Happy New Year's Eve everyone! HUGE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS TO END 2012! Just last night, Kanye West announced that he and Kim Kardashian are expecting a baby! Yes, you read right! Kim is pregnant with the couple's first child!

Kanye revealed the news onstage during a show in Atlantic City Sunday night, asking the crowd to
"make some noise" for his "baby mama." Of course, the news spread (and continues to spread) throughout Twitter, even from members of the Kardashian clan as well. Kim's sister, Kourtney Kardashian, said she wanted to "shout from the rooftops with joy," mom Kris Jenner tweeted a  simple, "Oh BABY BABY BABY!" and Kim's younger sister Khloe Kardashian-Odom retweeted her hubby Lamar Odom who said, "I'm excited for Kanye and my sister! There's nothing like bringing life into this world! Let's keep Gods blessings coming!"

The reality star is reportedly 12 weeks along, so she should have the baby around late spring/early summer! It's definitely clear that Kimye Baby Watch will be the main focus for 2013 (maybe even beating out William and Kate?)! Though Kim is technically still married to Kris Humphries, she is moving on with life. I think that she and Kanye are genuinely happy, so why not start a family? I would say Kanye should also put a ring on it, but she kinda has to wait to get the other one legally off first. Congrats to them and the whole Kardashian-Jenner, G.O.O.D. Music clan!

What do you think of Kim and Kanye having a kid?

Can't believe that last night was the last Jerzday ever! I've been watching this show from the very beginning, and, as stupid as many people think it is, I'm gonna miss it! Picking up from last week, The house plans a bonfire party on the beach to say goodbye to the Shore. Vinny and Pauly go get a bunch of wood Vinny pushes the wood all the way to the beach, while Pauly follows him in the truck! The house brings chairs, preps drinks, and finally gets ready to party! With friends and foods, the cast has an amazing time to end their time. Roger and Jionni eventually get there, and give flowers to their girls! The guys play football and Jionni covers Mike who is in "the best shape of his life." However, little short Jionni ends up intercepting the ball from him!


During the bonfire, Sammi talks to her parents about her relationship with Ronnie, and how far they have come. Her mom asks what's next for them, and she tells them that they plan to move in together which brings out laughter from both of her parents. They are both unsure of their relationship, but hope that they can pull through. Ronnie's dad tells him to enjoy it, but is kind of skeptical about everything too. And they have a right to be! Sammi and Ronnie's relationship hasn't exactly been a walk in the park, but hopefully they stick together.

The next day, the house head to the Shore Store for their last shift ever. During their shift, they talk over their memories on the boardwalk and working there. Later, when Jenni and Sam go tanning, they find that Paula left some cakes for Mike for his birthday. Why are you doing this Paula? He don't want you! The girls take it home for Mike, but it's just a little weird that Paula has this planned for him. Pauly jokes that Paula might have poisoned the cakes, but ends up eating a piece with Mike.

That night, after the girls go out, Pauly and Vinny plan to prank Sam for her little stunt locking them out on the balcony a few weeks back. Vinny steals her and Ronnie's air bed, but manages to pop a hole in it! They put it back in their room like nothing happened, but, of course, However, Ronnie tries to inflate the bed and can't because there's a whole in it! But then he gets mad at Sam for pulling a prank on the guys in the first place, which is stupid, but okay.

The next day, Sammi is over the whole thing and plans for Mike and Pauly's birthday. However, Ronnie is still clearly pissed off, and it's super awkward. She's busy making cakes and cookies, and Ronnie feels like she should have apologized to him. For what, I don't exactly know. However, the house goes up to enjoy the Fourth of July fireworks for the birthdays and enjoy themselves.

That night, Sammi and Ronnie have a conversation about the day. Ronnie is upset for something that Sammi had nothing to do with honestly. Pauly and Vinny planned the prank. The rest of the house watch the drama from the living room. Sammi tells him that if he feels that way, they should break up. Ronnie thinks that she should have sucked it up and apologized. For once, Sammi is actually in the right! She's over this whole thing, and walks away, saying good night and that she loves him with no response. However, later, he apologizes and they make up.

The last day, the house plans to GTL for the last time. At the tanning salon, an employee tells Sammi, Ronnie, and Vinny that some dude's balls were on the cake, and they shouldn't have eaten it! She even shows them a picture, which shocks everybody! I mean, who knows what else happened to the cake?! They tell Mike in the car, and he just can't believe that Paula would do that! They tell Pauly at the house, and he's just in shock, gets mad and wants retaliation! Even Deena had a piece, the one time she decides to splurge in the house! I don't care what happens, you don't mess with people's food! Mike calls her up to see what was what, and she acts like she couldn't hear him. It was all fake, and Mike ends up breaking the duck phone! RIP.

That night, the house sits on the deck just sharing memories about their time in the house. Everybody thought what did they get into from the first day!  They bring Snooki's goofiness and isolation from the beginning, and a dude punching her in the face, which actually ended up bringing them closer! And Deena's entrance in the house and getting naked in front of Mike the first night! And the time when Pauly and Jenni used to flirt, and then she revealed she had a boyfriend! I forgot about some of this! It's clear that Jersey Shore has impacted them in a way that nobody will ever get, and they are a family for life.

The next day, Pauly wakes them up with a nice bang, banginig pots and pans to get everybody up, even next door at Snooki's! Mike and Jenni make breakfast for them all. It's very emotional for them clearly. After breakfast, they start the packing process for the last time. They leave every summer, but this time they're not coming back. After they load up their cars, they stand together in the front of the house and cry and hug together, and then go their separate ways. All good things must come to end, but we all know that we will see them plenty in the future! Shoot Snooki and Jenni's show comes back in a couple of weeks! No word if Pauly's spinoff is coming back, but Vinny has his own show where he's bringing celebrities over to his family house to talk, eat, and chill! I will definitely miss Jersey Shore, but excited to see what happens with the cast in the future.

Finally, the Final Challenge for Battle of the Seasons! Picking up from last week, after weeks of challenges, the final teams (San Diego, Brooklyn, and the two-member team of Las Vegas) start the final by jumping out of a plane! It's definitely adrenaline-pumping! All of the teams have to run to a checkpoint, and already Devyn and Sam are struggling to run. Of course, everybody's yelling at their slowest members, because it's not a great way to start for any of them.

The first checkpoint is to align numbers on rocks in a grid so that, when added in every direction, you will always get the number 15. The time limit is 20 minutes. San Diego and Vegas struggle to Brooklyn is last to get into the puzzle, but the puzzle puts them ahead! They run to a helicopter where they race on in first place! San Diego finally got it, placing in second. Las Vegas' time runs out, putting them into third.

The second checkpoint is Rung Out, where you have to toss a ring on a hook. If you miss you have to take a shot of hot, nasty camel's milk. It's harder than it looks! Sarah finally gets it for Team Brooklyn, and they run off. Zach gets it for San Diego, which leaves Vegas to figure it out for themselves. Devyn struggles to run which slows their team down. You're really only as strong as your weakest player, and it's clear that Devyn is messing up Brooklyn's pace. Trishelle and Dustin finally get past Rung Out, but are so far behind

The next checkpoint, Get Tired, requires the teams to build a structure with pipes and ropes to move eight tires (four for the two members of Vegas). Brooklyn takes off with their tires by rolling them on the ground, but San Diego put them on their backs which puts the team right on Brooklyn's heels! San Diego eventually passes them. Trishelle, of course, struggles
Come to find out, the smartest team of the bunch, Brooklyn, was carrying an extra tire! Vegas eventually passes them, putting them in last place. The teams all eventually get to their helicopters where they are flown to the next part of the challenge. It's more running for them to the next check point, but this time it's across sand dunes!

After a long day in the desert, the teams are finished for the night, and get a chance to rest. Only catch is that one person gets to sleep at a time, while the other members stand inside a box holding a leash for a camel. You get a one minute penalty if you step outside the box. While playing tic tac toe in the sand, Devyn's foot accidentally goes over the line, but everybody's so cold, tired, and delirious, they don't even care!

The next morning, TJ rolls through on a four-wheeler to introduce the next day. San Diego gets an 11-minute head start, Vegas gets a 6-minute head start, and Brooklyn gets left in the dust. However, Sam is so slow, there's a chance that the other teams can catch up. The next checkpoint, Hallucination Nation, requires the teams to find numerical values from letters in a list of words to unlock a safe. San Diego has a decent lead, but Vegas is right behind them. Brooklyn is still in third.

In the next point, Sand Shift, the teams use sieves to put sand into their sieves. Sand is blowing everywhere, which makes it hard. Devyn is literally dead in this challenge, so Brooklyn might as well be out. Suddenly, Trishelle and Dustin get a fire under them to race San Diego to the top of a dune. Frank ends up pushing Sam causing her to fall, which pisses her off. However, the thought of $250,000 gets her back on track. San Diego ends up getting to the pole first, which makes me mad a little bit, because they irritated me the whole season, but they killed it, so I can't hate. Trishelle and Dustin wins second place, getting $50,000 for Team Vegas. Brooklyn comes in third, winning $40,000 for their team. Though I wanted and pegged them to win, it's still great that they finished together. Overall, it was a crazy Challenge this season. Just hope that MTV gets a few more veterans for next season!

The final season of Jersey Shore is almost over (*tears*). Picking up from last episode, Roger calls Jenni and tells her that Jionni told him about the guys in the house hanging out with him the night. All the boys apparently pointed the finger at Jenni about her talking about Jionni not being around for Snooki. It causes a quick ruckus with the boys and Jenni, but it's all just he said/she said. She calls Jionni and gets his version and finds out how bad her talking about him offended him. Jionni had been up there a lot to see Snooki apparently without any of them them knowing! Jenni apologizes to him, and they quickly get over the drama.


Later, Mike reveals that he was a stripper through college. The house wants him to show them what he's got sometime before they leave! That night, the house gets ready to go out to Karma. Paula comes out too, wearing a skin right dress perhaps to impress Mike and show him what he's missing! A girl comes up to him and basically invites him to have sex with her, which, of course, Mike is down with. However, Paula sees it and spazzes out on him! She needs to let it go! If a man wants to be with you, he'll be with you. If not, oh well! Move on with your life. Mike goes on about his business and finds another girl. Mike is on high alert with Paula right around the corner. She comes around the corner out of nowhere, making it awkward for Mike. He decides to bring the girl home anyway, but she is obviously sloppy wasted, and Mike sends her on her way. Meanwhile, Pauly goes to his room to get in it in really quick with some girl, and ends up exchanging numbers with her.

The next day, Snooki comes over to hold auditions for Deena's new Meatball. They go to get toys for their auditions and prizes for their winner! They comes up with rules and head to EJ's to ask people to audition, where they find girls crazy enough to do all this stuff! They take tequila shots, as well as body shots off an old man, and wand people and say "MERP!" It's all very hilarious! They end up picking three final girls to be Meatballs for Deena! Meanwhile, Sammi and Ronnie go out on a little date to spend time together. Finally, they're able to truly connect without all this fighting! They plan to move in together, which will be interesting for them. Sammi even talks about having kids! They go to play mini golf and are very competitive with each other. Overall, it was a nice little date, and it's good to see them actually growing up and being a good couple.

Back on the boardwalk, Deena decides to bring home all the Meatballs she picked up. It's all so crazy. Pauly is a little annoyed since it is their last weekend at the house together, and he wants them to just party together. Jenni is irritated too that these Meatballs are using her stuff to get ready! Then there's this Scottish girl that is just off the wall! Finding random Meatballs on the boardwalk may not have been a great thing. Everyone heads out to Merge together. Deena's fake Meatballs eventually go home, which the rest of the house is overjoyed about. They have the best time together for their final weekend at the Jersey Shore!

The next morning, the roommates talk about what to do for their final days at the Shore. It's good to see them all just enjoying themselves. Ron and Sam cook a last Sunday dinner for everyone. Mike plans to do a little strip routine and practices with the guys. He comes up with a ghetto boxer routine with his name being Vito Dorado. The guys do the works on the house, bringing out a smoke machine, Pauly getting on the turntables, and Ron even bringing out handcuffs for Jenni! Pauly announces "Vito," who then does a NUMBER on Jenni! The house plays along throwing fake money at him! Overall, one of the funniest moments of Jersey Shore history!

The SERIES FINALE of Jersey Shore will air this Thursday at 10 p.m. ET followed immediately by the LIVE reunion so be sure to check it out!

I apologize for the serious delay in these recaps! A lot of things going on last week, but here is the recap for last week's episode of Battle of the Seasons (Jersey Shore one will be up soon too).

Picking up from last episode, the remaining four teams (Vegas, Cancun, San Diego and Brooklyn) leaves Turkey behind and heads to Namibia, Africa, to fight to keep their spot in the finale! Two people are for sure going home, so the teams are definitely nervous! The house in Africa is SICK! Later, they all get a clue from TJ saying: "Tomorrow's your last shot to make it into the final! Good luck!" The challenge is definitely important for Brooklyn to win because they know they will be thrown into the Arena if they don't, since Cancun and San Diego are in alliance with each other).


The next day, the teams play "Sling Shot." The game is complete with a four-wheeler, a ramp, and of course, water. The teams all have to assign a driver and a jumper (teams of four will assign two to go twice). The driver will take off with the jumper in tow, who will then be launched off of the ramp into the water, and swim as fast as they can to the dock to ring a bell. Then the jumper will swim back in to swim to shore and cross the finish line. With the teams of four, their times will be averaged.

Vegas surprisingly kills it first, setting the tone for the other competitors. Dustin is extremely winded and sick from swimming, so it's probably going to be harder than anyone thought! It's definitely not the easiest challenge. San Diego's four-wheeler stalls, which makes it a farther swim for Frank, unfortunately. The team that lost with a trip right into the Arena is Cancun, with San Diego falling not too far in front of them. The Power Team going into the finals is Las Vegas, which nobody expected! They win their first challenge, and the most important one to win at that!

The high from Trishelle and Dustin's win is short-lived, however, when TJ makes them pick the second team to head in right there on the spot! No surprise, they pick San Diego to go against Cancun, and pick them to play Strategy. With that decision, Brooklyn also makes it into the finals! It's a great way to break up the Arena. It's clear that Frank and Ashley need to prove themselves in the Arena, so they will most likely be going in. Back at the house, Sam makes fun of Frank's major fail at the Challenge, which, of course, pisses him off.

Surprisingly, Sarah gives Jonna advice for the Arena, hoping that Cancun will send two members of San Diego home so that Brooklyn will be the only team left with four people. Jonna and Derek face Ashley and Frank in "Knot So Fast" for the final Arena. Instead of there being domes, the challenge uses pyramids. First, the teams will tangle their pyramid with rope as best as they can, and then switch pyramids to solve the other team's. It sucks for Zach to watch because he's a part of Team San Diego, but still has feelings for Jonna and wants her to do well too. Vegas and Brooklyn of course are yelling advice at Cancun so they can send home Frank and Ashley. However, San Diego pull it out, sending Jonna and Derek home. TJ congratulates the remaining teams of gaining their spots in the finals.

Back at the house, the teams get new gear for the finals the next day, showing that this challenge is going to be a tough one! Trishelle and Chet talk about their team's weaknesses, and contemplate what will happen in the Challenge. Everyone's nervous, because there's no telling what will happen! The next day, the teams all head out to the desert. There's four planes and three helicopters up ahead, which puts everyone into suspense about what they're getting into! TJ introduces the challengetelling them them that they will be jumping out of those planes from 10,000 feet to start things off, exciting some team members and terrifying others! They will all have to dig deep to make it to the finish line to win any money!

By now, everyone knows of the tragedy that happened in Newtown, Connecticut. A shooting spree by a mentally ill gunman happened at Sandy Hook Elementary School, killing 20 children (ages range from 5-10, though no names have yet been released) as well as 6 adults (including the school principal and psychologist). The gunman also killed his mother beforehand, and apparently took his own life. More details are forthcoming.

I have been struggling with this all day yesterday and now. Even as I type, I am flipping channels to hear more on this tragedy. Forgive me for not getting up the recap posts that I needed to. They will be up hopefully later today, but this is far more important to me right now. Prayers go up to the families of these victims, especially these 20 little babies, as well as the people of Newtown who are struggling to come to grips with this. Prayers to President Obama, Congress, and our other officials who need to take ACTION on developing some type of stricter plan on gun control in this country. This world is highly unpredictable. Shocked, disgusted, and saddened.
I've been blessed to do many spotlights of upcoming artists, producers, designers, etc.,  since the blog started, and will always continue to do so! (Email me for your feature!)

Excited to introduce you all to another great artist! Rapper Hollywood calls his hometown of Brooklyn the "recipe" to his music and life, repping his city to the fullest! He got his start in music at a young age, participating in his school choir, singing for a few groups, and even had a role in A Christmas Carol on Broadway! However, he started getting serious about rapping in about ninth or tenth grade, eventually getting into battling. "Older dudes on my block used to rhyme, and one day, a few of us younger cats were just sucked in," the rapper says. "We chose sides and joined the battles." He battled everyone anywhere from the lunchroom between classes to around his block. "Guess once I started, I just couldn't stop," Hollywood laughs.

Hollywood eventually took his music to the next level, developing East Brook Familia in 2010 to promote his career as well as the careers of several rising artists. The group is made up of close friends of his that have been together since childhood. "As part of a graduation requirement, I had to make a business plan, so I used us," Hollywood says. (The rapper holds a bachelor of science degree from Hampton University, and a master's degree in Business Administration from the Metropolitan College of New York. Everybody should have a Plan B). "A group of dudes pushing to promote what we feel is real rap, [but] nowadays EBF is more than just us. All of our supporters are part of the family." he claims.

Inspired by classic and timeless rappers like Biggie, Jay-Z, Fabolous, and Lupe, Hollywood released his first mixtape, 24:7, in November 2010, which was seemingly effortless from the rapper. "There wasn't really any thought process behind it. I had a bunch of random tracks on my laptop. I picked my favorite seven, came up with a mixtape name, cover art, and there you go!" he admitted.



However, his upcoming mixtape,  HBO Vol. 1: My Eastside Story, is completely different. With "HBO" standing for Hollywood's Brooklynz Own, the mixtape will show growth from 24:7. "I wanted this mixtape to be a story, a movie," Hollywood says of the project. "My goal was for everything from the track names to the transitions from track to track to have a movie feel." The mixtape, the first of a three part series, was recorded at Hall of Fame Studios, the studio were Jam Master Jay was killed back in 2002. Audio engineer Teardropz worked with the rapper on the entire project, giving it a better sound with better equipment than 24:7, Hollywood admits. While there's no vocal features, two tracks ("Who I Be" and "Dutchess and Hennessy") features the talent of musician Lawrence "Strings" Williams, who plays bass and electric guitar on the songs. EBF, of course, has been crucial in this upcoming release, promoting it heavily (A listening party is set for December 21 at Hall of Fame Studios on Merrick and Jamaica Ave. in Queens from 8 p.m. to midnight. If you're in the NY area or can make it up there, definitely check it out!)


In terms of his next steps for a career, Hollywood plans to get on the road, and wants to get into college tours with EBF. What does he think separates him from other rappers? He unapologetically does him, and is not the typical rapper one might expect. "I rap. I'm educated. I smoke weed. I sing in church. I love God. I love music," Hollywood claims. "This is me. I'm comfortable with it." He is clearly using the gifts God gave him to create incredible music for listeners!

You can tell from listening to even one of his songs that Hollywood is not only talented, but HUNGRY for this. I stress hunger in this industry because sometimes it's seriously lacking and you can tell through an artist's lyrics, promotion, and overall growth (or lack thereof). We at JWWWD support him because he's like us: he does and says exactly what he wants with his music. So check him out and support! Hollywood is definitely going to be an artist around for a while!

You can connect with Hollywood on his official website, EBF's website, Facebook, Twitter, Soundcloud, and YouTube! And be sure to check out his mixtape, available now! 

Can't believe that the cast of Jersey Shore is about to close the Shore House down for good! Just a few more episodes left! Picking up from last week, at Snooki's baby shower, Vinny goes outside to talk to Jionni man to man about their issues. Jionni has forgiven Vinny for hooking up with Snooki a day after their breakup, but doesn't like the "I'm the father" jokes that Vinny has made in the past. Vinny sincerely apologizes, and Jionni has more respect for him now that they had that talk. And now Vinny gets an invite to the wedding!

When the guys come back in, the guests play baby games and opens up all of the gifts for Snooki. During the shower, Jenni tells Jionni that he better come around more often for his pregnant fiancee  and take care of her. Snooki is so happy about the whole shower, but when Mike tries to talk to her, of course, she gives him the cold shoulder. He knows that eventually he will have to man up and talk to her about the problem.


The next morning, Mike reflects on his past problems with Snooki, and decides it's time to apologize for the things he said to Jionni and to her. He heads to her house to talk to her, and she lets him in, wanting to hear his story. He expresses his deepest apologies. However, Snooki finds it very hard to forgive him because he hurt their friendship and embarrassed Jionni and Snooki as a couple. He wants to save their friendship, because they're so close in character, and have had a lot of good times together. However, it's a lot of damage done. Snooks accepts his apology. Overall, a pretty good talk for people who haven't in over a year, but it's hard to say if there will ever be a friendship like before.

Sammi locks the guys out on the balcony while they're out talking. The guys plan to jump into pillows, right when Sam unlocks the door. Of course, the guys plan to retaliate secretly!

Later, Ronnie, Mike, and Pauly go GTL. It's kind of awkward because Paula works there still. She leaves Mike a little note. Back at the house, Vinny reads the note out loud to the house. It's clear that writing isn't exactly fundamental to her, but she admits that she misses him, and doesn't want him to give up on her. The note actually kind of touches Mike. The biggest surprise of all? Snooki is actually sitting next to him, and participating in the conversation! She's letting go of the anger towards him, realizing that he's a better person now.

That night, the house plans to go out to Aztec while Vinny, who's sick, and Snooki plan to just hang out together. Jenni stays home and goes straight to bed. Snooki and Vinny go out on their scooters and do old people impressions. Meanwhile, Mike struggles to maintain his sobriety at the bar. Paula comes, and tries to get him to hold a drink for a second, which really pisses Mike off. Paula gets annoyed and walks away, but Mike had a right to be upset. You don't give a drink to somebody who's trying to stay sober, not even for a second!  Mike continues to talk to girls while Paula awkwardly stares on. She even come up to him in the middle of a conversation yet again, which shows Mike that they probably won't be together again any time soon! A little later, Vinny and Snooki ride the scooters into the club for a quick appearance (best entrance ever!), but quickly head home. When they leave, some dude calls Snooki fat on the boardwalk, which prompts Vinny to back his scooter up and yell at the dude! I swear, people hate on this cast TOO much. It's a reality show. It's supposed to be stupid and crazy. It's entertainment!

The next day, Snooki calls up a psychic Zen Jen and calls her to prank Deena! Before though, the girls go with Snooki and Jionni to a sonogram to see little Lorenzo! He's so cute, just a little meatball! They notice that, for a baby, he's has a pretty big penis, and is even giving the middle finger in the womb! Everyone gets a laugh from that, but afterwards, Jionni is defensive when it comes to Jenni's statement at the baby shower of him not coming around enough. It's clear that that comment started a little bit of tension between them, but hey, Jenni's just looking out for her friend!

Back at the house, Pauly and Vinny plan to have a guys' night and include Jionni to get to know him better, and what his intentions are for Snooki and their baby! Snooki questions their intentions and tells them to be nice to him! The girls have their own night together. Zen Jen comes in to "bless the house," to prank Deena, who is afraid of ghosts and the supernatural. Zen Jen walks around to "feel the energy," and says she feels chills like there's a ghost in the house, even going as far to say that the ghost hangs near Deena's bed! She is definitely freaked out now!

At their get together, the guys welcome Jionni into the fold, though it's still awkward since both Vinny and Mike have hooked up with Snooki in the past. Jionni talks about his closeness with his family, and the expansion of his ATM business, which will take care of Nicole and the baby. He then starts to talk about Italy. Of course, Jionni is irritated about Mike telling him that he had sex with Nicole, but Snooki told him about the conversation they had and Mike apologizes to him. Again, Jionni gets defensive when the guys bring up him visiting Snooki more, but vows to try his best while still balancing work. In the end though, it was a good gathering, and the guys, even Mike, snag an invite to Jionni's bachelor party! That's a miracle from up above!

Only TWO (tear) more episodes of Jersey Shore EVER! Check out an all new episode next Thursday at 10 p.m. ET only on MTV!
Battle of the Seasons is starting to get REALLY crazy! Picking up from last week, Dustin has planned to quit after Nany and Alton were eliminated at the Arena. The next morning, Chet tries to talk him out of it, and when Dustin thinks things through, he decides to stay to fight for Team Vegas. Meanwhile, Brooklyn plans to gun for Cancun and know that they need to win the next Challenge in order to stay out of the Arena.

The next day's Challenge is called "Force Field." Two team members will share a huge inner tube in girls' and boys' heats (unless you're only a team of two, then you're by yourself!) The object of the game is to push people off the platform into the water. There is a point system: The 1st team out will receive no points. The 2nd team will get 20 points. 3rd will get 40, 4th will get 60, and the last team standing will get 80 points. If you fall down three times, you'll be disqualified.


In the girls' heat, Marie works with Brooklyn to get Vegas, Cancun and San Diego out! Sarah and Devyn end up winning for Team Brooklyn! In the boys' heat, Chet and JD falls three times disqualifying them from the game, which basically screws up the girls' win for Brooklyn moments before. Zach and Frank are the last team standing, automatically winning the Power Team for San Diego. Vegas heads straight to the Arena after coming in last place with points.

Back at the house, San Diego deliberates who they want to send in to face Vegas. It's abundantly clear that overall, this team doesn't think with their head at all. Sam and Zach want to send in St. Thomas, purely based off the fight that happened last week with Marie accidentally pushing Sam down. Because Frank is friends with Marie, he suggests picking the team that could take Vegas out, which could be Brooklyn. San Diego goes out to talk to Brooklyn and St. Thomas. Marie gets irritated really quick because she realizes that they're all just pawns in San Diego's minds right now.

At deliberation, San Diego chooses St. Thomas to go in against Vegas. They also choose Mental which wasn't the game that St. Thomas wanted to do. It's all stupid because if San Diego was thinking STRATEGICALLY, they would have put Brooklyn up and possibly break up their team. That would leave San Diego as being the only team left with four people, which would be a HUGE advantage to them. But that's okay! Leave my favorite team to make it to the final!

That night, the house go out to party, and Marie is over emotional on the bus. It's a little irritating, because this IS a game, and, at the end of the day, everyone is going to do what they think is best for their team and themselves. We can be friends, but I'm ultimately here for my team and to make some money. Marie GOES OFF on Frank and says that she doesn't want to be friends with him. It's just an extremely sour night. Marie continues to go off on the bus with Robb having to restrain her. Back at the house, Marie gets in Sam's face. She turns quickly to JD which gets Robb into it again. They both were just over emotional about the entire thing. It's a competition people!

That night, Vegas and St. Thomas go head to head in "Water Torture." Though Robb and Marie give it their all, ultimately, Dustin and Trishelle win the game!

Beyoncé recently revealed that fans will be able to catch an intimate look behind her life in an upcoming HBO documentary, and has dropped the teaser for the film!

The feature-length film, debuting Feb. 16, 2013, will show BeyoncĂ© at her performances, in the studio, at home, and even gives an up-close shot of BeyoncĂ©'s baby bump when she was pregnant with daughter Blue Ivy! “HBO has a history of pushing every boundary with class and authenticity,” said she said of the film. “Some of my favorite shows are on HBO, so I am excited that my film will be part of its bold programming. This film was so personal to me, it had to have the right home.”

See the teaser below!


As a proud member of the BeyHive, of course, I'm beyond excited! Since she was with Destiny's Child, Beyoncé has notoriously been a very private artist. It was a smart move to keep private matters private, but fans always want to know as much as they can about their favorite artists! For her to be coming out with this movie is MAJOR. This film is definitely one to watch for in the entertainment biz!


Official news from the St. James Palace! Kate Middleton and Prince William are expecting a baby!!!

Though rumored for a few days now, the news was officially announced today by the palace. "Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Cambridge is expecting a baby," the palace said in a statement. "The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry and members of both families are delighted with the news." The statement continued: "As the pregnancy is in its very early stages, Her Royal Highness is expected to stay in hospital for several days and will require a period of rest thereafter." The duchess was admitted to King Edward VII Hospital today in central London with hyperemesis gravidarum, an acute morning sickness which requires supplementary hydration and nutrients.

Apparently, the child, whether boy or girl, will eventually be heir to the British throne according to new legislation awaiting final approval.  The baby will also be the queen's third great-grandchild.

Congrats to the Royal Family!!!
