Aug 6th 2013, 04:14, by Andy Swift

Everybody’s favorite ‘True Alpha’ is at a crossroad. Which way will he go?

Two very different storms hit Beacon Hills on the Aug. 5 episode of Teen Wolf – the literal storm (hurricane!) and the figurative storm (plots converging!) — and when the weather finally died down, Scott (Tyler Posey) was faced with his most difficult decision yet: Will he give himself over to Deucalion (Gideon Emery) to save the guardians?

We’ll have to wait until next week to find out for sure, but it definitely looks like Ty-Ty is willing to give into Duke’s demands. (Sorry if “Ty-Ty” and “Duke” are too cutesy for you, by the way. Making light of this show is the only way I can truly process it.)

For now, let’s focus on the insanity that was this week’s episode — and not just the part where Isaac (Daniel Sharman) totally said Allison (Crystal Reed) was hot. Seriously.

The Parents Trapped

When I said “guardians” earlier, I was referring to Scott’s mom and Stiles’ dad. On that subject, I’ve got some good news and some bad news: They’re both alive — I’ve been lighting candles for Mr. Stiles all week — but they’re also being held captive under a tree.

And not just any tree; it’s the tree that gives Jennifer (Haley Webb) her powers! And speaking of Ms. Blake…

The Name Game

During what I can only describe as a soliloque of exposition, Ms. Blake revealed to Derek (Tyler Hoechlin) that her real name is, in fact, not Jennifer. Her real name is Julia Baccari — and she was Kali’s emissary!

And here’s what’s even wackier: Derek killing Paige — who was a virgin, duh! — actually triggered Julia’s return to power after Kali left her for dead.

Power Outage

Derek’s conversation with Jennifer/Julia also revealed one more piece of bad news: During the total lunar eclipse, the werewolves will lose all their power! That should make the Aug. 19 midseason finale — ominously titled “Lunar Eclipse” — all the more intense.

Odds & Ends

1. I loved watching Stiles (Dylan O’Brien) use mouth-to-mouth to save Cora (Adelaide Kane). Dear fandom, do we ship them now? Have we always shipped them? I can’t keep up anymore.

2. I don’t care how ridiculous it was; Scott’s mom using that defibrillator on the twins was amazing — cheesy ’80s-style catch phrase and all!

3. I’m going to begin every meal by loudly repeating Peter’s (Ian Bohen) best line tonight: “Let’s rumble!”

Aug 6th 2013, 04:04, by Eleanore Hutch

Desiree made a shocking choice on the ‘Bachelorette’ finale, but when she her new fiance made their first public appearance as a couple on the August 5 ‘Bachelorette: After The Final Rose,’ they couldn’t look more in love! Plus, she came face to face with the guy who crushed her at the final hurdle, and he got a positively icy stare.

Desiree Hartsock became engaged on the dramatic August 5 finale of The Bachelorette, and on the After The Final Rose, Des flashed her sparkly new ring, and her hot new fiance! Des and her husband-to-be opened up to Chris Harrison, where she came face to face with the man who broke her heart, she showcased her love with the man she was meant to be with, and, she revealed she is moving to his hometown to be with him!

On the season finale of the show, fans saw Desiree become engaged to Chris Siegfried!

Desiree Comes Face To Face With Brooks

Before Desiree and Chris made their first appearance as a couple, Desiree came face to face with Brooks Forester, the man who dumped her on the first season finale of the show. Brooks and Desiree had a somewhat awkward but polite encounter, but she gave him a totally icy stare at one point!

Brooks seemed super awkward to be in the same room with the girl who’s heart he broke, and Desiree did question why he chose to leave so last minute. Well, Desiree has had the last laugh, because she and Chris couldn’t be happier!

Desiree Hartsock & Chris Siegfried Make Their First Appearance

Desiree and Chris made their first appearance as a couple, and Desiree calls Chris the “greatest man alive.” How sweet!

In their first interview as a couple, Des and Chris looked so adorable and so in love sitting with Chris H, where Chris revealed “I knew she was the one; she was in it for the long haul.”

“Yeah, 100% [I can trust this love],” added Des. “We’re building something great since, it’s not something I want to get rid of anytime soon or anytime EVER!”

Plus, Desiree revealed that she is moving to Seattle to be with him!

“I’m actually going to be moving to Seattle, this weekend. I want to be with him!” How cute! She added that they already have their own place, and that his family is really happy for them.

We all know that Chris is a fan of writing poetry, and he wrote a really nice poem for Desiree, that he had framed. The poem was called “My Girl,” and he lined the frame with all the roses he got all season!

“I put something together for her – it’s just another piece. I’d like to read it,” said Chris.

Desiree and Chris are so adorable together! They seem like such a stable couple, who are so in love. The fact that Desiree is already willing to move to Seattle for Chris says so much about their love.

What do YOU think HollywoodLifers? Do YOU think Des and Chris make a cute couple? Do YOU think she was cordial to Brooks?

Hollywood Life: Lea Michele Tweets About Recording ‘Beautiful & Perfect Song’ For ‘Glee’

Aug 6th 2013, 03:39, by tierneyhl

Three weeks after the death of her beloved boyfriend and ’Glee’ co-star, Cory, Lea is easing her way back into work, and on August 5, she spent the day doing what she does best — singing!

Lea Michele‘s strength and perseverance in the face of this terrible tragedy has been truly inspiring to everyone around her — including the cast and crew of Glee. Lea was spotted leaving the recording studio after her first official day back at work on the set of the musical dramedyand she tweeted that she had a great session! Read on to find out more details.

Lea Michele Recording For ‘Glee’ — She Tweets About ‘Beautiful & Perfect Song’

Lea didn’t reveal the name of her first song for season five, but we’re guessing it’s a Beatles tune since Glee will be kicking off the season with a Beatles tribute episode. Lea was so excited about her recording that she wanted to share it with the world.

“Thank you @alxanders & @AdamAnders for a great recording session today.. You guys are the best❤," Lea tweeted after leaving the studio.

"Couldn't have picked a more beautiful & perfect song to start the year with..," she added in another tweet.

It’s amazing that Lea is staying so positive as she copes with her devastating loss — and we’re not the only ones who think so!

"You were absolutely magnificent today. I am in awe of your strength and your sweet spirit. Love you. #leastrong," Alex tweeted back at her.

"You are the strongest person I know. That was truly amazing. Love you xoxo #leastrong," Adam added.

It’s good to know that Lea has people who love her supporting her as she returns to the set of Glee, where she first met and fell in love with Cory. Despite Lea’s brave face, we know this has to be so hard for her, especially because she is now completely surrounded by reminders of the love of her life. Stay strong, Lea!

Lea Michele On 'Glee' Set — Cast Is 'Somber' But 'Happy'

Being back at work is a bittersweet experience for the cast and crew, a source close to the show tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.

The feel of the set is "very somber, but everyone is happy to be with one another," the source reveals.

It's hard to grieve, but even harder to grieve alone, so it's good that the cast and crew will have each other to lean on during this difficult process.

Lea will be heading a musical tribute for Cory, which will definitely be a painful but cathartic experience for her. Lea is an amazing singer, in part because you can truly feel the emotion in each one of her performances. Her recordings this season will no doubt be filled with more passion and pain than ever, but we hope singing will help Lea work through her grief.

What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Are you inspired by Lea’s decision to return to work, or do you think it’s too soon?

Hollywood Life: ‘Bachelorette’ Finale Recap: Desiree Hartsock Gets Her Happily Ever After

Aug 6th 2013, 02:16, by Eleanore Hutch

Desiree is officially an engaged woman! On the August 5 season finale of ‘The Bachelorette,’ the love of her life got down on one knee and proposed to her in the romantic Caribbean setting.

After previously getting her heart broken on the semi finaleDesiree Hartsock is engaged to be married! During the dramatic August 5 finale of The Bachelorette, Desiree was asked for her hand in marriage, and she said yes! So who is the lucky guy — Chris Siegfried, Drew Kenney, or, neither? The episode begins with Desiree being seriously bummed because Brooks Forester left, and she tells Chris Harrison she wants to go home…

Desiree cries to Chris about how she is so sad that Brooks is gone, and she talks about how Chris is “nice,” and Drew is “sweet,” and it is clear that neither one compares to Brooks. Des said she is “still not broken,” and she tells Chris H that she wants to continue on. So is she going to settle for second best?

Chris and Drew arrived to the rose ceremony looking strapping in their suits, and Desiree managed to stop boo hooing for long enough to talk to them. Wow, Desiree is so pretty when she cries. She decides to give both the guys roses, as long as they promise not to break her heart.

Desiree Goes On A Tragic Final Date With Drew

Desiree and Drew go horse riding on the beach, and then the sit on the beach and god lord Desiree is crying again. They have ZERO romantic chemistry, and the fact that Desiree can’t get through the date without shedding tears speaks volumes for their future. Luckily the crashing waves are drowning her out.

Drew may be pretty, but he looks mightily confused. WIthin a short time of the date beginning, Desiree tells Drew that she cannot be with him, and she apologizes profusely. Poor Drew can’t really comprehend what is going on — he is pretty but he is not the sharpest tool in the box — but he tells Des that she does not have to apologize for not being in love with him. Poor Drew! He walks the beach in tears, proving the Des is not the only one who can dramatically break down.

At least we will always have the memory of him reading Shakespeare.

Drew leaves, and it is unclear if Desiree is going to have a happy ending.

Desiree & Chris Go On One On One Final Date

Des and Chris go on another date on a boat, and Des has got her swim shorts and her flippy floppys. This is so romantic. Des has a totally different date with Chris, and perhaps he will be her knight in shining armor. They have a Titanic like moment, and Des is finally smiling again. Once they start making out, I know that Des is totally back to herself.

They have drinks, they kiss, they’re are sparks, and it totally looks like Des is going to get her happily ever after all.

Des visits Chris’ cabin for some romantic time, and thank god we are spared his awful poetry. The cheesy music plays, and Des and Chris have a champagne toast. For me, this competition is over and Desiree has a winner, but I don’t think things will be as simple as that.

Brooks gives Des a journal while they are sitting on a bed — because you know, she is all tired from making out — and it includes all the awful poems he wrote for her. Wait, didn’t Zak already give her a diary? God, Desiree just won’t stop crying. She now realizes that perhaps she does not love Chris as much he loves her. Oh dear.

Chris Meets Desiree Hartsock’s Family

Des’ infamous brother Nate is back, and Chris gets the same interrogation that Sean Lowe got. Except that he handles it a lot better than “playboy” Sean! Chris asks Des’ dad for her hand in marriage, and he gives him his blessing. Has Des found her fiance? Her dad really seems to want Chris to be his son in law, and Chris gives Des a big huge smooch before he leaves for the final rose ceremony.

Plus, her crazy brother approves!

Chris then meets Neil Lane, and he picks out a ring, and the suits up for the proposal!

Chris Proposes To Desiree

Chris arrives and proposes to Desiree, and it is so romantic. Just as he is about to get down on one knee, Desiree STOPS him because she wants to be totally honest with him. She tells him that she sent home Drew because he was not right for her, and she starts crying again.

She tells Chris that she loves Brooks, and that she is “blindsided” by her feeling for him, but that she never realized what was right infront of her all along. It is so romantic!

Chris gets down on one knee, and he proposes and Desiree says yes! They kiss and Chris is shaking as he puts the ring on Des’ finger, and they can’t stop kissing on the hilltop!

HollywoodLife.com previously reported that Desiree was so in love with her secret fiance, and that we know she made the right choice!

What do YOU think HollywoodLifers? Are you happy Desiree picked Brooks? Did you think it was the best finale ever?

Desiree Hartsock — I Know I Made The Right Choice

Desiree, 27, has been engaged since the finale was filmed in May, and she could not be more confident with her decision.

"She's over the moon!" a friend said. "Desiree believes she made the right choice. [She] is absolutely beside herself with happiness. She seems to have a constant smile on her face."

Speaking about her choice, Des admitted that she followed her heart.

"I followed and trusted my heart the best I could," said Des. "I was looking for someone who was going to be spontaneous and adventurous while still being very supportive and and caring. And someone who ultimately can understand me and be my best friend."

Hooray for Desiree and Chris! They are totally meant to be, and though the road to love was a little bumpy for them, they are going to be together for a very long time.

What do YOU think HollywoodLifers? Are you happy she picked Chris? Do YOU think he is Desiree’s true love?

Hollywood Life: Jennifer Lopez & Will.i.am A Lock To Be ‘American Idol’ Judges

Latest Hollywood Gossip, News & Celeb Pics 
thumbnail Jennifer Lopez & Will.i.am A Lock To Be 'American Idol' Judges
Aug 6th 2013, 01:30, by Russ Weakland

The new judging panel for ’American Idol’ is shaping up fantastically, and negotiations for Jennifer & Will.i.am are going so strong that FOX anticipates locking down the two stars for next season’s show very soon, HollywoodLife.com has EXCLUSIVELY learned.

Out with the old and in with the new….ish American Idol panel, which is a mix of past judges and at least one fresh new face. Also, AI bids a not-so-tearful goodbye to Nicki Minaj, who was a major headache for the cast and crew last year. Read on to find out all the dirt on what’s next for the hit show!

Jennifer Lopez Judging ‘American Idol’ Alongside Will.i.am?

“Everything you have heard about JLo and the other judges who are being considered is true,” source close to the show tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.

“She [Jennifer] is looking to sign her deal hopefully by the end of the month,” the source adds. “It’s going through lawyers, and specifics are being hashed out and details are being covered, but its a virtual lock at this point.”

This is so exciting! JLo is a fair but honest judge — plus, her return means more fabulous outfits, hair and makeup!

Now that JLo is confirmed to be back on the show, that leaves one spot open for a new judge to join her and a returning Keith Urban — and that will be former Idol mentor Will.i.am, our source reveals!

“Will.i.am is putting the finishing touches on his deal as well,” the source says. “They are looking to make a splashy announcement once the fall season of their other shows is released. They are carefully building this next American Idol to be a brand new kick in the a** that the show needs.”

Sounds like we have a lot to look forward to, and Will.i.am will definitely keep the contestants on their toes!

FOX Is Happy That Nicki Minaj Is Leaving ‘American Idol’

Will JLo and Will.i.am be able to save the show, which struggled last year with a less-than-stellar judging group that included the volatile Miss Minaj? Well, it couldn’t be any worse, our source tells us.

“Everyone from the cast and crew is happy that they don’t have to deal with Nicki Minaj. She was a nightmare,” our source reveals.

Although American Idol loves a little drama, apparently Nicki was not what they had in mind. So will this eclectic new group work out? Only time will tell, and our fingers are crossed. Good luck — we’ll be watching!

So HollywoodLifers, are you excited to see Will.i.am join JLo and Keith Urban on next season’s American Idol? Let us know!

“She’s a very passionate person, which means she’s an emotional person, but that’s so great. I wouldn’t have it any other way,” Sean says.

“She’s someone who loves very hard and she’s wants to make sure that I’m happy all the time, and that puts a big responsibility on me because I have to make sure I reciprocate that,” he adds.

It’s so great that Sean appreciates his fiancée for exactly who she is! Catherine and Sean seem to balance each other out perfectly, and we have no doubt that they will live happily ever after together after their wedding.

HollywoodLife.com has all the dramatic photos from the emotional final episode of Desiree’s ‘Bachelorette’ season.

After nine weeks — and one very dramatic “Men Tell All” special – The Bachelorette‘s ninth season finally came to a close Aug. 5, as Desiree Hartsock was forced to decide between Chris Siegfried and Drew Kenney.

It started with a bang: Desiree having to tell Chris and Drew that Brooks Forester had left Antigua, and was no longer in the running. (Good thing Dez had Chris Harrison by her side to wipe up all her tears!)

Speaking of tears, there was no shortage of waterworks during the two-hour farewell episode — most of them coming from the bachelorette, herself.

Photos From ‘The Bachelorette’ Finale

From Desiree’s super-weepy one-on-one chats with Chris (Harrison, that is) to her final decision, HollywoodLife.com will be all over this finale — capturing every epic moment.

We’ll be updating our gallery as the night continues, so keep coming back to HollywoodLife.com!

Fresh off the release of his acclaimed new album, ‘Yeezus,’ Kayne will take the stage this year at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards on August 25. After his performance of “BLKKK SKKKN HEAD,” Kayne will make history by tying Madonna for the most VMA performances!

Superstar Kanye West is set to perform live from Brooklyn's Barclays Center in his record-tying seventh VMAs performance, MTV announced on August 5. With just one more performance, Kayne could dethrone the Queen of Pop! Will Kayne’s baby mama Kim Kardashian be there to cheer him on? Read on for more details!

Kanye West  Performing At VMAs — Will Kim Kardashian Attend?

The three-time VMA award winner — and proud new papa of baby North West – has given some of the most triumphant and talked-about performances in VMA history, including the first look at Watch The Throne – "Otis" with JAY Z in 2011; “Runaway” in 2010; “Love Lockdown” in 2008; the Daft Punk-sampling “Stronger” and “Good Life” with T-Pain in 2007; the chart-topping “Gold Digger,” featuring Jamie Foxx in 2005; and his VMA debut with a medley of “Jesus Walks/All Falls Down/Through The Wire,” featuring Chaka Khan in 2004.

We wonder what Kayne has in store for his performance of "BLKKK SKKK HEAD!" Based on the track’s innovative, controversial video, it’s bound to be something spectacular!

Kayne is in good company at the show – Lady Gaga is also set to perform the new single from her upcoming album, ARTPOP.

But will Kim also be there? We told you she has been eager to get out of the house, and this could be the perfect opportunity for the new mom to pop out in style. Perhaps even baby North will hit the red carpet! The VMAs are always good for a few surprises, so anything’s possible!

Kanye West Releases New Music Video For ‘BLKKK SKKK HEAD’

Kayne released his music video for "BLKKK SKKK HEAD" on July 22, and “dark and twisty” doesn't even begin to describe it!

The video “is a step towards the possibilities of internet based video,” according to the rapper. Viewers can actually take photos during the video, as well as speed up or slow down the video.

The shocking video opens with three hooded figures, whose black robes serve as the backdrop for the video. It then transitions to an animated Kanye moving amidst crazy black-and-white flashing lights. Kanye is shirtless throughout and looks particularly ripped.

One more thing to note: When you hold your cursor over the video, the normal index-finger pointer is replaced by the middle finger. Kanye's attention to detail on this video is meticulous.

HollywoodLifers, are YOU excited for Kayne’s performance at the VMAs? Do you think Kim will attend? Let us know in the comments!

Welcome (back) to ‘The O.C.,’ b***h! See what the stars are saying a decade after the show’s premiere — including Rachel’s hilarious YouTube tribute to Summer.

The O.C. premiered exactly 10 years ago today, making Aug. 5 officially “O.C. Day,” the second-most important holiday ever — next to Chrismukkah, of course. And speaking of Chrismukkah, Josh Schwartz and Rachel Bilson have put together an incredible gift for fans of the iconic Fox drama.

Stepping back into the role that made her a household name, Rachel delivers her best “Chino? Ew!” in the most incredible six-second video that anyone has ever posted to YouTube. It was uploaded by Josh, and tweeted out with a simple preface: “Rachel Bilson has a message for fans 10 years later.”

But Rachel isn’t the only former O.C. star to chime in on this very special day!

‘The O.C.’ Stars Tweet About 10th Anniversary

Peter Gallagher – who played eyebrow-enthusiast and best-dad-ever Sandy Cohen — tweeted, “The tenth anniversary of #THEOC! Bagels and schmears for all! Many thanks for the kind words. We were a lucky bunch. Cheers!”

In response to Josh’s original tweet, Melinda Clarke – aka Julie Cooper-Nichol-Roberts-something — thanked the show’s creator, calling that time in her life “amazing.”

Autumn Reeser – who ended up with Ryan (Ben McKenzie) — tweeted, “Really enjoying all this 10th anniversary #OC buzz today! Thanks, everyone!!”

Sadly, neither Ben nor Mischa Barton nor Adam Brody tweeted about this momentous occasion. In fact, Adam hasn’t tweeted since March. Can someone check on him please?

HollywoodLifers, what’s YOUR favorite memory from The O.C.? Drop it in a comment below!
