Monday's The Bachelor Season 19 Episode 10 saw another bombshell revelation, this time courtesy of one of Chris Soules' final three women, Becca Tilley.
You don't need The Bachelor spoilers to tell you what that is, because Becca - with help from the ABC show's writers and producers - has hyped it for weeks.
Chris has had a hunch that something is up with Tilley, but can't put his finger on it. Turns out that's just it ... no one has ever put a finger (or other things) on it.
How did Becca's virginity impact her trip to the Fantasy Suite? Who was left standing at the end of the night, and whose quest for Chris' heart ended in tears?
With Jade Roper eliminated, Chris is down to just three women as this exciting installment begins: Becca Tilley, Kaitlyn Bristowe and Whitney Bischoff.
On The Bachelor Season 19 Episode 10, one would go home. Who would it be? The answer likely came as a surprise to many viewers last night.
Becca's virginity reveal was being played up like a serious liability, and perhaps it would give Chris pause, just because she has no basis for comparison?
Still, this was a guy who was forced to ogle Jade Roper Playboy photos on a laptop and he didn't judge her (he just eliminated her). So there's hope, Becs.
We began with Kaitlyn Bristowe's date, in which a monkey peed on Chris, and the beautiful brunette revealed that she is starting to really fall for him.
Chris, not the aforementioned primate.
"I am completely falling in love with you, and it's terrifying," she said, "but it's such a good feeling at the same time, and I'm just really happy with the way it's gone to get here."
Fantasy Suite card? Totes accepted.
Whitney Bischoff and Prince Farming sailed on a boat out onto the Indian Ocean, where there were gratuitous shirtless and bikini shots up the wazoo.
Chris revealed his insecurity with asking Whitney to leave her job, at which point she said she has "no hesitation" about "having babies" as her career.
You can do that in Arlington, Iowa.
Yes, Whitney Bischoff loves her life in Chicago, however, "I firmly believe that life takes you places, and it's not where you are, it's who you're with.
Kelsey Poe, 28, is a guidance counselor. She is also extremely intelligent, articulate and pretty much perfect, if you ask Kelsey Poe. She is alsoa widow, as her first husband, Sanderson Poe, tragically passed away.
Britt Nilsson, 27, is a waitress. She is alarmingly pretty and gives out free hugs on the street, but is there more to her than meets the eye? Besides the fact that she doesn't shower ... is she being forthright with Chris Soules?
Jillian Anderson, 28, is a news producer. She is jacked out of her mind and kicks ass at any athletic competitions, and has the distinction of having her lady parts covered with a black box even when she's wearing clothes (albeit short ones).
Whitney Bischoff, 29, is a fertility nurse. She literally makes babies for a living, talks like one herself, and gives off the vibe that she would love to start making Chris Soules family members at his earliest convenience.
Carly, 29, is a cruise ship singer who has been pretty sure she's been on the way out for weeks now, yet continues to hang on by a thread. Don't stop believin'!
Jade Roper, 28, is a cosmetics developer who lives in L.A., but grew up in Gering, Nebraska, and also posed for Playboy under the name Jade Elizabeth. Be sure to turn off cookies before you look that up on Google Image search.
Becca, 26, is a chiropractic assistant from San Diego, California, who has never had sexual intercourse. Not even once. Is this the virgin who makes it all the way to the fantasy suite?
Jordan, 24, is a student who got sent home in week two, then stalked Chris in Santa Fe weeks later only to be sent home again. That's a rough stint on a dating show.

After geeking out a little about the farming practices of Bali, Chris Soules and Becca Tilley got down to brass tacks ... but would they get down in other ways?!
When he revealed the Fantasy Suite card to her, she revealed something bigger "I do have something very important to share with you," Tilley began.
"It's a big part of who I am," said Becca, "but after having such an amazing time with you, I have been a little bit nervous to bring it up because it is a big deal."
"But I am a virgin."
Chris sighed and shook his head, but more out of awkwardness than anything else, and very likely because she set it up like it was something worse.
"I'm glad that you ... and I ... it's never easy to respond to this kind of stuff," Soules said, telling Becca he respected her choice, which says a lot about her.
Fantasy Suite curtains? DRAWN.
"The reality is that this is a situation where I'm falling in love, and I've been waiting for a long time to feel this. I'm 100 percent in," she told the cameras.
"I'm all in."
Was he?!
It's unclear whether Becca Tilley actually lost her virginity in a hotel room in Bali - we're going to guess Chris wouldn't let her - but it makes you wonder.
At rose ceremony time, Chris revealed to the other Chris that he was fairly sure about Whitney, but torn between the other two beauties on his journey.
In a bit of a surprise, Kaitlyn got the chop. He just wasn't feeling as much for her as he felt for Becca and Whitney, and Chris sent her home in tears.
He seemed genuinely upset to have to lose her, but Kaitlyn Bristowe would make one terrific Bachelorette .... don't you think, America (and Canada)?!
The one that started it all: Brad Womack rejected Jenni Croft on his season finale, and looked poised to propose to fan favorite DeAnna Pappas ... who he ALSO rejected!
DeAnna Pappas became The Bachelorette, and threw fans for a loop by rejecting beloved single father Jason Mesnick, who was so smitten with her, in favor of Jesse Csincsak ... who she stayed engaged to for like two weeks.
Jason Mesnick upped the ante on both Brad and DeAnna in the finale night shocker department. After getting engaged to Melissa Rycroft on his season finale, he dumped her ... on the After the Final Rose special, in favor of runner-up Molly Malaney! At least this one had a happy ending, though: Jason and Molly are happily married, and have a beautiful daughter.
Reid Rosenthal left The Bachelorette during the final three, then returned to propose to Jillian Harris on the finale after a change of heart ... only by then she had chosen Ed Swiderski.
Ed too left The Bachelorette, only to return and WIN Jillian Harris' season. His cheating ways soon caught up with him, though. She decided to List It, Not Love It ... see what we did there?!
In Season 14, starring Jake Pavelka, Rozlyn Papa got the boot at a rose ceremony ... after getting a rose! Say what? Yes, she allegedly had a fling with one of The Bachelor staff members.
Ali Fedotowsky also left Jake's season by her own accord, after being told she'd lose her job if she did not do so. Many later felt this was BS as she signed on to star as The Bachelorette right after.
Though he vowed to guard and protect her heart, Kasey Kahl got straight up ditched on a glacier by Ali in a hilarious one-on-one date denial for the ages.
Who could forget Bentley, probably the biggest douchebag in the history of a franchise filled with douchebags. He got the boot from Ashley Hebert, but not a moment too soon.
Ben Flajnik's stunned, bitter reaction to being rejected by Ashley Hebert after he got down on one knee was the most memorable moment of her season. He became The Bachelor; she wed winner J.P. Rosenbaum.
Casey Shteamer got the boot from Ben Flajnik when he felt she was there for the wrong reasons, and his lack of sugar-coating her departure led to some memorable waterworks displays.
It's water under the bridge now for a happily married Sean Lowe (who wed Bachelor winner Catherine Giudici after his season), but his final three dismissal by Emily Maynard - who split from Jef Holm soon after - was a stunner.
Frontrunner Brooks Forester dumped Desiree Hartsock on The Bachelorette's penultimate episode. Somewhat incredibly, a then-clear second choice Chris Siegfried ended up being The One.
Eric Hill's exit from The Bachelorette was all the more shocking considering that he left on less than stellar terms with Andi Dorfman, only to tragically pass away weeks later.
Nick Viall thought he had Andi Dorfman's heart all to himself. He was shocked to learn before he got to the final rose ceremony that she was cutting him loose, and didn't take it well to say the least.
The End.

Love hurt for Meghan Linsey on the first night of The Voice. This Nashville native drew the attention of all three mentors with her opening audition, as seen here.
Sawyer Fredericks is only 15 years old! But he sounded twice that age when impressing folks with "I'm a Man of Constant Sorrow" on The Voice season premiere.
For his blind audition, Cody Wickline turned all four chairs with his take on the country classic "He Stopped Loving Her Today." This 20-year old from West Virginia has quite the bright future in music.

Upon winning the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress on Sunday night, Patricia Arquette stood before millions of viewers and took a bold stance on an issue dear to her heart.
"To every woman who gave birth to every citizen and taxpayer of this nation, we have fought for everybody else’s equal rights," Arquette said, adding:
"It’s our time to have wage equality once and for all and equal rights for women in the United States of America."
The remarks garnered applause and shouts of encouragement from Meryl Streep and Jennifer Lopez, among others. But not everyone was on Team Arquette afterward.
Actress Stacey Dash, for example, appeared on Fox News and said she was "appalled" by Arquette's speech. How so?
"I couldn't believe it," Dash, who recently implied that only bad girls get raped, said on Fox and Friends.
“Patricia Arquette needs to do her history. In 1963, Kennedy passed an equal pay law. It's still in effect. I didn't get the memo that I didn't have any rights."
Arquette, of course, never said women don't have any rights.
Kennedy, meanwhile, himself said in 1963 that “much remains to be done to achieve full equality of economic opportunity,” while President Obama signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act in January 2009.
The Senate, however, blocked efforts to expand this act in 2012.
Not that Arquette needs us to speak for her. The actress took to Twitter last night and fired back at critics on her own.
“Wage equality will help ALL women of all races in America. It will also help their children and society,” she wrote, addressing comments she made to the press about how "gay people, and all the people of color" should back the women's rights movement.
“I have long been an advocate for the rights of the #LBGT community. The question is why aren't you an advocate for equality for ALL women?” she continued, concluding:
"Guess which women are the most negatively effected in wage inequality? Women of color. #Equalpay for ALL women. Women stand together in this."
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage my very dear friend, Glom Gazingo," quipped, to which John Travolta replied (as he creepily touched her face): "I deserved that. But you, you my darling, my beautiful, my wickedly talented, Idina Menzel. Is that right?"
"Call your mom, everybody. I've told this to like a billion people or so, call your mom, call your dad. If you're lucky enough to have a parent or two alive on this planet, call them. Don't text, don't email, call them on the phone, tell them you love them and thank them and listen to them for as long as they want to talk to you. Thank you, Mom and Dad."
"How did I get here? We made a film – black-and-white – about the need for silence and withdrawal from the world and contemplation, and here we are, at this epicenter of noise and world attention. Fantastic! Life is full of surprises."
"To every woman who gave birth, to every taxpayer and citizen of this nation, we have fought for everybody else's equal rights. It's our time to have wage equality once and for all, and equal rights for women in the United States of America."
"Recently John and I got to go to Selma, and perform 'Glory' on the same bridge that Dr. King and the people of the Civil Rights movement marched on 50 years ago. This bridge was once a landmark of a divided nation but now it's the symbol for change. The spirit of this bridge transcends race, religion, sexual orientation and social status."
"When I was 16 years old, I tried to kill myself because I felt weird, and I felt different and I felt like I did not belong – and now I'm standing here. And so I would like for this moment to be for that kid out there who feels like she's weird or she's different, or she doesn't fit in anywhere – yes, you do. I promise you do. Stay weird, stay different, and then when it's your turn, and you are standing on this stage, please pass the same message to the next person who comes along."
"This belongs to all of those people around the world battling ALS. It belongs to one exceptional family: Stephen, Jane, Jonathan and the Hawking children. And I will be its custodian and I will promise you I will look after him."
"I read an article that said that winning an Oscar could lead to living five years longer. If that's true, I'd really like to thank the Academy because my husband is younger than me."
Picking up in the aftermath of Scheana Marie's near-perfect wedding, Vanderpump Rules Season 3 Episode 17 found Jax Taylor struggling to remain loyal ... again.
What else is new? Not much, if you ask Tom Sandoval.
Those who watch Vanderpump rules online know Tom Sandoval's alleged dalliances with Miami Girl have been a recurring plot line here in Season 3.
Well, this week Jax turned on his BFF hardcore.
Succumbing to peer pressure like it's his job, he told Kristen Doute and Scheana Marie that Tom did have sexy time with Miami Girl (a.k.a. Annemarie Kunkel).
In other words, he cheated on Ariana Madix.
The beautiful (without trying too hard), funny, super cool, laid back Ariana Madix, who is basically his or any other guy's dream girl any day of the week.
Not a good situation Tom put himself in.
Of course, the fact that Jax is a pathological liar and terrible friend, and that Kristen Doute is out to screw Tom in the figurative sense works to his advantage.
Everyone believes she is off the rails, and knows Jax will throw anyone under the bus at a moment's notice, so when they point fingers, does anyone care?
We saw Kristen Doute and James Kennedy fight at the wedding, and the reasons why, which really tells you everything you need to know about her.
The combative lovebirds were civil this week, agreeing to work on themselves before getting back together (which they have done since the episode aired).
Still, you wonder how long that will last if she can't move on from obsessing over Tom Sandoval, as even Stassi Schroeder tried in vain to convince her.
Inviting Jax out with herself, Scheana, Shay and Brittany, Kristen finally got Jax to admit Tom boned Annemarie, then threw her hands up in victory.
What did she win, exactly?
Not much, if you ask Scheana, who said that she could not care less, that she doesn’t want to ruin Ariana’s happiness with Tom, and that Doute is still nuts.
The Season 3 cast of Vanderpump Rules. It is certainly an entertaining, growing and diverse (at least in terms of personality) cast of characters, as fans know well ...
With a music career taking off and a wedding on the way, the former low girl on the Sur totem pole is doing big things. You can expect Stassi to take her down a peg or two at some point this season.
Vail Bloom is the newest member of the Vanderpump Rules cast. As a Princeton grad and former Emmy nominee, Vail's doing a bit better than most of her co-workers.

To hear the new Mrs. Shay tell it in the quote of the night: “Kristen, people don’t think you’re crazy because you may or may not have told the truth about something Jax told you once."
"It’s because you slept with you ex-boyfriend’s best friend, got your friend punched in the face by a stripper, had some girl fly across the country to confront Sandoval, yelled at Lisa, got fired, and punched your boyfriend in the face at a wedding.”
Truth. And proof positive that this girl needs a good therapist as soon as humanly possible. The only downside? No video of that fight with the stripper.
What did you think of this week's episode? Is Jax the worst friend ever? Will Kristen's meddling come between Tom and Ariana Madix or not?
When Love & Hip Hop Season 5 Episode 10 got underway, we learned that Mendeecees told a lie to Yandy about Omere, which will not go over well.
At the same time, Erica informed her loved ones that she's actually in love (for reals) and Diamond sought out Rich Dollaz's assistance to win back Cisco.
Chrissy, meanwhile, took part in a racy photo shoot.
The main focus, however, was the complicated love triangle between Peter Gunz, his wife Amina and his ex-wife Tara, which boiled over at long last.
How did it take this long? No one can say for sure.
Under the Gunz (sorry), Peter confesses to loving them both, but then Amina tells Tara about all the girls Peter "dated" while he was married to Tara.
Yikes. At that point, all hell starts to break loose.
He calls Amina a snitch, likening this reveal to her calling the police and informing them that the "guns are under the bed and the coke’s in the freezer."
It's not clear as of press time wheter Peter Gunz has any actual guns under the bed or drugs in the freezer, but we would not be shocked with this clown.
Ridiculous analogies aside, Amina apologizes for snitching, but Peter warns her not to take their baby girl to Germany. She is unmoved by his threat.
How will this saga possibly end well? It likely won't.
However, you can watch Love & Hip Hop online to find out. Above all else, it promises to be entertaining when the fit hits the shan, if you know what we mean.
The diminutive actor, who stood 4'4" and who appeared as Meep on American Horror Story: Freak Show, was crossing a street in Hollywood last week when he was clipped by a vehicle's side view mirror.
He was rushed to the hospital, placed in critical condition and died of a related stoke on Monday evening.
"Ben was one-of-a-kind, and will never be forgotten," Woolf's rep tells E! News in a statement. "The time we all shared together will be remembered forever."
The 34-year old's organs will be donated to science and are expected to help save/improve the lives of approximately 50 people.
“RIP Ben Woolf. One of the most inspirational people I've ever met,” American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy wrote on Twitter, while actress Sarah Paulson linked to the above video and added:
"Ben Woolf... We will never forget you. RIP."
Former co-star Rose Siggins Tweeted of her late friend: "It was an honor to become your friend and a privilege to work with you on AHS. I will miss you."
And veteran actor Michael Chiklis also chimed in with his thoughts/prayers, writing online:
"Just heard the awful news. RIP Ben Woolf. Such a sweet man and far too young to leave this world."
ESPN's Stuart Scott (1965-2015) will forever be missed. The beloved anchor and personality passed away after a long battle with cancer in January at the age of 49.
Giuliana Rancic has issued an apology to Zendaya Coleman.
On an episode of E!’s Fashion Police dedicated to the 2015 Oscars fashion, Rancic criticized the young star's look by saying it appeared as if the 18-year old "smells like patchouli oil… or maybe weed."
It was certainly an odd remark, and it prompted Zendaya to call Rancic out for her insensitivity on Instagram.
“There is a fine line between what is funny and dispectful," Coleman wrote. "Someone said something about my hair at the Oscars that left me in awe. Not because I was relishing in rave outfit reviews, but because I was hit with ignorant slurs and pure disrespect.
"To say that an 18-year-old young woman with locs must smell of patchouli oil or “weed” is not only a large stereotype but outrageously offensive.
"I don’t usually feel the need to respond to negative things but certain remarks cannot go unchecked."
In response, Giuliana Tweeted a mea culpa last night.
"Dear @Zendaya, I'm sorry I offended you and others. I was referring to a bohemian chic look. Had NOTHING to do with race and NEVER would!!!"
We believe her, but still. Perhaps it's time networks stopped airing programs based entirely on the judgment of others.
This beef, of course, was not the only issue to arise from the 2015 Academy Awards:
Like when you make a racist remark while critiquing someone's look on the red carpet of the 2015 Academy Awards.
Giuliana Rancic has learned this lesson the hard way after the E! Fashion Police panelist responded to Zendaya's dreadlocks on Sunday night by saying "I feel like she smells like pachouli oil. Or weed!”
Via a long Instagram post, Zendaya referred to this remark as “disrespectful” and "outrageously offensive," which prompted a casual mea culpa from Rancic on Twitter.
But Kelly Osbourne subsequently said she would quit the Fashion Police if “everyone involved” did not “make [things] right” within 24 hours.
Cue Rancic on last E! News last night and the video message posted above.
“I’d really like to address something that’s weighing very heavy on my heart,” she says in it. “I want to apologize for a comment that I made on last night’s Fashion Police about Zendaya’s hair...
Something I said last night did cross the line. I didn’t intend to hurt anybody, but I’ve learned it’s not my intent that matters, it’s the result.”
Concluded the E! personality:
“This really has been a learning experience for me, I’ve learned a lot today. And this incident has taught me to be a lot more aware of cliches and stereotypes, how much damage they can do. And that I am responsible, as we all are, to not perpetuate them further.”
What do you think? Is this sufficient? Should Zendaya forgive and forget?
In a similar, race-based controversy from the Oscars, a Fox morning show host described Lady Gaga as a jigaboo while still giving the artist praise for her Academy Awards performance.
The hunt for Cyrus led Aria and Hanna to this moniker on the latest installment of this beloved drama, with the latter pointing out that it's the same (misspelled) last name as a character from Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
And, hey, Alison loves that movie!
However... isn’t Ezra the person who first told Ali she reminds him of Holly Golightly? It’s almost as if you can’t trust anyone on this series, huh?
Later on, as you'll see when you watch Pretty Little Liars online, Aria came back home looking for Mike - and ended up getting to first base with Andrew!
ELSEWHERE, Spencer interviewed at Oxford and it was seemingly going well. Until she realized her purse was leaking blood. Don't you hate it when that happens?
And because the blood wasn’t detected when she went through airport security, Spencer deduced that "A" must have planted it while she was in England.
Back in Rosewood, meanwhile, Emily learned that Talia was leaving her husband and would soon be without a home.
So, with her mother conveniently out of town, Emily offered up a room at her house. She then invited Talia to come along for dance rehearsal.
Talia kind of freaked us out by being a 20-something skulking the hallways of a high school, but she partially redeemed her weirdness by standing up to Emily’s pageant liaison.
The board was pushing for Emily to drop out due to her proximity to the Alison murder trial, but something makes us think this, too, will soon blow up in her face.
In other words: Run, Emily! Run away as fast as you can and as far as you can!
Eddie Ray Routh has been found guilty of murder in the death of Chris Kyle, the hero who inspired the movie American Sniper, and his friend Chad Littlefield.
After intense closing arguments that at one point caused Chris Kyle's widow, Taya Kyle, to storm out of the courtroom, a Texas jury reached a verdict.
Routh was found guilty of capital murder on Tuesday night at 9:15 CST. He was given a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Routh killed Chris Kyle (center) and Chad Littlefield (right) at a gun range on February 2, 2013. In court, Littlefield's stepbrother, Jerry Richardson, addressed Routh.
"Because of you and your irresponsible choices, we lost a great son, brother, father and uncle on February 2, 2013," he said. "And that will never change."
"Those are traits you'll never experience, because you took the lives of two heroes - men who tried to be a friend to you. And you became an American disgrace."
The verdict came after two weeks of emotional, sometimes bizarre testimony about Routh's life, his mental hospital stays and his volatile behavior.
During closing arguments, as the defense team argued its case, at one point Taya Kyle sat with her feet up on the chair and her head in her hands.
Clearly rattled, she then suddenly stood and walked out of the courtroom, slapping the door with her hand as she left. But she returned to her desired result.
In the end, it came down to one question, as defense attorney Tim Moore said: "What was going on in Eddie's mind when he shot those two guys?"
His lawyers described the former Marine as a "troubled veteran" who has schizophrenia, which worsened over time. The defense did not sway a jury.
Assistant Attorney General Jane Starnes argued that what was going through his mind was in fact "deliberate, it was calculating and it was cold."
Noting that both men were shot in the back at least six times each, she described how Littlefield shielded his face before getting shot two more times.
"This was not to prevent him from getting up, but to finish him off," she said. "He didn't want Chad dead. He wanted Chad dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead."
American Sniper is not without controversy or debate. But there's no debating the enormous domestic box office haul of this Bradley Cooper-anchored drama.
After Routh was discharged from the military in 2010, he ended up in psychiatric hospitals several times, once for threatening to kill himself and his family.
Shortly thereafter, the retired Chris Kyle's memoir, American Sniper, had become a New York Times bestseller after being published in January 2012.
In it, Kyle recounted in detail how his four tours of duty as a Navy SEAL earned him a reputation as the deadliest sniper in the history of the U.S. military.
In late 2014, his life story was turned into a critically acclaimed movie of the same name that starred Bradley Cooper and directed by Clint Eastwood.
"They made it their mission in life to be friends with other men," Starnes said of Kyle and Littlefield. "And that's what ultimately cost them their lives."
"It caused them to override any kind of sense of self-preservation."
Demi Lovato was rushed to the Emergency Room on Tuesday with a severe lung infection, sources have confirmed to TMZ.
But the beloved young artist is expected to make a full recovery.
A close friend reportedly transported Lovato to Providence Tarzana Medical Center because she was having difficulty breathing, as doctors ran a series of tests and determined her condition was related to the flu.
Physicians provided Lovato with medication, including a Z-Pak, and she remained under their supervisions at least into late in the afternoon.
No further details are available at this time, but the infection is likely to interfere with Lovato's new album recording.
She recently posted a series of excited Tweets about a fresh career path, vowing to one day earn a Grammy nomination.
The artist has also labeled herself the luckiest girl in the world for having a life that includes an adorable dog and a loving boyfriend.
That may no longer be the literal case, as this is a tough break for the singer.
But it's nothing too serious and we hope Demi can return to making new music in the very near future. Get better soon, girl!
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 5 Episode 15 saw the ladies work together on a scavenger hunt for Yolanda, and later, take a trip to Amsterdam.
What adventures and drama awaited them in Holland?
The ladies (term used loosely) split up into three teams, Kyle, Brandi and Camille, Eileen, Kim and Lynn, and Yolanda, Lisa Vanderpump and Lisa Rinna.
Team number one was clearly hand-picked by producers.
Yolanda's team-building, female bonding exercise doesn't work too well for Kyle Richards and Brandi Glanville, who simply can't tolerate one another.
Kim Richards and Eileen Davidson aren't much better.
Yolanda and the Lisas are the clear winners in the category of keeping it classy, but we suppose that's not exactly a big surprise given the competition.
Later, Yolanda plans a trip to her home country of the Netherlands for the ladies, but first, they jet to Canada for an event for her husband's foundation.
Brandi's back, and boozy as ever. Spoiler alert: At some point this season, she smacks Lisa Vanderpump. You'd HAVE to be drunk to assault such a classy lady!
The climate may be nicer in Beverly Hills, but we're guessing there are times when the SoCal drama makes Yolanda long for life back home in the Netherlands.
Not only did Eileen win a Daytime Emmy for her work on Days of Our Lives, she wrote several mystery in the early 2000s. She'll pull down a whopping $750,000 for her first season as a Housewife.
But Eileen may have some competition in the Most Accomplished Housewife category. Lisa also appeared on Days of Our Lives, she had a starring role on Melrose Place, and she's married to mad Men actor Harry Hamlin. It begs the question - what's she doing reality TV for?
David Foster's foundation raises money to support families who have children in need of organ transplants, and it is clearly well attended and funded.
Given that Yolanda Foster may leave the show due to her own serious health problems, this is a cause dear to her heart and we wish her the very best.
Of course, the women are there to start drama.
On the plane to Calgary, Kim Richards actually yells at Lisa Rinna to please stop talking about her sobriety issues because they are none of her business.
Lisa tries to say that she was simply worried about Kim after her behavior, but Richards continues to rage as she's clearly not having any of that excuse.
Kylie is just uncomfortable. It's a small plane.
In Amsterdam, Kyle experiences even more heartbreak and devastation when she loses her bag and it takes AN HOUR AND A HALF to track it down.
Our prayers are with you, girl. Be strong.
Kim continues to get defensive, getting on the women's case for making a big deal every time she's late for something. Kyle then makes a valid point:
Why are you bringing this up now?
Lisa Rinna decides that Kim is just mean and doesn't like the truth. Whatever it is, something is up with Kim Richards and we haven't seen the last of it.
Nobody doubts that Bruce Jenner's sex change, or gender transition as it's often referred to, is a most controversial decision. But is it a safe decision?
Some leading doctors doesn't think so.
It was confirmed after his accident last week that the 65-year-old former Olympian is undergoing hormone therapy to permanently change his gender.
Dr. Harold Reed, one of the world’s leading experts on gender reassignment, says that such therapy could be a huge risk for a patient of Jenner's age
"We used to prescribe hormones for all transsexual and transgender people, regardless of their age," he says, in order to help them achieve results.
But, he warns, "[people] who are on estrogen that are over the age of 55 have a much higher incidence of heart disease, heart attacks and coagulopathy."
Coagulopathy is a condition that can lead to blood clots forming more easily, which can lead to strokes, heart attacks, and/or a wide array of serious conditions.
According to Reed, once Jenner transitions into a woman, he'll be no different than any post-menopausal woman (I can think of one difference, ... but I'll leave it alone for now).
Anyway, after menopause, a woman just about stops producing estrogen. But Bruce will STILL be producing estrogen. Reed describes the problem:
"In Bruce Jenner’s case, because he is 65-years-old and on estrogen, what he is trying to do is actually trying to produce a super female."
"In actuality, he is enhancing the risk and could be putting his life at risk.
A "super female"? His doctors must know this, but does Bruce care?
The quest to be a woman must be very powerful for him to actually be willing to risk his life. But is the quest to become a woman? Or is it to be the first famous person to do so?
As a huge celebrity, Jenner brings issues to the forefront of our culture. Could that be a reason he is so interested in continuing down this path?
The danger is real, and the consequences are real.
It was a sight we never thought we'd see. Not that we're complaining.
After vowing in multiple interviews that she would keep her belly button hidden forever, Taylor Swift exposed this body part while on vacation with friends last month in Hawaii.
What prompted the unexpected Taylor Swift bikini picture?
An urge to one-up shady paparazzi, that's what!
Speaking this week with BBC Radio 1, Swift explained that her security team noticed a boat about a half mile away. It was filled with her sworn enemy.
"My security gets out binoculars and sees [the paparazzi on the boat] have a huge long-lens camera," Taylor, 25, recalls of that fateful day on the water.
"At which point, we go back to the beach and we realize, ‘Okay so they got pictures of us in our bikinis, like I don’t want them to make like $100,000 for stalking us.'"
That's why Taylor chose to snap the impromptu image herself and put it online, so the paparazzi couldn't cash in with any EXCLUSIVE TAYLOR SWIFT BIKINI PHOTOS.
Pretty smart, huh? Sticking it to 'em and using her choice of filters!
"I've never seen such stealth mode paparazzi, like, long-lensing it up, three miles away," she added of these professional stalkers on that trip.
She and Kate Middleton don't talk regularly, we're guessing.
In any case, it appears as though the only thing Taylor Swift loves more than Beyonce, and her legions of fans, is beating the paparazzi at their own game.
Picking up where last week's installment left off, Dance Moms Season 5 Episode 8 saw Abby Lee Miller clash with parents, as well as MattyB's management.
Who could have ever seen that development coming?!
Meanwhile, Kira Girard, dance mom of Kalani, may have even managed to upstage Abby Lee in terms of drama this week, which is no small feat. At all.
If you watch Dance Moms online, you know this West Coast swing was the girls' final chance to pull off a win against the best of the best in Los Angeles.
Could they get it done? It did not look good at the start of Dance Moms Season 5 Episode 8, but if there's one thing you can predict on this show, it's this:
You can't predict anything on this show!
The girls split up at the onset, into teams of four. Shot-caller Abby did not grant any of her dancers solos for the week, she did give out two duets.
A couple of ALDC standouts, JoJo Siwa and Mackenzie Ziegler, Maddie's sister, were first gifted a musical theater number entitled "Lucy & Ethel.”
Meanwhile, Kalani Hilliker and Sarah were given a duet inspired by the infamous Tanya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan 1994 Olympic figure skating scandal.
Kalani's mom, Kira Girard, and Sarah’s mother, Tracey, staged a duet of their own behind the scenes, trading backhanded compliments and accusations.
At one point, Brynn’s mother Ashlee accused Kira of not having custody of her son Jax and failing to raise Kalani while she was “off with her boyfriend.”
“He doesn’t even live with you because you’re never home!” Ashlee said, at which point Kira shot back, “Don’t sit there and lie like a f--king b-tch.”
They weren't done, either.
After Tracey failed to make Abby give Sarah a spot on the ALDC elite junior team, she brought up Kira’s alleged criminal history in a bid to get Kalani booted"
“You have a history of so much manipulation, so many lies… I would be happy to talk about your arrest record. You have been arrested for credit card fraud!”
JoJo’s mother Jessalynn then dug up the dirt online and shared, “There was a trial and their was sentencing and there was theft and attempt to commit theft."
Kira full-on denied the shocking allegations. “You’re making up f--king false things. You don’t make up false information about me or what I’ve been through."
Abby wasn't fazed. She invited back JoJo Siwa, and granted Brynn the chance to dance with her at her Pittsburgh, Pa., studio, thereby letting Sarah go.
“You’re 14 which is too old for this group. I think we will work together again in the future,” Abby told Sarah. Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Trace.
Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star Erica Pinkett was savagely attacked in a nightclub ... and Pinkett says she told police the hit was ordered by a jealous rival on the show.
On 19 Kids and Counting Season 15 Episode 2, Ben and Jessa prepared for their wedding, while Jill and Derick started preparing for their baby's arrival.
Exciting stuff down in Arkansas, people! And it's only going to become more so!
What happened when the expectant, soon-to-be parents of #BabyDilly met with a midwife? And when Jinger Duggar took photos of the soon-to-be newlyweds?
We know Jessa Duggar likes to break the mold (and not just because she lives in a house full of mold). She's not just going to recreate Jill's wedding.
She's not really interested in the whole princess thing, or shopping for a dress for that matter. It's just a means to an end for the future Mrs. Seewald.
Not that she isn't looking forward to the wedding, or marrying Ben.
"I think it's important that whatever dress she chooses is modest, too. 'Cause I get kind of jealous, you know? She's my girl," said Ben in an interview.
Oh we know, Ben. You don't want any guys ogling your girl.
She opted for a blush-colored gown, and looked gorgeous, because come on, it's Jessa. She looks amazing in anything. The bridesmaids, however?
Jinger Duggar said it best when she accurately pointed out that having one single, simple dress fit a gaggle of girls is going to be a tall order to say the least.
Luckily, this family can sew so hard. So they're good to go.
The Duggar parents often accompany their kids on dates in order to maintain "accountability" and "keep things from going in the wrong direction," per Jim Bob. The girls are fine with this, as being alone with men puts them in grave "moral danger." When the parents aren't available, their older siblings will often tag along, making every date a group date and a family affair.
Even in the kids' late teens and early 20s, mom and dad are creeping on their text messages. When Ben Seewald jokingly wrote to fiancee Jessa, "Give me a ring," Jim Bob actually jumped in on the group text, writing "No ring yet." With a smiley face emoticon. Seriously, he did that. Jim Bob needs his own Instagram so he can start posting screen shots of this stuff.
This moment you see here between Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard would not have been permitted until the couple was married. Side hugs are the preferred method of PDA in order to prevent any further temptation or hanky panky, as has been well documented on 19 Kids and Counting. The Duggars love their side hugs so hard. Any touching beyond that? Save it for your wedding night.
This is probably an obvious one if you know anything about the Duggars. The family does not smoke or drink. They do, however, enjoy the occasional sugary dessert or getting high on life and love.
Safe to say the Duggars are in the minority, having not read Fifty Shades of Grey (the movie adaptation of which they won't be seeing either, we're guessing). The Bible warns not to "think about gratifying the pleasure of the flesh," so instead the family studies Christian text and not E.L. James' erotic fiction. The Duggars' option is probably better-written.
Avert your eyes, Michelle Duggar! The family matriarch feels that dancing encourages "sensual" feelings, while Jessa Duggar has said that she feels modern music promotes "sex, drugs, all that type of stuff." Instead, the family chooses to play gospel music together.
Yes, seriously. There is Duggar-approved swimwear (it's conservative and not very revealing, spoiler alert) but when it comes to the beach, that's not happening. At all. Blame the general public. "It's just too hard for the guys to try and keep their eyes averted," Michelle explains. If we happened upon Kaley Cuoco doing beach yoga, we might see her point. But we also wouldn't complain.
Even if you took out the boozy parties and sexy nurses and cats looking to get frisky, Halloween would still be a no-go for the Duggars. According to the parents, magic and witches are "part of a demonic realm God wants us to stay away from," and this holiday qualifies. To each their own.
We don't actually know if there's a definitive rule against the use of birth control in the Duggar household, but it's clearly not something the family is thinking about, or using, ever. Just saying. Once those vows are exchanged, fornication and procreation tend to happen early and often, ensuring that the great state of Arkansas will never have a population shortage of really nice, quirky, family-first, side-hug loving human beings.
Meanwhile, midwife Jill Dillard - a woman who has delivered more than 30 babies herself - is now finding herself on the other end of the arrangement.
And struggling with morning sickness, which is pretty brutal.
Not even that could diminish her optimism, however, especially not after hearing #BabyDilly's heartbeat for the first time - a first for husband Derick.
He called it "very special," and anyone who's ever experienced that moment - especially for the first time - know that's the understatement of all time.
Other things to look forward to if you watch 19 Kids and Counting online this week include Jason Duggar, 14, being kind of over his chaperone role.
Hey, you gotta put those kids to work. And there's free food.
Jinger's not the only one helping out with wedding planning, either. First-born son Josh Duggar, 26, will design Jessa's invitations, just as he did for Jill.
As for the oft-maligned older sister of Jill and Jessa, Jana Duggar, she was probably stuck watching 9-10 siblings and cleaning the house this entire time.
Jana Marie Duggar is so beautiful ... and put upon, supposedly, by a family that relies on her to help take care of the others but never have a life of her own. If that's true, it's sad. Is it time for her to break free?
Jana Duggar has some beautiful hair. Not that a guy will be able to see it up close as she's locked up at home raising her 16 younger sibs, but she looks great.
Kendall Jenner has been affiliated with PacSun since 2013. She strikes a pose for the clothing company as part of its 2015 spring collection in this photo.
The Jenners have been affiliated with this clothing company since February 2013, with their latest campaign a bit darker and more mysterious than past PacSun ads.
Kendall and Kylie's latest collaboration will be available exclusively at PacSun on February 27.
And, hey, we're just glad the siblings are fully covered in each of the images posted above.
After a night with Felicity (ooooh, yeah!!!), Ray took flight at A.T.O.M.
Oliver's life was spared by Ra’s al Ghul because the archer made our hero a stunning offer: Would he like to become the leader of The League of Assassins?
Fans have a great deal to now ponder during the show's hiatus, as we encourage them to watch Arrow online in order to relive these dramatic developments on more time:
Our friends at TV Fanatic sat down with producers Andrew Kreisberg and Marc Guggenheim for a preview of where things will head now...
“Oliver is completely - as hopefully the audience is - taken aback, because he was not expecting,” Kreisberg said Oliver being presented with “the keys to the kingdom.”
The subsequent set of episodes will chronicle Oliver’s reaction and decision, as the League is now “a different kind of threat, because they’re asking him to join up. [But] as Malcolm tells him in a subsequent episode, [Ra’s is] not really asking.”
How will Nyssa feel about her dad passing her over as heir?
“There’s a scene in [Arrow Season 3 Episode 16] between Nyssa and Ra’s that definitely addresses that,” Guggenheim says. “From Nyssa’s perspective, it has everything to do with Sara. From Ra’s perspective? Maybe, maybe not."
Look for Nyssa to head off on a “different trajectory” when the series picks up in March.
On the personal front, is this really it for Felicity and Oliver a couple? Teases Guggenheim:
"Right now, Oliver has decided that [he] can’t do this, and Felicity’s not just going to sit around waiting for him. She’s probably the most healthy of all of them.
"He’s the one shutting himself down, emotionally, when he has this amazing person who’s basically offering him hope, guidance, friendship and love and everything. He doesn’t feel he deserves it and doesn’t feel that’s what’s best for her, whether she agrees with it or not."
Plus, come on: it's Brandon Routh as Ray! Can you blame the gal?!?
Finally, what kind of superhero will Ray/A.T.O.M. make? And how will he fit in with the one we already know and adore?
Ray will “go about things in a very different way than the Arrow does,” Guggenheim previews. “And he’s not a part of Team Arrow. Right now, he’s just a very smart guy in a very, very powerful suit. Oliver’s definitely going to have an opinion, and the first instance of that will be in Episode 317.”
In the Civil War, Bill Compton served a soldier for the Louisiana division of the Confederate Army. On the way home, he met Lorena and was turned into a member of the undead.
Jack Bauer has saved the world many times. Before that, he earned a Silver Star, Purple Heart and Legion of Merit as a member of the Army’s Delta Force.
What appeared to be positive news for Bobbi Kristina Brown has turned frightening and, possibly, fatal.
The 21-year old, who had been in a medically-induced coma since passing out in her home's bathtub on January 31, was taken out of the coma by doctors yesterday, though she remained on life support.
However, “she was taken off the drugs, but she began having violent seizures," a family insider tells People, sadly adding:
"She is being put back into a coma."
Bobbi Kristina has been on life support since the day of the unexplained incident, but was removed from her coma initially in order for physicians to get an idea of what her body can handle on its own.
"This is a horrible setback," the source added. "Everyone was hopeful that this was the sign that she'd turned the corner. We were so optimistic...
"Everyone needs to pray for Krissi. I don't care what religion you are, or if you have no religion at all. Send your thoughts, your prayers, your well-wishes. Send everything you've got. Please."
There remains no official reason for why Bobbi feel unconscious nearly a month ago, though a Georgia police officer recently said the 21-year old was always high.
She has battled a noted history of substance abuse, especially since her famous mother passed away in February of 2012.
Another report alleges Bobbi Kristina was on heroin, among other drugs, the day she was discovered in her bathroom, though no one in any official capacity has verified this account.
It's a very sad situation all around and, tragically, it appears as if it may soon come to an end.
Bobbi Kristina and Nick Gordon were married, but reportedly estranged at the time of her tragic hospitalization. We hope she is able to beat the odds and recover.
That was basically the reaction of a Santa Monica, Calif., judge, who reviewed the actress' alleged community service reports and ordered her to re-do them.
The star failed to complete 240 hours - a requirement of her probation - to the judge's liking in her reckless driving case, stemming from a 2012 auto accident.
In June of that year, Lohan's Porsche rear-ended an 18-wheeler on the Pacific Coast Highway. LiLo initially denied she had been behind the wheel.
The alleged actress was later convicted of reckless driving by the court, and in the court of celebrity gossip, of being a terrible liar for the 100th time.
Seriously. She's beyond bad.
Lohan must now do 125 hours all over again, after the judge was unmoved by her various excuses and ideas of what constitutes community service.
She actually wanted to count the time she spent letting London kids "work shadow" her rehearsals for a play, Speed-the-Plow, toward this requirement.
Not only is this patently ridiculous, but she consistently forgot her lines during the performance! So the kids didn't even learn anything from Lindsay.
Except maybe how to not be a train wreck, but we doubt that was the intent. Judge Mark Young ordered her to finish another additional 125 hours.
Hours that should have been done months ago. Sigh. Year in and year out, this saga continues. Clueless girl simply cannot get it together with the law.
