Thanks for the inside view Anna ..... love to hear what is really going on and get the real scoop! Glad the Drea and Darrel are doing so well!

All thru the episode I kept saying to my daughter, Melissa has to go, Melissa has to go ...... Really I just could not stand to look at her face anymore ..... That red team is such game players. My love for grey is starting to come back .... Can't believe that we have to wait to find out the results of the challenge .... Go Drea!

I agree with what you guys said about team grey. I really like them, but now as the lose weight, they are starting to get caught up in game play. I was so glad that Michael won immunity - loved that he was getting into the challenge with eighties music running thru his head LOL. He really needs to be there ...... Go team Black ......

ugg ...... freaking red team ........

I like this part too, love to see how far they make it on their own ....

I like this show as well, find it motivating. I also like that Bob and Jillian are working together this year. Now ....... I do wonder a few things about it ....... like no one loses .5 pounds, and also if they are weighed before they go in in order to determine the team/individual order of being weighed for Allison. just my 2 cents ......

Cool!

I think the real race will be who will win the at home prize ..... Not sure who I would want for that. I am not even sure who I would want to be the biggest loser at this stage. I am very tired of Tara and her whining, if Mike wins, it would be interesting to see how that affects his brother ...... I for one, would like to see how all previous players are doing today and how much weight they have gained back after the show one to to two years out. I was happy that Jillian addressed balancing when they players were back home for 30 days. I don't think that they teach this enough to these guys. They get on the whole lose lose lose, but are not showed what to do once they get to their goals. I know that I would benefit from that.

I agree. Filipe's meltdown was a disappointment because I think they are being pitched as the big teddy bears of the group. But the clips of Jillian commenting on their lack of weight loss after they left her team was pretty awful too. I agree with you about Jillian. To me, when you are this heavy and you have made the decision to change your life and lose the weight, it should be all about that, not making a comment about lack of weight loss after the left her team .... Really - the trainers are there to help go about making a life change .....

I am guessing no as well ..... shame really .....

Agreed. I have not been a Helen fan from the outset, and the decision to send her daughter home-- again-- reeked of selfishness on Helen's part. Helen and the yellow team need to go home ASAP. I would like for all of them to go home, and I never thought I would say this, but I am getting tired of Tara dumping on her partner ....... made me wish they would fall below the yellow line and send her home. my 2 cents worth ok, back to lurking .....

He will look blown up because he is on a steroid as one of his anti rejection meds. The steroid will give you a moon face and also make you want to eat all the time.

Wasn't their a picture floating around a little while back with a shot of her purse with condoms in it? Guess she she is prepared should should the moment arise?

In that picture his wife almost looks like Lauren Graham!

Whedon answers with 'Serenity' DVDDirector says big-screen spinoff of Firefly wasn’t an act of vengeanceBy BRUCE KIRKLAND -- Toronto SunThere is no revenge, no last laugh for filmmaker Joss Whedon.“Do I have the last laugh?” the normally elusive Whedon asks rhetorically in a recent telephone interview from Los Angeles. “I don’t think there is a last laugh. But I still have the ability to laugh!”Punctuating his words with a dry chuckle, the 41-year-old Whedon is telling the Sun about the aftermath of Serenity, the big-screen movie spinoff of his ill-fated but much-loved TV series, Firefly.He says there is now, finally, a measure of satisfaction. “It doesn’t suck! It’s not the worst feeling.”Serenity, freshly released on DVD, is one of those against-all-odds Hollywood stories — and the DVD culture has a lot to do with what he has accomplished.First some history: Despite the cult success of Whedon’s earlier series, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Whedon saw Firefly crash and burn in 2002. The show, for all its rave reviews, was cancelled after only 12 of its 14 original episodes were broadcast.Stubbornly, Whedon refused to let his space western meet such an ignoble end. After sales of the Firefly DVD exploded among his fans — the people who have adopted the name Browncoats as a homage to the series — Whedon eventually got it revived as a movie. And he rocketed on with the same core cast led by rugged Canadian Nathan Fillion and including Gina Torres, Adam Baldwin, Summer Glau, Ron Glass, Alan Tudyk, Jewel Staite, Sean Maher and Morena Baccarin.“It was never about vengeance,” Whedon says of getting Firefly in front of the cameras again as Serenity. But he does feel he was royally screwed by Fox television executives, who he says never believed in his show.“You know, I’ve talked to other people who have created many more successful shows than I have and they’ve gone through the same thing,” Whedon says. “I think in my case it was particularly egregious. I think I was basically a victim of what I like to call ‘dumb people’ — people who are never going to trust anything except what they already know.”The Fox executives, he says, did not know what Whedon was doing with Firefly, the story of a band of soldiers who, after being defeated in a civil war, turned to intergalactic banditry, like Jesse James’ gang after the U.S. Civil War. Their battered ship, paradoxically, was named Serenity. The point was to make reluctant heroes out of everyday, ordinary people in unusual circumstances.“Your worst imaginings of what a group of executives could be is basically what was happening at the time there,” Whedon says. He was told bluntly that another show, Fastlane, was “the golden boy” of the studio.“You know that, even if these adoptive parents decide to keep you, they’re probably going to beat you up.”Whedon, facing what he saw as rejection and abuse, dug in for the long haul. “I just loved the show too much. It wasn’t just those stories. It was those actors.“When you’re working up a story, it is one thing to write it and have them go: ‘Well, we’re not going to make this!’ And it’s another thing when the set’s built and the thing is on its way and (then) have it pulled out from under you. Those people, the actors, became as dear to me as the characters they were playing and I felt a responsibility to them. I told them this thing was going to go. When it didn’t, I felt like I had sort of lied. I felt dishonoured.“So, as much as the characters themselves were in my blood, the people I was working with had created an extraordinary atmosphere that doesn’t really happen very often in this town. It was something that I felt an obligation to.”When Serenity was released in theatres last year, it hit a modest $26 million U.S. in North America, plus another $14 million internationally.“Obviously,” Whedon says drily, “It didn’t make its money back. It got close, but you want it to blow up huge and be the next big thing. And it didn’t do that. I’m never satisfied. It wasn’t an embarrassment but it was frustrating that more people didn’t see it.”But Whedon still has faith. Just as the DVD sales for Firefly gave Serenity a life in the first place, the DVD sales for Serenity are expected to push it into profit.“I think DVD will be a good home for it. I think its momentum will actually start now.”

Armstrong and Crow out of the saddleBANG(BANG) - Rock star Sheryl Crow has reportedly split from cycling legend Lance Armstrong.The couple, who met at a Las Vegas charity show, have been inseparable for the past 18 months.However, friends say the pair's hectic work commitments have put too great a strain on the relationship.While Armstrong is training at his Texan home for his final Tour De France in July, Crow has been busy recording a new album in far away New York.A source revealed to America's Star magazine: "Any relationship is difficult when you spend more time apart. They spend more time on the phone than together, which is a shame."Last summer, Crow supported Armstrong as he secured a place in the record books after winning the Tour De France for an astonishing six successive time.This year, the sportsman, who survived testicular cancer, will be aiming for a seventh win in the world's most gruelling race, after which he plans to retire.The father-of-three has said: "I think the biggest inspiration for this decision is my children."They are the ones who have told me that it's time to come home."

advertisement Portman's miracle hair growBANG(BANG) - Shaven haired Natalie Portman is so desperate to grow back her chopped-off locks - she is bathing her skull in expensive mineral water.The 'Star Wars' beauty, who last week confessed to keeping her shorn off hair in a bag because she couldn't bear to part with it, allegedly forked out $360US on Evian water at the Cannes Film Festival to use solely for washing her head stubble.The screen beauty, who had the skinhead cut for her latest role in forthcoming movie 'V For Vendetta', is allegedly finding the drastic new look difficult to live with, according to Britain's Sunday Express newspaper.Earlier this week, it was revealed the stunning actress was mistaken for Irish singer Sinead O'Connor after lopping off her brunette bob.A source close to the star said: "People keep thinking Natalie is Sinead. But she thinks it's hilarious and loves the comparison."Despite her shaved head, the actress sent pulses racing at the Cannes premiere of 'Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith' when she arrived in a low-cut black dress.She was joined at the launch by a galaxy of stars including Samuel L. Jackson, 'Desperate Housewives' actress Eva Longoria, Sharon Stone and 'Star Wars' creator George Lucas.

I completely agree with you Cy. Totally disgusting and it was a real let down.

There's definitely things I used to do that I just won't any more."

Jamie Foxx dating Salma HayekAngela BaldassarreActors Jamie Foxx and Salma Hayek have been spotted on a string of dates sparking speculation they are enjoying a romance.The Oscar-winning actor and the sexy Mexican actress were seen at Miami Beach's Prime 112 restaurant looking very much the couple, while onlookers claim they were canoodling during a recent night out at Amika Loft Lounge and Discotheque.One told Life and Style magazine: "He opened the door for her and picked up flowers from a street vendor."

The most women I have had in my bed at the same time is five. But we were just watching TV that's all we did."In the past Hayek, 39, has been linked romantically to actors Edward Norton and Josh Lucas.
