Could Chloe-Jasmine be the most hysterical Celebrity Big Brother housemate of all time?
So ridiculously over-the-top is her behaviour, that sometimes she looks as though she's acting in a one-woman Victorian melodrama. We've seen the star theatrically raise her arm to her head in despair, throw herself onto a piece of furniture and wail, and even ask Big Brother in a high-pitched voice of utter desperation: "What am I to do?!"
One thing's for sure - she's certainly the only contestant we've seen break down and bawl without releasing a single tear.
Here's Chloe-Jasmine's tears (or no tears) explained below:
"We want to do inappropriate things!"
Chloe-Jasmine was only in the house for three days before she started caterwauling about not being able to have sex with fiance Stevi Ritchie.

Facing another tragic event, Johnny Cash’s great-niece Courtney Cash was found stabbed to death in her Tennessee home on Wednesday (March 19).
Putnam County Sheriff David Andrew stated the late musician’s kin was found stuffed into a box inside her home about 70 miles east of Nashville.
Andrews described the scene inside the house as “somewhat bloody” and added “there was a struggle.”
Miss Cash’s boyfriend William Austin Johnson is currently being treated for stab wounds at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. He apparently escaped the gruesome attack with he and Courtney’s child.
Although the motive has yet to be released to the public, the sheriff believes drugs are involved. “This is a senseless, tragic death of a young lady whose life was probably taken as a direct or indirect result of drugs.”
The couple’s friend, Wayne Gary Masciarella, was charged with first-degree murder in connection with the attack.

William Austin, a former white supremacist gang banger turned whistleblower and devout Christian, has filed a law suit against the A&E Television Networks. Austin claims the network endangered his life when they used images of him in an episode of History Channel's "Gangland."
"[Austin] has received death threats ... now that his image has been published on television. He constantly fears for his life and is in daily anguish as a result of the unauthorized publication of his likeness," reads the lawsuit, which was filed Monday in California Superior Court.
Austin claims his photo was used in an episode of the "Gangland" documentary television show that aired on April 21, 2010. According to an online description of that episode, it was about "Public Enemy No. 1," a white supremacist street gang based in southern California.
In 2004, the California Department of Justice described the gang as "one of the most powerful and fastest-growing gangs inside and outside prison.

Past Public Enemy #1 member William Austin says the History Channel’s Gangland endangered his life when they put private pictures of him on-air without his permission. In a 10-page complaint filed today, (Read it here) Austin says he’s received “death threats” and now “constantly fears for his life and is in daily anguish as a result of the unauthorized publication of his likeness.” Images of Austin were shown on season six of Gangland on April 21, 2010 in an episode entitled “Public Enemy #1” about the notorious SoCal white supremacist gang of the same name.

Anyone who has ever been to Vegas, or seen the movie The Hangover, knows that it's not the kind of place one can leave with a clean slate.
For the 90210 gang, we saw just how bad the fallout was from their Sin City trip in "A Thousand Words."
Publicly, Teddy got burned the worst, but he certainly wasn't the only one who was upset. The guy probably should've been more careful about letting Silver film something that was so personal to him. Everything becomes messier when political campaigns are involved.
Teddy wasn't the only victim in the leaked video scandal. He immediately blamed Shane when it wasn't even Shane's idea to get married in the first place. It just goes to show how little trust Teddy has in him.
The best scene with Teddy was his joy ride with Liam. I thought that was going to end much worse than it did.

This is it… Really it. The second season of the A-List: New York is over and done. All that's left to do is explain just what the hell happened to you and Doug, my straight friend that I totally did not make up last week to entertain myself.
"These people bitch a lot," observes Doug. "I thought like being rich was supposed to made people happy."
"I don't know about that. But most of these people aren't rich," I reply. "They're just famewhores and wannabes."
"Then what does the 'A' in A-List stand for?"
"A**hole, from the looks of things."
It's obvious from the start that part 2 will follow two primary trajectories; Austin vs. Nyasha and Austin vs. Derek. Will we learn anything new regarding the former? Will there be any progress made by the latter?
Instead of recapping this reunion beat for beat, let's just skip over to...

Austin and hubby Jake begin this week’s episode riding horses on a beach at the Hamptons. When the guys dismount for a romantic beach picnic, in several shots, the entire left frame is filled with Seabuscuit’s posterior. And I knew in that moment that the symbolism gods were surely smiling at me.
Austin brings Jake to the beach for a romantic picnic to show that he’s truly (sorta-kinda) sorry about the fluff he received last week. But all Jake wants to talk about is Austin’s feud with Rodiney and having a traditionally big New York wedding. Come on, Jake. Open your eyes! And after you do, Run! It’s not too late to save yourself.

Contemplating which charity you'll be donating to this holiday season? If you were a fan of the recently passed Leslie Nielsen, you might want to consider donating to the Starkey Hearing Foundation, an organization whose cause he trumpeted more than once or twice. Each year, the Foundation’s goal is to deliver more than 100,000 hearing aids. Within the next decade, the Foundation aims to donate a total of one million hearing aids. Now, if you go to their web page, you can make a donation to help the charity and honor the memory of the comedy legend. Surely you can't think of a better way to give back this holiday season.
“Leslie was a true champion of the Starkey Hearing Foundation,” stated Bill Austin, founder of the Starkey Hearing Foundation. “He understood the value of hearing and was dedicated to helping children and adults hear better, to improve their quality of life.

Words to live by from A-List: New York's opening credits:
"The A-List is a crowded room. If you don't have a pot to piss in you probably shouldn't be there."
Well guys, I'm not sure exactly what that means, but consider this recap your very own piss pot.
It's your entree into gay A-List society, where you get to hobnob vicariously with the richly ironic and the famously shallow. But take heart! There's a lot to laugh at, and a few guys on this show you're really going to like.
If you're truly one of the haters and can't appreciate bad reality television (Jersey Shore, Real Housewives, etc.) at all, then the A-List and this recap probably aren't for you.
But I happen to like trainwreck reality TV, and on that front A-List: New York delivers!
"Sorry sir, didn't notice your piss pot there. Right this way."
