Online Previews The Secret Life of the American Teenager 5x2 Shotgun

Ever since Grace Bowman locked lips with Adrian Lee, she's been acting super weird — skipping school, avoiding her friends.Free Download Video The Secret Life of the American Teenager 17th June 2012 Episode On ABC Family Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video. Online Watch The Secret Life of the American Teenager Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV. Ricky may have broken up last week, but now that they’re back together, Amy wants what all normal teenagers want: A big-ass white wedding! Clearly she’s been following Kim Kardashian’s life a little too closely.Since Amy’s original plan of proposing to Ricky was a huge, awkward failure, she decides to trick Ricky into proposing to her instead! Amy heads over to Madison’s to dish about her plans, which basically involve pampering her man so much that he’ll put a ring on it. You’d think that Amy would treat Ricky to a diet of raw hamburger and shower sex (a stud’s fave!), but no — she buys him a chocolate shake and runs him a bath. Lady, the man wants meat!Meanwhile, Ricky spends quality time with Baby John and tells him a bedtime story about... child abuse, drugs, and alcohol. Yes, Ricky is recounting the tragic story of his life to his two-year-old, which culminates in him busting out an engagement ring and telling John he’s going to make an honest woman out of Amy at graduation! We’re so excited, we’re so excited, we’re so scared. For Baby John.Ricky knows Amy’s trying to get herself engaged, so he decides to have a little fun and pretends that he doesn’t want to get married for five whole years. It’s like this boy hasn’t seen an episode of Friends in his life. You don’t throw someone off the scent, or else they get mad at you and hook up with Tom Selleck.Ricky telling John the storybook version of his life and asking if he should propose to mommy had to be one of the cutest things I've ever seen. I'm really hoping that this proposal goes down and Adrian doesn't sabotage it. I know she's unhappy and vulnerable and pissed that Dante didn't call (I'm pissed at him, too!), so I'm not going to give her a hard time.

I was glad to see her at least channel some positive energy from her pain and try to graduation on time.

Speaking of graduation, since when do you need a date? Grace, watch who you call desperate girl. Instead of saying it to your best friend, perhaps you should be saying it to your ex-boyfriend. For Pete's sake, Jack asked you and your boyfriend on a three-way date just so he wouldn't be alone on graduation!

By the way, Daniel, way to show how much older and mature you are when you told your girlfriend she has to choose between her friends and you. Hi, she's a girl in high school. Get real.

From immature to mature, Madison, I am just loving this transformation! The character is suddenly far wiser and less whinier and I'm totally down with it. Lauren needs to ditch Jesse, who only wants to get her into bed - and she and Madison need to team up for some sort of girl power, Thelma and Louise-type of adventure. Just no cliffs!


A downcast Adrian is miserable about Dante not calling her back after their game of “Find the Tattoo,” and that’s the last straw — this girl has had enough go wrong in her life! She heads over to the guidance counselor’s office and manages to land herself a seat at graduation with the rest of her class. Score!

After school, Adrian goes to Dante’s apartment to confront him about not calling her, but she’s surprised to find his brother, Omar, instead! Omar tells Adrian that Dante skipped town to backpack across Europe, but it doesn’t seem like she’s too worried. Watch out, Omar: Adrian’s on the prowl.

It looks like Adrian and Dante’s relationship isn’t the only one on the rocks in Secret Life Land. Ben and his besties Henry and Alice (aka The Cutest Couple Ever!) chat about their post-high school futures, and Henry and Alice realize that they might have to break up after graduation! You see, Alice is a straight A student destined for greatness, but Henry might not have the SAT scores to follow her. Are we the only ones who see an obvious solution to this problem? They should get pregnant and have a baby, duh! (We kid, we kid.)

Henry realizes that time apart from Alice might be just what he needs, so he accidentally breaks up with her while they’re having a talk about Henry’s sex guilt. This boy might pretend to be all broken hearted, but we all know he just wants to bang other ladies.

Tune in to an all new Secret Life next Monday to find out what happens to Henry and Alice — and who knows? Maybe Ricky will finally propose!Ricky realizes that the last time Amy was a teenager was that first night at band camp when they had sex. She made an adult decision at 15 years old that she wasn't ready for and thus came an adult consequence. Amy had to grow up very quickly and even though she has accepted the responsibilities, there are certainly times you can tell she just wants to bust loose and be a kid.

His idea to take her back to the spot they first met to have an honest conversation was great. He's right that you can't change the past, but you can change how you approach stuff in the future.

I have to agree with Lauren, though, that Amy's attitude sucks and it's contagious. Nobody wants to be around a Debbie Downer all the time. Especially Lauren, who needs some cheering up this summer.

It's nice to see someone on this show maturing for a change. I'm proud of Lauren for deciding to let go of her anger towards Jesse and Lauren because it's NOT an easy thing to do. However, I also agree with her decision to honestly say she doesn't think she can take her back as a best friend. Some betrayal just changes the fabric of a friendship.

Grace was acting pretty childish but I also think having a sibling sprung on you is probably pretty crazy. I guess the important thing to remember is that it's not like Jacob chose to be born to an adulterer. I'll go easy on her in this case, but she needs to stop teasing Jack the way she does. Walking around in your bra because you can't find the thermostat? Please, like I believe that.

Jack needs new friends, stat. Ben also needs better taste in girls, because I'm still really not feeling Dylan or her family. Sorry to say, but no. I'm glad Leo is laying down the law in the best way he can see fit. I'm not really sure what Dylan and her friends consider "poor clothes" to be, considering they are cheesy as hell and have no style. Then again lots of girls are shallow and petty, especially in high school.

Also, it is nearly impossible to look good in a heat wave! Every seemed to be affected negatively by the weather. Everyone except for Ricky. who must be doing some sort of yoga and meditation on the sly to put up with everything with a smile this season.

Online Previews Teen Wolf 2x4 Abomination

I would be remiss if I didn’t take a moment to talk about how Allison’s mom confirmed that the forbidden lovers were still secretly seeing each other. Free Download Video Teen Wolf 17th June 2012 Episode On MTV  Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video. Online Watch Teen Wolf Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV.At school they apparently have a climbing wall and Allison and Scott are doing flirting/racing/banter thing. Next up is Stiles who is fine and Erica who panics half way up. Lydia gets to be a Mean Girl and remind us all that she’s very intelligent, Allison is concerned because Erica is epileptic… I’m not sure how relevant that is. She jumps down, her classmates mock her but Scott looks on in concern. Everyone goes to the changing room – the coach tells everyone to keep an eye out for Isaac (who is still suspected for the murder of his father) and Stiles and Scott dismiss it as Derek’s problem – which is overheard by Jackson who’s probably not best pleased that there’s another werewolf when he couldn’t change. And Erica returns to the climbing wall alone, without mats or safety harness. She starts to fit half-way up and Scott, in the changing room starts shaking. She falls but he is there to catch her. He sensed it before it happened.Erica ends up in hospital, talking to the snarking the nurse (Scott’s mother, Melissa) and then Derek takes her, medical trolley and all. She doesn’t’ seem overly panicked about this, nor does anyone else in the hospital. What, can you just come in an pick a patient to take for a ride? She does start to worry when he takes her to the morgue. Derek has a deal for her – he can make her epilepsy go away, the seizures, the need to take pills – and make her stronger, faster, better than before. Yes, he’s still on a recruitment drive for new werewolves.

Jackson  and Mike are in a class watching a video explaining what vaccination is (really? They’re at least 16, and they’re just now studying vaccines? Maybe the school should spend less money on climbing walls and more on the science classes). Which seems to make him think about why he didn’t turn into a werewolf (he had been clawed in series 1). And Matt is irritated by his broken camera. Jackson is also irritated by Lydia and accost her after the class demanding to see her bite mark and questioning why nothing happened to her. He blames his own inability to become a werewolf on her, leaving her a sobbing wreck. Can something please eat Jackson now – here lizard lizard lizard.


Allison opens this episode of Teen Wolf by pumping gas. I know, not the most dramatic of beginnings. Fortunately, there are lightning strikes in the distance and a mysteriously smiling motorcyclist to spice things up. Just as Allison begins to get creeped out by the lack of anything happening, the lights go out.

Allison decides she has enough gas now. And, since this is one of those special gas stations where no one has to pay, she hops into her car. But her keys are gone! Allison exits the vehicle in order to look fearfully in every direction. No one is there.

No one, that is, except whoever manages to sneak up behind her with a burlap sack.

A justifiably freaked-out Allison next finds herself in a very rundown room, bound and gagged and seated across from her equally restrained father. A disembodied and scary (and possibly auto-tuned) voice informs the captives that werewolves are dangerous and stuff.

The disembodied and scary voice becomes suddenly less scary (although still disembodied) when a Hunter henchman shows up with a smart-phone. Is Siri the leader of the Hunters? This explains so much...

Mr. Argent quickly breaks through his restraints and informs Allison that this is punishment for her little arrow-shooting spree in defense of Isaac. And it is heavily implied that Allison's darling, psychotic mother is the actual inventor of such a punishment. Shocker.

With a kiss on the head, Mr. Argent hands his daughter an arrow and leaves her to free herself. Thus ends this creative moment of father-daughter time.
Allison and Lydia are at Allison’s house and Daddy Argent is happy – he wants her to be friends with Lydia so she can spy on Lydia and see if she’s a werewolf. Allison why are you joining in the Argent murder agenda?

Stiles, Lydia, Scott and Allison go to the deserted ice rink after hours (presumably what the keys were for) and Stiles continues to try and attract Lydia. Scott finds his werewolfness doesn’t replace being able to skate and Lydia is a completely stunning expert. And romantic photos are ruined by Scott’s eyes reflecting light (nice touch, I have to say). Unfortunately the cutesy scene is interrupted by Lydia following a trail of flowers to where she sees the old Alpha trapped under the ice – she appears to be hallucinating.

Scott confronts Erica in school the next day, believing that there has to be another chosen because Derek needs 3 werewolves – Erica points out that they count Scott as one of the number. And also makes it clear how much she loathed being epileptic. She also flirts with Scott – and Allison sees (can we stop having these hints of ridiculous teen drama, please? We have a plot line, we don’t need relationship angst).

Speaking of drama – Mummy Argent finds a love note from Scott and decides to slice her arm so she can go to hospital and be treated by Melissa (Scott’s mother) so she can question her about whether Scott is suitably heartbroken or not over Allison.

Thankfully Scott and Allison meet up over lunch and Allison is more concerned about him being dragged into Derek’s pack than any jealousy  - especially with her murderous family planning war. She just wants Scott to live (then how about stopping your murderous family, Allison? Rather than training with them?) But then Stiles notices that Boyd’s table is missing – and they assume he is next on Derek’s recruitment list. Scott wants to intervene but Stiles points out that both Isaac and Erica were given a choice and wanted to change and liked being changed – if Boyd wants the same thing then why should they stop it? It’s not Scott’s responsibility – but Scott is insistent and Stiles goes along with him, even if he does taunt him along the way.

Online Previews Drop Dead Diva 4x3 Freak Show

Adam Harrington and Currie Graham will guest-star on Drop Dead Diva this season, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.Free Download Video Drop Dead Diva 17th June 2012 Episode On Lifetime  Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video. Online Watch Drop Dead Diva Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV.Harrington (The Secret Circle) will appear in the ninth episode as Paul Hewitt, a charming and relentless lawyer for a grieving stepmother who's suing for custody of her dead stepson's cremated ashes. Paul will call a witness whose testimony may derail the entire defense for Jane (Brooke Elliott) and Grayson (Jackson Hurst).What do you all think? Were you upset by the scene in the piano bar? Did you find this week's cases more interesting? Do you think Nikki and Stacey's bakery business is a boring storyline? (I do.) Hit the comments! Previously on Drop Dead Diva: Kim (Kate Levering) pushes for a partnership and her wish is granted when Parker (Josh Stamberg) decides to run off to Chicago to chase down ex-girlfriend Elisa (Brandy Norwood) and their son, who he didn’t know existed until five minutes ago. The kid is seven. I guess Chicago doesn’t have phones or the Internet or proper authorities, and Parker’s strategy is to stalk the young woman and her child until what? He wears her down? Good plan. Stacy (April Bowlby), after treating everyone like crap for weeks, can’t figure out why nobody will come bail her out of jail after she punches her cheating boyfriend/co-star in the face.  Grayson (Jackson Hurst) saves her from doing hard time, and they end up kissing in his office because Grayson thinks Stacy is “so much like Deb.” Jane (Brooke Elliott) sees this and having her best friend make out with the man she was in love with for so long, as Deb and Jane/Deb hybrid, is too much, and she runs off to Italy. Well, why not? Stacy tells Grayson, “I’m not Deb; Jane is,” and three seasons of collective tension explodes across my living room. But wait! Owen (Lex Medlin) joins Jane before the plane takes off and asks if he can join her adventure. Awww, Judge Adorable. He’s so cute. Unbeknownst to them, Grayson is in departures, having tried to board the same flight, but he was just a little too slow. Maybe next season, Grayson.In the following episode, Graham (Raising the Bar, Boston Legal) will appear as Simon Grundy, a lawyer who works with Jane when Deb's mother, Bobbi Dobkins (returning guest star Sharon Lawrence), is sued for a young girl's personal injury in Bobbi's dance studio. Unfortunately, Simon sorely lacks people skills and comes into conflict with Jane on how to handle the case. This episode will also feature Dance Moms' Abby Lee Miller.Harrington and Graham join a slew of previously announced guest stars, including Kim Kardashian, Megyn Price, Patty Duke, Emily Rutherford, John Ratzenberger, Faith Prince and Madchen Amick.

The fourth season of Drop Dead Diva premieres Sunday, June 3 at 9/8c on Lifetime. Missed any episodes of Diva? Catch up on with a mini-marathon beginning Saturday, June 2 at 12/11c.It's always interesting for one of the lawyers to take on a family member as a client. It throws that personal element into the mix that raises the stakes. Kim wasn't interested in seeing her father, but the second his ex employer mouthed off to him, she was on the defense and ready to throw down in court. Blood is thicker than water.

Not wanting to bother Parker with her suit, she took the case on and proceeded with business as usual. Parker ended up getting involved for two reasons:

    He is still missing Elisa (guest star Brandy Norwood) and their son.
    He does love Kim.

These two are so on and off and things got especially confusing when Parker found out that he had a seven-year-old son with his ex, but something always draws Kim and Parker back together.

With a clever realization about home decor, Kim was able to win her case. Elsewhere, Jane and Grayson were defending a teenage millionaire who wanted to file for emancipation but became part of a missing person case. Jane's case took on a lot of moral and ethical issues. Technically yes, Sam was kidnapped, but was it to save his life? Yes. Jane won her case, but in real life would this hold up?

Meanwhile, Grayson was still going strong in his quest to prove that Jane might be a reincarnated version of Deb. Now he's reading books on the subject, and even trying to provoke certain memories. That scene in the piano bar when Grayson had the song from Ghost playing absolutely broke my heart. Not only because that song is a tearjerker (sorry, Jane, I guess I'm sappy, too) but Jane just looked so completely heartbroken.

Sure, Owen is great, but Jane still has lingering feelings for Grayson. Luke is a much stricter guardian angel than Fred was, and I do miss Fred dearly. Deb may have hit the return button, but why is Jane being punished and not allowed to let Grayson know who she is? That scene was just painful.

For those of you new to the show, a brief run-down: Deb, shallow model, engaged to Grayson, hot lawyer. Died in car accident because she was doing her nails. Moron. Same time, super-serious lawyer, Jane, (same firm as Grayson, natch) gets shot and flat-lines. Deb gets to Heaven, says, “Nuh-uh,” hits Reset. Deb’s soul crashes into Jane’s body. Hi-jinks ensue. Only best friend Stacy and Guardian Angel Fred (Ben Feldman) know what’s what.

It’s honestly better than it sounds.

At its core, DDD is about being comfortable in your own skin and trusting the person you’ve allowed yourself to become. It’s about the inevitability of change and compromise while still staying true to who you want to be, while retaining who you need to be, for yourself and the people you love and trust. And Margaret Cho is in it and she is fabulous.

Season four starts three weeks after Jane and Judge Adorable arrive in Italy. They have a surprise guest when Teri (Margaret Cho) shows up, having been dispatched by Kim to bring Jane back to work. Without Parker and Jane and with Kim in charge, the firm is floundering. Shocking, considering when Kim briefly left the firm and hung out her own shingle, she ended up hosting client meetings in a Starbucks. Whatever could go wrong? Bounced paychecks, that’s what.

Things are predictably tense between Jane and Stacy back home. Last thing Jane knew, Stacy was making out with the love of her and Deb’s lives. That’s a hard thing to reconcile, and a pretty crappy thing to do to your best friend. I don’t buy this whole, “But HE kissed ME,” bullshit. You know when a man is coming in to kiss you, and you can gracefully disengage from the situation, or you can be more inventive (Bite his tongue. Lick his nose. Start calling out random names of dogs.) Either way, there’s an out, and it doesn’t involve breaking your best friend’s heart.

Jane, evidently, is a better person than I am, and she is swayed by Dippy’s tears and some Peanut Butter M&M cookies and a flimsy explanation that Grayson only kissed her because he was missing Deb so much. Way to play to her ego, Stace. Nicely done.

Grayson isn’t quite buying the reason Stacy gives him for blurting out that Jane was, in fact, Deb. She says that Deb used to be her best friend and now Jane is, so that’s all she meant. Tee hee! Dippy. Later on, he does a little sleuthing and discovers that Deb died the same day Jane was shot. Most people would simply think, “Huh. Weird.” And go on with their day, but then we wouldn’t have the miracle that is television, would we?

What the hell is Kim Kardashian doing on my show? Just about ruining it, that’s what. It’s not like they haven’t done stunt casting on DDD before. I was amazed at how much I loved Paula Abdul’s spots. But what fresh hell is this? And oh, God, Stacy just took her phone. It looks like she’ll be back next week.

Ah well, so will I. Fred goes back to Heaven after confessing his identity to Stacy, so there’s a new angel to meet. Kim’s a great lawyer but awful accountant so I want to see how deeply in debt she buries the firm. And Judge Adorable has some serious competition for Jane’s attention. After three seasons of pining for Grayson, I’m interested to see how this plays out.

Online Previews The Real Housewives of New Jersey 4x8 Best Friends for Never

In this week's episode, the focus was on a wedding in Chicago - a wedding of a Manzo relative to his longtime boyfriend.Free Download Video The Real Housewives of New Jersey 17th June 2012 Episode On Bravo  Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video. Online Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV.Family friends Teresa and Joe Giudice, who are currently at odds with the Manzos, were also invited, for some reason. Do they know the couple getting married, or did the producers just want to ensure some drama? You decide.This was an unusual episode since everyone displayed a bit of class, and the couple -- Jamie and Rich -- exchanged vows that brought everyone to tears. But a drama-less moment is boring, so here are the naughty bits...As this episode began, Joe was on a bus with the rest of the Jersey contingent and made a crack about the young Manzo sons' gay friend Greg, who lives with the brothers in a Hoboken apartment at 333 River St. and also was heading to the wedding. (What percentage of people at this wedding actually knew the happy couple?)We shan't repeat the dig, but Greg didn't seem to find it funny. Giudice, a real estate developer who was in some trouble with the law, is known to be a little loose-lipped (which is sort of the opposite of the body part referred to in his bad joke).As the Manzos and Giudices are in Chicago at the wedding, Teresa's brother, Joe Gorga, is hosting a pool party at the Jersey shore to kick off summer. His wife, Melissa, says they're classy and sexy at the same time. "That's our motto," she says. Yes, because it's really sexy to make statements like "There are going to be a lot of 'Gorgasms' at this beach house," which Joe did a few episodes ago. Perhaps he should have instead said there was going to be a lot of re-Gorga-tating.At the pool party, the men start chasing each other and squirting each other with whipped cream. Rich Wakile, Joe Gorga's cousin-in-law, tells the camera that he's glad Teresa isn't there with her nonsense. I mean, what would happen if she got in the way of one of those mature whipped-cream battles? She might have made it less classy and sexy!Kathy Wakile says that she prefers to eat whipped cream, not douse people in it. Thank you, Mommy Obvious.oe Gorga texts Teresa and invites her for the second time to go to therapy with him, to work out their differences. He tells Rich Wakile that it's worth going, because maybe he's the one who's wrong. Hold everything - a man admitting he's wrong? Now we know reality shows are scripted!Back in Chicago, the wedding party lets loose some little paper "wish balloons" or "sky lanterns" that are buoyed by flames and start floating up to the sky. They explode in midair. They're really very cool. Since we figure people will Google these contraptions now that they've been shown on a popular reality show, we feel comfortable telling you that (a) there is a website called wishballoons.net, and (b) if you are more interested in the news of Hudson County, New Jersey, than in wish balloons, you should go to the Hudson Reporter newspaper group . Now that's opportunism.

Speaking of which, the Manzos are prepping for the big wedding by ordering fruit platters and cocktails from room service. Fabulous friend Greg forgot his toothpaste, so he went downstairs to grab it and hey, whaddaya know, the tabloid stand -- with In Touch! -- was right near the fang care section. Now we get to see what joy lies beyond the cover. The headline "They Can't Stop Publicly Insulting Her" is above four photos of Caroline, Kim G., mid-conversation Melissa and eyes-wide-open Kathy. Caroline's quote ("When Teresa talks about her issues it's very 'don't worry, we're fine'") isn't all that awful. "It's not bashing, it's fact," she explains. The other gals' quotes have gotten all twisted up. Caroline's shocked that she's "being called a bully by a bully," but over in her own suite, Jacqueline still seems amused. It's a lot easier to laugh at a rag when you're not the one being mopped up with it.

Caroline's perplexed that Teresa even bothered to come to the wedding knowing that the magazine would be hitting the stands. Now instead of he said/she said crap, Teresa's truly hateful feelings are out there for the whole world to see ... and buy. So what's Caroline going to do? She's not open to a conversation, that's for sure. "Shut your mouth and suck it up. I don't care what it takes, don't give her what she wants, don't play the game, shut up." With those bitter words of wisdom, Caroline, Greg and Lauren toast to "taking the high road," and because I am evil, I wonder if Lauren has plans to do some walking of her own after slurping down those liquid calories.

Speaking of evil, it's time to see if anyone's dropped a house on Teresa yet. Darn, she's still with us -- and in bed with her partner in hate crime no less. She jumps on Joe and asks why there's "lubricant" near the bed. He alludes to needing some special Chicago alone time. Teresa quickly moves on and urges him to get ready for the wedding. "I don't think it's really a wedding because you can't get married in Chicago, it's called something else," Joe mumbles. Luckily Teresa knows what it's called: "Civil rights." Yes, thank you for that clarification, Teresa. Now maybe Joe will just get up and put some clothing on that magnificent body and ... oh wait, just one more thing. "The one thing about gay people is they keep things running very, very nice." Sigh. Teresa reminds us that people don't really get Joe's very complex humor. She still can't believe the great "butt hole" joke from the previous night didn't have them rolling in the aisles.

Back in Jacqueline's room, she prepares for Teresa's arrival by displaying the tabloid in all its pathetic glory. Once inside, Teresa reminds Jacquline to channel the princess "Kate Hudson," because she can rock the socks off a fascinator. (It's a mandatory hat wedding, as you recall.) Then they laugh and laugh and everyone wonders how Teresa is able to breath, speak and talk with a brain that small. It seems like an awful lot of work. Since Jacqueline is really good at awkward segues, she randomly asks Teresa if she's acquired a puppy as of late. "Wasn't he cute? I'm so scared of dogs and those dogs, well, In Touch brought the dogs," Teresa explained. "I have nothing to do with what they write on the cover. What did they write this week? That I'm afraid to be poor? Would you want to be poor?" Wait. So, you had no idea you were going to be on the cover, but you managed to give them an interview all about your financial situation. Plus, you word-for-word reiterated a headline that you'd never seen in your life? That's actually very impressive. Hats off to you, Kate Hudson of Jersey!

Teresa went on to explain that she never said anything derogatory about her pals. "They ask me questions, I answer," she explains. It's just a way to make a buck -- and it's not the last time she'll trade her pain for a pay day. She merrily explains that the next cover will put rumors of an impending divorce to bed because she and Joe will renew their vows!!! She says this with such forced joy and a dead-behind-the-eyes stare that it's almost depressing. Even Jacqueline admits that Teresa's "life is being manufactured into this fantasy that doesn't exist" -- and for someone trying so hard to dispel rumors of poverty, this is a pretty cheap move.

Now that everyone's shellacked and stuffed into dresses and hats, it's time to ride the bus to gay wedding town! Lauren's in a demure white dress, but she has a troubling growth attached to her head. It's supposed to be a flower, but it's about as delicate as a venus fly trap. Maybe she has a delicious snack stored inside, eh? Meanwhile, Caroline's all Kermit the Frog chic. Her hat looks like a lily pad with a poached egg on top. It's like that song Kermy used to sing, how'd it go? Like "It's not easy being a fashion victim." Teresa's fixed a head of lettuce and a peacock feather to her dome, and Jacqueline's isn't so bad. It's like a polka dot explosion, but it's more Kentucky Derby than Royal Wedding. Everyone tries to get in the spirit by speaking in British accents ... everyone except Teresa, that is. Since she can barely manage English with an American accent, her attempt is hilarious. It starts kind of Spanish-y and just ends in dirty Jerz, but it has the bus cracking up. If you hadn't seen the previews/realized that this show runs on the fuel of hatred, you'd assume things were going to be just fine.

Back in Jersey, Melissa proudly flashes her new shore house and old boobs. She has a disorder that makes wearing shirts painful, so she must suffer silently in tiny bikinis. Kathy has a similar condition which makes wearing normal sized shorts almost impossible. Luckily alcohol and proximity to a pool can cure what ails them. The Gorga/Wakile BBQ is about to really pop off when Joe enters with some party supplies -- the infamous Teresa tabloid included. Melissa's eyes almost pop out of her head when she sees the cover, and the dog is discussed yet again. They quickly move past the furry and onto the fury when they see themselves inside. The quotes attributed to them are total BS, and the photos are even worse. Melissa reminds us that Teresa's getting paid to do this -- but at the end of the day, you can't put a price on loyalty.

Back on the bus, the laughter has subsided and Joe is in rare form. "Tre, your tits are hangin' out!" he explains. Then he calls her a whore and she tells him she's going to knock him out. In 100 years, scientists will study this bizarre mating ritual and learn a great deal about habits of the less intelligent subset of humans. (Don't tell anyone from 2012 what I have shared with you from my contacts in the future.) But I digress. After that demented display of affection, Chris makes an exciting announcement: His company just signed on to represent a big brand of wine, and that means a trip to Napa! He invites everyone to go on the road trip -- Teresa included. Even Jacqueline is kinda confused, but smart viewers know it was pretty much just a plug for that fancy wine. Cheers to not-so-subliminal messaging?

Caroline turns to her notes (she's reading a speech at the wedding), and Teresa decides it's a nice time to begin harassing her. She's all "I like your hat! What a pretty hat! I can say the word hat! Isn't it funny how a word stops sounding like a word when you say it a lot of times" and Caroline's all "Shut up, I know about your stupid article." She's seriously o-v-e-r it. No more Mrs. Nice Hat.

Finally, they pull up to Jaime's home. There's a harpist, lots of little snackies, a few LBGT-friendly swans (which Joe thinks are "pelicans") being released into a little pond ... you know, typical garden party accouterment.

The husbands-to-be enter in a horse drawn carriage, beaming in head-to-toe white. Caroline starts crying immediately, and it's hard not to tear up as Chris talks about how proud he is to be at the big event. It's been a long 13 years, but Jaime and Rich are ecstatic to enter into a civil union. Jaime shares some incredibly touching words, and Rich lets him in on a "little secret": "You've always asked me why I'm able to sleep like a baby, and why I wake up with a smile. I'm able because you're everything I ever hoped for, and you're everything I will ever need." He can barely get the words out, and even Teresa is reduced to sobs. Later, Joe admits that he "teared a little," too. Now that the entire crowd is soggy, it's Caroline's time to talk.

She speaks of Jaime and Rich's story. It's one made up of minds; some narrow, some broad. She shares her memory of when Jaime came out, and how happy "mommy and daddy" were that Jaime was finally "free." She wishes them love and peace forever and always. Then they kiss and let a bunch of tortured butterflies out of a box. It's a beautiful affair as long as you're not a member of PETA.

Back at the shore, the drinks are flowing and the families and friends are gathered around the pool. Joe announces that they're going to start the summer off right -- and listen to Melissa's new song, "Rock Stars." Some man named Bobby hits the song, but Joe directs the crowd to look at him as he gyrates to the jungle rhythms. The song's pretty bad, but his moves are scarring.

Rich Wakile decides it's a perfect time to usher Joe away for a chat about the status of his relationship with Teresa and possible therapy. Joe explains that she hasn't even responded to his text, but he's still very willing to do what it takes. Rich urges him to text her again while she's at the wedding without the children of the corn. After some thought, he types "Hi Tre, I'm at the shore thinking about you and the girls. I miss you guys. Call me so we can talk about it." It's kinda a cute role-reversal to see two dudes struggling over the perfect way to word a text. It's also a perfect opportunity for me to remind everyone that real friends don't let friends drink and text. If you wouldn't say it sober, you shouldn't say it with three solo cups of vodka in your system; but there's something to be said for liquid courage.

Online Previews Girls 1x10 She Did

That night, Marnie is itching for a fight when she tells Hannah that she liked Tallie's book and it made her cry and "not because she was on her period." When Hannah tries to tell Marnie about her night, Marnie throws the rent thing in her face again.Free Download Video Girls 17th June 2012 Episode On HBO  Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video. Online Watch Girls Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV.Hannah has a nemesis. The girls are at a book party for Tallie Schiffer, one of Hannah's classmates who she claims was always a terrible writer but had the good fortune of having her boyfriend up and kill himself, leaving her with a goldmine of memoir material.Passive aggression flies. Tallie tells Hannah how easy it was for her to write the book, like she was "water birthing her truth," and that she worries about how difficult writing always seemed to be for Hannah. Hannah tells Tallie she has a boyfriend ... who is alive and well.At the book party, Hannah also runs into her old professor, Christopher Moltisani. He encourages her to come to a reading he is hosting. In spite of this being a very "unHannah" thing to do, she eventually agrees to it.After Adam beatboxes his way through the kitchen en route to occupy the bathroom "for at least 10 minutes," Marnie tells Hannah that Professor Christopher Moltisani is exactly that kind of person she should be with, and that there was definitely "a thing" between them. Marnie's motives are questionable here. Hannah shrugs it off, and tells Marnie that she plans to read her story about Phil the Hoarder. Marnie doesn't love that story. Hannah accuses her of not being supportive. Marnie throws in her face that she does support Hannah. Literally. Marnie has been paying her rent.Shoshanna tells Jessa that she joined a very expensive dating site, "because ugly people do match.com," and that she's been messaging a guy name Brice, "I mean, hello!, great name, right?" and that he's in product development, "which is like perfect for me, because I love products!" and he's Jewish!Then, Jessa gets a surprise, very awkward visit from the woman who she used to babysit for, the one who is married to the guy she had been flirting with, and invited to the party in Bushwick. Basically, she tells Jessa that she suspects that Jessa gets into these dramas because she is distracting herself from becoming the person she wants to be. Jessa takes this very unJessa-like, she actually takes it very seriously.Hannah goes to work a shift at Cafe Grumpy, where Ray is a manager. She gives him a synopsis of her Phil the Hoarder essay. He advises her to write about something real, perhaps cultural criticism, or about years of neglected abuse, plight of the giant panda bear, divorce, urban sprawl, racial profiling or death.

So, Hannah shows up to the reading and shares a story she wrote on the subway ride there about an Internet boyfriend named Igor who remained her boyfriend until his friend IMed her to tell her Igor had died. Christopher Moltisani tells her the story was crap and she should've stuck with the Phil the Hoarder story.
 "I pay all of the bills in this apartment, does that not give me one night off from talking about your problems?" Low, Marnie. The fight then becomes about Hannah pushing everyone and eating all of the yogurt, and then they blame each other of being selfish. It gets really dirty. Hannah accuses Marnie of being jealous that she has a boyfriend, Marnie brings up an eighth grade masturbation secret of Hannah's. Marnie throws the final punch when she accuses Hannah of being a bad friend, and Hannah agrees that she has been a bad friend because she has bigger things to worry about. Marnie says she wants to move out.After watching the penultimate episode of Girls’ first season (Season 1, Episode 9: “Leave Me Alone”), we have one wish for the finale: Please, oh please let us see footage of Shoshanna’s internet date with Bryce.

With an impressive array of guest stars — Kathryn Hahn returning as Kathryn, Jessa’s former babysitting boss; Michael Imperioli as Powell Goodman, Hanna’s former writing professor; and Jenny Slate as Tally Shifrin, a published author who Hanna went to school with — this was a rich episode for Hanna, Jessa, and Marnie. We’ve been waiting for Girls to portray a fight between girlfriends, and we loved the language and posturing on display in Hanna and Marnie’s very real screaming match.

Envy over a frenemy’s career in your mid-20s. After college, there is definitely a certain point where old frenemies and acquaintances go from that girl who got wasted at parties to that girl who has a career all of a sudden. For artists and writers especially, it cam seem like your life is “trivial” (to borrow one of Hanna’s words) when someone you know gets a mini-feature in New York Magazine, or worse, an actual published book, before you’ve even figured out where to pitch your meandering ideas. Hanna’s envy disguised as self-righteousness seemed tonally realistic, especially the small digs at Tally’s expense: “It’s such a big deal to finish a book. It doesn’t really matter what’s in the book.” What we want for Hanna is to discover the right outlets for her personal essays. Jezebel, xoJane, or even Slate would seem very possible options for her style. We think she’ll realize this soon enough, but in a way, which we think Lena Dunham understands, we’re enjoying and relating to Hanna’s plight more right now, pre-success.

Tension when friends owe each other money. Isn’t that the worst? Marnie is young, so we forgive her passive aggressive approach to sharing how much she resents paying Hanna’s rent and bills. But we’ve seen this happen so many times, where one roommate falls behind, and the other hates them while silently hating the fact that they have to support them. It was interesting to watch Marnie say, mid-fight, “I support you! Literally.” True, Marnie supports Hanna financially at this point (and where did Hanna get the money to buy those slim leg jeans that Ray insisted on?), but it’s becoming obvious that Marnie can’t bear the weight of supporting Hanna emotionally anymore. Money really does come between friends, especially when there’s so little of it to go around.

Kathryn’s advice, Part 1. We loved this scene between Jessa and Kathryn, when the successful but hurting mother of two unleashed a painfully true assessment of growing up. “I bet you get into these dramas all the time, like with Jeff and me, where you cause all this trouble and you have no idea why. You’re doing it to distract yourself from becoming the person you’re meant to be,” says Katheryn. Jessa asks, earnestly, “Which is who?” And then the kicker: “She might not look like what you pictured when you were 16. Her job may not be cool. Her hair might not be flowing like a mermaid. And she might really be serious about something. Or someone. And she might be a whole lot happier than you are right now.” Having an illusion of who you’ll be when you grow up is empowering when you’re young. It’s hard not to be disappointed when life looks very different from your dreams.

Online Watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV. Kim fills Bruce, Kendall, and Kylie in on Kris’ tennis swing noises and gets the bright idea that everyone should hear just how sexy Mom sounds with a racket in hand. “She doesn’t make that much noise in the bedroom, I guarantee ya,” Bruce chimes in.She’s also not been watching a certain music video, and Bruce confronts her about it. All she has to do is give the video a shot. But, as Kris points out, he hasn’t even asked Brandon whether he’s interested in having her manage the group or not. Not to mention, her relationship with Brandon and his own mom can be tricky, and Kris doesn’t want to stir the waters. “Watch the video,” he answers sternly. This whole season, Bruce has been sticking up for himself more and more, and we gotta say, we’re digging the winning attitude from Mr. Olympian!Speaking of champs, the family tennis match Kim’s devised finally arrives, and even Mason can’t help but notice the weird noise his grandma is making. Kendall and Kylie do wildly accurate imitations of Kris, which of course sends her on a crying spree. Kris declares that the family has ruined something that’s meant so much to her. Bruce calms her down from her temper tantrum, thankfully.Then, Kourtney starts getting on Scott Disick’s case. Back at their place, she starts to complain about the lack of romance between them. She asks him to draw her a bubble bath, which he is surprisingly slick about… until he starts fiddling with her toes and “smurf bite” pinching her. If there was a moment, it was long gone after that. Kourtney misses their early days when they were “obsessed with each other.” “You have no romance in your body,” she tells him simply. Ouch!Kim later makes amends with Kris by touching her where it really matters — her sense of style. Kim doesn’t want their little joke to discourage her mom from playing, so she’s bought her a Chanel tennis racket and ball set to make it all better. Point, set, match.Later, since Kris hasn’t watched the bleeping video already, Bruce takes it upon himself to show up to her meeting with Babyface. He walks in as Kris is discussing some boy band combination idea Lance Bass had thrown her way. Talk about awkward interruption! Babyface at least keeps up a good face and the trio gives the vid a gander. Whaddya know, the kids aren’t bad after all! Even Babyface is pleasantly surprised. Kris also seems to respect Bruce’s forthrightness in barging in. “He kind of took a page out of my book,” she admits.

On the latest episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kris rediscovers her love of tennis and Bruce tries to get Kris to manage his son Brandon.  Kris goes shopping with Kim for tennis gear. Kris makes loud grunting noises whenever she hits the ball, leading Kim and Kourtney to tease her mercifully. They hatch a plan to get the whole family involved to embarrass her.

Bruce tells Kris about Brandon’s musical ventures because she is staring a music management company with Kenny “Baby Face” Edmonds. Brandon and his fiancé Leah have a fledgling music career, they just need a good break. Kris is hesitant to mix business with family. Bruce laughs at her because their whole Kardashian family is business. He feels disappointed that she is not eager to help his side of the family.  Kris says it’s more pressure to take on his kids because if she makes a bad decision, it could hurt their dynamic.  Bruce is further annoyed that nobody in the family but him shows up to see Brandon and Leah play at their gigs, while everyone shows up for Kardashian events. Bruce simply wants Kris to watch their video and agree to set up a meeting.  Kris doesn’t know that Brandon would even want her involved and she is also fearful because she doesn’t have a good history with his mom.

Kim tells her younger sisters that there will be a family tennis match so that everyone can hear Kris’ crazy noises. The girls and Scott show up for the tennis mach. Everyone is treated to Kris’ grunting. The other girls start imitating her sounds to show her how ridiculous she sounds.  She tells them all to kiss her ass and storms off, claiming they ruined it for her.  The teasing makes Kris cry. Kim brings Kris a present to make up her with her about the tennis teasing. It’s her very own expensive racket and balls to get her back into the game. She decides that the teasing shouldn’t bring her down.

Kris meets with Babyface to discuss their new company.  Bruce crashes the meeting, bringing Brandon’s music video with him.   Kris thinks Bruce has lost his mind. Bruce plays the video and both Babyface and Kris like it. Kris offers to have Babyface hear them in person at a gig, as long as Bruce gets Brandon’s agreement. Bruce asks Brandon how he would feel with Kris’ involvement.  Brandon thinks it would be weird and not sure it would be a good fit for him and Leah. Bruce convinces him to at least take a meeting with Kris.

Online Previews True Blood 5x2 Authority Always Wins

Despite the UK weather desperately trying to convince us otherwise, summer is once again upon us, which, for those of us with a penchant for fangs, shifters and weres means it’s time for our annual trip to the deep south. Rejoice brothers and sisters, for the one True Blood has returned...Free Download Video True Blood 17th June 2012 Episode On HBO  Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video. Online Watch True Blood Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV. About bloody time. The last nine months have dragged on endlessly, and given the ongoing misery that is British weather, the timing couldn’t have been better. Is there a more perfect way to spend a rainy morning/afternoon/eternity than in the company of Sookie, Eric, Laf et al? Unlikely. At least, not in a televisual sense. Anyhoo, having waited nine long months for our next dose of True Blood, Turn, Turn, Turn did not disappoint.As always with their season openers, the show wasted a total of zero time, dropping us straight into the action. Fast-paced and packed full of teasers and questions, season five’s premiere once again set the bar, not only for season beginnings, but hopefully, for the rest of the series. Five minutes in and Tara was already well on her way to being a vampire, and Eric and Bill had felt the long arm of the Authority, and they were the episode’s least surprising events.Let’s start with newly gay vampire-American, the no longer Reverend Steve Newlin declaring himself to a naked Jason shall we? First off: no way he was turned as a punishment – whatever the  reason the Rev was made, it can only mean trouble for the Stackhouses. Secondly: poor, poor Jason. The boy just doesn’t have any luck – apparently being pretty and ridiculously stupid can have very dangerous consequences in the southern states, which, given his history should really be something he’s worked out. Although, it’s more than possible he’s starting to – which leads to one of the other surprises of the episode. He might be dumb as a box of hair, but damn if he isn’t turning into the sweetest idiot in the village. As far as we’ve been led to believe, Jason Stackhouse has never said no to sex in his life; it’s just possible that Jason has finally discovered his conscience. Having said that, it’s also just possible that sleeping with your best friend’s girlfriend, losing your best friend and then said girlfriend, and then having a man who tried to kill you tell you he loves you could put even the most womanising of womanisers off sex...Perhaps the juiciest surprise from the season opener is the likelihood that there will be more than one big bad this year. Clearly, the Authority are dangerous – for the time being at least, but then there’s Marcus’ terrifying mother, Terry’s weird Iraqi-fire curse and Jesus’ corpse mysteriously walking away having cleaned up after himself... And that’s before we even consider the crispy bag of megalomania that is ex-King Russell, once again on the loose and no doubt after the same vampires the Authority are now in possession of. With so many general threats, as well as the inevitable consequences of the vamping of Tara and Debbie’s head removal via buckshot, it’s going to be an interesting, complex season.Most interesting of all - so far - from a character perspective is the newly formed Team Eric and Bill. With Eric back to his old fantastic self, this bromance can really get going – it has tons of hilarious vampire potential, so fingers crossed it lasts as long as possible. On a related subject, we can’t not mention the almost-incest angle. This could well turn out to be something quite interesting – Nora is high up in the Authority, and as that’s going to be big this season, she could well be our in – let’s not forget, technically, they’re not actually related. It could however, just as easily have been a suitably outrageous excuse to get the Skarsgard naked. That’s not a complaint, now – naked Skarsgard is naked Skarsgard – but surely we’re past excuses at this point? Let’s give it the benefit of the doubt for now – it’s about time we saw some more of the Authority, and anything that gets us there is just fine.An often action-packed thrill ride through the repercussions of the previous season, the True Blood season 5 premiere presents a thoroughly entertaining, though flawed, first installment for the series’ new year.

Picking up where the chaotic True Blood season 4 finale left, much of the premiere follows Sookie (Anna Paquin) and friends through the aftermath of their murderous escapades. Certainly a necessity given the numerous cliffhangers and unfinished stories that were left from last season, a noticeable divide presents itself in the premiere, where tying up loose ends with some characters is juxtaposed with new, compelling stories for others.As Sookie and Lafayette “take care” of Tara and Debbie, Bill (Stephen Moyer) and Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) “take care” of  Nan Flanagan and the Vampire Authority, and Sam (Sam Trammell) and Alcide (Joe Manganiello) “take care” of Marcus and the pack, while Jason (Ryan Kwanten) is kicking things off with Steve Newlin (Michael McMillian) and Jessica is trying to “find” herself. Oh, and Russell Edgington (Denis O’Hare) is back.

While separate and concurrent storylines aren’t inherently a poor trait, True Blood once began as a single story with many parts. Now many stories with their own individual elements muddle the narrative – each scene represents its own story with its own characters (which rarely overlap).

Aside from this trait making True Blood a truly active viewing experience (if you want to keep up with what’s going on), the lack of fluidity amongst the series’ many storylines makes it difficult to get an overall sense of what’s actually occurring in Bon Temps.That being said, for those able to completely grasp hold of True Blood’s transition from its initial narrative to its current structuring, the season 5 premiere is a mixed bag of thoroughly enjoyable scenes and intriguing character moments.

With many of the best character moments coming from the likes of Pam (Kristin Bauer van Straten) and Terry (Todd Lowe), many of the other storylines present a more heightened emotional front, which can often become goofy or silly – while still remaining enjoyable.

Though teases of Russel Edgington and other impending challenges were interspersed throughout the premiere, there isn’t really a clear sense of where True Blood is heading as the season progresses. Having screened episodes beyond the premiere, it’s fair to say that some will be surprised to see what occurs by episode four. Of course, by now, this should be no surprise for fans of True Blood.Having experienced previous seasons of Gods and witches, fans of the series should be up to speed with how the series reacts to outside entities trying to enter the story. Fortunately, True Blood season 5 appears to be trying to tell inclusive tales using many of the series’ familiar faces. While several new characters are added throughout, their inclusion feels more natural and overall advances the characters’ story nicely.

By turning Terra (Rutina Wesley) into a vampire, it certainly provides the series with a way to keep her around. More importantly, it allows the writers to tap into another side of the character. Giving the powers of a vampire to a woman who has largely been abused by the world, it’ll be interesting to see how she takes to her new affinity for the night time.

Finally touching upon Terry Bellefleur’s military past, the return of former platoon leader Patrick Devins (Scott Foley) presents an intriguing storyline for the typically quiet character. Though Devins’ introduction was masked by a confusing introduction that didn’t even make sense to Terry (let alone the audience), the overall intent of Devins wasn’t made as clear as it probably should have been.

Trying to incorporate so many individual storylines into a 60-minute television series is extremely difficult – something True Blood hopefully learned from last season. So while the True Blood season 5 premiere is an enjoyable collection of new and concluding story-arcs that, for those willing to give way to its quickened pace of storytelling, represents that beginning of what very well could be a completely entertaining season, that sentiment could unfortunately change at any moment.

Online Previews Falling Skies 2x1 Worlds Apart

Tom is plagued by haunting memories of his time with the aliens and begins to speculate that they may have tampered with his mind. Elsewhere, Pope oversees an interview with Tom; Ben's hatred toward the skitters escalates; and scouts discover a bridge that could lead the group to safety.Free Download Video Falling Skies 17th June 2012 Episode On TNT  Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video. Online Watch Falling Skies Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV. After spending the last several months mulling and anticipating the Falling Skies season 2 premiere, I finally got a look at the two-part debut including the episodes "World's Apart" and "Shall We Gather at the River". Result: I'm stunned. Since the creative team had little or no opportunity to course correct based on viewer feedback in season one, I sort of anticipated season 2 of Falling Skies would be a reboot in many ways, but I never expected the magnitude of improvements I've just witnessed. Falling Skies has set the standard for prime-time action and Science Fiction and delivered an opening act that finally fulfills the promise of a blockbuster level experience on the small screen. That said, the transition from season one is not nearly as jarring as you might expect. I definitely felt I was in a new world, and the Falling Skies' technical improvements were apparent from the beginning, but season one does not suffer as a result. This is a fluidly executed transition to a new narrative that will quite simply, pardon the cliche, blow you away. Here's a few points that stuck out to me:Where season one sometimes felt confined with sets like The School, season two of Falling Skies has a much broader scope and offers a more 'left behind' feel to the locales. Furthermore, the resistance camps feel like refugee camps now, with creature comforts at a minimum and an air of constant tension. The survivors are now living with the stress of occupation, and you can see its toll in every facet of daily life. Better yet, you can see and practically feel how this world penetrates the psyches of the characters, and informs their dialogue and interactions. It's darker, for sure, but it is also more textured than the world of season one.Everyone has hardened a bit here, but there is also an improved sense of realism. Some of the biggest changes are evident in Ben, who has gone from the skittish survivor of season one to a hardened warrior, and Ann (Moon Bloodgood) who has now honed her skills to those of a very qualified combat medic, but has become more withdrawn emotionally. All of the characters exist in a sort of shell-shocked haze, their psychologies bristling with battlefield idiosyncrasies, with even the most adapted—Pope, Weaver—becoming somewhat mechanized, as if they are burying themselves in the never-ending rigors of combat yet allowing grudging flashes of humanity to ooze around the cracks in their armor.We were lucky enough to speak to stars Noah Wyle, Moon Bloodgood, Colin Cunningham and Drew Roy, plus new showrunner Remi Aubuchon. And one thing came through loud and clear: This season, Pope's dark, twisted view of the world is a lot closer to the truth. Minor spoilers ahead...

We already presented some of our interviews with the Falling Skies stars a while back, focusing on the challenge of continuing the story after a really out-of-left-field season-ending cliffhanger. The good news is, after watching the first few episodes of the new season, we can attest the show does a pretty good job of making that cliffhanger pay off, and the new season is feeling a lot stronger in general. (We'll have a full review of the new episodes on Friday.)

The note we heard over and over again from the stars of Falling Skies during our interviews was: This isn't going to be as cozy as it was in season one. "It's even grittier," says Drew Roy, who plays Hal Mason. "It's no longer this nice little show where everybody feels like we're on a big camping trip. This one is serious. Each day is a battle."

The aliens are no longer screwing around — they're trying their hardest to wipe out the humans at this point, says Roy. Since we last saw the Second Mass, three months have gone by, and there's been a devastating battle called the Battle of Fitchburg, in which 100 people died.

In the first season finale, Tom Mason managed to damage the alien structure in Boston, which "felt kind of good to us, but all it really did was piss them off. So now they're on the hunt for us," says Roy. "We're going to spend the season on the run. We can't fight these aliens the way we are positioned right now. We're too small a group."

"There is no question the show is darker," says Colin Cunningham, who plays the sociopath Pope. "I think you're going to see changes in characters, because the stakes are higher. It's edgier." And there's going to be no doubt in season two that this world is "much more akin to how Pope sees it than how any of the other characters see it." All of the characters who were simpler and more idealistic in season one are going to get grayer and "a hell of a lot more complicated," Cunningham promises.

"I'll be honest. I just felt that it was more interesting. If we are ever going to defeat these aliens, it's better if we do it with our own ingenuity, and not a magic bullet," says Aubuchon, the new showrunner. "I understood why they did that in the first season. [But] I wanted the stakes to be higher, and I wanted us to to figure out a way in which we could basically battle these guys with our own tools and our own human ingenuity."

It's the difference between an alien invasion movie and a TV series: a movie has to end, with a laptop virus or a surprising alien weakness providing a victory. A TV series can go on and on, and build things more carefully, and also keep dealing the good guys a series of setbacks. "I don't want to make it easy for our heroes at all, to eventually win the war against these aliens."

"If the first season is about dealing with the initial horror of aliens coming to our planet and wiping 90 percent of us," says new showrunner Remi Aubuchon, "by the second season, it's pretty much sunk into everybody that these aliens aren't going anywhere. Our lives will never be the same again. We have to fight, and if we're to have any semblance of survival, we have to get these things off our planet."

Online Previews The Glades 3x3 Longworth's Anatomy

When Jim and Carlos investigate the death of a millionaire who bequeathed all his wealth to an organization of UFO enthusiasts, the organization's leader accuses the FDLE of covering up the true cause of death. Free Download Video The Glades 17th June 2012 Episode On A&E  Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video. Online Watch The Glades Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV. Tonight, the A&E series The Glades returns for its third season with a brand new episode titled “Close Encounters” (Season 3 Episode 1) and since I had the opportunity to watch an advance copy of the episode, I wanted to share some tidbits of what you can expect.Before I start, I want to confess something first. Last season, I sort of dropped out of watching The Glades. It started with the season 2 premiere episode “Family Matters” where I was irritated by Callie’s annoying waffling and it culminated with “Moonlighting” where I just gave up on the whole Jim and Callie storyline all together as it detracted from the procedural aspect. Needless to say, I was worried that this new episode was going to be more of the same angst ridden debacle that was last season.Thankfully, this episode alleviated some of those fears. While the two are still at it, the whole relationship has been toned way down and the episode focused primarily on the investiagetion, as it should. Yes, they are still doing lovey-dovey-angsty thing but it’s not as annoying as last season. I actually felt that Callie was given very little camera-time this go around but that could just be me.On the procedural side of things, this episode’s mystery was very interesting as I could not figure out who did it all throughout the entire episode which is quite a feat when you watch as many procedurals as I do. The suspects were not super charismatic but they managed to be pretty interesting in the end.Overall, it’s not an explosive season premiere but it’s still worth watching if you are a fan of the classic Jim Longworth storylines. So don’t miss the season premiere of The Glades “Close Encounters” which airs at 9/8C on A&E. In the meantime, you can check out a video promo of the new season below. Warning: the video promo below is SUPER spoilery for the premiere episode so watch at your own risk.Welcome back, devoted fans of The Glades! Ready for another summer of gators, sawgrass and murder victims? I know I’ve been missing my weekly fix of my home state, and in the season three premiere, “Close Encounters,” I could almost smell the swamp gas.

This week’s victim was a very wealthy man with a gorgeous trophy wife and an eccentric belief that he was abducted by aliens. Unfortunately for him, that belief led him to give a lot of money to a phony UFO investigator who turned out to be a con man. Like any good swindler, the UFO guy murdered the poor man when he decided to leave all of his money to the hot wife, then set up the hot wife to make it seem like she’d tried to set him up!

It was a pretty decent twist, I have to admit. And he would have gotten away with it, too, if he hadn’t taken on a partner with nothing but muscle between his ears. Good help really is hard to find.

As for the whole aliens aspect of the episode, I was with them right up until the end. Every strange occurance was explained away with science and fact…and then Jim looked up in the sky and saw a strange pattern of lights which suddenly and extraordinarily scattered amongst the stars. Okay, you can’t have it both ways. You can’t appease the skeptics and the believers at the same time; all it really does is insult the believers and annoy the skeptics. I choose to blame Jim’s vision on the wine he and Callie were drinking.

Yes, he and Callie are still going strong…and going everywhere, I might add. Not even the empty hospital where she once worked is sacred ground when it comes to their ooey, gooey love fest. I guess maybe I’m still a little bitter that chose him over the needs of her child, that she would rather stay in a city where she might never get a job than bear leaving his side. It doesn’t jive with a character who asked him not to help her get another job.

Last week, I complained about how Callie’s decision to stay in Florida to be with Jim had led to a massive sap fest. But this week’s episode of The Glades, “Posideon Adventure,” actually addressed my complaint, as if the writers had some sort of pipeline to my brain. Or maybe they just had a plan all along. Either way, I’m pleased with the outcome. I’m not sure I could have taken more smiles and slow dances. Although I will absolutely take more shots of Matt Passmore coming out of the shower in just a towel.

When a girl in a mermaid costume washed up on the beach, Jim dove into the world of synchronized swimming shows. As a girl who grew up in Florida, I’ve been fascinated by the famous Weeki Watchee mermaids my whole life, so it was nice to see them get a shout-out, even in passing. Whatever helps ticket sales; some things are so cheesy that they’re sacred.

The murder didn’t have as many twists and turns as the one in the season premiere (it was pretty predictable that the girl was murdered over money), but it was a little surprising that the good sister who was murdered turned out to be way worse than her supposedly wild-child little sister. And a love story came out of it. Hurray!

Back on the home front, however, Jim’s newfound happiness with Callie had only one cloud keeping it from being perfect. The girl can’t seem to find a job. Not even the connections she got through Carlos had gotten her past the interview stage, and the bank wouldn’t give her a loan to go to medical school. Jim’s first suggestion, that she take a break from work, didn’t go over so well. She ended up calling Atlanta and asking about the job she turned down. By the time he got around to suggesting that she take it, her mind was already made up.

"The Disney XD audience has connected with Spider-Man and his super-powered friends as they face challenges in school and with their S.H.I.E.L.D. training," said Disney XD VP and General Manager David Levine about the news. "As the anchor of our Marvel Universe block, 'Ultimate Spider-Man' season two will be back with more humor, villains and adventurous storylines that boys (and girls) will love."Marvel TV head honcho Jeph Loeb promised that "With season two, the series introduces popular Marvel heroes and villains you've never seen before on the small screen." Among those popular heroes, look for some extremely familiar faces: Captain America, Iron Man, Thor and Hulk are rumored to be making appearances as the SHIELD-trained Spidey finds himself involved with the Avengers. Not that you'll have to wait that long to see the animated hero team up with a fellow Avenger; in the episode premiering this upcoming Sunday -- "Freaky," written by none other than Ultimate Spider-Man comic creator Brian Michael Bendis -- our friendly neighborhood wall-crawler finds himself swapping bodies with guest-star Wolverine a la his own comic book storyline.The cartoon series Ultimate Spider-Man is one of the benefits of the Disney acquisition of Marvel. Disney augmenting Marvel Studios funding so they could produce content for Disney venues, led to the Marvel Universe programming block on the Disney XD channel. It also features the Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes animated series. The show is on iTunes and Amazon (fortunately for me, since my cable provider offers Disney XD, but as part of the most expensive package. I'd much rather purchase the individual episodes). The show kicked off with the first two episodes, which form the basis of the series.The show is the brainchild of Jeph Loeb, and features the creative team of the Men of Action group (comic book writers turned Hollywood, responsible for Ben 10 and Generator Rex animated series), Brian Michael Bendis (the essential creator of the Ultimate universe Spider-Man comic), and Paul Dini (of DC Animated Universe fame). Given the creative team, many fans of both Spider-Man and animation set their hopes pretty high.

The animation is, generally speaking, about as good as animation gets. The execution of the designs, the choreography, all of these are top-notch. The web-slinging, as Spider-Man flings himself across the streets of Manhattan, are well-done and dynamic. The action is very fluid, very casual, yet with an awkward "falling sideways" look and feel.

One of the things I never really understood about adaptations of comic book properties to cartoons is the art team's insistence in making changes. Simplifying designs so they are easier to animate, and consequently meet schedules, is one thing; but often the changes seem like they are made solely for the sake of change, so some egocentric fellow in Hollywood can say "You see the new costume? That was MY idea!."

There are a litany of small changes here that fall into the "change for change's sake" category. Spider-Man is immediately recognizable in his classic blue-and-red uniform. There are small differences with the Frightful Four designs, such as the Wizard's cheesy mustache straight out of the long-gone-and-glad-of-it disco era. Klaw's sonic weapon is more of a claw than the classic design, Thundra looks different (no chain belt). The Trapster gets the worst and most drastic redesign, looking like a strange welder.

The supporting hero cast has minor changes galore, but the changes make sense to differentiate them from the designs and characterizations of the heroes on which they are based.

One change at the core of Ultimate Spider-Man is, instead of focusing on Spider-Man and Peter Parker, this incarnation clearly ties into the Marvel films. Spider-Man is not the lone wolf type with which we're all familiar. Here he is recruited by SHIELD for training by Samuel Jackson's Nick Fury from the movies. Agent Coulson from Marvel movies is undercover as Parker's high school principal.

The other hero trainees (White Tiger, Nova the Human Rocket, Power Man, and Iron Fist) are replacement characters with no established personality (Nova is not Rich Rider, but new character Sam Alexander), or they are de-aged back to teenagers, with their backgrounds scrubbed.I am very disappointed that they de-aged Power Man and Iron Fist. The personality of characters is, as for all of us, determined by their personal histories. It is frustrating to watch characters for which I have no small affection suddenly retrograded to blank slates, with no reasons for their personalities.

Teen heroes stretch the already-elastic suspension of disbelief required for superhero stories to work, from the de-evolution of the X-Men in X-Men: Evolution, to teen Tony Stark as Iron Man in the series Iron Man Armored Adventures, to, now, Power Man and Iron Fist.

No adults give teenagers that much power to abuse with the combination of emotional volatility and inexperience in just about every aspect of life.

The series attempts to inculcate a much quirkier humor element, mixing techniques from other shows with the dramatic core of superheroics. The kindest thing I can say is that the constant fourth-wall-breaking digressions, Chibi-like animated sequences, and so forth are hit and miss, with many digressions and sequences going on far too long, and with far too much frequency. The writers are clearly trying to include Spider-Man's smart-aleck sense of humor, but one gets the impression they are trying too hard, with the humor too often interrupting the narrative flow, both wasting precious time within the episode and disrupting any attempt to build dramatic circumstances.

I found the digressions were annoyingly childish, which I suppose is fair enough, as the series is aimed at children. I am sure my eight year old son will enjoy them. (I did enjoy the scene of Spider-Man in Spanish class.)

Online Previews The Next Food Network Star 8x6 Iron Chef Food Court

The hopefuls film TV specials based on holidays or special events, with Season 2 winner Guy Fieri providing feedback.Free Download Video The Next Food Network Star 17th June 2012 Episode On Food Network Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video. Online Watch The Next Food Network Star Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV.Each team is assigned a theme for their special - Team Alton is assigned Halloween, Team Giada gets Game Day, and Team Bobby is given the task of Cooking for Kids.As usual, some teams think the other teams have the easier time - particularly Team Bobby, who doesn't want to cook for kids. They're taking the approach of "mindful" cooking - that is, cooking healthy. It's not a bad concept, but when Nikki starts throwing kale into a smoothie...well, I mean, I'm just not picturing the 8 year-olds in the neighborhood lining up.Team Giada is brainstorming Game Day ideas and seem to be on a good path. And by "good" I mean everything that's mentioned sounds like something I'd eat. Team Alton, on the other hand, has a potentially scary Halloween menu that includes both applesauce and fish bones.Justin - Eating Fish Bones: Team Alton's presentation begins with uncomfortable silence as Justin is unsure of when to begin his presentation. His nerves get the better of him as he presents his dish, but the dish itself goes over very well.Judson - Vegetarian Chile: Judson reveals his weight loss and a new point of view - "sweet and the heat," providing healthier options for people. After struggling for a couple of weeks, he seems to have improved with this challenge, but the Network is still not convinced.Martie - Diablo Chicken Wings: Martie - as usual - rambles with her chicken wings. Though she was warned to be mindful of the clock so as not to throw off Emily, she still goes long, and the judges are critical about it.Emily - Applesauce: Rushed due to Martie's presentation, Emily just barely manages to talk about her dish, but the judges give her credit for keeping calm and for, as Guy put it, her "bomb" applesauce.Overall, the judges note that Team Alton presented more as individuals than as a team and didn't really "rise to the occasion personality wise." Next up: Team Giada presents their Game Day menu.Yvan - Beer Battered Wings: Team Giada's presentation starts off very naturally and smoothly, and Yvan goes right into talking about his dish. Judges seem pleased with his humor and engagement with Guy.Ippy - Teriyaki Sliders: Ippy also goes for the "bro" angle with Guy and does a good job at presenting his recipe. Judges don't love his dish, however, noting that it seemed to fall apart.

Martita - Grilled Quesadilla: Another smooth presentation, and Martita notes that she feels like Guy is part of their team. Guy thinks she did a great job on the dish, and the judges did like her presentation, noting the "warmth" she emanates.

Linkie - Chocolate Chip Pecan Football Cookies: Linkie almost gets thrown off by Guy but recovers quickly to give a good presentation of her "artwork" in making her cookies look like footballs. Great reviews from the judges for the cookie, including the designation of favorite dish she's made so far.

Team Giada ends their presentation in a huddle, and it definitely seems like they had a more cohesive, comfortable show. The final show is Team Bobby with their Cooking for Kids challenge.

Nikki - Breakfast Pizza and Green Smoothie: Nikki always seems polished (as she'd call it) in her presentations, and this challenge is no different. When the clock starts ticking as she's blending her smoothie, however, everyone starts getting a little anxious about it. The judges liked her dishes and the concept of "mindful meals", but weren't overly impressed with her presentation.

Michele - Spaghetti Squash and Meatballs: Beginning by asking Guy if he's her brother, Michele gets a big laugh from the audience. She does well with her pitch, and the judges "felt there was a star on stage."

Malcolm - Chicken Tenders: Malcolm's idea of, basically, using the chicken tenders like paintbrushes is a good approach, but he regrets not mentioning his own fathering experience in his presentation. The judges agree with that - the dish went over great, but he didn't come off the way he should've.

When the kids are brought in at the end of the presentation, the only thing we know for sure is that Nikki's smoothie was NOT a favorite. Told ya so.

When it's time for judgment, there's a twist - since two teams did very well, the judges have decided that both of those teams will be safe from elimination. All chefs from the remaining team, however, will compete against one another. Team Giada and Team Bobby are declared safe, leaving Team Alton at risk.

The Producer Challenge for this episode challenges the chefs' ability to be versatile by throwing a dart to a map of the USA, then preparing a dish based on where the dart lands.

Judson goes first and lands in Arkansas, Justin gets Nebraska, Emily is in Arizona, and Martie ends up with Pennsylvania. (Also, I want to note that Alton has been calling Emily "Miss Ellyn" the entire episode and it wasn't until just now that I realized that was her last name. I thought I was calling her the wrong thing for the last month!)

After watching each of the chefs film his or her pitch with Alton's coaching, we head to the Pitch Room. Martie seemed to have the most difficulty shooting, but the Pitch Room may tell a different story:

Justin - Spaghetti Midwestern: Justin gets good reviews from the judges for his pitch, though it is suggested that he warm to the audience a little more.

Emily - Chicken Posole: Watching Emily's pitch is more uncomfortable for me than I would've expected. She has some good ideas that the judges also appreciate, but they're questioning her authenticity.

Martie - Stuffed Mushrooms: After all the rehearsal issues she had, Martie presented a decent pitch, but the judges criticized the overload of information she packed into the minute.

Judson - Pecan Encrusted Catfish: Once again, Judson is throwing out a new tagline - this one is "roadmap to flavor" - and while he's pretty proud of himself for being clever, the judges call him out for having "a little bit of a BS artist" in him. It becomes about his weight loss (again) and he starts pretty much crying about it (again).

Before they announce the eliminated chef, the judges declare both Justin and Emily safe, and rightfully so. Between the remaining two, we learn that Judson will be leaving the competition. And then he's crying. Again

I'm not surprised to see Judson go, though I wouldn't have been shocked to see Martie eliminated either. As the season moves forward, chefs will need to show some growth and focus - Judson and Martie have both had issues with that. As many times as she's been warned not to ramble, Martie still does, and as for Judson, he has spent five weeks searching for a POV.
Up to this point, the chefs up for elimination have been fairly predictable, but that will be changing before long. It's too bad Judson couldn't hone in on his specialty sooner - he could've made a significant move towards the top with interesting recipes if he had started there to begin with.

Online Previews Rizzoli & Isles 3x1 What Doesn't Kill You

The cable network has ordered 15 episodes, which will launch in summer 2012. Free Download Video Rizzoli & Isles 5th June 2012 Episode On TNT Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video. Online Watch Rizzoli & Isles Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV.The Angie Harmon-Sasha Alexander procedural has performed well on Monday nights at 10 p.m. in the ratings for TNT, which recently picked up a second season of Steven Spielberg's Falling Skies and greenlit the Dallas reboot. Rizzoli & Isles launched its sophomore season this summer with 8.6 million viewers.“This summer, Rizzoli & Isles has proven that last year’s record-breaking ratings were just the beginning of this show’s remarkable track record,” said Michael Wright, executive vice president and head of programming for TNT, TBS and Turner Classic Movies. “With a terrific cast, a top-notch production team and the kind of stories TNT fans crave, Rizzoli & Isles is poised to continue its success alongside blockbuster TNT series like The Closer and Falling Skies.”The hourlong drama will return with new episodes from its second season in November and December.Rizzoli & Isles follows Jane Rizzoli (Harmon), a tough Boston police detective, and Maura Isles (Alexander), a privileged medical examiner and their friendship/working relationship.This episode of Rizzoli and Isles starts out like something straight out of Dance Moms (yes, I watch that show, please don’t judge me). In “Don’t Stop Dancing, Girl” a mom is murdered backstage at a children’s dance show and immediately the suspects become some of the other mothers. Though there was jealousy over whose daughter danced better than the others, the ladies are innocent. Turns out said dance mom was on the run from her convicted felon husband, who came back for his daughter.

The theme of fathers and step-fathers ran throughout this episode. In addition to the main murder, there is also Korsak’s stepson, who has been arrested for shooting a police officer. A lot of people are giving Korsak dirty looks in the precinct as if it’s his fault, which I found interesting since some of those same people wanted to pull the “you have no legal rights” speech on him, too. Personally I felt bad Korsak had no rights, but at the same time I didn’t feel like he should be blamed for he kid’s behavior. Especially seeing how Korsak’s ex-wife kept Josh away from him five years.

In the end it turns out that Josh didn’t do it, which I predicted would happen but I still liked watching how it all played out. Getting this extra look into Korsak’s personal life has been interesting and I’m curious to see what’s going to happen now with him and his family.

My favorite bits..

Maura worrying about doing damage to an attacker’s eyes. Methinks she might be missing the point.

“By the time you’ve said ‘jab,’ the rapist has you in his guest house.”

Korsak picking up a tiny bra. Yeah, that was pretty embarrassing.

Finding out that Korsak still hadn’t seen his stepson yet. Beginning to dislike Melody more and more. Pitting a kid against a parent is so not cool.

Korsak getting the call telling him that his son had just shot a cop.

Maura asking Jane not to tell people that she’d been scanning headlines of tabloids.

Jane getting Maura to practice saying only ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ in reply to questions.

Jane arguing with Frost why dancers are athletes. I can’t believe he tried to say they weren’t. Race car drivers more than dancers? Really?

“Booty shorts are the gateway outfit.”

“Okay, just let me get my dancers warmed up.”
“Start stretching the legs or I’ll break them!”

Feeling so bad for Korsak when the guy collecting money for the injured cop turned away from him.

Knowing how much it hurt Korsak every time Josh called him “Vince.”

“I don’t have an MD or anything, but I’m pretty sure those are fingers.”

Maura immediately starting to cut off the victim’s face when Jane asked her to help them recreate what she looked like before surgery. I am so glad they stopped her.

Jane having to pull Korsak off of Josh. Yikes.

Our murder victim Denise, seemed like one of the normal ones, well that's if being in Witness Protection was normal. Unfortunately for her, her sister who ended up tortured and killed, her husband who got shot, and her now motherless daughter, Denise didn't follow the WITSEC rules.

There's a reason those exist. Obviously bad things happen when you don't.

When Maura started to peel the victims face off, I had to turn away. What was she planning on doing? Peeling off her face, removing the implants and then seeing what she looked like without them? That makes me cringe just thinking about it. Thank goodness for computer animation.

The other theme for the episode was fathers. Dakota's biological father was a murdering drug dealer while her step father took a bullet trying to protect her.

We even heard about Jane's father who seemingly dropped off the face of the earth after the divorce. Our first explanation for his disappearance all season was that he's now down in Florida…with his new girlfriend.  I can only imagine how Angela will react when she hears that news.

But the father/son story of the night was Korsak and his former stepson, Josh. To be honest, I wasn't thrilled with this one. I love Korsak but Josh came across more whiny than angry and abandoned. And I really need more information to understand why Melony would lie to her kid for years and keep the one man who loved him away while his biological father bailed. What did Korsak do that made her that angry. Writing it off as the stress of his job simply seemed too easy.

Online Previews The Real Housewives of Orange County 7x17 Monkey Business

The ladies head to Costa Rica in a jungle getaway that includes a zip-line adventure, Free Download Video The Real Housewives of Orange County 5th June 2012 Episode On Bravo Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video. Online Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV.shifting loyalties, erratic behavior (courtesy of Vicki) and a group intervention that calls out Alexis on her phony lifestyle.The bold adventurers of The Real Housewives of Orange County traveled to Costa Rica in Season 7, Episode 16, and it was less fun than a barrel of monkeys. Between Vicki Gunvalson’s desperate attempts to make everyone sing in rounds and a mean girl gang-up on Alexis Bellino, it was pretty clear that you can take ladies out of the OC, but you still shouldn’t start drinking jungle juice before lunch.As the ladies prepare for the next day’s zip-lining adventure, we learn there are rules in the jungle. “Don’t look like you’re going to the prom,” advises Vicki. Then she tells them all not to flirt. “No chitty chitty bang bang,” agrees Tamra. We also get a glimpse at a frenetic Vicki, who whines about Briana and Ryan eloping a little more. Heather advises her to let it go. There’s also a sneak peek of “Housewives vs. Alexis” when the ladies learn she’s going home early to take care of her kids. Because Heather has one more child than Alexis, she thinks the blonde could’ve had her husband, Jim, take care of them as Terry is doing. Also, Heather still can’t get over Alexis’s fake wedding ring, but we’re pretty sure elaborate jewelry wasn’t on Slade’s packing list.The next morning at the breakfast buffet, Tamra continues to find fault with Alexis. This time, it’s her safari hat. “Is Alexis a zoo keeper? What is she wearing?” Tamra asks, though to the camera, and not to Alexis’s face. Well, at least it’s a start. The women remember that they’ll need water, bug spray, and sunscreen when venturing into the jungle. Just kidding. All they care about is a flask for alcohol.

We find out the reason for the flask when their tour guide packs them into a Land Rover. “It’s definitely easier to deal with everyone with a bit of alcohol” says Tam. There’s a lot of shrieking during the car ride — including when they drive by an ox. While all the ladies (except Heather, naturally) are a little hyper, Vicki seems way more “woohoo” than usual. “Vicki needs to lay off the jungle juice,” says Heather. The insurance agent tries to get them all to play an alphabet game. “I’m going on a picnic, and I’m bringing my anus,” Vicki says, and everyone gasps. First of all, we hope so, but it’s part of the game, which no one sees up for playing. Everyone says say the word “vagina” about 30 times instead.

Diego and Jorge are the zip-line guides. For some reason, Jorge decides to braid Alexis’s hair, which makes her say “oh!” a lot. “If Jimmy the Chin-Chin could see her now,” says Tamra. Gretchen and Heather seem nervous, but Alexis says she’s fine with it. “If Alexis can do it, I can do it” Heather declares.

After Vicki “woohoos” her way across the zip-line, Alexis starts freaking out. “Push her off,” says Vicki from the opposite platform. She finally goes, with a little prodding from the guides. Gretchen thinks her friend is pulling a bit of damsel in distress act for dramatic effect.

Maybe there’s something about swaying from the tops of trees — or just the contents of their flask — but Vicki starts to act strangely. First, she mentions her high school boyfriend, Bob Tomato, and says she married her first husband instead because he possessed the rare combination of nice car and good butt. She’s talking fast, singing “Ring Around the Rosie,” and hopping from topic to topic; unfortunately, she still won’t give up on the picnic game. “Apples, bananas, and a gun. I’m gonna shoot myself if we keep playing this game,” says an unamused Gretchen. Everyone begs Vicki to be calmer and quieter. Then the jungle juice hits the fan when Tamra calls her a hypocrite for her saying “anus.” Apparently it’s fine for Vicki to say the word as part of the sacred “Picnic Game,” but it’s not okay for Tam and Gretch to say it any other time. Tamra then dictionaries Vicki on the meaning of the word hypocrite. There’s a lot of the usual shrill exchange of words, and Tamra thinks Vicki needs to be medicated. It seems like the battle lines are drawn as the ladies dress for dinner. Gretchen visits Alexis, who says there’s an “underlying tension” between her and Heather because of the “phony” comment. Meanwhile, Tamra and Heather strategize about what to say to Alexis, and the brunette says she’ll defend Terry. “And if not, we’ll kill the b***h,” says Tamra. “Oh, dear,” frets Heather and the viewers.

Dinner is really awkward, and even Heather’s appreciation for the restaurant’s punny name — Claro Que Seafood — can’t save the conversation. Luckily, Vicki hasn’t arrived, so they can all gossip about her bizarre behavior. When she does sit, Vicki jumps right back into her babbling. “Let’s sing the Mary Poppins song,” she suggests. Despite everyone’s raised eyebrows, Vicki seems content. Basically, she tells everyone that she’s finally happy and doesn’t care if people like it or not. She’s in her happy place.

Meanwhile, Gretchen is still visibly bummed about her fight with Slade, but she has to keep her mouth shut so her friends don’t bash him. Speaking of Slade, he and the rest of the men are going out to dinner back in the OC. Alexis says she doesn’t know if Jim was invited, but she says he wouldn’t go anyway because of what Terry said about her. Mixing her metaphor with a sucky Christmas gift swap, Alexis says there’s a white elephant in the room.

Though both would have preferred to talk about it when they were alone, Alexis and Heather discuss Terry’s “phony” comment. “He is a harmless guy, and I’m sorry you had to hear about it that way,” says Heather but points out that Alexis went after him at Tamra’s Bunco party.

The conversation quickly expands to include everyone at the table. “You tend to look very materialistic,” Tamra says. “When you have it, you don’t need to talk about it,” Heather instructs, then admits she saw Alexis and Jim long before meeting them. According to Heather, Alexis, Jim, and their son were at Nordstrom, having a conversation about shoes. In Heather’s opinion, Jim was loud and proud about getting the most expensive shoes.

“I don’t think God likes lying,” says Tamra to the camera, before implying that Alexis might go to hell for some of the things she says. Yikes. Gretchen tells Alexis some things she does are very pretentious and sometimes come across as demeaning. At first, Vicki says she wants nothing to do with the conversation, then she quickly jumps in to say that she probably has more money than Alexis and offers some unsolicited financial advice. Instead of spending money on multiple cars, Alexis and Jim should be putting it in the bank. Alexis tells her firing squad that it’s no one’s business what she does with her money and says Tamra, who came into a jungle with a Louis Vuitton handbag, is one to talk.

Online Previews Dance Moms 3x1 The Battle Begins

We're in dance withdrawal over here at Wetpaint Entertainment, Free Download Video Dance Moms 5th June 2012 Episode On Lifetime Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video. Online Watch Dance Moms Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV. so we've been checking out Lifetime's Dance Moms to fill the void. Don't judge!If you're hooked on the sequins and not afraid to admit it, check out last night's finale recap for Season 1, Episode 12: "There's Only One Star."At the end of last week's episode, we learned that even though winning multiple titles at Nationals felt like the grand finale Glee's never seen, we still have one more golden hour of our favorite new obsession tonight.And, honestly, we're psyched. Could this show be any more addictive? Yay for a second season pick-up!Anyway, Abby jets the girls back to Los Angeles, where she surprises them by nixing the pyramid for the week and instead putting their adorable headshots in a straight line across the board. Aww, because they're all winners, right? Not exactly.Actually, it's because in L.A. talent is irrelevant and it's all about luck. Right. For a second there we actually thought Abby was going to make all the girls feel special ... we're so silly.So, the big treat is that the girls are auditioning for a real-life Hollywood music video. (Man, they sure are casting them younger and younger, huh?In preparation, Abby works on a hip-hop routine with the dancers, as she predicts that genre be a huge part of the audition. Little Mackenzie observes, "Abby is funny looking when she tries to do hip hop." Seriously, if this show were just an hour of Mackenzie talking into the confessional cam, we'd still watch it.Meanwhile, Maddie is worried because she's "not very good" at hip hop. What? Maddie not good at something? Impossible!The competition is fierce, but all of Abby's dancers are cast as a girl dance group in an up-and-coming pop star's upcoming video. Cue the glass-shattering shrieking.OK, fine, we may have let out a yelp or two ourselves.Yay, so they are finally all winners, right? Not exactly. Turns out that even though all of the mini-rinas will be in the video, there's only room for one super-special star. And, once again, the competish is on!

After learning the dance for the video shoot, with only one small hiccup (Mackenzie bursting into tears and begging her mom to not make her go back in there), the whole gang enjoyed a fun day of mother-daughter bonding, where the moms got their girls nice and hoochied up for their screen tests.

Then, the competish really started to heat up (between the moms, of course). Chloe was sent to a local acting coach to brush up on her dramatic skills, while Maddie clocked in extra rehearsal time at the studio.

Meanwhile, Maddie's mother was determined to do whatever it took to get Maddie that lead, which included rendezvousing with the video's producer. Ugh, is it just us or was Melissa trying to flirt with him? Needless to say, the other moms were less than impressed when they got wind of their little coffee date.

Later at rehearsal, Mackenzie breaks down again, insisting she can't do it and she's not ready. Luckily, both her mother and Abby are on hand to basically tell her to suck it up already and get back to work.

In true future-diva fashion, Mackenzie mugs at the camera, explaining, "I just cry sometimes; it's no big deal." Like, whatever.Next, the girls get to meet Lux, the supposed rising pop star whose video they're shooting. (We've never heard of her, but hey, maybe we're just not hip enough?)

Anyway, it turns out that the "star" of the video will actually be Lux back in the day, so a mini-Lux, if you will. Oho, now the tables have turned, indeed!

Sure, Maddie seems to have the upper hand because of her mother's brown-nosing and because even we can admit that the kid is amazing.

But here's the kicker: Maddie looks nothing like Lux. What's more, Lux is a dead ringer for Chloe in 10 years! Could this finally be Chloe's opportunity to beat her archrival?On the bottom this week are: Chloe (“You need a challenge,” says Abby. “I need to light a fire under her butt.”), Nia (“You have the style and the sass but the rest of it is a mess.”), and Paige (“You did your job. I want more.”)

In the middle are Mackenzie (“You continue to improve. I don’t want it to be all about your gymnastics.”) and Brooke (“Watch the chin in the chin-stand, no more hickies.”). Maddie’s at the top for the zillionth time in a row.

There’s going to be a scout from the — oh wow, has there ever been a more glaring error in a voice edit? We see Abby, she’s talking, clear as she possibly can in her throaty, scrape-y voice to the girls about what’s coming up this week. And as soon as the camera moves away from her, we hear a different Abby. A tired, sick Abby who has lost her voice entirely, and makes words come out of her mouth by summoning all of the saliva lingering at the back of her throat, thrusting it forward, and making shapes with her lips. Egads.

Anywho, this week there will be a scout from the Joffrey Ballet scouting kids to go to an audition. “Its reputation is unparalleled,” says Christi.

Abby describes the group dance for this week’s Michigan competition: “This is a message about our body image, people that do have work done.” Maddie makes a grossed-out face. There will be two trios, a sort of Varsity and Junior Varsity separation. Mackenzie, Paige and Nia will do a high-energy jazz routine. Kelly is all, “Paige is being downgraded.” Now Brooke, Maddie and Chloe will be the heavily favored trio team vs. the feisty underdogs.

“I don’t understand why she was in the bottom,” says Christi, referring to her lovely Chloe. And we agree. Chloe is a beautiful dancer, and now that we’re nearing the final stretch of our journey with the Dance Moms this season, it’s time to “get real,” which is reality TV speak for “be honest.” Chloe and Maddie are stars. Nia will not be a professional dancer. She can star in the Glee remake on The CW in 2025 as the dark and moody shy girl with the big stage personality.

As an odd explanation for why Abby is having the girls do a plastic surgery-inspired group dance, she says, “I keep hearing the moms talk about the ‘work’ they want to have done,” says Abby.
