Vanderpump Rules Season 4 Episode 11 Recap: Ariana Madix vs. The World

Lisa’s doing all she can to keep her distance from Stassi on Vanderpump Rules, as the former cast member has been snooping around.


Meanwhile, Scheana and Ariana found that their friendship could be more damaged than previously believed. Possibly beyond repair …



When Vanderpump Rules Season 4 Episode 11 got underway, we were teased that Stassi is on the verge of making a Bravo comeback.


If you watch Vanderpump Rules online, you know what a bunch of co-dependent head cases these are and that drama is their drug.


You also know that Stassi is the poster child for that (mis)behavior, so when she makes her return, grab a hat and hold the f–k onto it.


As for this week’s drama, Scheana Marie and Ariana Madix got into it because Tom Sandoval isn’t happy (at all) about Kristen Doute.


Specifically, that everyone wants to be friends with Kristen again, despite the fact that she is a proven sociopath demon crazy person.


Kristen is trying, to her credit, to make peace with Tom. It’s a very difficult road ahead, but she seems determined to bury the hatchet.


Now that she’s helping Katie Maloney plan her wedding – Tom was stunned to hear this – she’s going to be around, so get used to it!


Or not. It’s gotten to the point where Ariana is even considering ending friendships with Scheana and Katie over the whole Kristen issue.


Scheana, for her part, thinks that Ariana should lighten the hell up and that her best friend simply has a terrible attitude about everything.


Do you concur? Whose side are you on here?


Meanwhile, James Kennedy managed to get himself invited to Jax and Tom Sandoval’s birthday celebration after all, so he was hyped.


Of course, Lala Kent is telling people he has a small penis, so he will be less than hyped about that. For James, that’s worse than death.


Eh, Lala and Faith also went skinny dipping in Lisa’s pool on this episode, so James might get over it if either/both showed any interest.


We just call it like we see it here at THG.

The Bachelor Season 20 Episode 2 Recap: Like Butterflies Heating Up Your Stomach

On The Bachelor Season 20 Episode 2, Ben Higgins’ quest to narrow down the field of aspiring trophy wives vying for his love continued.


If you want to know who has the inside track, The Bachelor spoilers can shed some light on that topic right now. If you don’t … continue!



Picking up where the premiere left off, The Bachelor Season 20 Episode 2 saw a couple of interesting group dates by series standards.


First, there was a sojourn to a local high school to take part in a heated competition for the Bachelor High Homecoming Queen crown.


The girls faced off in science, geography, athletics, and bobbing for apples, which was even more awkward than it sounds if that’s possible.


Mandi won the title – and one-on-one time Ben. Jennifer and Ben also shared a kiss, which Lace in particular was not too happy ’bout.


Caila got the evening’s first one-on-one date, while Olivia got upset about that, and Lace? She tried her darndest to monopolize Ben.


Ben kissed JoJo before his big date with Caila … and Ice Cube and Kevin Hart, who chose to “Ride Along” with the duo on their date.


It was actually pretty funny, but things got real after Kevin and Cube left as Ben talked about his past relationships and his fear of failure.


That kind of raw emotional moment doesn’t come along every season, people. J/K! The writers and editors have it down to a science.



On the second group date, more lucky ladies went to a so-called Love Lab to run tests on whether they and Ben had a chance at love.


This included passing a sniff test – stripping them all down to their underwear to see what kind of natural scents the women give off.


Olivia got the highest score, and later on, Ben and Olivia kissed, so perhaps the Love Lab is onto something. Do we smell a keeper?


To quote Olivia herself, “This kiss was beyond worth the wait … It was magical … Butterflies. Heat in my stomach … area.” Damn, girl.


She got the group date rose. Lace got upset again and cried. Fortunately, she too received a rose at the ceremony and is moving on.


That’s all she wrote folks. You can watch The Bachelor online to see the carnage for yourself. The remaining field as it stands now:


In: Jami Letain, Rachel Tchen, Jen Saviano, Lauren Bushnell, Mandi Kremer, Lace Morris, Amber James, Becca Tilley, Olivia Caridi, Lauren Himle, Emily Ferguson, Haley Ferguson, Jubilee Sharpe, Leah Block, Caila Quinn, Amanda Stanton, JoJo Fletcher, Shushanna Mkrtychyan


Out: Lauren Barr, Sam Passmore, Jackie Dion

Charlie Carver, Popular Teen Wolf Star, Comes Out as Gay

Charlie Carver, a 27-year old actor best known for roles on Teen Wolf and The Leftovers, has confirmed that he is gay.


The star made this reveal in a lengthy Instagram post



“As a young boy, I knew I wanted to be an actor. I knew I wanted to be a lot of things! I thought I wanted to be a painter, a soccer player, a stegosaurus… But the acting thing stuck,” Carver wrote.


He then got to the heart of the topic:


“It was around that age that I also knew, however abstractly, that I was different from some of the other boys in my grade.


“Over time, this abstract ‘knowing’ grew and articulated itself through a painful gestation marked by feelings of despair and alienation, ending in a climax of saying three words out loud: ‘I am gay.’


“I said them to myself at first, to see how they felt. They rang true, and I hated myself for them. I was twelve.


“It would take me a few years before I could repeat them to anyone else, in the meantime turning the phrase over and over in my mouth until I felt comfortable and sure enough to let the words pour out again, this time to my family.”



Along with his message, Carver shared a photo on social media of the following quote:


Be who you needed when you were younger.


Carver’s post is long, heartfelt and personal… and it concludes as follows:


“So now, let the record show this – I self-identify as gay. And does that really matter anymore?


“As a young man, I needed a young man in Hollywood to say that – and without being a dick about it, I owe it to myself, more than anything, to be who I needed when I was younger.”


We admire Carver’s courage in coming out and we wish him the best.
