Music can’t cure the virus, nor can it replace whatever or whomever we are grieving during this time. What music can do is offer a brief reprieve, and the right song can transport you to a happier place. With that in mind, here’s the first installment in Rolling Stone‘s new weekly playlist series, “Music at Home”: 10 pop classics, new and old, meant to spark joy in a “break glass in case of emergency” situation. Listen below, and you’ll find it hard to avoid smiling — or,...

The net seems to be tightening around Gina and Stevano. Again.
Every time it seems like this story is over, somehow the writers find a way to prolong it.
Could the events on Days of Our Lives during the week of 1-06-20 finally lead to the reveal that "Hope" and "Steve" aren't who they claim to be?
As annoying as the Stevano story is, at least it generates some great performances.
Matthew Ashford did some of his best work --which is saying a lot because he has brought his A-game to Days of Our Lives over and over for the past 30 years -- when Jack confronted Steve.
I haven't seen you for years and now that I have, I think I'm better off without you. Maybe I always was.

Just when this Stevano/Gina doppelganger story couldn't get any sillier, it did.
On Days of Our Lives during the week of 12-30-19, Stevano and Gina flipped a coin before heading to the New Years' Eve party.
Imagine the great Stefano Dimera relying on an unweighted coin to make a major decision for him! What kind of crazy start is this to 2020?
At least Salem acknowledged New Years' Eve better than it did Christmas.
It was fun to see various Salemites getting ready to attend Julie's party, though it was irritating that that was the only on-screen celebration.
Supposedly, Jack, Jennifer, and JJ were having a quiet celebration at home, and it would have been nice to have some Deveraux family scenes juxtaposed with the craziness at the big celebration.
Plus, there were a lot of people at Julie's New Years' bash who missed the point of the whole...

Just when it seemed that Gabi couldn't get any crueler, Days of Our Lives made her twist the knife some more.
During Days of Our Lives the week of 10-28-19, Lani's mother came back to Salem for the first time in decades so that she could celebrate her daughter's wedding.
Meanwhile, the Horton women welcomed Lani to the family, and Gabi offered to live stream the event for Julie, while no one suspected that Gabi was trying to force Lani to dump Eli at the altar.
A seasoned ex-schemer like Julie should have seen through Gabi in half a second.
Gabi was not only overly eager to live stream the wedding but also smirked at Lani when Lani came to visit Julie before the nuptials.

Gabi struggled to let go of Stefan while the Hortons prayed she'd give his heart to Julie, Xander asked Rolf for a favor, and Brady moved Kristen into the Dimera mansion on Days of Our Lives during the week of 10-7-19.
Our TV Fanatic Jack Ori is joined by Kayla, Doolfan4life, and Tony from MyHourglass: A Days of Our Lives fan forum to debate whether the Hortons went too far, if Victor is right about Kristen getting her claws back into Brady, and which three characters we'd like to see get the boot.
The Hortons sent an endless parade of people to talk to Gabi about donating Stefan's heart. How should they have handled this situation?
Kayla: I think they should have given Gabi some more time to accept her husband's death and then try approaching her later on.
Doolfan4life: I thought what they did was entitled and ignorant.

Paul Erickson, the Gop operative and longtime boyfriend of criminal Russian national Maria Butina, has been indicted on 11 counts of federal wire fraud and money laundering, for what the U.S. Attorney’s office in South Dakota describes as a two-decade scheme to “defraud” investors and “personally enrich Erickson.” Each count is punishable by as many as 20 years in prison, meaning the 56-year-old is facing the potential of life behind bars. Erickson appeared in court Wednesday to plead not guilty; according to his attorney, Erickson is “free on his personal recognizance,...

Love hurts. Love is complicated.
And in particular, for one man who is trying to keep all his promises during the Armenian genocide.
In The Promise, Oscar Isaacs plays an Armenian medical student who made a promise to wed a girl for money to attend school in Turkey. During his student life, he falls in love with another woman and made certain promises to her too. As the Armenian genocide unfolds, he has made many promises, in which he had to keep and had to break.
The Promise also stars Charlotte Le Bon, Christian Bale, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Angela Sarafyan, Tom Hollander, James Crowell, Jean Reno, and Tamer Hassan. It is directed by Terry George.
Lrm had a sit-down interview with the lovely actresses Charlotte Le Bon and Angela Sarafyan. We had a wonderful discussion about the love triangle in the film and what supposedly would happen if their characters would’ve met in the movie.

If you find yourself in Westworld withdrawal, then boy, do we have the show for you!
Yes, it's about sentient, self aware robots -- here they are called "synths," not hosts. The difference is about how robots fit into the Real world, not just as pawns for the wealthy in a high tech amusement park.
Humans Season 2 Episode 1 starts with the rogue synth Niska, who killed a human last season, in possession of a code from the synth designer that gives her buds complete self awareness, making them essentially human.
Niska finds herself in Berlin, where the romance she has with a human named Astrid is the catalyst for her actions.
Astrid has no clue that Niska is a synth, so I feel really bad that she gave her heart to a machine. Love hurts.

Academy invitee Eddie Redmayne in 'The Theory of Everything.' Academy invites 322 new members: 'More diverse and inclusive list of filmmakers and artists than ever before' The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has offered membership to 322 individuals "who have distinguished themselves by their contributions to theatrical motion pictures." According to the Academy's press release, "those who accept the invitations will be the only additions to the Academy's membership in 2015." In case all 322 potential new members say an enthusiastic Yes, that means an injection of new blood representing about 5 percent of the Academy's current membership. In the words of Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs (as quoted in the press release), in 2015 "our branches have recognized a more diverse and inclusive list of filmmakers and artists than ever before, and we look forward to adding their creativity, ideas and experience to our organization." In recent years, the Academy membership has...

“I am thrilled that Los Angeles is gaining another architectural and cultural icon,” said Mayor Eric Garcetti. “My office of economic development has worked directly with the museum’s development team to ensure that the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures will create jobs, support tourism, and pay homage to the industry that helped define our identity as the creative capital of the world.”

Strangely dropping a press release on a historic day where the nation's attention is elsewhere, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences revealed their annual list of new member invitees this morning. For those who criticize the makeup of the Academy there was some good news and the stark realization the organization still has a long way to go. The Academy has spent the last eight to 10 years attempting to diversify its membership and this year's class mostly reflects that. There are significantly more invitees of Asian and African-American descent, but the male to female disparity is still depressing. Out of the 25 potential new members of the Actor's Branch only seven are women. And, no, there isn't really an acceptable way for the Academy to spin that sad fact. Additionally, It's important to realize the 322 people noted in the release have only been invited to join Hollywood's most exclusive club.

In honor of MTV's much-anticipated rebroadcast of "The Hills" finale with a previously-unseen alternate ending this Friday, we thought we'd acknowledge the many truths we gleaned from the series. Three years later, the following wisdom from Lauren, Audrina and even Justin Bobby still sticks with us.
It's important to be in touch with your emotions.
Be firm when you need to be.
Loyalty is an underrated virtue.
Don't take the blame for an offense you didn't commit.
People can't always be trusted.
Don't be afraid to move on.
Friendship is a two-way street.
Patience is key.
When friendship is lost, you can still count on yourself.
Always see the good in people.
Sometimes you need to be blunt and call it like it is.

Serial killer series The Following continues to let its women characters down. Here's Ron's review of Guilt...
This review contains spoilers.
1.10 Guilt
The Following has a problem named Natalie Zea. Or rather, the writing staff has a problem writing for women. Despite the quality of the actress and her chemistry with Kevin Bacon, Claire makes the absolutely worst decisions possible pretty much every time she gets a chance to make a decision. This is not a problem unique to The Following, since The Walking Dead has had both Andrea and Lori screwing up left and right for the better part of three seasons (Andrea is particularly bad). If forced to categorize Claire on the Andrea Scale of Stupid, which I am inventing just for this paragraph, she's definitely hovering close to Full Andrea, just with a better actress.

The Following, Season 1, Episode 9: “Love Hurts”
Written by Adam Armus & Kay Foster
Directed by Marcos Siega & Adam Davidson
Airs Mondays at 9pm (Et) on Fox
“Love Hurts” acts as a kind of sequel to The Following‘s most campy episode, “Mad Love,” the themes of both being revenge, self-sacrifice, being punished for love, and silly serial killin’ girls who be crazy. The first time around, it was the best recipe the show had cooked up, finally giving voice and movement to the show’s ridiculous conceits (fear the killer magnet!). This time around, though, by employing practically the same plot as its predecessor, we end up with shock value déjà vu. Worse still is the distinct feeling that the entire second half of this season is just going to repeat the first half, ever since the farmhouse climax-that-wasn’t.
For starters, sweet, spear gun-wielding Amanda is an exact replica...

Is The Following making a point about random violence, or just enjoying it? Here's Ron's review of Love Hurts...
This review contains spoilers.
1.9 Love Hurts
There's a certain kind of casual violence that has infected The Following that I'm not sure about. In certain situations, like tonight's harpoon gun incident or when Ryan randomly guns down Joe's cultists, it's borderline funny. For instance, tonight Ryan shot Louise - she's the blonde woman who gutted a random security guard a few episodes ago - in mid sentence without even blinking. I'd say that's a spoiler, but nobody really cares about Louise and she's basically another random cultie there to take a bullet for Joe. In other circumstances, the random violence is kind of disturbing, such as when one of many women named Claire Matthews dies via defenestration or when random helpful strangers are gutted.
That's this week's scheme du jour.

In a show about a murderous former English teacher played by James Purefoy and starring Kevin Bacon, it was the relationship between fake gay cultists Paul (Adan Canto) and Jacob (Nico Tortorella) that lit up the Following-themed corners of the Internet. That was, until last night.
[Spoiler Alert: Don’T Keep Reading If You Haven’T Watched The Lastest Episode]
In “Love Hurts,” we saw the latter smother the former, gently, with a pillow — because Paul was dying anyway; because Jacob had never killed anyone; and because Paul wanted his life to “mean something.” (Awww.)
EW talked with Canto about his character’s emotionally twisted end and his just-plain-emotional arc on the series.

The Following Episode 109
“Love Hurts”
Written By: Adam Armus and Kay Foster
Directed By: Marcos Siega and Adam Davidson
Original Airdate: 18 March 2013
In This Episode...
Joe invites his followers to finish “our” story and wants to know what inspires them. First up is Amanda, a woman in her early thirties who reacts to Joe like a teenager at Justin Bieber concert. Her first kill takes place at a diner in Union Hill, Pennsylvania. Two women are having lunch at a diner. One of them gets up to go to the bathroom, and Amanda takes her place at the table, startling the blonde. She needs a favor - she wants the stranger to tell Ryan Hardy that love hurts. The second woman gets back from the bathroom and slides in next to her friend. She is scarcely there for a few seconds before Amanda shoots her, under the table, with a spear gun.

A crazy woman writing her own chapter of Joe Carroll's murderous story, several senseless murders, and one love affair gone horribly awry: Just another Monday night with "The Following." As this show goes on I'm increasingly convinced that that 16-episode season is just way too long for a show that is running on some of the same plot devices in order to maintain suspense. The primary tension in "Love Hurts" is the love triangle introduced in the premise: Ryan and Joe both love the same woman, Claire Matthews. The manifestation of the triangle is a bit different -- there's always...

It's become pretty obvious that Joe Carroll has a lot of followers, some who love to party at the cult mansion and others who are desperate to add their chapter to his twisted story of death.
This week, Amanda joined the ranks of the less-than-developed followers, serving as something of a Terminator in hunting down any women with the name Claire Matthews. It was an obvious effort to hurt Ryan because of his own love for Claire, as much as it was to lure the real Claire out of hiding.
The ploy itself was intriguing in that it was a unique way to cause more chaos, but Amanda felt like such a stock crazy bad guy that anyone could have fulfilled her role. Although, I have to admit, I'm pretty surprised no one was able to stop the skinny white girl at any point besides Ryan's final standoff.

[Warning: Do not proceed if you haven't watched Monday's episode, "Love Hurts." Major spoilers ahead.] Another one bites the dust. Death is a regular occurrence on a heightened drama like Fox's The Following, and Monday's episode, "Love Hurts," was the final chapter for Paul (Adan Canto), a loyal follower of Joe Carroll (James Purefoy). His death at the hands of Jacob (Nico Tortorella) was dramatic, disturbing and fraught with emotion. The moment came when a weakened Paul sacrificed himself for Jacob, who then smothered him with a pillow -- marking his first official kill. Photos: Fox's 2012-13 Season: 'The Following,

The title of this week’s episode of The Following is “Love Hurts;” as the hour progresses, the emotion also impales, garrotes and smothers with a pillow.
Elsewhere, Natalie Zea’s absence is so marked that it takes three Claire Matthews to replace her (you’ll understand later), the series introduces my favorite follower so far and there’s a major death. Let’s review the big, bloody developments that take place in the installment.

After weeks of hype, the mysterious Roderick finally showed up on The Following last week, helping Joe Carroll with his master plan.
The character, played by Warren Kole, quickly showed the length of his devotion by leading the charge in torturing Agent Weston, as well as revealing that he likes his sex, in a word, rough.
Just how devoted is Roderick to Joe? Does he have his own agenda? Is there jealousy with Emma now that she’s slept with Joe? Kole jumped on the phone with me last week to tease tonight’s all-new episode...
TV Fanatic: We found out last week that Joe took the blame for some murders that Roderick did and that is part of their relationship. Does that come up again in the show or is that just really to give us some back story?

Diamonds are forever. And so are tattoos. Giant ones. Across your entire face. So it's a good thing a young woman named Lesya is really, really sure she wants to spend the rest of her life with tattoo artist Ruslan Toumaniantz after getting to know each other briefly in a chat room, then hanging out in person for less than 24-hours.
The beautiful young Lesya is so smitten she allowed Ruslan to tattoo his name in Gothic letters across her entire face the day they met and decided to marry. This seems like a very smart decision, because what if Lesya lost her engagement ring? Then passersby would not know she belongs completely to Ruslan. Forever. And ever, and ever.
Lesya, a former art student, has already taken Toumanaintz' name on Facebook, and is fielding supportive comments on the tattoo photos. A friend tells the Daily Mail, "Sometimes the best...

Love Hurts: Winterbottom’s Biopic a By-the-Numbers Look at London’s Infamous King of Soho
Michael Winterbottom continues on with his whirlwind filmography, unleashing one of his most standard projects in years, The Look of Love, a biopic on the rise of Paul Raymond, coined the King of Soho for his elevation of adult entertainment out of the gutter and into the public imagination. A trailblazer in Britain’s history as far as censorship and heterosexual nudity goes, there’s no doubt that Raymond is indeed a prolific figure and his personal life has just enough tragedy to make for a doable life and times treatment. However, once we’re given a few telling details about Raymond, his profession, and the three most important women in his personal life, it’s not hard to predict how Raymond and his ladies all eventually end up.

"Lost Girl" was looking pretty bleak in season 2.
The Garuda was on the verge of destroying faedom until succubus Bo (Anna Silk) and her friends -- Dyson (Kris Holden-Ried), Kenzi (Ksenia Solo), Lauren (Zoie Palmer), Trick (Richard Howland) and Hale (K.C. Collins) -- managed to vanquish their ancient adversary. Victory came with a high price tag, though. Love was lost. Lives were sacrificed. Secrets were revealed and Bo embraced her dark side. In the aftermath, surely things have calmed down enough for the gang to pick up the pieces and catch their breath, right? Not exactly.
When the third season of "Lost Girl" kicks off on January 6 (on Showcase in Canada; Jan. 14 on SyFy in the Us), there will be a mysterious new fae named Tamsin ("Birds of Prey"'s Rachel Skarsten) in town. An imminent threat is also looming and Bo has been acting kind of strange lately...

Washington, Feb 5: The singers who croon "Love Hurts" are right - but it is not only the jilted partners and unrequited romantics who are at risk but also innocent third parties, researchers say.
People who are primed to think about how madly in love they are with a partner put down other appealing members of their own sex, and are even more aggressive toward them, compared with people who are instead encouraged to ponder sex with a significant other, according to new research.
"Love, arguably the most positive of all human emotions, also comes with a dark side," study researcher Jon Maner, a psychologist at Florida State University, said.
In a trio of studies involving 130 people in long-term relationships, Maner.

What a strange episode of The Good Wife. I got brain whiplash from trying to connect the random stories. Yet, somehow, it worked — and turned out to be one of the better eps of the season.

Kalinda is made of awesome — and we see her in action this week, even though she doesn't get a lot of screen time. Dana is still trying to play Kalinda to get information. But Kalinda is getting a little tired of Dana's game.
Give me a player with follow-through any time.
We also get a glimpse of how much Kalinda genuinely cares for Alicia, when she overhears that Grace is missing. Kalinda jumps into action, getting a trace on Grace's phone and tracking her down.
On a hunch, she finds Grace at church being baptized. She tells Grace not to let Alicia know who found her, but I'm hoping this is the first step toward reconciliation.
