living in the Vatican City. She'll star opposite Jude Law, who plays Pius XIII, born Lenny Belardo, who is the first American to be elected pope and who becomes the most conservative leader the Catholic Church has ever seen. Sister Mary raised Lenny, helped him get elected, and continues to have power over him. Pius XIII is also described as "a man of great power who's stubbornly resistant to the Vatican courtiers, unconcerned with the implications for his authority." This marks Keaton's first-ever series regular television role. Creator and Oscar winner Paolo Sorrentino ("Great Beauty") will direct all eight episodes of "The Young Pope," which begins filming soon. Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook.

| You Need to Go to This 'Breaking Bad'-Themed Coffee Shop in Istanbul Posted:  If you think you're a big fan of "Breaking Bad," you've got nothing on the people who work at Walter's Coffee Roastery in Istanbul. They've themed their coffee shop after the acclaimed AMC drama down to the last detail.They roast their beans in a lab reminiscent of the one that Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) worked in. They wear bright yellow suits just like the duo did. They even have "blue meth" cupcakes! Walter's opened in March, when it was originally called Heisenberg's Coffee Roastery. Founder Deniz Kosan told Buzzfeed that the theme started out as a joke with his cousin, who bears a resemblance to Cranston. "He looks like Walter White from the TV show and I thought it would be great to create a place where people can work and enjoy fresh roasted and brewed coffee," Kosan said He hopes to expand the concept to the United States and Europe someday. We'll be the ones knocking then! Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Rachel McAdams in Talks to Star in 'Doctor Strange' Posted: The actress is in early talks to join Cumberbatch in "Doctor Strange," as she revealed in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. "It's still super-early days, and I don't know where that's gonna go, if it's gonna go anywhere at all," she said, adding that she's not a "comic book snob." Her quotes are part of an article about her somewhat-unconventional movie career. After major hits like "The Notebook" and "Mean Girls," McAdams was anointed by some as Hollywood's next Julia Roberts. Instead, she's balanced big studio movies like "Sherlock Holmes" with Woody Allen movies ("Midnight in Paris") and small indies ("About Time"). Now, she's currently starring in HBO's "True Detective." If she does jump on board "Doctor Strange," due out in November 2016, the Marvel movie would be an acting showcase. Aside from Cumberbatch, the film already boasts Tilda Swinton and Chiwetel Ejiofor in the cast. "I try to shut out ideas about why you should do things," McAdams said of her career choices. "Trying to do good architecture and really designing a career? There's some attention to be paid to that, but I don't think it's everything." Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook.

| Best of Late Night TV: Tom Cruise's Amazing Lip Sync Battle, 'The Bachelorette' Snapchat Explained Posted:  If you're like us and value your sleep, you probably nodded off into your Ambien dreamland before the party started on post-prime time TV. Don't worry; we've got you covered. Here's the best of what happened last night on late night. Tom Cruise remains one of the world's greatest entertainers, and he proved it Monday night on "The Tonight Show." He and Jimmy Fallon wowed the crowd with two amazing rounds of "Lip Sync Battle," starting with Tom almost rivaling queen Emma Stone (that battle would be close) with The Weeknd's "Can't Feel My Face" and a duet with himself in Meatloaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Light." Jimmy brought his A-game too, of course, and they ended with a two-person duet of "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" -- a nice nod to "Top Gun" -- which was performed as a serenade to an embarrassed/thrilled woman in the audience. In his very smiley sit-down interview, Tom listened to Jimmy tell some kind of vinyl recommendation story and then listened to Jimmy gush about "Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation." Jimmy is always a gusher but he outgushed himself this time. Let the guest talk a bit more, maybe. Tom did discuss getting hit by jet fuel and a little stone while doing that plane stunt and, since they were going at such high speed, the rock struck him hard in his rib. Plus, he also had to train to hold his breath for six minutes (!) for one underwater scene, because they do really long takes in the movie and he always wants to shoot everything practical. "The Bachelorette" couple Kaitlyn Bristowe and Shawn Booth, whose engagement was just shown on last night's finale, were both on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" to explain that Snapchat video that spoiled their own season. Apparently it really was a mistake. They wanted to send it to one of the producers of the show and instead Kaitlyn sent it out. At first, they thought Shawn had done it and Kaitlyn was so mad at him, and then he realized no it was her. Jimmy said ABC was so mad that they even tried to blame him for a bit. But it's not like it hurt the ratings and it was a "happy" ending -- as opposed to the running spoiler at the time -- so no harm, no foul? Kaitlyn and Shawn also swore on a stack of Us Weeklys that they will really get married, or at least be together one year from today, or it will have been a waste of everyone's time and they'll owe Jimmy $1,000. Jimmy and Guillermo also took Kaitlyn shopping for wedding dresses, and you have to watch the video -- if only to see the guys try on bridesmaids' dresses. Boys, you looked beautiful. #nobullying Owen Wilson was also on JKL and talked about going in a less modelish and more "doughy" direction while filming "Zoolander 2" in Italy. Mark Ruffalo, Amy Smart, and Jason Schwartzman were on "The Late Late Show with James Corden" and they played Sardines, which is kind of like Hide and Seek. Reggie Watts had 15 seconds to hide in the studio and James and the guests all had to go find him and hide with him until there was only one left. The loser was not happy to have lost! U.S. soccer star Carli Lloyd was on "Late Night with Seth Meyers" and Seth asked why the women do less diving and flopping than the men. Carli gave a very polite answer, just speaking for how she likes to go after opponents, and discussed the frustrations of playing on turf vs. grass. Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook.
