Snooki and JWoww have come a long way from their alcohol fueled drama in the Jersey Shore house.
For six seasons, we witnessed their ups and downs and it made for some of the best reality TV scenes ever.
There was no reality show on the air quite like it, but by the time the final season rolled around, it was pretty stale.
It probably didn’t help matters that Snooki was pregnant with her first child. This changed the dynamic of the show. Snooki changed from an immature young woman into a very strong woman with a family in mind.
No one was surprised when it was announced that Jersey Shore was coming to an end in 2012. There’s only so many times you can watch the same group of people get drunk and make fun of themselves.
Snooki & JWoww’s spin-off lasted for four seasons and it chronicled the two best friends as they navigated a more mature lifestyle.
Snooki & JWoww recently took a trip to the Jersey Shore house where it all began, but they took their kids with them.
That’s wrong on so many levels. Remember the smoosh room? Let’s hope that room has been steam cleaned.
That was the go-to place when people in the house wanted to indulge in some sexual activity, so we can only imagine the horrors that could be hiding in there.

JWoww’s husband, Roger took to his wife’s blog to speak about their experience and made it clear that he wasn’t fond of the kids going to the house.
“For reasons unknown my wife and Nicole took our kids to the Jersey Shore house today and let them pose for a photo op in the “Smoosh Room” or as I like to call it the DNA Daycare,” Roger revealed on the blog.
Christina Grimmie, who placed in the top three on The Voice‘s sixth season as part of Adam Levin’s team, has passed away on June 11th from gunshot wounds after performing at an Orlando, FL concert.
Grimmie opened for the band, Before You Exit at Plaza Live. While signing autographs after the performance, Grimmie was approached by a man with two guns, according to People.
The man shot the singer, 22, before being tackled by her brother. He then turned the gun on himself.
“The show ended at approximately 10 o’clock,” Orlando Sgt. Wanda Miglio said during a news conference.
“After that they were selling merchandise and signing autographs. We know that the suspect walked up and shot Christina at that point. We know that her brother tackled the suspect and that’s when the suspect shot himself.”
“Her brother is a hero for saving and stopping him from not hurting anyone else.”
According to WFTV, fans tweeted from inside the venue after hearing six gun shots.
“It is with a heavy heart that we can confirm that Christina has passed and went home to be with the Lord. She was shot at her show in Orlando, and unfortunately didn’t survive the gun shot wounds,” Grimmie’s rep told People in an official statement.
“We ask at this time that you respect the privacy of her family and friends in their time of mourning.”
A GoFundMe page has been set up to aid her family.
NBC tweeted their devastation after hearing about the incident.
“We are heartbroken,” the network wrote.
“@TheRealGrimmie is a loved member of our family. Our thoughts are with her and her family. #PrayForChristina.”
The Voice judge Blake Shelton responded to the news as well.
“Just reading the same stuff y’all are at this point,” Shelton tweeted. “Can’t believe this..”
No other details about the gunman’s motive are available at this time.

Now that most of the storylines in Game of Thrones have progressed beyond the point that George R.R. Martin has reached in his ongoing A Song of Ice and Fire series of novels, all bets are off in terms of what might happen next.
Of course, that’s just a figure of speech. What we really mean to say is – it’s time for the betting to begin!
You see, up until now, showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss were working from some very popular source material, which meant lots of people had a good idea of where the plot was headed.
Sure, there were some digressions here and there, but for the most part, the show remained true to the broad strokes of Martin’s novels.
These days we’re in spoiler-free territory, and not even those smug book-readers know what’ll happen next.
Though Season 6 has just begun, we’ve already seen one major twist, and you can be sure there will be more to come.
Like those intimidating fellas who run the Iron Bank of Braavos, Vegas oddsmakers never pass up an opportunity to make a buck, so naturally, they’re now taking bets on the likelihood that several major characters will win “the great game” and sit atop the Iron Throne.
Check out the odds in the gallery below, and whatever you do, don’t sleep on Hodor – people like a politician of few words:
1. Jon Snow: 5/2
The odds favor the bastard son of Ned Stark (or, if you believe certain theories, Rhaegar Targaryen). It may seem unlikely for a dead man to become king, but hey, who would’ve guessed that Donald Trump would have a real shot at being president? Anything can happen, folks!
2. Daenerys Targaryen: 3/1
Obviously, the Khaleesi has a good chance of being the first female on the Iron Throne. It’s a fairly safe soon have one more title to add to her incredibly long list.
3. Tyrion Lannister: 7/1
Tyrion is like the Bernie Sanders of this race. He’s a long shot, but a lot of people really, really like him, and sometimes that’s all it takes.
4. Petyr Baelish: 15/2
Never underestimate Littlefinger! The man might be the smoothest talker in Westeros.
5. Bran or Rickon Stark: 16/1
Bran, maybe. Rickon, not so much. Has anyone even seen that kid lately?!
6. Margaery Tyrell: 18/1
She may have married two kings, but we still have a hard time picturing Margaery on the Iron Throne.
HBO has announced that it has picked up Game of Thrones for a seventh season.
In related news: the sky is blue, the Pope is Catholic and Prince was an amazing musical talent.
The network made this pretty obvious confirmation just days before Game of Thrones Season 6 premieres on Sunday night at 9 p.m.
There had never been any doubt that the series would be renewed for a seventh or an eighth season, with showrunner David Benioff recently telling Variety that there may only be “13 episodes” remaining after Season 6 is complete.
“We’re heading into the final lap,” Benioff said, acknowledging that the final two seasons may be broken up into six and seven episodes, respectively.
HBO did not mention in this announcement just how many installment will comprise Season 7, which will kick off in the spring of 2017.
The cable network also announced that Veep and Silicon Valley, both of which premiere this Sunday, have been renewed for next year.
As for what fans can expect on Season 6?
As usual, everyone involved with the epic drama has remained as tight-lipped as possible regarding upcoming storylines.
Moreover, the show has actually now outpaced George R.R. Martin, whose latest novel will NOT be complete by the time new episodes air.
So even loyal book fans are in the dark regarding what’s on tap.
This much we know, however: Jon Snow is dead…
… until he gets brought back to life, that is. Trust us. This is 1,000% happening.
Last Friday, I wondered aloud what happened to Bradley Cooper’s Oscar campaign. He hit hard (and early) in October with a conversation about wanting babies. Since then, he’s been surprisingly low key because he’s busy on Broadway with a starring role in the Elephant Man revival. But don’t worry, ladies. Daddy is back and covering the January issue of Vanity Fair to promote his turn as a Navy SEAL in American Sniper.
This cover is really something, right? BCoop and his big red balls are paying tribute to an iconic Sean Connery image. It doesn’t quite work out as planned. Connery played it smooth, and Bradley is full of frenetic energy. VF really played up the blue in his eyes too. Only a few excerpts have surfaced so far. Bradley says he nearly quit acting during his Alias days to go back and get a Ph.D. in English lit. Can you imagine professor BCoop? Excerpts, please:
On emotionally preparing for the role: “Losing someone close to me. Going through love and loss . . . knowing what’s important. Realizing that the bottom line is that all I got is me, so it’s about time to stop trying to be something that I think you would want me to be. Or that would give me what I think I need. As you get older, thank God, your body deteriorates, but your soul sort of flourishes.”
He didn’t take simulants to gain weight: “aand didn’t want to do anything. I had a realistic conversation. Can I do this in three months naturally? Can I gain 30 pounds of f***ing muscle? I didn’t know if I would be able to do it or not. Thank God–luckily–my f***ing body reacted fast.”
On his state of mind: “I see life much more gray as I get older. I was so sort of black-and-white in my late 20s. There’s right and there’s wrong and that’s it. That’s a tough way to live. It’s rare that I judge somebody, really rare. I think people feel that, so it’s sort of easy to get close to somebody if you don’t feel judged by them.”
Getting gritty at work: “I always knew I wanted to be in the trenches with a director making the movie. I always felt that’s what I’m supposed to be doing. I always knew deep down that if I’m not going to do that then I’m not too long for this business.”
Sienna Miller on BCoop: “He’d be brilliant, but he’d be a nightmare [as a director]. He won’t let anyone get away with anything.”
These excerpts aren’t too interesting. I hope some better tidbits surface soon. Bradley needs to dig deep for that Oscar nomination, so he can make it a threefer. Do you think he’ll ever win an Academy Award? This role should show some range and get him out of the yelling trap. BCoop will earn a nomination at the very least. Body transformation, yo.
Here’s a photo of BCoop hopping on the NYC subway a few weeks ago. I love it when celebrities take the subway. Dude is trying hard to not be noticed, but he looks like an extra on Law & Order: SVU. Come to think of it, he appeared on the show during Season 6. (I watch too many USA reruns at the gym.)

Beyonce posted this photo with Solange, Luptia Nyong’o and Sarah Paulson at the MET Gala, which is the night the alleged fight took place. (instagram.com/beyonce)
-The Jay Z/Solange elevator fight video is burning up the interwebs right now. If you haven’t watched TMZ’s extended version, it’s worth it. Clearly, the security guard pressed the emergency stop button until he could get things under control (either that, or they’re on the longest elevator ride ever.) The prevailing theory is that Solange was either super drunk the night of the MET Gala (though the way she got her shit together as soon as she exited the elevator makes me wonder), or that she was defending Beyonce over something Jay did (which lends credence to some blind items and rumours). The most surprising thing is how Bey appears super stoic during the whole thing — and then turns on the smiles for the paparazzi immediately after. For someone who’s always controlled her image so fiercely, today must suck for her.
-Whatever happened, Solange reportedly deleted all of her pics of Beyoncefrom her Instagram.
-Speaking of blind items, Jennifer Esposito nearly confirmed some rumours about Bradley Cooper.
–George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin had a star-studded engagement party in Malibu that included a serenade by Bono. So basically, they continue to win at life.
-Meanwhile, Stacy Keibler wants to remind you that she’s alive with a “hey! hey! look over here!” post.
-There’s lots of news coming out of the network upfronts this week. NBC confirmed that they’re bringing back Parenthood and Parks and Rec for shortened, final seasons. They also released trailers for some of their new shows. Marry Me (which feels like a sequel to Happy Endings) and Constantine may have promise. Katherine Heigl‘s State of Affairs looks predictably awful.
-Fox also announced some big moves, including pairing Gotham with Sleepy Hollow, reducing Glee’s final season, and promising that Graceland will have a different ending than Broadchurch.
-Speaking of Broadchurch, David Tennantmight be the first guy to jump from an original series to the American remake and back.
–Jane Krakowski is getting back in bed with Tina Fey.
–Dan Harmoncurrently feels “eh” on whether Community should come back somewhere else. Netflix has already bowed out.
–Scarlett Johansson and her fiancé attended an English wedding — and she didn’t bother to wear a fascinator. #missedopportunity.
–Eminem‘s Mother’s Day message to his estranged mom was all kinds of sweet.
-I like this article about all the politics involved with appearing on the Cannes red carpet.
–Jon Hamm hammed it up while taking selfies with his Don Draper wax figure.
–Jennifer Lawrence almost fell down (again!) while walking the red carpet in a truly terrible dress. (Seriously, is that thing velvet?!)
-Meanwhile, Jennifer says boyfriend Nicholas Hoult is a great roommate.
-Whatever you do, don’t put Anna Wintour and Tim Gunn in a room together.
-Breathe easy, everyone. Chris Brown was sentenced to another 131 days in jail.
-How are they still adding cast members to the 50 Shades movie, which is well into production? Aaron Taylor-Johnson just joined the cast, which seems like a terrible career move.
–Justin Timberlake appeared on last night’s episode of Oprah’s Master Class, where he dropped such bon mots as “When you look at me, you should understand that I am America.”
-Speaking of douche-tastic sound bites, Shia LaBeouf said: “At this point, I have enough money to live 25 lifetimes,” before telling a totally made up story about Jaden Smith. Go home, Shia. You’re drunk.
-THR has started posting Emmy roundtables. First up: showrunners Matthew Weiner, Vince Gilligan and Aaron Sorkin.
-Nice get: Octavia Spencer is joining the cast of Insurgent, the sequel to Divergent.
–Sherri Shepherd and her estranged husband are expecting a baby via surrogate … and he wants the kid.
-I’m guessing Beyonce was wishing we were still all talking about her weekend photo bomb right now.
–Lea Michele posted a heartbreaking pic of Cory Monteith in honour of his birthday.
-I kind of wish Melissa McCarthy could break free from these types of roles, especially since her hubby wrote this movie.

-It was a TV network bloodbath this afternoon, with NBC and ABC cancelling a bunch of shows, including Crisis, Believe, Super Fun Night, Revolution (the third JJ Abrams show to be axed this week) and a couple I actually watch: Trophy Wife, Suburgatory and — most heartbreakingly of all — Community. Now we’ll never know who the Ass Bandit is!
-Just in case you thought we were now stuck in the darkest timeline, here’s a good article on why we were lucky to get five seasons of Community in the first place.
-In really surprising news, Hannibal survived (likely because of its international funding deal, proving ratings don’t always matter when it comes to renewals).
-There’s still no word on Parenthood’s fate, and fans are freaking out. (My bet is it’s coming back, especially since NBC just wiped out its entire slate of dramas. Pay cuts are reportedly on the table though, so it all depends on if the cast is willing to play ball.)
-In happier TV news, Elisha Cuthbert, Krysten Ritter, David Duchovny, Casey Wilson and Kate Walsh are all returning to TV.
–Justin Bieber has passive-aggressively responded to Seth Rogen‘s repeated slamming of him. It hasn’t stopped Seth at all.
-Sad news: The View’s Sherri Shepherdis divorcing husbandLamar Sally.
–James Franco told Letterman he shared that naked selfie on Instagram because “it’s what the people want.” What people? I’m gonna need names!
-Also, James Franco may play Tommy Wiseau in movie about the making of The Room…which actually makes a lot of sense.
-Uh oh. Is Hilary Duffa Scientologist?
–Lupita Nyong’o‘s photos from inside the White House are so goddamn adorable!
–Rebel Wilson has been cast as the lead in a Private Benjamin remake, which I don’t hate.
-I keep forgetting that Paul Wesley is dating his former Vampire Diaries costar, Phoebe Tonkin. I’ve been side-eyeing her ever since she had a hissy fit over the fact that people were saying mean things about her character on The Originals on Tumblr. Maybe stop Googling your name, lady.
-The Breaking Bad spin-off just added three new cast members. So this is really happening, huh?
–Nicole Kidman has responded to the royal family’s outrage over her Grace Kelly biopic.
–Conan O’Brien gently eviscerated Sharon Stone’s new movie to her face on his show last night.

-Meanwhile, here’s a new clip from Maleficent.
–Lea Michele and Glee creator Ryan Murphy are in talks to team up for a real Funny Girl Broadway revival.
