LOVE & HIP HOP HOLLYWOOD 206: Miles Almost Comes Out To Amber

love hip hop hollywood 206 miles almost comes out 2015 imagesSome hot button topics in our community get hit hard on this episode of “Love and Hip Hop Hollywood,” and they are going all the way in.

Princess talks about her future as she moves out of Ray T’s house.  Since they decided to break up, she is excited and is ready for what life will bring her.

Hazel’s music career is “on fire “as she shows off her new crib in the hills (Kat Williams must be treating her well). She and Teairra Marie converse on her porch and she tells her about what happened with Jason Lee at lunch with Nikki. TM laughs but in her confession, she says that he is wrong. TM then tells her about her fake friendship with Princess. She feels like she has every right to play her because of how she and Ray J humiliated her last year.

Princess tells Apryl that she found out TM is a rat and plans to confront her about it.  She says that whatever goes down when she tells her about herself is just what goes dow.

Brandi and Nikki have a stretching session in the park and Brandi reveals that things are not going good with her and Max so she is focusing on her friends. Awwww. Nikki tells her about what happened with Jason Lee at lunch as well and how Kamiyah went off on her and Fizz at his house. Brandi is not having it (on both situations), and is about to shut that shit down because you know, she is a fire starter and not afraid to get into it. Nikki invites her to a pampering event and lets her know that Jason will be there too. Hmmm, this should be good.

Miles records a video for his first video “West Coast” and his rapper persona is in TOTAL contrast of his real lifestyle. He is so torn up about what happened between Milan and him that he can’t even concentrate on his video shoot. In the meantime, Milan is doing a photo shoot himself, on the beach in the nude and doesn’t take his calls. Along with dealing with Milan, Miles feels bad about leading on Amber. So in order for him to get everything out in the open with her, he finds a couple’s therapist, so that he can come out to her. She is in for a rude awakening.

In preparation of his convo with Amber is goes to church and spends some time alone. He knows telling Amber is telling the world.

Amber is excited about their upcoming meeting. She has lunch with her sister Angel and tells her “I love him… this is not a walk in the park… not a prom date.” Miles is always there, she loves him with everything and he is [like] the father of his child. Her sister tells her to “open your eyes baby I know you love him…” Amber tells her that they have been talking about counseling and they have a session so that should be a good sign.

Will talks about his issues with his ex-manager because apparently, his issues with his current record label (and the co-owner Harry), are worse than he has been letting on. He reveals that his wife, Shanda, doesn’t really know where they are financially. He asks his friend if he can come his way and he tells Willie, “you have to be out of that situation… I can’t even bring you over here.” Willie you have some work to do.

He gets a chance to meet with Harry and explains to him the pressure he is under. Harry listens to him and tells him that they can come up with a plan, which is not good enough for Willie. He asked to get out of his contract and Harry is taken aback as he wasn’t expecting that.

Nikki and Brandi are at her branding event and Jason and Kamiyah show up. He extends his hand to Brandi and she doesn’t shake it. “I heard about you.” She calls him Sponge Bob on Steroids (hilarious). She has zero tolerance and goes in on him and he tells Nikki “I’m not going to talk to your little Chihuahua. Ugh… He is so messy. Brandi throws water in his face, Nikki tells him he’s wrong and it all just blows up too quickly. Kamiyah remains quite but only for a second and it turns a four way screaming match

The day comes for TM and princess to meet. Princess has Apryl and her girls and TM has Moniece, who does not like either one of them. Princess asks TM if she has been in contact with Ray and the bitch confirms it. All Princess can say is, “Typical.” TM tells her that she had it coming for what she did with Ray. Seriously, TM trick get over it. You have no idea how bad you look and over what, some dude? They go back and forth, Princess gets a good hit in on her and they are separated by the crew.

Things calm down a little but TM is on fire. Princess just wants to get to the bottom of everything but TM is just all kinds of ratchet, she spits at the girl. Nasty ass.

In the end, the time comes for Miles to tell Amber. He actually breaks down crying when the therapist asks him to go over with her what he will say to Amber as she hasn’t arrived yet.

But we have to wait until next week to find out what happens and from the previews, it does not look good … but does it.

Rebecca Wins? SHE’S GOT GAME Finale Recap

Rebecca Wins shes got game finale 2015 imagesIt’s the finale of She’s Got Game, and it really is all or nothing, at least according to these ladies. It is the final day and The Game has to make a decision- who will be his new woman. The prize doesn’t seem so worth it after everything these ladies went through, but as they say, every broken down shoe has his match somewhere.

The Game brings the girls’ moms to the house and they are overwhelmed with joy. The girls spend time with their mothers and fill them in on what has been going on. Shyona’s mom is not playing as she is “hard core.” Game is going to have to convince her that he’s good enough for her daughter.

Rebecca tells her mom how she feels about the other girls. Her mom is “a real Christian woman” so it is going to be really hard for Game to impress her. Rebecca realizes how much she loves Game as she speaks to her mother. She is convinced that she and Game will be a family.

Game spends time with the moms alone and Shyona is nervous about “what’s about to happen.” They girl go off to get their “nails done” while their moms have lunch with their man. He wants their mothers to know that their daughters are in good hands. He tells them that he hasn’t slept with their daughters. He tells them that he needs love and support because he wants to be an open book to the girls’ moms about who he is and where he’s from.

Briona is worried because her mother is just like her, therefore she doesn’t know what she will say. During Game’s lunch, Briona’s mom pretty much paints her as a child, which we all know she is, not on purpose but because she probably has nothing else to say about her. Rebecca’s mom drops some knowledge on him about what holds a relationship together- love.

After speaking with them, he goes to get the girls and Briona is on pins and needles. The girls walk them out and go back in to meet with Game again, because surprise, he is eliminating one of them right now. “We’re at a point were somebody has to go home.” It is a hard decision because “no one is missing anything.” He sends home, nonetheless, Briona. Thank God! But this bitch says, “Game picking older women didn’t work from his before and won’t work for him now. He’ll be back.” Um… ugh… just shut up. I knew it would be down to these two.

So now he is going to take each girl out on a yacht for one final date. Things aren’t going the great because of the weather on his date with Rebecca. The water is tumultuous and Game is feeling queasy. The stewardess gives him a pill, which knocks him out. Super whack.

Rebecca tries to occupy herself in the hot tub but can’t stand not being able to talk to him. She wakes him up (it’s dark now) and they spend the rest of the night together, but Game knows he has some making up to do.

The next day he has his date with Shyona and the weather is better than the day before. They have a good connection for sure it is more natural than with Rebecca, BUT I still do favor her over Shyona.

Back at the house, Lisa Raye pays a visit to Rebecca who is feeling a certain kind of way about Game being on the date with Shyona. She is nervous because she feels that Game likes Shyona just as much as he does her but in a different kind f way. Which I understand. Rebecca is too intense sometimes I think with him. To him, Shyona is pretty perfect.

Game is very torn about who to pick. Lolo and Lisa Raye join him on the boat him and give him advice on why each one lady is better for him. Lolo talks about Shyona’s confidence and not being jealous which is what he needs with his life style. Lisa Raye says that’s all bullshit because a woman who is really down for you will not be okay with other chicks all up on her man and her girl, Rebecca, is just that. Even with their advice, he is still undecided.

Everything happens on the yacht and Shyona and Rebecca look amazing. During the confessional, they both say why they believe they are the best for Game and mention why the other is not. Shyona throws major shade at Rebecca calling her “weak minded.”

Game asks the girls why they love him and they give their Miss America answers.  He gets choked up and walks away, “I’m not going to choose.” They are shocked. He finally returns and Shyona tells him they deserve to know. And the lucky lady is Rebecca.

Shyona is pissed off, “How dare you do that to me?” Um do what, Shy? You knew this was how it would end, you just thought it’d be you boo.

He picked my favorite and I called it from the beginning.

Khloe Kardashian Rubbed Wrong & Taylor Swift Defends Thai Guy Calvin Harris

khloe kardashian rubbed wrong by amy schumer 2015 gossipWhile comedian Amy Schumer was quick to win over the affection of many prevalent stars in Hollywood with her humor – such as Jennifer Lawrence and the Bachelorette Kaitlyn Bristowe – she unfortunately rubbed Khloe Kardashian the wrong way.

Amy was recently a guest on Saturday Night Live, where she poked fun at Khloe Kardashian’s recent weight loss in one of her skits. In the skit, Amy said, “We used to have Khloe. Khloe was ours, right? Whenever there’s a group of women, you identify with one of them, right? … Khloe, she lost half her body weight. She lost a Kendall, and we have nothing.”

And while Amy may have said it all in good fun, it apparently didn’t sit well with Khloe. On Sunday, the reality star took to Twitter to post her feelings about Amy’s comments, saying, “No need 2 tear down others just 2 make urself feel bigger. It actually makes u quite small. I’m on a healthy journey. I don’t care 4the hate.”

She went on to say, “Lets uplift one another!!! Happy Sunday! Stay smiling!”

Khloe Kardashian, Twitter post:

Amy’s skit was referring to Khloe’s loss of over 35 pounds. The Keeping Up with the Kardashian star was also featured in Complex magazine, where she posed amongst gym equipment and emphasized her incredibly toned figure.

Considering Khloe is the resident jokester amongst the Kardashian clan, it is surprising that she couldn’t take a joke this time around.

taylor swift defends her thai guy calvin harris 2015 gossipUnfortunately, even Taylor Swift can’t fend off the tabloid stories.

Media outlet Radar Online published a story claiming that the 1989 star broke up with her boyfriend Calvin Harris after seeing pictures of him leaving a sketchy-looking Thai massage parlor.

The site went on to say that Taylor was in shock and disgusted by Calvin’s parlor visit. It also claims that Calvin is a regular at the facility, saying that he even has his own “masseuse, on staff.”

Radar reported that Taylor gave Calvin the “boot” about a week ago.

However, it looks like Taylor and Calvin are just victims of another falsified story, as the Irish DJ took to Twitter to express his outrage with the accusations.

Calvin threatened, “It’s not going to be a ‘happy ending’ for everyone I sue for defamation of character for all these bulls—t stories bye bye”

Calvin Harris, Twitter post:

In addition, Taylor’s publicist Tree Paine also shot down the tabloid lie, posting to twitter: “I’ve said it before and I’m saying it again, do not believe Radar Online.”

Tree Paine, Twitter post:

At this point, Taylor Swift has not commented on the accusations, but it seems like she won’t be writing any new breakup songs just yet. If an upcoming song talks about someone who rubbed her the wrong way…well that could Calvin then…

NFL Week 5 Winners & Losers

0

nfl week 5 winners losers odell beckham 2015 imagesFive weeks into the 2015 NFL season and we still have six undefeated teams. Atlanta, Green Bay, Denver, Carolina, New England, and Cincinnati have yet to taste defeat. I am betting on Carolina getting their first loss next week when they head to Seattle though, and my Falcons will not have an easy time in New Orleans on a short week of practice.

The Patriots look like the best team in the League, the Pack is beatable, and Cincy is fortunate to have gotten over on the Seahawks on Sunday. Denver must have the best defense in the NFL or else they would have a couple of losses already.

Besides these top five teams there were many more winners in week five, not to mention all the losers….looking right at you Matthew Stafford. What happened to this Lions team over the off season?

nfl top qb passing 2015 imagesNFL Grown Man of the Week: Philadelphia’s Fletcher Cox racked three sacks and forced a couple of fumbles, recovering one himself. That is how to wreck a QB’s day. That kind of disruption will make any quarterback in the League look average at best, like Kaepernick at worst.

NFL Child of the Week: Tyrod Taylor came back after a rough hit to throw a long ball that set up his Bills’ winning touchdown. Taylor is not perfect by any stretch, but has the grit and tools to be a formidable starter for several years in Buffalo.

Winner: Odell Beckham helped his Giants to a win over lowly San Francisco on SNF, even though he apparently hurt himself during a TD celebration. He had 121 yards and a TD.

Loser: Matthew Stafford who has engineered an 0-5 start got benched in the third quarter as Arizona was laying the wood to the Lions.

nfl week 5 rushing leader 2015 imagesWinner: Andy Dalton is still rolling, leading his Bengals to a big win over Seattle after being down 17 in this game. The Bengals are for real and Dalton is playing as well as anyone right now. Don’t expect me to pick them come playoff time, but in the moment I am impressed.

Loser: Ameer Abdullah. Kid might want to get a grip….on the damn football. Two fumbles are not helping him win over his coaching staff. That may be irrelevant since it looks like they are trying to get fired themselves with this 0-5 start they have constructed.

Winner: Devonta Freeman went out and saved the Falcons again on Sunday versus a game Washington team. Julio Jones was not himself with a hammy issue. Matt Ryan was not impressive most of the game with three turnovers. But there Freeman was again every time Atlanta needed a first down. Kid had 153 yards and scored a go ahead touchdown with just 24 seconds left in a game that eventually went to overtime.

Loser: Kirk Cousins had a nice game, but still ended up on the losing end in Atlanta. He found the open man all game long in the Georgia Dome, but threw a pick six in overtime after his receiver slipped. A walkoff TD was a bad way to end a good outing for the Skins’ starter.

Winner: Julian Edelman is the new Wes Welker. He racked another 120 yards and a score in the Patriots whipping of what used to be America’s team, Dallas.

Loser: Jamaal Charles may be out the rest of 2015 as he injured his knee against the Bears on Sunday. According to Andy Reid it is a torn ACL, but an MRI is scheduled for Monday to confirm.

nfl week 5 receiving yard leaders 2015 imagesWinner: Thomas Rawls had a monster day in relief of Marshawn Lynch who was not available against the Bengals. He toted the rock for 169 yards and one TD in a losing effort for Seattle.

Winner: Daily Fantasy Sports. DraftKings and FanDuel had more entries than any previous week this year despite the controversy last week from employees playing DFS on rival sites…and winning big in one recent contest.

Loser: The Houston defense could not even stop a 72 year QB. Matt Hasselbeck looked like a 30-year old out there and even revived Andre Johnson for a game at least. Houston is a complete mess and Ryan Mallet’s sideline pouting was a perfect fit for what’s going on there.

Winner: Josh McCown had the biggest day of all the QBs on Sunday, racking up 457 yards that should silence most Manziel chants at least for a couple weeks. McCown led Cleveland to a 33-30 win over division foe Baltimore to get the Browns to 2-3 on the year.

Loser: Todd Gurley had another big rushing game, but his Rams were blown out versus the Packers. Gurley is the only offense the Rams have right now and will need to finish off runs with trips to the end zone if they are to get wins this year. He had 159 yards but no touchdowns.

No Reality For Amber Rose or Blac Chyna & No Trumping For President Obama

The Monday rumor mill is steadily turning and there are so interesting things going on in the celebrity world. The Kardashian clan can breath better now that Amber Rose and Blac Chyna have cancelled their reality show, Scarface was arrested after BET’s, Raven Symoné’s forced View apology, and there’s no Trumping for President Obama.

amber rose blac chyna cancel reality show 2015 gossipAmber Rose and Blac Chyna Cancels Reality Show… And Their Friendship?

I must admit, I really did think this would happen. I was looking forward to the Kardashian’s arch nemeses’ having their own reality TV show and bringing all the ratchet goodness to TV because, ya know, we just don’t have enough of it. Alas, it looks like that will not be happening any time soon.

Reports say that Amber Rose and Blac Chyna will not be doing their reality TV show after all and the reason they give is that they are both too damn busy.  Of course all of this has prompted rumors that the two, who found a common enemy in Kim and her crew, are on the ousts and that’s why their show fell through. But sources say, according to Holywoodlife.com, that’s not the case… kind of.

“They are still friends… They were the only ones that were there for each other before the Slut Walk. Amber is not going to be hypocritical and not be friends with the one person who never did anything bad to her.”

Not totally sure what that means but it sounds like there could be beef brewing and you know how much we all love beef.

scarface arrested after bet award 2015 gossipScarface Arrested Right After Receiving BET Award

Life really is unpredictable. One night you are getting an award for your accomplishments in hip-hop and moments later, the very same night, you’re being arrested.

Music man Scarface’s celebration of receiving the BET 2105 “I am Hip Hop” award was cut incredibly short when right after saying his ‘thank yous’ on stage, he was arrested by Fulton County Police Sheriff for failing to make his child support payments

“There was a sheriff waiting to arrest him backstage…Literally, he walked off the stage holding his awards and handcuffs were put on him.”

That’s some cold shit. I mean did they have to do it right then and there though? Apparently, the 44-year-old musician’s bail is set at just a little under $500,000.

raven symone apologized for ghetto names 2015 gossipRaven Symoné Feels Sting of “Ghetto Names Discrimination… Apologizes

It is so crazy how life works and with Raven Symoné, the crazy never seems to stop. By know we all know about her comments on The View in which she pretty much said that she would not hire anyone with a ghetto ass, “black” sounding name. Well her father has weighed in on the situation and she has also given an apology.

In an open letter posted on Sunday, her dad Christopher B. Pearman, gave his opinion about the situation and how his daughter continually speaks out of turn.

“There has been much talk today about my daughters comments on her show’ The View.’ … This woman is grown, has her own management team, has her own opinions, right or wrong, and is responsible for her own words and actions.” Raven is a really Beautiful, Sweethearted, Human Being. I should know. Her Mother and I Love her Very much and will always support her and have her back. Even if sometimes she says some dumb S#%T!”

Along with setting the record straight on his part, Raven gave her own comments about the situation in which she recognized her lack of understanding.

“My comments about discrimination have spun out of control… “I have been denied many jobs because of my skin color, body size, and age… Each time I was rejected, my self-esteem was negatively effected, so I empathize with those who feel victimized by what I said… My comment was in poor taste. My lack of empathy towards name discrimination was uncalled for.”

What she had to say in way of addressing her own blinded point of view was not good enough for some people, who consider it a “half assed” apology. Personally I think that it was right on. It was thought through and it was appropriate. It felt sincere.

Sometimes, no matter what you do, you just can’t win.

Editor’s Note: While it’s great that Curvy Girl Diva is forgiving, our Shanka Cheryl dug deep for the real dirt on this and her sources over at The View confirmed that the apology Raven Symone put out was actually from the show’s Executive Producers. “It was either lose your job or put this out ASAP,” her sources told her. “Raven had no intention of apologizing, which she rarely does, but money always talks.”

president obama with donald trump 2015 gossipPresident Obama Has Faith in America… Doesn’t Think Trump Will Be President

When you hold the head office in United States of America, you can’t always say what you want, but sometimes, “protocol” goes out the window and you just have to tell the truth.

“I think that he [Donald Trump] is a great publicity-seeker and at a time when the Republican party hasn’t really figured out what it’s for, as opposed to what it’s against… I don’t think he’ll end up being president of the United States.”
President Obama made these comments during his recent 60 Minutes interview about presidential hopeful Donald Trump who leads the republican support amongst voters. Obama keeps it real and political by saying that what Trump has tapped into a “genuine anti-immigrant sentiment in the large portion of at least Republican primary voters” and reminds all of us about a fact that many too often forget – Trump is a reality TV character  so it’s “not surprising that he’s gotten a lot of attention.”
There you have it.

Reminiscing Brendan Rodgers’ Time at Liverpool

0

reminiscing brendan rodgers liverpool soccer 2015 imagesAfter eight rounds of games in the 2015/16 season of the Premier League, Liverpool have a tally of 12 points, with three wins as many draws and two defeats. They sit tenth in the league standings. In their last league fixture before the ongoing international break Brendan Rodgers led his side into the Merseyside derby against fierce rivals Everton at Goodison Park and after taking the lead through a Danny Ings strike, the scores were levelled just before half time courtesy of a Romelu Lukaku goal.

The points were shared by the blue and red half of Merseyside. And it also marked the last time Rodgers will be seen on the Liverpool bench.

The Northern Irishman was on the brink for a long time and for many it came as a surprise that he was allowed to continue at Liverpool despite their 6-1 shellacking at the hands of Stoke City in the last game of the previous season. He didn’t enjoy a particularly bright start to the new season as the Reds barely scraped past the Potters with a 1-0 win courtesy of a late and stupendous strike from Philippe Coutinho.

They registered another narrow and ‘lucky’ 1-0 win over Bournemouth in their next game. Their only goal – scored by summer signing from Aston Villa Christian Benteke – should have been ruled out for off side as was later acknowledged by the FA.

They were taken apart by Manchester United in a 3-1 defeat, and were abject in their next game against West Ham United as the Hammers ran riot on their way to a 3-0 win, which was also the first time that they had won at Anfield since the early 1960s.

In the Europa League, they played out successive 1-1 draws against Marseille and then FC Sion. More than the scoreline and the result, it was the performance of the Reds that riled most of their supporters. They looked completely spineless against the Swiss opposition and that too at Anfield.

In their only League Cup game this season so far, the Merseyside giants were held to a 1-1 draw at Anfield by League Two side Carlisle United and only managed to get past the lower league opposition after a penalty shootout.

The nature of Liverpool’s win led to scathing comments from club legend Mark Lawrenson, who went on to say: “Carlisle, division two team, they’ve come, they’ve held us, they’ve conceded a goal, got the ball down, passed it probably better than we did.

“They had shape, organisation. Yes we had a lot of shots on target, but we were rudderless.

“Watching us play, if you walked into the ground after an hour you wouldn’t know who the Premier League team were.”

However, it would be myopic to judge Rodgers only on the basis of his team’s performance this season or the last. It shouldn’t be forgotten that he guided the Reds to their closest title challenge in years in the 2013/14 season.

CSI CYBER 202 Recap: Heart Me Stalk Me

csi cyber 202 heart me recap images 2015Dating and stalking are what’s on tap for this episode of “CSI: Cyber,” and at a dating site party Holden tried to buy a drink for Tracy, a friend of Raven’s, but Tracy turned him down. Holden then began to check Raven out. Later he called 911 because he said he heard gun shots and screams. Then a SWAT Team raided Raven’s house that night. Raven looked out the window and saw Nelson, who had been at her apartment at the time, climb down the fire escape and run away.

A week later at work Raven confronted Nelson on why he left so suddenly. He said it would have looked bad for him to be discovered at her apartment in the middle of the night.

Meanwhile, the team got ahold of pacifiers from the UK that could track a baby’s body temperature and send the results to their parents’ smartphones. Agent Mundo then told Agent Ryan that they had a new lead on someone they have been watching, who runs a porn site online. Mundo said that the man, Rizzo, has a clean record and an army of lawyers so they can’t bust him for putting naked pictures of unsuspecting women on his site.

Raven then got a phone call from Tracy. She told Raven her utilities were shut off and she stopped getting mail to her house because she allegedly filled out a change of address online that she never filled out. Tracy’s email account was hacked into and she went to the cops. They told her they couldn’t do anything to determine who broke into her computer. She asked Raven if she could help by finding the person who hacked into Tracy’s accounts.

Agent Ryan confronted Mundo about spending too much time at the bar and not enough time at home. He told Agent Ryan his father has an inoperable tumor in his spine and won’t undergo chemotherapy treatments for it.

Raven found the name of the man, Kyle, who hacked into Tracy’s accounts and reported it to Agent Ryan. She said she would send Mundo to talk to Kyle. When Mundo got to Kyle’s house he found him dead in his living room. Mundo said Kyle’s wife’s alibi had checked out and she had arrived at the house right before Agent Ryan did. Mundo discovered Kyle was the man Tracy turned down at the party.

The team found out that a nude photo of Tracy was on the porn site that the FBI is trying to get shut down. Mundo then told Raven that Kyle was found dead at his house and Tracy was his suspected murderer. At a motel a man watched Tracy get in her car and drive away. He followed her in his car and then called 911 and said he knew something about a current murder case.

Daniel obtained the cell phones that were found at the scene of the crime when Kyle was murdered. Nelson looked at Kyle’s side piece phone and discovered Tracy had a motivation to kill Kyle; he was pretending to be single when he was married the whole time.

A detective questioned Raven about Tracy’s role in Kyle’s death. Raven said someone framed Tracy for murdering Kyle. Agent Ryan said they found Tracy’s fingerprints at Kyle’s house the day he was murdered.

Raven showed Tracy the picture of her on Rizzo’s site and Tracy said she had sent that picture to an ex-boyfriend while they were still dating.

Russell determined that the side piece phone didn’t actually belong to Kyle. He said someone wanted it to look like Kyle and Tracy had a cyber-relationship.

The young man who said he had information on a murder called Tracy’s mother and pretended to be a cop. They had to determine who started a dating profile using Kyle’s identity. They found the device that was used to hack into Tracy’s email account. They figured out the man pretending to be Kyle got ahold of a photo of Kyle and used it to create the fake dating profile.

The man followed Tracy to a store and when she got into her car to leave he knocked on her window and told her she had a flat tire so he would give her a ride. She asked him to take her to the local bus station. The man said he had met Tracy when he offered to buy her a drink and she rejected him. He then asked Tracy how her boyfriend was. Nelson tracked down Tracy based on the location of her phone and called Agent Mundo to go pick her up. The man giving Tracy a ride was pulled over and Tracy was arrested for Kyle’s murder.

Tracy told Agent Ryan that she didn’t kill Kyle and that she has a clean record. She said she went to Kyle’s house and the door was wide open so she went in. She said she didn’t remember what happened and questioned why she would hurt him. Tracy identified the man that was giving her a ride as Holden.

Agent Ryan told Tracy that Holden had posed as Kyle to get to know Tracy. She said Holden wanted revenge on Tracy for rejecting him. She explained Holden murdered Kyle and then lured Tracy to Kyle’s house. Holden grabbed Tracy, took her to a motel and left her.

Russell and Agent Ryan figured out to use enzymes to pinpoint the exact time of Kyle’s death so Tracy could be cleared in his murder. He proved that Kyle was dead before Tracy got to the house.

Raven told Tracy they were giving her a new computer and phone that can’t be hacked into and that they were putting her in a hotel until Kyle’s killer was caught. Tracy then called Raven and said Holden had texted her. Tracy disappeared from the hotel and went after Holden. She tried to attack him but Raven stopped her. Mundo then caught up with Holden and arrested him for Kyle’s murder.

Jacksonville Jaguars Gus Bradley Feels ‘Something is wrong’ & He’s Right

0

gus bradley feels like something is wrong with jackson jaguars nfl 2015 imagesIt looks like Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley is finally coming to the realization that the rest of the NFL came to years ago: the Jags suck.

It’s been that way for a while now. That’s just what we’ve come to expect from Jacksonville.

“It doesn’t feel like the bottom, but it does feel like something is wrong,” said Bradley.

The Jags dropped to 1-4 Sunday with a 38-31 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

“If you ask everybody coming into this game, everybody felt ready but maybe there is a difference between feeling ready and being prepared. And we weren’t prepared as well as we needed to be. Everybody can take responsibility for that.”

Sure, but at the end of the day it’ll be your job that’s lost because no one is fully prepared, Mr. Bradley. If you said something like that after losing to the New England Patriots no one would have really blamed you, but the Bucs aren’t exactly top of the food chain (except maybe in Florida).

And really, the loss to the Bucs is forgivable. The Jags got down early, but they were able to fight their way back with 18-straight second half points to make it interesting. I guess a number of frustrating losses so quick in the season will get to you.

“That wasn’t our best. That wasn’t acceptable. We have to dig deep and find out what the issues are and clean them up as soon as possible. I’m hoping this setback—it shocks us to get things right. I’m hoping that.”

Well, Gus, if you can actually figure out what’s been plaguing the Jags since David Garrard and Fred Taylor led the team to the Divisional Round of the playoffs back in 2007, then you have my vote for Coach of the Year.

“You’ll say, ‘Hey, Gus, you said this was built.’ It is built. We have enough good players in that locker room to do better than what we’re doing. That’s a fact.”

Well, Gus, that sounds like a coaching issue to me if that’s the case. But at least you can hang your hat on not being the Miami Dolphins. And, with how poorly the rest of the AFC South is doing, you’re technically not out of the race yet.

If the Jags are as good as Bradley claims, they should have no issue snagging win No. 2 this coming Sunday at home against the Houston Texans.

THE WALKING DEAD 601 Recap: Like the First Time Again

walking dead first time again canyon zombies 2015What a season premiere! It was big. It was nasty. It was insane!  Here’s a few observations before jumping into the recap of “The Walking Dead.”

  • Eugene is the worst gatekeeper ever and not much better at eavesdropping.
  • A zombie parade is a bad idea even with the proper planning and city permits.
  • Rick would have been doing Carter a favor with his own gun before…

OK, the entire episode bounces back and forth between black and white flashbacks and the the present. The FBs are immediately after Rick had blown Pete’s brains all over Abe. We also get a look at the planning stages of the walker parade.

As for the present, it is mostly the execution of the plan to walk the undead out of the canyon trap and far away from Alexandria before they escape on their own. The group wanted to do a dry run, but that it went live once the tractor trailer fell over the cliff, freeing thousands of nasty walkers, many of which were looking for a quiet community like Alexandria.

We see a lot of Deanna still in a state of shock as she defers to Rick on all decisions. She has his back completely from what I can tell.

There is a problem with Pete’s execution. His older son Ron isn’t taking it too well and is none too pleased to see his old man being hauled off and dumped in the woods like an animal. Not sure if the kid expected a big funeral for this murderer or what.

During the flashbacks we see Abe is still drinking too much and Glenn brought in Nicholas for medical help after the guy tried to kill Glenn in the season finale last season. Daryl and Rick disagree about scouting for more people to add to their town. Rick wants to play it safe of course, but Daryl sees the value in adding strength to the group with good people.

Our guy Morgan is under house arrest until Rick can be sure he is no threat. Morgan was not the most stable person the last time they ran into each other of course.

Morgan has more humanity left in him than Rick, but he also sees the good in Rick and won’t let that go even though Rick is clearly ruthless when the need arises.

The two men first see the walker horde in the canyon when they go to bury Pete in the woods. They end up saving Ron as he was chased by some rotters. The boy was not too appreciative as you can imagine. Rick did end up digging a proper grave when push came to shove, even for the murderous, wife beating Pete.

walking dead 601 daryl leading walkers 2015The planning phase for the zombie parade was interesting, but insane as well. No way they could control thousands of flesh eating humans, no matter how much thought they put into it. It was going to be like herding cats. Really slow, blood thirsty cats.

Since Comcast is taking over eight days to fix my cable, I have watched this premiere from my public library with their wi-fi. I had to sit through commercials instead of fast forwarding them so it seemed like this episode lasted three hours with 82 Tide ads and trailers for some awful looking horror flick.

Enough of my complaining. Just glad Comcast doesn’t provide water to the city.

Carol is still playing the role of innocent mom so she can get insider info on the townies. That’s smart. She can bust out into lethal mode anytime she needs to as we saw with her threatening Pete last season.

The tractor store scene was chaotic. Nicholas’ balls dropped though and he was of actual help to Glenn and Heath (townie that had been on a mission).  It will take a while for Glenn to trust the man who tried to murder him, but this was a good first step. This is how the world changes like Maggie mentioned between she and Tara. Trust has to built sometime or everyone just destroys each other.

It’s once again apparent that the townies are not ready to defend themselves. Rick orders them to kill a few straggling walkers with their shovels, but they just cower and have to be saved by Morgan who jumps in first. Tough love is fine, but not when the end result could have been a fellow human eaten at the construction site.

the walking dead 601 recap first time carter images 2015Rick had to put Carter in his place after he walks in on the guy pointing a gun at Eugene since he overheard Carter’s idea of killing Rick. Lucky for Carter, Rick was in a good mood and not in a hurry to whack another founding member of Alexandria. He let him off the hook, but later had to run a shank through his brain after he got bit during the face eating portion of the walker parade.
the walking dead rick kills carter 601 imagesI don’t know why Michonne and Morgan looked so hurt after Rick ended Carter who was moments away from walker mode. He had no choice obviously. I guess Rick showing humanity in not killing him after hearing about the murder plot made it worse that he eventually had to end his life.

Gotta keep moving! No time for tears over a guy that was “going to get himself killed anyway,” just like Rick had told Morgan.

The talk between Jessie and Rick didn’t move their story forward at all. The mom in her defends Ron and says she is willing to fight….good thing cause a horde of walkers are rerouting their GPS units.

The parade plan was actually working, pitiful looking wall at the curve and all. Abe had drawn back a few stragglers onto the main road. Everything was going as planned, but even the best laid plans…..

A freaking horn roars that gets the attention of well over half the horde and they start heading in the direction of that sound. Where’s it coming from? Home according to Rick. Who’s doing it?

That’s a question that will be answered next week. I first guessed Ron, but think now that it may be Gabriel. Trumpet, horn, Gabriel, anybody? It’s a fit and he can’t be trusted.

Maybe it’s the Wolves, which was my initial thought even before Ron. But not if the sound is coming from Alexandria, right? Unless they took the place over and if so, why draw walkers to their own safe haven?

Lots of questions need to be answered next week. I knew the walker parade could not be wrapped up in a single episode. That was a huge undertaking. I would like to have found out where they were taking the herd. I’m guessing a big pit or another trap. Maybe even some dynamite to trap them in a tunnel.

We’ll have to wait until next week to find out since I’m not an expert in leading thousands of walkers safely away in an orderly fashion.

Heroes & Zeros: Selena Gomez & Briston Palin

This week heroes and zeroes are two young women who have taken two very different paths in life.

heroes zeros selena gomez 2015 gossip images cropHero- Selena Gomez

You may know her from Disney Channel’s Wizards of Wizardly Place (loved that show) but today, she is an actress, singer and model who is taking on some very big issues. Selena Gomez hasn’t been as involved in projects as she has in the past and we found out this week what she has been dealing with outside of the spotlight of Hollywood. She has a rare form of lupus.

“I was diagnosed with lupus, and I’ve been through chemotherapy,” Selena Gomez told Billboard magazine.

An autoimmune disease that only affects about 8% of the population 78% of that number are women. Selena has shown tremendous bravery in coming forth and letting us know what has been going on with her and it is commendable because of its very personal nature. I know a couple of people who have lupus and it is a challenging disease to deal with let alone maintain. One of the things about lupus too is that it can lead to other more life threatening ailments like heart disease.

Selena is only 23 years old so it is good she caught it early in life and her willingness to speak about it in order to bring awareness to others will help more people than she probably knows. The symptoms don’t always warrant knowing what it is exactly and her taking the steps should serve as an example for others to do the same. You know how it is when you are in your twenties, you think that you are invincible, which can lead to neglect in areas that need routine attention.

I applaud Selena for leading the way. She could have been selfish about it and declined to even tough on it. We have no idea the battle she has gone through and the battles she still has to face. There is no doubt the emotion of her treatment (chemo) and everything that goes along with her condition is still very raw. Hopefully other people, young women especially, will understand the seriousness in getting checked out and make their way to their doctors.

heroes zeros bristol palin 2015 gossip imagesZero- Bristol Palin

There are people in the media who continue to amaze me and this girl right here is one of them. Not in a good way I might add.

She is a former teen mom, a title that goes against everything she and her family stands for and even got pregnant again out of wedlock recently. Yet for some reason, she stills insists on opening her mouth in oppositions about programs that offer much needed things like birth control.

Bristol has been a paid ambassador for teen pregnancy prevention and has been a kind of token of pride amongst conservatives of what it looks like to fall and get back up. So why is she so upset that teenage girls in Washington are able to get IUD’s? There is a hypocrisy here that is just too unsettling.

Does she feel that because she has money and can take care of herself it is okay that she is on her second child before the age of 25 having never been married? I don’t know.

She wrote about her feelings on this subject in a recent post on her blog and pretty much carries the same view as other right winged news outlets (shocker). The story she refers to in particular is one that was reported on back in the summer that supposedly girls as young as 10 years old are able to get IUD’s without their parent’s consent. I don’t know about you but that sounds like a whole bunch of propaganda.

Maybe there is some truth to it, maybe Bristol is being paid to give her take on the situation. Either way, I really don’t feel like she has room to complain, criticize or object to any initiative dealing with birth control being offered in any form to sexually active teenage girls.

It wouldn’t be so bad if she weren’t consistently on her high horse about what is right what is wrong and how people should stop doing this and that. But she is constantly talking about those things in the context of morals when she clearly, on a regular basis, goes against the ones she has set out of herself.

Ugh… what a zero.

NCAA College Football Week 6 Winners & Losers

Winners & Losers From College Football’s Week 6

Six weeks into the 2015 college football season and already the landscape is changing. Sure, Ohio State is the still the nation’s top-ranked team, but the rest of the latest Top 25 is somewhat shaken. Is the SEC the nation’s dominant conference? Is the Big Ten slowly taking over or is it the Big 12? Who would have thought that perennial power Oregon would be 3-3 at this point in the season? There are certainly more surprises to come. The latest surprises represent the winners and losers from the past weekend of play. Here they are.

WINNERS

The Michigan defense is currently the nation’s best. After a 38-0 drubbing of former No. 15 Northwestern, head coach Jim Harbaugh and the Wolverine defense have now recorded three straight shutouts. The last time Michigan had three shutouts in an entire season was 1980. For the season, the Wolverines have given up just 31 points on the season, an average of just over five points per game. Harbaugh and company will face little brother and No. 7-ranked Michigan State next Saturday.

Charlie Strong and Texas turned some heads as the Longhorns ran all over previously 10th-ranked Oklahoma in a 24-17 victory Saturday. Texas rushed for 313 yards in the win and relieved some of the pressure that was mounting in Austin. Rumors that Strong was possibly losing control of the locker room were circulating. At 2-4, Texas still has a long way to go to have any shot at a bowl game but don’t count them out just yet.

The state of Washington recorded some big wins over the past weekend of college football. On Thursday night, the Huskies of the University of Washington shocked a 17th-ranked USC squad that many thought might contend for a national title earlier this season. Head coach Chris Petersen recorded his biggest victory in his second year as the head coach at Washington. On Saturday, Washington State recorded an exciting 45-38 double overtime win over Pac-12 power Oregon. It was easily the biggest win in Wazzou head coach Mike Leach’s short tenure in Pullman.

Deuces were wild for Florida State running back Dalvin Cook who rushed 22 times for 222 yards and two touchdowns in the Seminoles 29-24 win over in-state rival Miami. The win moves Florida State to 5-0 overall and 3-0 in the ACC. Cook also caught three passes for 47 yards and another touchdown.

LOSERS

Clock and game management were just not high on the list of priorities for both Rutgers and Boston College on Saturday. The Scarlet Knights played fourth-ranked Michigan State to the wire giving up an L.J. Scott three-yard run with 43 seconds left in a 31-24 loss. But, Rutgers had a chance to possibly tie the score as they drove the ball in the game’s final seconds. Quarterback Chris Laviano mistakenly spiked the ball to stop the clock during the final drive. The only problem? It was fourth down.

Boston College trailed Wake Forest 3-0 in the game’s final seconds. Demon Deacons quarterback John Wolford gave the Eagles a gift when he fumbled the ball away with under a minute to play. Boston College had the ball first-and-goal at the one-yard line with just 29 seconds remaining. Head coach Steve Addazio attempted to run the ball and BC was stopped short. With the clock running down, BC quarterback Jeff Smith spiked the ball to stop the clock. The problem? There was no time remaining on the clock.

In a much anticipated matchup of ranked Pac-12 teams, Cal quarterback Jared Goff threw five interceptions and the bears dropped a 30-24 decision to No. 5 Utah. The Utes did get 222 yards rushing from running back Devontae Booker, but six Cal turnovers proved to be too much to overcome.

nick chubb no workers nfl ncaa 2015Injuries. Some of college football’s biggest names have seen their season’s end because of gruesome injuries. Notre Dame quarterback Malik Zaire suffered a freak ankle injury earlier in the season. UCLA linebacker Myles Jack will miss the season and now turn pro due to a knee injury. The latest casualty is Georgia running back Nick Chubb, who had 13 straight 100-yard games for the Bulldogs. Chubb suffered what appeared to be a very hard-to-watch knee injury on the first play of Saturday’s game against Tennessee. Georgia dropped its second game in a row, 38-31, to the Volunteers.

The college football world heard the rumors about Maryland head coach Randy Edsall. The Terrapins entered Saturday’s game against No. 1 Ohio State with a 2-3 record. A loss to the Buckeyes would probably mean Edsall would be sent packing. Well, after Cardale Jones went 21-for-28 for 291 yards and two touchdowns and Ezekiel Elliot gained 106 yards and scored twice on the ground in a 49-28 Buckeyes win, the rumors became true. Edsall was fired on Sunday.

Is Jose Mourinho the Right Man to Rescue Chelsea This Season?

0

is jose mourinho right man to rescue chelsea 2015 soccer imagesChelsea are currently occupying 16th spot in the league standings after a run of four defeats, two wins and as many draws from their first eight games of the league season so far. It is as unfamiliar a situation for the Blues as it is for their manager Jose Mourinho, a winner of league titles across four different European leagues and also a two-time European champion.

In the second season of his second stint at Stamford Bridge, Mourinho guided his men to a special campaign, when they won the league title well before the final weekend of the action was played. They also won the League Cup after defeating Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 in the final at Wembley in March.

It all looked to be going good for the Blues and they were billed by many as the team that would go on to retain the title. After all, Manchester City failed to muster any kind of consistency through the course of the last campaign. Manchester United failed to inspire any kind of confidence with their disjointed displays under Louis van Gaal’s first season at Old Trafford. Liverpool folded miserably after a historic 2013/14 season where they went on the cusp of winning the title before faltering at the door. Arsenal failed to address any of their major worries in the summer and there didn’t seem to be enough quality in the ranks of Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham Hotspur to mount a title challenge.

In the prevailing circumstances, Chelsea did look like the safest bet for the league title.

However, scratching the surface did show that Chelsea’s bench was just that – a surface. They lack any real depth and only have academy graduates to call upon if they require substitutions or replacements through the course of the game – and probably the season, if they do not do much business in the winter transfer window.

When Mourinho took charge of the Blues, he had quality players to choose from, with Kevin De Bruyne, Andre Schurrle and Thorgan Hazard calling Stamford Bridge home. He also oversaw the arrival of Mohamed Salah from Basel and Juan Cuadrado from Fiorentina. But this season he has none of them in his ranks. The Blues have long sold the first three and the latter two are plying their trade in the Italian league on loan after failing to impress Mourinho during their brief stints in west London.

Mourinho did buy the likes of Baba Rahman, Papy Djilobodji, Asmir Begovic and Pedro Rodriguez in the summer. But the first two remain unproven at the highest level and Begovic doesn’t provide the same security in goal as Thibaut Courtois. And after a good start, Pedro seems to have faded a little.

Despite all the problems it will be foolish to count Chelsea out of the title race so early in the season, especially with Mourinho at the helm. The Portuguese schemer remains one of the foremost managers in the game and will surely find a way out.
