"I'm happy I got to be here and sad I have to go."
"I'm so emotional," added his partner Emma Slater. "He's made me a better person. You meet these people and he has a big heart. I'll be a better person for the rest of my life."

Kourtney & Khloe Take the Hamptons

Kourtney & Khloe Take the Hamptons Season 1 Episode 1 Recap: Scott Gets Kicked Out (Already)!

After months of hype, anticipation, promotion and celebrity gossip, the premiere of Kourtney & Khloe Take the Hamptons Season 1 Episode 1 is here at last.
We've been covering the happenings in the Hamptons and the subsequent developments thereof for months. Now it's time for a behind the scenes look.
Between Khloe Kardashian's whirlwind romance with French Montana and Scott Disick going utterly off the rails, we began with a pair of major subplots.
So what did we learn on Kourtney & Khloe Take the Hamptons Season 1 Episode 1, and what's to come next? Where to even begin with these people ...
It's apparent from the onset that only Kourtney Kardashian actually wants to take the Hamptons. Khloe just wants to take off with French Montana.
Scott? He just wants to take naps and/or shots. Dude is just not feeling it and Kourtney gets very upset at the way he parties all night and sleeps all day.
She wants to bond as a family of four and nest while she’s pregnant with their third child. Scott would rather let loose with his friends and Khloe.
All it all, it makes you wonder how they're even together.
If you watch Kourtney & Khloe Take the Hamptons online, you'd be very surprised that these two are a couple. She clearly can't stand him whatsoever.
Rather than reaching out or trying to get to the root of his obvious issues, though, Kourt just keeps on criticizing her man and as a result, pushing him away.
Don't get us wrong, the guy has some problems he should probably seek help for and is no prize himself when it comes to compromise and communication.
The one-sided conversations where both of them talk at each other and no one listens are cringe-worthy, though, and it gets worse as the episode progresses.
Khloe Kardashian Gun Photo
Really, Khloe Kardashian and French Montana?!? The couple poses here with a machine gun online.
To Kourtney's dismay, French Montana and Khloe Kardashian jet off to South Africa for a few days for the MTV performance he has planned here.
They have a blast and Khloe tries to call Kourtney afterward, but she is still ignoring her phone calls and is obviously mad that Khloe went to Africa.
She's a lot more angry at someone else, though.
Defying her and booking a club appearance in New York - which he defends as "work" or "part of his job" - Scott peaces out to go party with Tyga.
Scott Disick says going to the city to “blow off some steam” will actually be good for both of them. We'll see about that when he gets back to Southampton.
Khloe and French wake up in South Africa, have breakfast on the beach, take selfies, talk about life and go on a safari. These two are so in love.
Kourtney and Scott? Mmmyeah not so much.
Wasted at the club, Scott gets furious voicemails from Kourtney, who we also see call Kim Kardashian to rant about how friggin; sick of Scott she is.
Kim points out that Kourt has been threatening to leave Scott for seven years because of this same behavior pattern, and that desperate times call for ...
A security guard refuses to open the gate for his car when he returns, and when he proceeds to walk up to the house, Kourtney has locked him out.
He says he is not going to stop doing club appearances, but Kourtney says if he wants to die then great, but he's not welcome unless he's sober.
Scott says he has “nothing to say” and leaves.
Well, that about says it all for this week.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 6 Episode 16 Recap: The Reunion From ...

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 6 Episode 16 served as the first part of this fall's reunion special. And what a special event this turned out to be.
So what stood out the most from The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 6 Episode 16, and stood apart from crazy Bravo cast reunions past?
Well, the volatile Teresa Giudice literally stormed off the set when talk turned to her fraud indictment and impending imprisonment, so there was that.
"I need a break. You all can have the conversation without me," the star said, standing up, peacing out and asking a producer, "Where's the bathroom?"
"I don't want to be out there with that conversation," Teresa Giudice continued. "To me, family doesn't act like that. What my aunt said, very inappropriate."
Giudice was upset when her cousins Kathy Wakile and Rosie Pierri joined the show and a clip was shown in which their mother (Teresa's aunt) spoke.
She stated that if people do something wrong, it will eventually catch up with them. "This has hurt my heart," Pierri said, adding. "They're my family."
"Are we still talkin' about this," Giudice said upon returning to the episode (watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey online to see it). "If so, I'll leave again."
Table Flipping Fiend
Teresa Giudice is not gonna take any crap. Her table-flipping reputation will precede her in prison, thanks to The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 1.
Fortunately for Teresa Giudice, the feud between Dina and Caroline Manzo as well as brother Chris and Jacqueline Laurita also got a lot of attention.
"I'm not going to lie … I would never do a show with family again," said Manzo, who amended that to say she might do a cooking show with her sister.
She later became emotional and hinted that she would consider reconciling with the Manzo'd with Children star. But Jacqueline, on the other hand ...
"There are certain people, I cannot have exchanges with. It's healthier from a distance. I don't want a relationship with Jacqueline ... I don't need the chaos."
When host Andy Cohen asked Manzo about her relationship with her nephew Nicholas, who struggles with autism, she said, "I don't know Nicholas at all."
Cohen asked Amber Marchese, as many of the wives implied throughout the season, if she felt that she was playing the cancer card to earn sympathy.
"I hope to God you never get it," Marchese said. "I never used it as a sympathy card.. I wanted to use this show as a platform and, hopefully, save a life."

Say hello to The Real Housewives of New Jersey New for Season 6. They are: Dina Manzo, Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Amber Marchese, Nicole Mauriello and Teresa Aprea.

The Good Wife

The Good Wife Season 6 Episode 7 Recap: A New Contender

David Hyde Pierce made an outstanding debut on The Good Wife Season 6 Episode 7.
The multiple-time Emmy winner is now on board as Frank Prady, the popular host of a CBS talk show that Eli was convinced would win State's Attorney if he ran.
So Eli and Elfman beseeched Alicia to rest the waters and ask for an endorsement. This led to Alicia appearing on his show, prepared for some serious hardball questions.
But he went easy on Alicia, which actually flummoxed her more. She botched the interview and the team still wondered whether Prady was running and purposely threw Alicia off her game... or not.
Later on, after Elfman learned Prady was, indeed, running, he dug up an old college paper Prady wrote that was anti-Israel. He and Eli wanted to use it to pursuade Prady not to run.
Alicia shot them down... only to later see Castro on the news, slamming Prady for the paper.
This prompted Prady to pay a visit to Alicia and tell her he's running because he's sick of the personal nature of politics and he wants to change it from the inside. No longer cordial, Alicia labeled him a "hypocrite" for claiming he wasn't going to run until this paper got leaked.
We'll likely never know if that's the case, as Pierce played Prady perfectly, causing fans to wonder if he really is a good guy or a typically manipulative politician.
Either way, he's now in the race. We can't wait.
Elsewhere:
  • Peter hired his old friend, Ramona, as his personal lawyer.
  • Finn resigned because he realize Castro didn't care about Bishop, only about hurting Alicia. He may start his own firm and he may use lease from of Florrick, Agos and Lockhart's office space for it.
  • The State's Attorney drummed up an old charge against Cary, saying he made evidence against Bishop disappear a few years ago. Cary told Diane he had taken hold of it because Peter had asked him to, but he had no idea why it vanished.
  • But Kalinda tracks down a lab worker and grills her over a lot of money that suddenly dropped into her account. We learn that her cousin is the Bishop lackey that has gone missing. Doing Kalinda-like things (i.e. breaking into her car AND her GPS), Kalinda learns there whereabouts of this gang member.
  • He's now willing to testify against Bishop, but he and his cousin are killed in a car accident to close the episode.
What a great hour of television. We love Prady as a character. We love the change in Alicia as soon as he said he was running. We love how this campaign is distracting her from her law firm duties.
There are so many directions in which this all can go. Visit TV Fanatic to watch The Good Wife online and sound off now!
And this is your first look at The Good Wife Season 6 Episode 8, as the campaign is in full swing:

The Walking Dead

The Walking Dead Season 5 Episode 4: The Hospital from Hell

So... what happened to Beth?
Among other key pieces if information this question was answered on The Walking Dead Season 5 Episode 4.
We opened with Beth waking up at Atlanta’s Grady Memorial Hospital, stitches on her cheek, hand in a cast. From there, police officer Dawn Lerner and Dr. Steven Edwards entered her room, telling Beth that she had been rescued from a walker “rotter” attack.
As a result the cop eerily told her, "you owe us." Where is Daryl? You were picked up by yourself, they answered.
We later see Beth working off her supposed debt as an orderly/nurse. But it wasn’t typical work:
She helped Steven throw a ill-fated patient down an elevator shaft (where walkers were waiting to dispose of the remains) and she assistance with a procedure to stabilize a new patient named Trevitt.
Overall, Steven came across as nice enough, sharing lunch with Beth and expressing a desire for a better world. But Dawn worked with some shady officers, especially once who made sexual innuendoes over just what Beth owed him.
Beth also discovered a lollipop in her pocket as a gift from another orderly named Noah, while another prisoner/aide (Joan) was then dragged in due to a zombie bite and forcibly given a life-saving arm-ectomy.
Why did Joan try to escape when she could just work off her debt and leave? Noah told her that he'd been there a year and never seen that actually happen.
Prior to her day ending, Beth heeded Steven’s order and gave Trevitt an injection. It killed him. But to spare Beth from Dawn’s wrath, Noah took the place and got a beatdown for his kind efforts.
“Every sacrifice we make has to be for the greater good,” Dawn explained to Beth, saying she doesn’t care what her officers do as long as they’re happy. That way, they can help rebuild the world at some point.
So Beth and Noah planned an escape, one that included Beth knocking Gorman out and feeding him to Joan, who had killed herself and was now a walker.
Noah made it to freedom, but Beth was caught by the guards.
Once inside, she went off on everyone and was actually about to kill Steven with a pair of scissors when another patient walked in... CAROL!
Respond to this return now. Go watch The Walking Dead online via TV Fanatic and check out the official preview below for The Walking Dead Season 5 Episode 5, "Self Help."

Kendra on Top

Kendra on Top Season 3 Episode 8 & 9 Recap: Was Would Hugh Hefner Do?!

Last night's Kendra on Top Season 3 Episode 8 and Episode 9, airing back to back on WEtv, showed Kendra Wilkinson struggling to come to grips with ... well, life.
Considering what Hank Baskett did with Ava London, that's a tall order.
There was a lot of Kendra crying to go around, along with some thoroughly manufactured storylines to kill time as she reached out to the other men in her life.
Kicking things off on Kendra on Top Season 3 Episode 8 was an appearance by Hugh Hefner, her "boyfriend" back in the day and an expert on relationships.
Kendra, somehow brought her two young kids with her to the Playboy mansion, asked the man who made her famous what she should do about Hank.
After some deep thinking, Hef processed this as best he could.
He offered Wilkinson advice, talking about second chances and positing that it sounds like Hank was set up, a theory Kendra has espoused in recent weeks.
Hugh doesn't deny that Hank "f--ked up" (or that the whole situation is), but says "everyone deserves a second chance,” and he speaks from experience.
He certainly gave one to Crystal Harris, and he's happy now.
Hef also encouraged Kendra to call her dad, who she had not spoken to in forever and not even seen in the past 20 years, and who is now in Costa Rica.
Cue forced Kendra on Top Season 3 Episode 9 storyline!
Is she ready to see him? Will he disappoint her again, as her mom Patti tends to whenever Kendra needs filler for her show and extends that olive branch?
Not sure she can answer those questions herself, but Kendra uses the Internet to find her dad, her web search is successful and they talk over the phone.
Kendra hasn’t seen Eric since she was a kid, making it even more strange that he says he watched her life unfold in the tabloids but never reached out.
But hey, Eric invites Kendra to visit him in Costa Rica.
More on that trip (which she does make) in the coming weeks. Now it's time for more pressing matters, as Kendra visits cheating Hank at his apartment.
She grills him uncomfortably on fetishes and women with penises, asking if he went to cheat on her and only realized it was a transsexual after ...
You know. Not surprisingly, Hank ain't talkin' about it.
All he has to say is that he's devoted to her and wants her back, and she agrees to let him live at the house again, but make no mistake, it is NOT fine:
"We’re not married," she says. “I’m not your wife.”
Clearly, those things will have to come with time ... like when they renew their vows on Marriage Boot Camp. Yes, that supposedly happened this week.
Kendra and 2 Hanks
There was a time when Kendra and Hank looked to be a very happy couple. This photo was snapped in 2012.
As always, you can watch Kendra on Top online to see all of this gut-wrenching, emotional drama play out with your own eyes, and comment below:

Do you believe Hank was set up? Should she take him back? Did Hef read cue cards the entire time or just most of the time? Is any of this possibly real?
