After 33 years on CBS’ 60 Minutes, Andy Rooney has said goodbye and left the building. For good.
The venerable 92 year-old commentator aired his last segment Sunday, talking about his life and career and how fortunate he’s been throughout his illustrious life. “Of all the things I have complained, I cannot complain about my life.”
“This is a moment I have dreaded and I wish I could do this forever. I can’t though….And I don’t always say this, but, ‘Thank you.’ “
While David Letterman spent the last two weeks off air on vacation, a jihadist marked the funny man for death.
Continuing strong, he said: “Backstage, I was talking to the guy from CBS. We were going through the CBS life insurance policy to see if I was covered for jihad.”
HEELARIOUS!
Letterman did acknowledge that our government is looking into the threat but that did not stop him from telling more jokes.
“Everybody knows it’s (Jay) Leno.”
10. “Someone wants to silence me? Get in line.”
9. “Nothing says summer fun like a death threat.”
8. “Why is the staff in such a good mood?”
7. “Save me, Oprah!”
6. “Should I wear my Kevlar hairpiece?”
5. “And here I thought nobody watched the show.”
4. “How can someone be so angry at a time whenKim Kardashian is so happy?”
3. “Some people get Emmy nominations; some people get death threats.”
2. “This seems like Leno’s handiwork.”
1. “Oh my God, they canceled ‘The George Lopez Show’!”
Watch Letterman’s act below:
HMMMMM…People keep asking me, “What role will Ashton Kutcher play on the upcoming season of Two and a Half Men?” Well, I have no idea because the show has kept things pretty much under wraps.
Joined by his co-stars, Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones, Kutcher strips naked to pose with a sign declaring “All will be revealed 09.19.11”
Big Brother aired Thursday July 14. Below is a show recap:
OLDIES PLAY NICE
The oldies realized with Evel Dick out of the game, they were one more man down and needed to up their social game.
Brendon and Rachel played the big bootie game with the newbies. And Jeff said he will have to “whore” himself out and play nice as well. Rachel brought out “Vegas Rachel” to have fun with the houseguests. But Dominic was on to their strategy.
BRENDON AND RACHEL HAVE A TIFF OF A FIGHT
We find out “Boookieee” is Brendon and Rachel’s pet name for each other and Brendon is not happy about others knowing about it. He also did not want Rachel to play party girl because she is almost his wife. Brendon tells Rachel in private that he loves her with all his heart but feels that being called Bookie in front of everyone makes their relationship look like a joke. He slept on the couch as the two seemed a bit drifted.
The next day, Brendon tells Rachel he is trying to be a medical professional and feels emasculated by Rachel’s antics in front of people. They kissed and made up.
OLDIES AND ADAM
Jeff thinks Adam is a huge BB fan. So, in order to woo him more to the oldies’ side, he comes up with the idea of letting Adam pick the name for the oldies’ alliance. Brilliant Jeff! Adam came up with “Adam’s Angels.” I doubt that name will stick for two reasons: The name sucks. And Adam did not vote with the oldies in the eviction. Read more!
MESSAGE FROM EVEL DICK
Evel Dick sent a video message to the BB houseguests. He said he would never have left if it were not a personal emergency. He also apologized to his daughter Daniele for not being able to spend the summer with her, especially since the two seem to get along best inside that house per him. He told the rest of the house to play well and challenged them to fight hard. Daniele was asked to give her dad a message and all she said is, “hanging in there!”
Julie Chen asked Daniele, “No I love you?” to which Daniele responded, “That is so awkward. Of course I love my father, he is my biological father.” Fast forward to voting who to evict, Daniel rushed this out before she voted to evict Keith: “I just want to say I do love my father and I have done nothing but worry about him every day since he left.” Nice save Daniele.
Here is a full summary of Dick’s message as to why he left the BB house.
EVICTIONS
Both Porsche and Keith thought they were safe before the vote. In her plea for safety, Porsche kissed some major oldie ass. Here is who each houseguest voted to evict:

Big Brother 13 episode # 3 aired on July 11, 2011. Below is a summary recap of the show and who won the Power of Veto.
Live blogging of important events is taking place now and a full recap of the show and why Evel Dick Donato left the show, will be posted later tonight.
NOMINATIONS
Of course we know that Rachel had nominated Porsche and Keith for eviction. We find out that the selection was Dick’s idea. We also find out Keith is Rachel’s real target because she thinks Porschewill vote her way.
Keith feels safe in the house because he believes The Regulators will help save him. Keith wants to throw the POV competition so he can stay on the block, be saved, and get the Golden Key. Porche on the other hand does not get the fact that if she throws the competition and stays on the block the oldies will keep her and she gets the Golden Key.
EVEL DICK LEAVES SHOW
This is how Evel Dick Donato left the show: Dick got called to the Diary Room but never came out. After he was gone for two hours, the houseguests got worried. Rachel then got called to the Diary Room and the house is still Dick-less!
Daniel got emotional about her father’s absence and was worried about his well being. She tells Rachel and Brendon that her dad lives for BB and for him not to be there, it must be a big deal. She’s also sad that she has to sit on the sidelines and not play in any competition.
Brendon did not take the news well either and and was angry that his team was now one more man down. The other oldies were trying to calm him down in Rachel’s HOH room so the other houseguests wouldn’t hear him and realize (as if they hadn’t already) that the oldies are in an alliance. Jordon expressed her fears for being disadvantaged now but Jeff told the oldies team to stop bitching and crying and play the game and win the competitions.
Daniel later realized how beneficial the Golden Key is. She figured she can build personal relationships with the newbies during the four weeks of guaranteed safety.

KEITH ANGERS NEWBIES
Keith started making waves for himself by verbalizing his joy that Dick was gone. Shelly tells the camera that no one should publicly make fun of an obvious emergency situation for Dick. Keith then calls a newbie meeting and rats out Porsche and Kalia as being too chummy with the oldies and accused them of playing with the oldies. Lawon called Keith a “ticking time bomb” to the camera and said he is about to explode. Dominic started to question Keith’s stability.
Before the competition, the oldies talked to Porsche to make sure she was still on board to throw the competition and she said yes, “it’s more fun that way.”
Jordan was terrible in the puzzle making competition and it was funny to watch both Keith and Porsche throwing the competition yet doing better than Jordan.
Rachel wins POV. Rachel and Brendon meet with Adam and Dominic and tell them “we won’t put you up this week, we ask that you don’t put us up next week.” They then met with Kalia and Lawon and told them the same thing. And then they met with Shelly and Cassi. Cassi was the only person who stood up to the duo and asked questions of Brendon and Rachel. She told them their strength scares them. After all of this, Rachel decides to leave the votes as is, meaning Keith and Porsche remain on the block.
SHAMELESS PLUG!
PLEASE DO what Brendon Villegas does and follow me like he does on Twitter and Facebook so I can send you updates of every important Big Brother scoop I get!
Big Brother 13 week two episode on July 11, 2011 started with the oldies/Dynamic Duos (or the Allstars as they like to call themselves) conspiring against the 8 newbie houseguests. Most of us know by now that Evel Dick Donato has left the show, but, he was still present when this nominations episode was taped and aired.
We hear Rachel Reilly and Brendon Villegas talking about the effect of the new Golden Key on the game which allows the holders of the key to float through the first four weeks of the game with no eviction, no competition, and no slop. Rachel says this is a whole new game than what she is used to. Brendon says the new game favors floaters and he and Rachel still hate floaters. Rachel gives floaters an official name, “Golden Ticket Holders.”
Before he leaves the Big Brother house, Dick tells the oldies that the newbies are like the three stooges and will go down like they are on a shooting range, one after another. To achieve his domination plan over the newbies, Dick suggests they bring two newbies on their side to out number the newbies. Daniele suggests that they can offer the people safety in exchange for later loyalty.
Meanwhile, Dominic Briones, Keith Henderson, Cassie Colvin and Lawon Exum have formed an inner alliance against their own partners and agreed to keep each other in the game until the final four. They name themselves “The Regulators.”
Dick sees Porche Briggs as a strong competitor and easy to manipulate over time so he asks her to join them and she agrees. Porche tells Keith of her agreement and gets his apparent OK but Keith runs to Dominic and spills Porche’s beans. Dominic tells Keith to pretend to go along with Porche.
Dick also tells Adam Poch that he would like to have a chat with him. Adam meets Dick and the other oldies in Rachel’s HOH bedroom and is told that if he gets nominated, they would pool their votes to give him the Golden Key and send his partner Dominic home. In return, they ask Adam to throw competitions for them and pool his vote with the old timers. Dick gets a bit cocky here and makes Adam feel that he should see this offer to team up with the Allstars as an honor. “It’s an offer you can’t refuse,” Dick tells Adam. Adam agrees in person but when in diary room, he tells the camera that Dick is a pupet master and all Adam can think about is getting Dick out of the house.
The ‘Have and Have Not’ competition was held and three teams were formed with four people in each team. Brendon and Rachel are automatic Haves this week since they are the Head of Household. One of these three teams would be declared a loser and would have to sleep in an uncomfortable bedroom for a week which looks like an insane asylum with padded walls. Shelly Moore says the room looks like a looney bin. The losers will have to have the room’s lights on all the time and eat BB Slop for a week. Oh ya, and they can only take cold showers for the week.
The theme of the competition was moon craters. The players had to dive into a crater of milk and then head to the lunar landing to get their teammates to squeeze out enough milk to fill 6 huge jugs. The last team to complete the quest would be the ‘Have Nots’ for the week.
The blue team finished first which consisted of Dick, Daniele, Jeff and Jordan. The green team finished second which consisted of Keith, Porsche, Adam and Dominic. The orange team finished last which were Cassie, Shelly, Kalia and Lawon.
Here are the ‘Have Nots’ for the week:
Rachel then calls everyone in for the Nomination Ceremony. Brendon is already safe as Rachel’s partner. Daniele and Dick are the first to be declared safe this week. Danielle and Dick pull Jordan and Jeff’s keys. Jordan and Jeff pull Lawon and Kalia’s keys. Lawon and Kalia pull Cassie and Shelly’s keys. Shelly and Cassie pull Adam and Dominic’s keys.
Keith and Porsche are nominated for eviction, leaving Porsche shocked for having been put up this week. Keith knows the Regulators will support him and feels safe. In the Diary Room Rachel says that she wants Keith to be evicted and to give Porsche the Golden Key so she will vote with them each week.
SPOILERS:
Rachel and Brandon along with Jeff and Jordan and Porsche and Keith compete for the POV. Adam is the MC. Rachel wins POV. Rachel decides to leave the votes as is, meaning Keith and Porsche remain on the block.
What do you think of the nominees? Did Rachel make the right decision? Who will go home? Porsche? Or Keith? Who do you think is the strongest player in the house is? And what do you think will be the effect on the game when Dick leaves unexpectedly?
OH Big Brother, my guilty summer pleasure, thank you for coming back! This summer’s Big Brother Season 13, which premiered Thursday July 7, boasts of 52 cameras and 95 microphones, promising to catch every dirt slinging, backstabbing and fight our new (and old) houseguests will partake in. And I will be right here to keep you informed of it all with a weekly recap of every juicy detail all season long!
The newbies are told to pick a partner. The youth minister Keith who told everyone he is a matchmaker, quickly jumps on the blonde Porsche, obviously using the wrong head to make his decision. We then get the partnership of Cassi and Shelly who are my vote for the strongest newbie duo, Kalia and Lowan, and Dominic and Adam.
SECOND TWIST: OLD HOUSEGUESTS RETURN
Once the pairings are done, the houseguests decide to form an 8-member alliance to beat out anyone who would walk through the door after they had. Sure enough, the doorbell rings and Rachel Reilly and Brendon Villegas from season 12 walk in the door. YES!! Say what you want about this wacky couple who just got engaged after breaking up temporarily when Brendon got caught sending out some sexy photos of himself to someone other than Rachel. But you can’t deny that they are strong players and fun-slash-annoying to watch. But, at least they give us a reason to watch.
Before the contestants can even digest Brendon and Rachel’s entrance, or Rachel’s god-awful laugh, the doorbell rings again and Jordan Lloyd and Jeff Schroeder walk in! Two of my favorites who I am thrilled to see are still together after also having met on BB almost two years ago. The newbie contestants are much more pleased with this surprise and treat the duo and previous BB winner (Jordan) as BB celebrity.
H.O.H. COMPETITION
Shelly is the first to fall off, saying to the camera later that she and partner Cassie wanted to seem weak. That’s funny because the entire newbie group seemed weak and when it was all said and done, there were still 3 repeating BB houseguests left when all newbies had shamelessly fallen off. That’s bad especially considering there are two more newbies than oldies in the house.
Jordan expectantly falls next followed by Keith and then Cassi. Then Lowan, Adam, Jeff and Dominic take falls one after another. Brendan falls too, and Kalia follows shortly thereafter. The remaining contestants are shot with whip cream, and Porsche falls immediately, leaving only the oldies in the game. Dick and Daniele agree to fall if Rachel promises them safety and she agrees. With that deal in place, Dick falls off. Then goes Danielle and Rachel is crowned the first H.O.H.
Once inside, Julie Chen informs the whip creamed houseguests of the Golden Key twist and says “Being a nominee this season will be both a blessing and a curse” since the person who survives the nomination would win the key guarantying a spot in the top ten. The Golden Key winner will not be able to participate in a H.O.H. competition but will be able to vote on evictions. One thing that Julie did not address but which I put together is that the Power of Veto will save a couple as a pair and not just one person.
Sunday night, Rachel will have to nominate the couple she wants to put up for eviction. Wednesday, the house will compete for the Power of Veto, followed by Thursday night’s eviction.
QUICK NEWBIES BIO
Adam Poch – A metal head, music inventory manager who loves appletinis and Beverly Hills, 90210. He and Evel Dick will either be BFFs or end up killing each other. It could go either way.
Cassi Colvin – A beautiful model from Texas who is hiding her real day job so the other players don’t misjudge her as someone trying to steal their boyfriends. She claims she is a southern tomboy guys’ girl who loves her beer and country music.
Dominic Briones- A 24-year old college student adrenaline junkie who is a virgin and still living with mom.
Kalia Booker – A proclaimed real-life Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City–she is a relationship advice blogger. She also has a phobia of hair and can’t fathom showering in a public shower.
Keith Henderson – A youth minister who loves women as much as his Bible and who lied about his profession, telling everyone he is a matchmaker. He thought that would help him get in tight with the BB ladies so he could form an alliance called “Keith’s Angels.” But then, the couples’ pairing twist squashed his heavenly dreams.
Lawon Exum – A legal file clerk who wears outlandish clothes. He seems to be trying way too hard to be funny, but then, I know someone who knows him in real life and he promised me that Lawon will have us in stitches soon enough. So, only time can tell.
Porsche Briggs – That’s right, Porsche. She got the name because her parents thought it would be funny naming their baby girl after a car. She is a VIP cocktail waitress from Miami Beach, Fla., who says her personality is her best feature, but “the doctors did help a little bit” when they enhanced her boobs. She also lied about her profession because, get this, to avoid everyone thinking her real job as a waitress is “too luxurious” of a career. So, she told everyone she’s a student.
Shelly Moore- May be the oldest player on the newbie side. A mom and an outdoor apparel company VP.
