‘Once Upon a Time’: 9 Burning Questions From The Season Premiere

by 17 mins ago

Once Upon a Time” kicked off with a chilly start in the Season 4 premiere, “A Tale of Two Sisters.” It was triple the Disney in the episode, too — not only did we meet “Frozen” sisters Elsa and Anna, but we also got a sweet “Beauty and the Beast” dance scene and a glimpse at a potential Mickey Mouse moment in the future.

Though we were satisfied by Regina’s quest to find a happy ending and Emma and Hook’s kiss, we still have a lot of questions about what’s happening in Storybrooke. Read on to see all of the things that still have us scratching our heads.

1. Who is the author of Henry’s fairy tale book?

Since August is dead (R.I.P., wooden friend), no one can ask him about the author. So, how will Regina locate him or her?

2. Are Snow and Charming taking a backseat this season?

We understand that stars Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas were busy taking care of their real-life newborn baby, but the premiere hardly featured them at all. Will Mary Margaret and David sit down this season instead of getting in the action?

3. Is Robin really going to choose boring Marian over Regina? He’s her true love!

‘Once Upon A Time’: All The Biggest Moments On ‘A Tale Of Two Sisters’

by 7 mins ago

After months of torturous anticipation, “Once Upon a Timefinally debuted its big “Frozen” premiere on Sunday (September 28), with a flashback-heavy episode that gave us the “Tale of Two Sisters” while also revealing an exciting new path for Regina, as well as a certain iconic hat that promises more Disney goodness to come.

Read on for all of the biggest moments, but be warned: spoilers (and snowmen) lie ahead!

A ‘Frozen’ Plot Gets A Makeover

ELIZABETH LAIL, GEORGINA HAIGABC


First thing’s first, Iggy Azalea is the realest. Also, on “Once Upon A Time,” the “Frozen” plot was revealed so let’s start with that.

So, as it turns out, when the King and Queen of Arendelle set off on that ill-fated boat voyage in the movie, they were really going to find something that might help Elsa’s little “problem.” The show’s version of Elsa learned about this after the events of the film and told her sister, so before Anna was able to marry Kristoff, she — despite Elsa’s objections — set off for sights unknown to get her hands on whatever it was that her parents were looking for.

Only problem is, that something-something was located in the Enchanted Forrest, and we all know what happened there. What happened to Anna during the curse is still unknown, though her necklace is in Gold’s shop, which I guess is a good sign? Either way, Elsa is now in Storybrooke for good, and she kicked off her tenure by ...

Monster Truck Rally In The Netherlands Turned Deadly When A Vehicle Veered Off Course

by 23 mins ago

Over a dozen people have been injured in a shocking monster truck crash that left several people dead in the Netherlands on Sunday (September 28).

The city of Haaksbergen is grieving after the accident, where a monster truck equipped with tractor-sized wheels went off course. In a video of the incident, the truck can be seen knocking down a safety rail and driving into the crowd, following a stunt where the driver leaps over the top of a row of cars. A faulty accelerator pedal or brake failure are allegedly the cause of the incident.

There is video of the incident available via The Hollywood Reporter, but it the video shows the whole event. If you’re not comfortable with that, go ahead and skip.

Local police have been unable to confirm the number dead and/or injured, but conflicting reports have confirmed that at least one child and one adult are dead, with potentially a third (either adult or child) also deceased.

Reports from The Hollywood Reporter and The Guardian put the number of injured anywhere between 15 and 18, with 6 of those injuries reportedly serious.

According to a press conference held by mayor Hans Gerritsen on Dutch national broadcaster NOS, two children and one adult were killed — a number lated revised to say one child and two adults, before that number being changed, again, to one child and one adult.

As of publication, the exact number of dead was still unknown.

Jennifer Lopez Has Some Choice Hashtags For The Drunk Driver That Rear-Ended Her

by 20 mins ago

Jennifer Lopez is not happy about being rear-ended in her car Saturday (September 27) morning. But who would be, particularly when you’re not in the wrong in the situation!

There you are, having a nice little Saturday in your new ride, just driving along with your children and best friend (actress Leah Remini), minding your own business and abiding the law of the red light. That anger only increasing upon the realization that the offending driver was drunk (allegedly).

“Sitting at a light, Riding high right before some drunk fool rear ended us in my new whip!!!,” the singer Instagrammed. “Thank god everyone ok!!! #GRATEFUL #THANKYOUGOD #DontdrinkandDrive!!!! #cursedthatfoolout #theBronxcameout #dontmesswithmycocnuts #mamabear #leahstayedcalm #thatwasweird”

According to TMZ, Remini was driving Lopez and her two children in Lopez’s vehicle when they were hit by a pickup truck driver at a red light in Malibu. The driver of the truck rear-ended them before fleeing the scene, but luckily area police were able to locate the driver, subsequently arresting him for both driving under the influence and instigating a hit-and-run.

Thank goodness everyone was OK! Gotta love that she shouted out her Bronx roots in the hashtags though. Jenny from the block still amirite?

Too much exuberance for one person. Follow her on Twitter @alicialutes.

20 Things We Learned From James Franco’s SNL Documentary

by 1 min ago

On Friday, Hulu Plus made available doer-of-literally-everything James Franco‘s NYU thesis film, “Saturday Night,” a documentary on what goes on behind-the-scenes each week on “Saturday Night Live” (not to be confused with a similarly focused documentary called “Saturday Night Live Backstage” that came out in 2011). And though it may be more of a fly-on-the-wall look at the process rather than anything particularly in-depth, there was still plenty of interesting stuff to learn for anyone who’s a fan of the long-running sketch comedy series.

What did WE learn upon watching it? Lots — particularly when it comes to the looney-bin-esque process it takes to get the funny on TV week in and week out. We’ve highlighted the biggest takeaways below.

1. It’s not about Franco, but there’s a lot of him in it.

Though he stays mostly behind the lens, Franco’s voice is heard in several interviews, and he even appears on screen a few times to wax poetic on the sketch show’s inner workings.

2. The documentary focuses on John Malkovich’s hosted show from December 6, 2008.

Oh that Malkovich. He’s just so Malkovich.

3. SNL pitch meetings are “50% bullshit, 50% actual pitches.”

At least so sayeth Will Forte: “If you pitch something that’s funny, you’ve blown the joke.” So lots of times, writers and actors won’t even pitch the sketch they end up working on, saving the funny for the read-through.

4. If “Dangerous Liaisons” was performed in a hot ...

You Can’t Even Imagine How Cute A Capybara Eating A Popsicle Is

by 1 min ago

Okay, I know that summer is officially over and fall is on its way, but if you’re like me, you want just one last thing to remind you of the yellow golden happiness that was summertime. Enter a capybara (!) named Joe Joe. Yup, it is the cutest name a capybara has ever been given, thanks for asking.

Anyway, so there’s this capybara and he’s into summer too, so he’s celebrating summer by eating the most summery treat of all: a popsicle.

How could a capybara eat a popsicle?! How would it hold one, for instance? How would it hold one and then lick it simultaneously? Well, Joe Joe gets by with a little help from his friends and gets that popsicle licked.

Here are the steps for what I imagine Joe Joe’s thought process was for consuming this popsicle:

First, feign disinterest. Gets ‘em every time.

Then, just give a little taste. Don’t come on too strong.

anigif_enhanced-3009-1411752689-10

Once you know you’re in, that’s when you take a big chomp out of the cold, delicious treat.

anigif_enhanced-22938-1411752836-4

You really need to just watch the whole video to get the full effect with sound etc. It’s also worth noting that this capybara has his own Youtube channel and he sometimes plays with puppies and other cute stuff. Basically his whole life is devoted to cuteness.

Work it Joe Joe, work it. Summer vibes achieved!

Ciara Has Been Rocking Couture All Over Paris For Fashion Week

by 2 mins ago

Ciara has gone through a lot of changes this year but one thing has remained perfectly stable—her killer style.

She might have given birth to an uber-adorable baby boy and experienced some rockiness in her relationship with fellow musician, Atlanta rapper Future, but Ciara hasn’t let anything stop her from stepping out in true star style during Paris Fashion Week.

Today (September 28) she posted several stunning photos of herself in a Givenchy dress—#NoFilter:

And earlier this week she rocked a clothespin-heavy number on her way to Haider Ackermann:

We’ve always been HUGE fans of Ciara’s sartorial choices and the statuesque diva is back in couture fighting form, as evidenced by her charming Instagram posts this past week.

Rocking a slicked back pony (which she calls a “ninja ponytail”) and the sleekest of suits, Ciara seemed calm and collected.

She even gave us a taste of her French!

We’re so glad to have you back and rocking it like only the fiercest can! Pretty sure we have the perfect soundtrack for this too… *cues up “I’m Out”*

I'm actually a disco ball in human form.

Did Justin Bieber’s Caribbean Vacation Inspire Him To Release New Music?

by 1 hour ago

Our boy is back!

These past two years have certainly been eventful for Justin Bieber. In fact, I’d go ahead and say that “eventful” is an understatement. And yet, through it all, he’s still maintained a progressive and interesting musical output.

The end of 2013 saw the official release of Journals, a stunning (seriously!) collection of singles that Justin released, one-by-one, starting in early October. Each new release caught he attention of a slew of music outlets and showcased Justin’s more adult sound.

And it looks like 2014 will offer audiences a chance to discover more of Justin’s new music … or at least anticipate it greatly.

After a series of posts showcasing his recent trip to the Caribbean—which included ATV rides, long jaunts on boats, and palm trees galore— Justin posted a contemplative pic of himself standing on a hill.

“I’ve been on this break for too long. #newmusic #back2work #vacationtimesup #longoverdue,” he wrote, much to the glee of his still-adoring fans.

We’re excited to see what you’ll be cooking up next, Justin!

I'm actually a disco ball in human form.

Kim And Kanye’s PDA Is The Best Part Of Paris Fashion Week

by 18 mins ago

It looks like still-in-the-throes-of-love newlyweds Kanye West and Kim Kardashian have been having the best time in Paris for Fashion Week.

There was the minor run-in that Kim had with the paparazzi, but aside from that, they’ve been throwing listening parties for Kayne’s new album, watching Kim’s step-sister Kendall Jenner walk the runway for Balmain and coordinating their awesome couple style.

The city of romance must’ve put them in an affectionate mood too, because Kim posted this adorable PDA photo to Instagram last night:

The pic highlights Kanye’s new throwback haircut of course.

Kim also posted a few more photos of the couple’s matching outfits for the week:

And Kanye holding on to her ample assets:

Hey—they’re married guys it’s okay!

But even if she’s married, Kim didn’t want the world to forget her recent GQ spread either, posting what look to be a few outtakes from the spread:

Still, Kim perfectly balances her sexiness with her family life, as she and Kanye spent time with a Balenciaga-bedecked North during the fashion-heavy week too:

Yes, it looks like Paris has been very good to the West family.

‘Once Upon a Time’: 12 Things We Have To See On The Season 4 Premiere

by 3 mins ago

It’s been a long summer without “Once Upon a Time,” and it’s given us plenty of time to think about everything we have to see when the fairytale drama returns. Yes, Elsa from “Frozen” is coming, and we couldn’t be more excited to see her send frozen fractals all around… but that’s not all Season Four has to deliver:

1. All Captain Swan, all the time.

Emma and Hook Kiss on Once Upon a Time GIFABC


After that amazing kiss in the Season 3 finale, we were left wanting more. Hopefully Hook and Emma will take their relationship to the next level – whether that’s working together, making out, going on dates or a combination of all three (you know, make-out work-dates).

2. Emma using her magic, preferably while teaming up with Regina.

Emma and Regina Magic on Once Upon a Time GIF


Regina and Emma aren’t in the best place right now after Emma brought back Robin Hood’s wife, Marian, but they don’t have to stay enemies forever. We’d love to see them team up, especially if it involves both of them using their magic. Perhaps to fight Elsa?

3. Rumplestiltskin vs. Elsa and/or Regina vs. Elsa.

If Emma and Regina don’t fight Elsa, we’d love to see Regina go at it solo, or ...
