How To Get Away With Murder Season 1 Episode 12 recap.

Well. Now we’re moving things along. It’s coming fast and furious, revelations about each of the Mouseketeers, greater insight into Annalise, and, inexplicably, the best case of the week we’ve seen yet.

So.

For w…      

Taylor Swift loves the number 13. And since it’s Friday the 13th, she just dropped the video for Style, easily one of the best, if not the best, songs on the 1989 album. Also, not surprisingly, she’s wearing shorts.

I love Style. So I was really, really looking forward to this. To…      

I’ve gone this whole time without ever knowing that Charlie Hunnam is a cat person. This makes me see him in a whole new light. I like him more now too, inexplicably. I love dogs and cats – I grew up with cats for the most part and now I’m a dog-mom (my fur-baby is 100 pounds of puppy). I’m just saying, I don’t have any particular loyalty to dogs or cats, only cuteness. So why do I like Hunnam so much more now that I know he’s a cat person? I guess it’s just because I love it when big, tough men are openly in love with cats. It’s charming, right? Anyway, Hunnam discussed his cat and much more in a new interview with The Kit – you can read the full piece here. Some highlights:

Hunnam on nudity: “I think I grew up in an environment where we weren’t particularly shy of nudity. My mum was always walking around in the house naked and I spent a bunch of time with my aunt growing up—she was sort of like my second mum— she was walking around the house naked, too. Over the years I suppose I have become very comfortable with taking my clothes off for the camera. It never really bothers me.”

His favorite scents: “Calvin Klein Reveal…I suppose if I don’t go with Calvin Klein Reveal, my other most common scent is Eau de Marijuana. I don’t want to be misunderstood—I don’t smoke marijuana personally, I just occasionally walk through a cloud of it, which is common in Los Angeles, and the smell sticks to one’s clothing.”

What kind of scent he likes on the ladies: “I really like perfume on girls, but I also like just something natural. You know, women smell pretty fantastic.”

Other favorite scents: “This might sound completely weird, but my favourite smell in the world is my cat, George. My cat smells so f–king good. If he’s been curled up in a ball for a while and asleep—his little chest just smells so good.”

Eau de Sleeping Kitty? That’s adorable. If you couldn’t tell, Charlie did this interview on behalf of his Calvin Klein contract. Which is smart, because now I want to know what Calvin Klein Reveal smells like on his skin. While he’s holding George. And who names their cat “George”?!? Of course, this is coming from a person who once named a cat Zelda.

Proud mom Jessica Simpson shared a sweet snapshot with her 2-year-old daughter Maxwell via Instagram Thursday.

“Maxi loves wearing her daddy’s t-shirts after bath…just like her momma,” the mom-of-two, 34, captioned the black and white selfie.

In another shot, the singer-actress-entrepreneur is seen promoting her shoe line’s Spring 2015 ad campaign. Posing on the jagged cliffs in Sedona, Arizona, Simpson looks lovely in a beaded gown.

“Sedona vibes for Spring ’15,” she wrote.

Simpson – who is also mom to 1-year-old son Ace with husband Eric Johnson – recently shared another shot of her gorgeous girl sporting shades.

Did I mention I got another job? I’m still blogging here, of course. And working as a reporter for etalk and one of the hosts of The Social. Now though I’m also a monthly columnist for FLARE Magazine. My first column is featured in the new issue and it’s about selfies, specifica…      

Judging solely from the commercials and clips I occasionally see on E! News, I think Brandi Glanville is having a tough season on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She used to be seen as the fun one, then she was the drama queen, then the drunk, and now it just seems like everyone is raging at her and she’s raging back. I’ll come back to this in a moment, but let’s just say, for argument’s sake, that Brandi isn’t super-happy on RHOBH these days. Would she really leave a paying gig? Apparently, she would. Brandi told In Touch Weekly that she’s starting to wonder if she will stay with the show much longer.

Brandi Glanville is over The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

“I’m not sure how much longer I have on that show,” Brandi tells the new issue of ‘In Touch.’ “Maybe it’s not for me anymore.”

Brandi, who joined the cast in 2011, hasn’t made a decision yet — but if she does quit, she has a surprising replacement in mind: LeAnn Rimes!

“She could be good at it,” Brandi says of the 32-year-old who married her ex-hubby, Eddie Cibrian. “Maybe it’ll be her next thing.”

[From In Touch Weekly]

That’s funny, suggesting LeAnn for the show. Brandi is so Machiavellian sometimes. Putting LeAnn on a show like Real Housewives would be such a catastrophe of epic proportions – everyone would see what an unhinged stalker LeAnn is. Which is just what Brandi wants. Now, as for Brandi… I wonder if this is more of an angle to get more money. Is her contract being renegotiated or something? Because while I don’t watch RHOBH, Brandi is the only one on that show with her own loyal gossip-following. People care about Lisa Vanderpump and Kyle Richards, but Brandi has crafted her own gossip-brand and gossip-persona much more than any other Real Housewife.

As for all the drama this season, apparently Yolanda Foster asked Brandi point-blank if she (Brandi) was an alcoholic. Brandi says she is not. Brandi also wrote a lengthy Bravo post about addiction and whether calling someone an addict should be a “negative label” or an “insult.” She writes in part:

Addiction is not a negative label, and it’s not an insult. It’s being used by some people to label others in a negative light, which I find distasteful and shameful. It’s wrong and discriminatory to view an addict as a bad or somehow a lesser person. Addiction is serious and shouldn’t be tossed around lightly to diminish others or as a slur or to create dramatic effect or bring attention to the speaker.

[From Bravo]

It’s possible to agree with Brandi and say that we shouldn’t throw the word “addict” as a go-to pejorative. It’s also possible to believe that Brandi does have some alcohol abuse problems, you know? Does Brandi want to quit RHOBH just because people think she’s an alcoholic?

Reality star Kim Kardashian made a memorable appearance Thursday (February 12) at New York Fashion Week with her favorite accessory — her daughter North West.

The 20-month-old tot attended papa Kanye West‘s Yeezus For Adidas show. After arriving early and playing a game of chase, the famous toddler was then seen sitting on mom’s knee next to Vogue editor Anna Wintour and pop superstar Beyoncé as they all waited for the fashion show.

But in true toddler form, Nori started acting her age and threw a temper tantrum.

Nori squirmed and squealed on her mom’s lap, and Wintour kept a hilariously straight poker face while stiffly move her body away from the tantruming toddler.

Kardashian’s momager, fellow reality star Kris Jenner, couldn’t help but laugh about the situation via Instagram.

“Best pic, AHAHAHAH North got a little fussy waiting for Daddy’s Show to start!!! We took her backstage for a snack right after this but just had to share…love the patience of @beyonce #AnnaWintour @kimkardashian #NYFW #YeezySeason #mommymoment,” she captioned the image of her granddaughter throwing a tantrum in the front row.

Mom Kim – who wore a brown, see-through body suit and khaki jacket from her husband’s collection – quickly took Nori backstage before returning to her seat.

The famous family were joined by other stars in the front row, including Jay-Z, Rihanna, Cassie, and P. Diddy, who rocked a fur vest and Timberland boots.

And did you see Nori’s posh duds the day before? Reportedly, the toddler rocked a $3,500 fur coat paired with Doc Martens.

Scandal Season 4 Episode 12 recap

Well, this is one of those oxymorons that happens on television. “How do we make a kidnapping fun to watch?” Lots of moving parts, a hell of a lot of booze, a body count…

This episode was more of an Ocean’s Eleven roundup of how y…      

A little over a week ago, news came out that Nicole Scherzinger and Formula One racecar driver Lewis Hamilton had split after a rocky on-off romance spanning over seven years. If Star is to be believed, Nicole isn’t letting any grass grow under her feet. The tabloid claims that she’s been “hanging out” with also-single Nick Cannon, who is in the process of divorcing Mariah Carey. This new romance is said to anger Carey, who has “always hated Nicole.”

Nicole [Scherzinger], 36, has been secretly hanging out with Nick Cannon, 34, and sources say his ex-wife, Mariah Carey, is having none of it. “She’s always hated Nicole,” a source tells Star, who adds the former Pussycat Dolls singer had a brief fling with Nick before he wed Mariah in 2008. “She’s very possessive and still thinks of him as her property.” But despite the 44 year-old singer’s protests, Nick is going ahead with the romance. “He’s really been there for Nicole during her breakup.”

[From Star Magazine, print edition, February 23, 2015]

Star goes on to say that Nick and Nicole (that has a cute ring to it) have to be apart for now because Nicole is currently in Cats in London (that show is still playing live?) and he’s stateside. They are said to “constantly flirt via Skype.”

Fame-wise, these two are about at the same level so they make sense to me. Plus they look really cute together, don’t they? I would love to see them officially couple up, but this may fizzle out fast. Also, Mariah is surely still protective of Nick, but I bet she’ll hook up with some young dancer type and get over it. That’s the next step for her, although it will probably be hard for her to find a lover that’s as sycophantic as she requires. J.Lo and Madonna did it, but Mariah is beyond.
