The Brain Behind ‘Gilmore Girls’ Explains the Meaning of Those Last Four Words


Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and her husband, Gilmore co-executive producer Daniel Palladino, are making the rounds to discuss Netflix’s Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, specifically the short conversation Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Rory (Alexis Bledel) have at the very end.






For those who don’t know, here’s how it ended: “Mom,” Rory says to Lorelai as they sit on the steps of the Stars Hollow gazebo. “Yeah?” Lorelai asks. Rory turns to face her mother. “I’m pregnant,” she says. Then the screen cuts to black. Aaarrggghh!

Naturally, the internet exploded after the revival premiered last Friday (Nov. 29, 2016). Is it Logan’s (Matt Czuchry) baby (apparently Czuchry knows the truth), and how will it affect their relationship? And what about Jess (Milo Ventimiglia), who seems to clearly still love Rory?

Amy told Vulture, “We didn’t really know what that last season was until we got into it and then we asked a lot of questions and we found out where the show ended. The show could have ended in a different place that made those last four words completely irrelevant. So we went into breaking this in a way that we were really looking at it like these three women are at a crossroads. The patriarch has died and what’s the way forward for them?”

She explains that they could have ended the original series with the same four words, but it was more interesting to have Rory be pregnant at the same age Lorelei was when we first met her. “That’s just an interesting kind of dynamic. When we met Lorelai, she was 32 and that’s where she was in her life and now we’re leaving Rory at 32 with the thing on the horizon. It felt kind of cooler to us to do it now than if we had done it when we were still on the WB.”

The Palladinos also spoke with BuzzFeed about the ending and said it wouldn’t out the realm of possibilities for Rory not to keep the baby. “The abortion issue is so weird, you know, because it’s so testy with the world, especially the KKK world that we now live in. But I think that somebody as smart as Rory is going to take a step back and look at all the angles, and then make her decision, because it’s too important a job to make the wrong decision when it comes to kids.”

The bigger question, however, is front and center: Does this mean they are setting things up for another Gilmore Girls go-around? “Nope, not at all,” Sherman-Palladino told Vulture. “We’ve always tried to not wrap things up in a bow. We tried to do that on the series. Because life isn’t like that. You can have a good moment with a parent you are estranged from, and you have a great moment, and then the next time you see them, everything’s back to the way it was before and you guys are throwing knives at each other. Life doesn’t tend to fix things or wrap them up in bows. Because of that, we wanted the ending of this to not have a pat ‘And they all lived happily ever after!'” Sigh.


Oh, and if you want to binge-watch the four 90-minute episodes again (and why wouldn’t you?), then you have to get yourself one of these Binge Candles, created by Netflix.

When you start your marathon of all four episodes, you start burning the Binge Candle. As it burns, it’s perfectly timed to give off a different scent for each episode that correlates to that season. Cool, right?!










,THIS IS US': Chrissy Metz Is OK To Go and Very Happy to Lose Weight for ,This is Us'


She’s ready to get fit! Chrissy Metz is excited to slim down for her role on This Is Us, but clarified that weight loss isn’t mandated for the hit freshman drama during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Thursday, December 1.






The 37-year-old actress plays Kate, a woman who struggles with her weight and attends Overeaters Anonymous meetings, on the NBC drama. “Like most actors, we are chameleons,” Metz explained. “We play different roles — like Christian Bale lost all that weight for The Machinist.”


Metz previously said that she was contractually obligated to shed the pounds, but explained to host Ellen DeGeneres that it’s actually something she wants to do. “I was kind of like, 'I hope I get to lose weight.' That’s a win-win for me — motivated in a different way this time,” she said. “It wasn’t mandated. It wasn’t like, ‘You have to do this.’ But if this is the story line, naturally you would lose weight. So I’m excited if that should happen.”

When DeGeneres, 58, asked Metz about a recent episode where Kate decides to get gastric bypass surgery, the American Horror Story: Freak Show actress stayed mum about how that would play out in real life. “It is a fast fix, and it’s not always the right answer,” she said of the procedure. “I can’t give it away too much.”

Metz continued, “I think with the character, Kate, she wants a quick fix because it’s not about the food. Food is the symptom. We’ll get to see all the details.”

As previously reported, last month the actress told TVLine, “In our contract, it did state that that would be a part of it, to lose the weight in the trajectory of the character as she comes to find herself,” she said. “I, as Chrissy, want to do things that mentally, emotionally and physically make me the best that I can be. That’s the intention for our writers and the development of the character."
This Is Us airs on NBC Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET.










Another Episode Of Tears From 'This Is Us' : Big Moments From Mandy Moore's Show to Make You Ugly Cry


Another week, another bucket full of tears. This Is Us' Tuesday, November 29, episode proved yet again that our tear reservoirs are bottomless pits when it comes to the Pearson family and their never-ending drama.
Here are eight moments from this week's episode that made us ugly cry all over ourselves. 






Randall Made a List of His Mom's Betrayals
Randall’s making a list, he’s checking it twice, and it’s very sad! The episode kicked off with a furious Randall (Sterling K. Brown) making a list of all the ways he was betrayed by mother Rebecca (Mandy Moore). He then confronted his biological father, William (Ron Cephas Jones), saying, “You acted like you didn’t remember abandoning me.” Ouch.
Little Randall Wanted to Know His Biological Parents
The episode then jumped back in time to the '80s, where we saw a young Randall desperately asking other African-American people in his town if they could also roll their tongues — a genetic trait. Explaining to his parents, the desperate kiddo said, “If I can find people who can roll their tongues, they could be my birth parents.” When Rebecca pretended that she had no idea who his biological parents were, it made us want to scream!
Olivia Brought Her Ex-Boyfriend to Kevin's Family Cabin
Randall, Kevin (Justin Hartley) and Kate (Chrissy Metz) then decided to escape the Thanksgiving chaos and head to their family cabin for one last trip before it's sold. This heartwarming moment lasted for all of 10 seconds when Justin’s new flame, Olivia (Janet Montgomery), arrived with two friends in tow — one of them being her ex-boyfriend. We agreed with Kate when she scoffed and said to Olivia, "Who are you right now?"
Randall Took Magic Mushrooms and Talked to His Dead Dad
The best part of the episode had to be when Randall accidentally drank Olivia's ex-boyfriend Ash's magic-mushroom-filled smoothie. The usually uptight Randall spent his shroom trip talking to a hallucination of his father, Jack (Milo Ventimiglia). This beautiful sequence of events led to a confrontation between the father and son duo. Randall said, "You never wanted me either. I was a replacement for your dead baby. That’s all I’ve ever been."
Our tear ducts exploded when Jack said, “The moment I saw you, I knew you were my boy. You weren’t a choice, Randall. You were a fact. You were never a replacement son.” Jack eventually led Randall to discover that his mom sacrificed a lot for him and only ever wanted to protect them.


Kevin Bared His Soul to Olivia — and She Ran Away
We were shocked to see Olivia rudely snuggling up to her ex while watching old videos with Kevin and the rest of the gang. Kevin immediately called her out and said, “That kiss that we had yesterday. … Those feelings were real, and I know you know that. … I’m not sure you’ve experienced anything real your entire life." He then accused his British costar and co-kisser of having an "empty human shell." Olivia stormed out with Ash, and Kevin made what may possibly be the best joke of this entire series when he said, "It was a Brexit." Tears — sometimes tears of laughter, but still tears.
Jack Did Push-Ups With Randall on His Back
Back in the '80s, we saw as Jack and Rebecca attempted to introduce strong black male role models into their adopted son's life. In a great speech, Randall’s new karate teacher, Ray, explained, “The world isn’t always a kind place, especially to men like us. … We are your community. When things get hard, we are going to be the ones that hold each other up.” Ray then asked Jack to do push-ups with little Randall on his back to prove he would always be there for his son. We wonder if that includes being there in mushroom-hallucination form — either way, we had ourselves the ugliest of ugly cries at this father-son bonding moment.


We Found Out the Reason for Rebecca's Letter to William
In a series of flashbacks throughout the episode, Rebecca visited William following Randall’s insistence at finding his biological parents. We saw a young, clean-cut William explain he’s “been clean for over five years.” William then revealed that he’s been wanting to get in touch about Randall but didn’t know where to find Rebecca.
She explained, “He’s been asking about you. He really wants to meet his father, and so that’s why I’m here.” William got so excited that he jumped out of his chair. Rebecca then became overwhelmed and rushed home to Jack, where she admitted why she can’t “try” to find Randall’s parents. She said, “What if they’re great? What if they regret abandoning him. … I cannot lose my son.” She then sent William a letter explaining why he couldn’t be in Randall’s life, saying, “This is for the best for him because he has an extraordinary father who gives him everything he needs. I hope you take comfort in knowing just how loved Randall is.” When William placed the letter inside of a manuscript called “Poems for My Son,” we completely lost it. The tears! The inconsolable heartbreak!
Randall Sort of Forgave His Mom…for Now
Back at the house and after some mushroom-fueled closure, it seemed that Randall might finally be able to forgive his mother for her betrayal. Randall coldly opened the door and said to his mom, "You kept that secret for 36 years. That must have been incredibly lonely." Rebecca instantly started sobbing and reaching for her son, who recoiled and said “Not yet. I'll see you at Christmas.” When will the drama end?!
We could probably name 3,000 more ugly cries that this episode gave Us, but there literally aren’t enough hours in the day to recount them. Like, when Toby (Chris Sullivan) told Kate to stop calling him? And when we saw the kids’ names carved into a tree?! What city does this show take place in? Oh yeah, tear city. Tear City: Population Us.
Comment on IPRESSTV: Will Randall ever completely forgive Rebecca?
This Is Us airs on NBC Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET









'The Walking Dead': Steven Yeun Reveals The Fate Of Glenn


Was it not too early for that!? Steven Yeun spoke out about the fate of his beloved character, Glenn, right after the season 7 premiere aired on AMC on Sunday, October 23.


Glenn and Abraham (Michael Cudlitz) were turned into a bloody, pulpy mess of dead flesh by Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and his barbed wire-covered baseball bat, Lucille, much to fans' horror.


"I think Glenn died in a very Glenn way," Yeun, one of the show's original castmembers, said in an interview on Talking Dead Live on Sunday night. "Still not thinking about himself. It's appropriate that he ends there, and it's also appropriate that he kind of puts those last words out there as a final 'look out for each other.'"

In case you missed it, Glenn's final words were, "Maggie, I'll find you."
Yeun also talked about the challenges of keeping his character's death a secret for so long.

"It came with its own set of difficulties," he told host Chris Hardwick. "Going into it there was excitement in the sense of when you know something someone else doesn't know you're like, 'Yeah, I know stuff. It's cool.' Then after a while you're like, 'I don't like knowing this by myself.' And then you just dive into a hole after a while because you're not allowed to say anything. But I'm very lucky to have my castmates and my friends here to bounce my feelings off of or however I'm processing things."

"It was fun to lie to people for a minute," he added. "But after a while you just can't lie anymore so I just stopped talking to people."








The 'Rocky Horror Picture Show': We Deliver All the Wild Info of Fox's Laverne Cox Musical Remake Right Here


8:52 p.m. ET: OK, make that three obsessions, once Adam Lambert came out as Eddie. (He died pretty quickly in a Frank-N-Furter “mercy killing,” so it went back down to two favorite obsessions in short order.)





8:36 p.m. ET: When Frank-N-Furter crooned, “I’ll show you my favorite obsession,” she became ours! That is, until we finally got to see Staz Nair as Rocky. Then, we just had two favorite obsessions.
8:20 p.m. ET: Uh, was it just Ipresstv, or was Christina Milian’s interpretation of the Magenta character, like, perfectly unhinged? Obviously, the “Time Warp” scene was way fun (because let’s face it: they couldn’t afford to mess it up), but it was Cox’s debut that stole the show during this act.
8:16 p.m. ET: There he is! Curry’s first appearance as the Criminologist got a big round of applause from … the audience?! Yeah, Fox’s version of Rocky Horror was shot from the perspective of the fans who attend midnight showings of the original in costume and with props! Cool nod to the diehards, right? It was fun to see them put their newspapers over the heads as Janet and Brad found themselves trapped in the rain and made their way to a nearby house to use a phone …
8:10 p.m. ET: We didn’t have any rice to throw at the screen during the wedding scene, but trust Ipresstv: we were doing it in spirit! Victoria Justice sparked as Janet, delivering her lines in a breathy, dramatic squeal, and Ryan McCarten (as Brad, of course) couldn’t have looked more eager while proposing to her. We were really feeling the showrunners’ decision to put the “Dammit Janet” sequence in a cemetery — it added an even campier and darker feel than the original, if possible! 
8:06 p.m. ET: Here we go! We are shivering with antici… oh, if you’re RHPS fan, you already know! Anyway, this started off with a bang: Ivy Levan (as the Usherette) welcomed Us to the show with her star-making performance of “Science Fiction Double Picture,” and we could not be more impressed with her sultry vocals or amazing costume. Nice red fishnets, Ivy! Very Rocky Horror.
8 p.m. ET: Great Scott! It’s time to head back to Denton, Ohio (or Transsexual, Transylvania; whichever you prefer!), as Fox’s The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let’s Do the Time Warp Again is finally here! 
Sure, no one will be throwing rice at their televisions or wearing newspapers on their heads in their living rooms, but Fox’s musical remakes have really been killing it lately (Grease: Live, anyone?), so there’s no need to worry you’re missing out on the participation, if you ask ipresstv


The details that have previously leaked about the taped production have had us dying to see it for months. We know that Laverne Cox is playing Dr. Frank-N-Furter, and that the original Frank-N-Furter, Tim Curry, is now the Criminologist/narrator! 
The cast also includes Victoria Justice as Janet,Ryan McCarten as Brad, Adam Lambert as Eddie and Reeve Carney as Riff Raff.
We also know that Kenny Ortega directed this, so will it have a little bit of a High School Musical feel? There’s only one way to find out, so without further ado. … We would like, if we may, to take you on a strange journey!
Be sure to refresh this post throughout the event for our by-the-minute updates. 
The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let’s Do the Time Warp Again airs on Fox Wednesday, October 20, at 8 p.m. ET. 









Watch the first teaser trailer of Marvel's Iron Fist


The final Defender has arrived.
At New York Comic Con on Saturday night, Netflix released a new teaser trailer for its forthcoming series Marvel’s Iron Fist, starring Finn Jones (Game of Thrones) as the title hero.
“You are a living weapon,” says an off-screen narrator in the first look. The show focuses on Danny Rand, a.k.a Iron Fist, who trains with the people of K’un-Lun following a personal tragedy, and later returns to New York to fight crime with help from the magical fighting style he was taught. In addition to Jones, the series stars Jessica Henwick (as Colleen Wing), Jessica Stroup (as Joy Meachum), Tom Pelphrey (as Ward Meachum), David Wenham (as Harold Meachum), and Rosario Dawson (as Claire Temple).



“I love the character,” Jones said “What really drew me was the character and the story. I really enjoy how he’s a superhero with a real heart but has spiritual elements as well. I think it’s going to be an exciting character to play because there’s this contraction of on one hand he’s from a very wealthy family, he’s a billionaire, on the other hand he’s been in this world of K’un-Lun for a long time where he’s learned kung fu and buddhist philosophy. There’s a contradiction in those elements that’s going to be really fun to play.”
This week, Netflix revealed Iron Fist would debut its first season on March 17, 2017. The series is the fourth in Netflix’s Defenders quartet, following DaredevilJessica Jones, and Luke Cage. The stars of those series – Charlie Cox, Krysten Ritter, and Mike Colter, respectively – along with Jones will unite for a Marvel’s The Defenders as well.

Orange Is the New Black Star Get Engaged This Week and it is Laura Prepon






It is a huge week for ~love~ for the Orange Is the New Black cast members.
People magazine confirmed on Wednesday, October 5 that Laura Prepon—who plays Alex on the hit Netflix show—is engaged to actor Ben Foster. The two made their red carpet debut as a couple Tuesday night (October 4) at the New York City premiere of Prepon's film, The Girl on the Train. Prepon sported a sparkly ring on that finger, setting the rumor mill ablaze—only it's true this time. See the beautiful ring for yourself in the photo, below:


Prepon and Foster are a rather new Hollywood couple. It was only a few months ago that people speculated they were an item after spotting them together all over New York City. However, Prepon actually knows Foster from her That's 70s Show days. (He's tight with her former costar, Danny Masterson.)
And this is the second Orange Is the New Black engagement confirmed this week. On Monday, Time reported that Samira Wiley—Poussey Washington on OITNB—is engaged to one of the show's writer-producers, Lauren Morelli. Wiley posted a photo of the ring to her Instagram account with a simple, beautiful caption: "Yes."


Litchfield? More like Lovefield. Congratulations to the happy couples! Please letLaverne Cox officiate both ceremonies.




Donald Trump Was Mocked to His Face Last Night on “Jimmy Fallon” By The Roots



Last night, Donald Trump was a guest on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” The Roots, the “Fallon” house band, play a song to introduce the entrance of every guest on the show. The song they choose for Donald Trump’s entrance was Erykah Badu’s “20 Feet Tall” (fromNew Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh). As Trump entered, the Roots sang the lines “Then you, you built a wall/ A 20-foot wall / So I couldn’t see,” as Think Progress points out. This seemed to mock Trump’s campaign promise to force Mexico to build and pay for an enormous wall along the U.S.’s southern border. Watch the clip below. The Roots begin playing the song around the 11:30 mark.





It isn’t the first time the Roots have introduced a political guest on “Fallon” with a pointed song. In 2011, they played Fishbone’s “Lyin' Ass Bitch” during Michele Bachmann’s appearance. Afterwards, NBC said they would screen the Roots’ song choices.


Here's Badu's original song:




Watch the trailer for 'American Pastoral' Movie Here

SCROLL DOWN TO WATCH THE VIDEO

The movie is based on a novel titled American Pastoral'.   It is a Philip Roth novel published in 1997 concerning Seymour "Swede" Levov, a successful Jewish American businessman and former high school star athlete from Newark, New Jersey. Levov's happy and conventional upper middle class life is ruined by the domestic social and political turmoil of the 1960s during the presidency of Lyndon B. Johnson, which in the novel is described as a manifestation of the "indigenous American berserk." The novel won the Pulitzer Prize in 1998 and was included in Time's "All-TIME 100 Greatest Novels." The film rights to it were later optioned by Paramount Pictures. In 2006, it was one of the runners-up in the "What is the Greatest Work of American Fiction in the Last 25 Years?" contest held by the New York Times Book Review.





The framing device in American Pastoral is a 45th high school reunion attended by frequent Roth alter ego Nathan Zuckerman, who is the narrator. At the reunion, in 1995, Zuckerman meets former classmate Jerry Levov who describes to him the tragic derailment of the life of his recently deceased older brother, Seymour "Swede" Levov, who succumbed to metastatic prostate cancer at age 68. After Seymour's teenage daughter Merry, in 1968, set off a bomb in protest against American involvement in the Vietnam War, killing a bystander, and subsequently went into hiding, Seymour Levov remained traumatized for the rest of his life. The rest of the novel consists of Zuckerman's posthumous recreation of Seymour Levov's life, based on Jerry's revelation, a few newspaper clippings, and Zuckerman's own impressions after two brief run-ins with "the Swede," in 1985 and shortly before Seymour's death from prostate cancer, at age 68, in 1995. In these encounters, which take place early in the novel, Zuckerman learns that Seymour has remarried and has three young sons, but Seymour's daughter Merry is never mentioned. In Zuckerman's reimagining of Seymour's life, this second marriage has no part; it ends in 1973 with Watergate unraveling on TV while the previous lives of the protagonists completely disintegrate.

Several Movie-Lovers Pass Out During the Screening of Cannibal Movie 'Raw'



"The film became too much for a couple patrons," said Ryan Werner, who is handling the film's marketing on the ground at TIFF.

A Midnight Madness screening of the cannibal film Raw turned into a medical scene early Tuesday morning as paramedics were called to treat multiple audience members who had passed out.





"An ambulance had to be called to the scene as the film became too much for a couple patrons," said Ryan Werner, who is handling the film's marketing on the ground at the Toronto Film Festival and was at the screening.
The graphic film has become a must-see for horror fans after taking the FIPRESCI Critics' Prize in May at the Cannes Film Festival, where it made its world premiere without incident.
The mobbed screening also had top agents and managers on hand jockeying for the attention of director Julia Ducournau, who is currently unsigned.
The French-language film about a vegetarian college student who slowly becomes a cannibal became one of the most buzzed-about European films out of Cannes for its potential to cross over with U.S. audiences (Focus World bought the film out of Cannes). 
Raw will next screen at Fantastic Fest, followed by Mayhem Film Festival, Celluloid Screams, Beyond Fest and the Sitges Film Festival.
Werner said he had only seen this type of physical reaction to a movie before with Lars von Trier's Antichrist.

Watch Amber Rose as She Debuts Her First Gorgeous Dance on Dancing With the Stars



Amber Rose officially just proved she's going to be a force to be reckoned with on this season of Dancing With the Stars.





During the season premiere Monday, Amber finally got to meet her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy, and the two immediately hit it off. From the start, Amber said he was a great match for her, and everyone could instantly feel their potential dance floor chemistry.
After learning they would be doing the foxtrot, the two then got down to work. At first, Amber expressed concerns over the fact she wasn't enough of a "princess" for the dance, but Maksim quickly reassured her that he had her back and helped her relax with his goofy sense of humor.
The two started their routine with a sexy little introduction that had the whole audience fanning themselves.
And, once they actually got to the foxtrot, things only got better. Contrary to Amber's fears that she wasn't enough of a "princess" for the routine, she looked like total royalty on the floor.
To make the whole thing even cuter, her BFF Blac Chyna was there to help cheer her on.
To find out if Amber and Maksim make it to the next round, tune in to Dancing With the Stars tomorrow night on ABC.

All the Crazy Drama That Happens on the Premiere of Rob and Chyna





 "I hope there's no coyotes out here." With that, we all began a special journey into Rob and  Chyna, into the private lives of Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna, and into the process of bringing a new, tiny Kardashian into the world. (The first official Kardashian baby!) I think we can all agree that plenty of emotional coyotes lie ahead, so let's get right to it.





First Things First To be clear, I knew very little about Black Chyna before watching last night's episode, aside from scraps of her backstory and a few major social media moments and, of course, the Kardashians' side of everything. And so it's still very much the honeymoon phase between her and I. But so far, I like the shit out of Chyna, guys. Mostly because she absolutely, completely, more than anyone who has ever been a part of this franchise, doesn't give a single fuck.
Don't get me wrong! I'm not underselling Kourtney, Kim, and especially Khloé's ability to roll their eyes and walk away from a situation, but ultimately, they still want one another's support and appreciation. Chyna's tough as shit and also has a lot to do, so she's not trying to talk you into liking her.
Watching her speak to Rob is kind of astonishing, because we've watched all the Kardashians talk to and about him as though he was spun sugar. When he steps on the scale and is disappointed with the results, her response is a blunt but not mean: "I told you, start running more and getting it in." When she's irritated with Rob's family, she doesn't try to conceal it, rolling her eyes and saying, "I guess that's just the Kardashian family! Talk talk talk talk talk." When he's being insecure, she frankly reminds him that she doesn't like that.
Also, she takes her son to a trampoline place, then catwalks down the middle of the trampolines instead of jumping with him, and I respect this as a life choice forever. Amen.
Don't Televise Your Disappointment In Your Child's Sex As is traditional for reality television programs which revolve around the birth of a child, Rob and Chyna get the ultrasound to find out their baby's sex. Rob finds multiple ways to bring up that he really, really wanted a son, then does not find a way to conceal his disappointment when he learned they'd be having a girl. He rallies later, but that's kind of a lot to explain away to your future child. Oof.
Stray Observation Chyna loves all butts! Not just her own!
Well, That Escalated Quickly The episode goes from Chyna literally saying, "Better get you a Rob, ladies" to her kicking him out of the house for a fight that seems … flimsy? Rob gives her shit for changing the passcode on her phone, which is a REAL dangerous game to start playing, because it sets Chyna off into thinking that maybe he's cheating on her. (PSA: It is 100 percent appropriate for people's passcodes to be private, even if they're engaged. Or married. Or literally anything.)
After a screaming fight on the phone — respect to Chyna for knowing enough to look out the window in the car while she was yelling, because none of us look our prettiest at that level of irate — Rob comes home with a bouquet of flowers and laughs his way through an apology. And the flowers are bad. Like, the best way to describe the arrangement he chooses is that I PERSONALLY COULD'VE AFFORDED IT. Chyna hurls it in the pool. I would call this an immature act, but I once threw my ex-boyfriend's iPod off a balcony, and it was one of the greatest feelings of my life. Team Chyna.
Stray Observation #2 Chyna has the most secure, gated pool I've ever seen on reality TV, which makes me like her even more. Safety first!
Early Contender for Spinoff Within A Spinoff NANNY JOY. Nanny freaking Joy. This woman is not only television gold, she is life gold. Whether she's manhandling raw chicken, helping tiny King wash his fleet of toddler-sized cars, or giving Chyna life advice, she's reliably sweet and engaged and real. She's the one who first starts nudging Chyna toward trying to make up with Rob, pointing out that among other things, it is not logistically feasible to kick your boyfriend out of the house at all hours of the night.
Who Kept Up? This week, in a recurring feature in which I note which members of the KUWTKgang stopped by to say hello, I feature Scott and Kris. Scott will apparently be on literally any Bunim-Murray production for any reason, but setting that aside, it's nice to see him with Rob. Since Scott's also a survivor of the tabloid grind and a father, he has good advice to give Rob, and isn't afraid to ask why the fuck he's not taking his insulin. (I will try not to insert this rant every week, and Rob's health is his own, but I get really angry about people who have resources to address their health and opt not to.)
And then there was Kris — Rob gets mocked pretty mercilessly for being a mama's boy, but in part he's just immature. He doesn't know what to do if the toilet overflows.And that's sort of the problem, Chyna points out, in a "surprise" conversation with Kris. (When Chyna "spontaneously" knocks on her door, Kris answers already wearing a mic pack.) Rob isn't particularly mature, and he doesn't have a lot going on in his own life, and so he picks fights just for something to do. Kris and Chyna aren't going to be best friends, but they're going to be family, and it seems like they're starting to figure out how.
Second-to-Last Words "If you weren't getting kicked out, it'd be weird." -Scott Disick, professional boyfriend to pregnant ladies
Last Words "You gonna sit right here and cry about jelly that you ate?" -Chyna's friend Paige, articulating what it's like to have a pregnant BFF
