The 2012 Grammy Awards will be televised on February 12, 2012!

Here we are again tonight to unravel some of Murder House’s chilling and killing mysteries on a new episode of American Horror Story. Just like on Christmas Eve, the house will be visited by yet another ghost; one of the murder victims! Meanwhile, we will also learn a little bit about the church and religion and how Vivian’s demon child factors into the picture. Constance, the crazy neighbor, is also in for a lovely surprise with her son, Tate, who is going to be very sorry for his “rubber man” actions.

Will Vivian find out who the father of her child is? Will poor Vivian get out of the nut house tonight? Will Ben realize what’s happening to Vivian before it’s too late? Will Constance find some way to end this demon child life and will Tate intervene? How will Violet take the news that her new sibling is actually her boyfriend’s kid? Eeewwww!

Maybe we will find out some answers to these and many more questions about the show.

FX Synopsis:

One of history’s most famous murder victims pays the house a visit. Constance discovers more of Tate’s bad behavior.

Check out this week’s preview video here.

RECAP:

So tonight we begin with an old taxi pulling up to the house. A beautiful woman gets out and rings the bell. It’s 1947. She is there to see a dentist. She tells him she doesn’t have much money so if they could come to an arrangement (sexual that is) so she can get her tooth taken care of that would be good. She keeps hitting on the good dentist who than gases her to sleep.

After Kris Humphries revealed that he wanted to get an annulment from Kim Kardashian, as opposed to divorcing her, Kim is telling all of her little friends that she is not a fraud. Methinks doth protest too much!

So an annulment basically shreds any record of them ever having been married. The hitch is, that he would have to claim on the documents that she defrauded him. Under the law in California, one can file for an annulment if there is proof of incest, bigamy, unsound mind, impotency, fraud or force.

Kim is insisting that her 72 day SHAM of a marriage to Kris was completely legitimate. Kim said that she talked with Kris about filing for an annulment prior to the divorce filing, but they had no grounds. So, she had to file for divorce, instead.

Still, if she is STILL trying to convince people that she’s not a fraud, then she definitely has a problem. Her whole life wreaks of phony, fake, media PR, for their own personal gain. What do you think? Too harsh? Or just the plain truth?

An all new episode of Survivor: South Pacific airs tonight at 8PM EST on CBS. This episode is titled, Cult Like and is the twelfth episode of season 23.

Episode Synopsis:

The alliance between Coach and Cochran strengthens.

Watch:

On last week’s episode, the network opted to recap the season up until then, with A Closer Look. Thank you to Thanksgiving for pre-empting a real show for last week. Check out last week’s review, in case you’ve missed the show.

What to expect on tonight’s show, via Examiner:

Next Time On…the last 5 minutes of this “recap” episode may have been the most revealing. We all know that 6 people can’t win Survivor…Upolu must eventually turn on each other. We get a bunch of juicy, if brief, clips that foreshadow what may be coming next…from Coach telling someone off-camera “after all I’ve done for you, you can’t do this for me?” to some scenes that tease Brandon turning on Coach, and Sophie turning on Albert. Of course this is Survivor, where clips are often edited to lead us in a certain direction, only to head in another.

Stay tuned to find out what happened after the recap episode tonight!

Update: Read the recap here!

There is a new series on FOX called I Hate My Teenage Daughter and the show is making its debut tonight — right after The X Factor USA.

Cast:

Jaime Pressly as Annie
Katie Finneran as Nikki
Eric Sheffer Stevens as Matt
Aisha Dee as Mackenzie
Chad Coleman as Gary
Kristi Lauren as Sophie

From the official description of the show:

I HATE MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER is a new multi-camera family comedy starring Jaime Pressly and Katie Finneran as single moms, best friends – and former nerds – who fear their privileged and overly indulged daughters are turning out just like the mean girls who picked on them in high school.

ANNIE (Pressly), who was raised in an ultra-strict, über-religious household where she had little-to-no freedom, pretty much allows her daughter, SOPHIE (Kristi Lauren), to do whatever she wants. Annie’s best friend NIKKI (Finneran), once an unpopular, overweight social pariah, is now a pretty Southern belle who also allows her daughter, MACKENZIE (Aisha Dee), to do as she pleases.

Watch the promo for the series premiere episode:

Jaime Pressly said of the role, “In order for me to come back to TV – being that Earl is still on [in reruns] and that Joy was such a strong character – I have to be able to play something that was completely opposite of her. And this character is definitely that.”

Until our recap, enjoy these photos from the show’s first episode:

Will you be watching?

UPDATE: RECAP HERE

Earsucker.com broke the news that it’s Michael Jackson Week on tonight’s performance episode of The X Factor USA. Earlier this week, we reported that the top seven remaining contestants would be singing songs from MJ’s songbook. Tomorrow night’s show will also feature another double elimination, just like last week.

UPDATE: Live elimination recap here!

On last week’s giving thanks episode, we saw the departure of LeRoy Bell, along with Paula Abdul’s remaining group, Lakoda Rayne. The last elimination saw Marcus Canty going head-to-head with LeRoy Bell, and the judges went into a deadlock, leaving the decision up to America’s votes.

The Bachelorette star Ali Fedotowski graces the latest cover of People magazine, where she talks about leaving her former fiance, Roberto Martinez.

After meeting on the set of the television show, Ali said that she felt like she was ready to get married right away. After being engaged for 18 months, the couple called time on their relationship. Now, she is opening up about what went wrong for them.

Ali said, “I wouldn’t be being truthful if I said this came out of nowhere. We definitely had been having problems. But I had always believed that we could work it out.”

They were set to get married in 2010, but then postponed their plans, so that they could work on staying together. However, despite their attempts, they continued to argue.

She added, “We both realized we were unhappy more than we were happy. And we both deserved more.”

Do you think she should try her luck on the show again? Should Ali Fedotowski be the next Bachelorette so that she can try and find love again? If not, who do you think she should date? Sound off in the comments and let us know your thoughts!

Now magazine is reporting that Katy Perry has gone ahead and filed for divorce from British actor/comedian Russell Brand. Interesting. But where is the confirmation?!?

Apparently after doing a little bit of digging, they’re saying that the rumors that were circulating online were absolutely false.

Katy and Russell have faced split rumors before, but this time, someone went through a lot of trouble to make it sound real. A fake Twitter profile had claimed that Katy had already filed the papers.

Perhaps that’s just wishful thinking for some people?

Besides all of that, Katy has already said that she wants kids with that dufus. She revealed, “I would love to have children. That’s one of the reasons you get married. But I love drinking alcohol so not yet.”

So thankfully for them that they’re not knocked up — or divorcing. That ought to quiet down the rumor mill — for a minute.

Do you think they’ll end up divorcing? Or will Katy get that fairytale lifestyle with her British squeeze?

Yesterday, Conrad Murray appeared in front of Judge Michael Pastor to be sentenced over the involuntary manslaughter of Michael Jackson. The Judge seemed so infuriated with Murray over the fact that he did a documentary of the case, even before the jury reached its verdict.

He sold the rights to the documentary, reportedly, because he needed the cash. The Judge called him out for what he was, a doctor who sold his soul to the highest bidder. Murray even recorded Michael secretly, probably in hopes of using it against him, if their relationship went South.

In recording his documentary, Murray said that he doesn’t feel any guilt over Michael’s death, because he didn’t feel as if he had done anything wrong. This made the Judge upset, because Murray is obviously showing no signs of remorse in doing what he did. In the end, he got the maximum sentence of four years in the Los Angeles County Jail.

Don’t think for one second that Murray is upset over the documentary, because he’s not. In fact, he’s happy about it because he wanted the public to hear his side of the story.

TMZ reports:

Murray — who declined to testify in his trial — spoke with friends and family after the sentence. We’re told Murray said he knew he was going to get the maximum sentence, so it didn’t bother him that he became Judge Michael Pastor’s human punching bag over the things he said in the documentary — in particular, trashing Michael Jackson and not accepting any blame for his death.

And we know more about Murray’s reaction to the sentence. He’s saying he’s “surprisingly upbeat” about the sentence, telling one friend, “I’m just relieved it’s finally over,” adding, “Don’t worry, I’m fine, and I’ll be out soon.”

Douche.

Natalie Wood’s murder case is featured front and center on the latest cover of Globe Magazine, with the title that the case has been solved!

From their report:

The baffling mystery of Natalie Wood’s death has finally been solved after 30 years with the emergence of a witness who heard the beauty’s final cries. And Natalie also made chilling revelations in a secret diary. Find out what she wrote and how her last words reveal what REALLY happened — only in the new GLOBE.

Also featured in this issue is Frank Sinatra seducing two of the First Ladies. I wonder who he hooked up with? Hmmm…?

In addition, they’re featuring an expose on the identity of President Obama’s real father. From their report on that:

An official police investigation into President Barack Obama’s birth certificate has unearthed shocking information that his father may not have been the African-born Barack Sr.

Do they have new evidence that has been unearthed on Natalie Wood? They claim to have the down-low on her last words, which reveal what really happened.

Angelina Jolie is featured on the newest issue of Life & Style magazine, with the headline that she’s “desperate to be skinny”. Okay, really?!? She’s already thin and has been thin for all of her life, why would she be desperate to get even thinner?

Reportedly, she has been surviving on just 600 calories per day, in an effort to stay as thin as she is. They even go as far as saying that her partner, Brad Pitt, has been begging her frail self to stop starving herself. Really?!?

She’s thin because she can afford to hire chefs to cook for her and her rainbow nation of children. If she puts on weight, she can afford to get a personal trainer or have surgery to have the excess weight removed. We’re guessing that she’s just naturally a super thin person.

Either way, she looks good.

Also featured in this issue, they’re going inside Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart’s love nest. In addition to that, Kim Kardashian is alone for the holidays. OF HER OWN DOING. DUH. She divorced HIM, not the other way around. Or were we really supposed to believe that he’s gay? We’re confused.

Are you buying this?
