Jenna Dewan-Tatum looked amazing at the premiere of "American Horror Story: Asylum" in Los Angeles, Calif., last night (Oct. 13).

The actress, 31, walked the red carpet at Paramount Studios in a white Reem Acra dress with an embellished see-through side that perfectly accentuated her incredible figure. Mrs. Channing Tatum is the new star of FX's creepy series, which was created by "Glee's" Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk.

Speaking of "Glee," the show's stars (and real-life lovebirds), Lea Michele and Cory Monteith, walked the carpet together, both in black ensembles. Michele wore an Old Hollywood-esque Armani gown, while her man looked dapper in a suit.

“So happy for my dear friends @MrRPMurphy and @BFalchuk! And my girl @jennaldewan is SO amazing in the first episode!" Michele tweeted last night, adding, "Love you Jenna!”

Anyone worrying that 'Homeland' set too high a bar for its first series can stop fretting after Series 2 Episode 2.

After last week's premiere episode put Carrie back in the action in Beirut, the intelligence proffered by her old city contact about a meeting with Abu Nazir kick-started a chain of events in Lebanon and Washington, in which both Carrie and Brody would be intimately involved.

Carrie was back in Beirut, and back at work

For Carrie, any pretence that she didn't belong in the field was long gone, as she followed her nose, across Beirut rooftops and into danger for herself and colleagues, in her determination to get to Nazir.

Saul's dilemma was all too familiar from the first series - that his protegee Carrie always fell off message, caused all sorts of problems... and always got results - a loose cannon that somehow nevertheless found its target. How do you solve a problem like will o' the wisp Carrie, particularly when a final twist to the episode proved the wilful ex-agent could have been more right than even she realised about her old Nemesis Brody?

But it wasn't all plain sailing, as Carrie sometimes forgot to follow the instruction manual for espionage

Meanwhile, in Washington, Brody was invited ever further along the corridors of military intelligence, culminating in a seat inside the Situation Room, as events in Beirut were beamed back to DC. We watched Brody watching, wide-eyed, as the assassination of his ideological soulmate, visible on the screen, was plotted by the men around him.

...and Brody forgot to read the small print on the Official Secrets Act

Brody's actions - from within the very room - were audacious in the extreme. The claustrophobia, the split-second timing, the writers' very audacity, all made these few seconds as tense as anything 'Homeland' has yet provided, and it's only the second episode, for heaven's sake.

Former "Real Housewives of New York City" star Jill Zarin returned to Bravo Monday night, delivering staggering ratings in a 30-minute one-on-one interview. More than 1.3 million viewers tuned in to see Zarin discuss why she was fired and her feelings on whether the network favored certain cast members over others.

“How do they feel, Simon and Alex? After the show it's very hard to get a regular job,” Zarin said. “Fame doesn't go away so fast, but once you are fired you lose your publicist and income. I would love to know if they [Bravo] think they have an obligation.”

After the interview was taped, Bravo executive and "What What Happens Live" host Andy Cohen tweeted that he goes to great lengths to treat the "Housewives" equally, something Jill says is not true.

“Andy looked in shock when I accused him of picking sides, he looked perplexed. How do you think we all felt when he had Skinnygirl [a collection of drinks produced by Bethenny Frankel] behind him for two years? He didn't put Ramona's or Teresa drinks behind him. It's not me saying it; we all thought it,” Zarin said.

The replacement cast of "The Real Housewives of New York City" have not produced anywhere near the ratings the previous cast brought in, leaving Jill to argue the network “should bring back me, Alex and Kelly and fire Carole [Radziwill] and Heather [Thompson]. “Whoever was responsible for this disaster, should be fired," she said, adding, "I feel vindicated.”

BravoRatings.com says "RHNYC" ratings have declined 21 percent this season from last and are down 25 percent in the 18-49 demographic. Nevertheless, a Bravo insider says, “Jill will not be returning to the show.”

Ashton Kutcher is the highest-paid actor on TV, according to Forbes. The magazine reports the "Two and a Half Men" star took in about $24 million between May 2011 and May 2012.

Forbes factored in Kutcher's investments, film salaries and his reported $700,000 an episode salary for "Two and a Half Men." His co-star, recent Emmy winner Jon Cryer, also made the list. According to Forbes, Cryer making about $13 million a year.

Kutcher replaces last year's top earner in more ways than one. Charlie Sheen previously topped Forbes' list, but is nowhere to be seen this year after leaving "Two and a Half Men." Kutcher was brought in to take his place on the CBS sitcom. More of the networks' actors -- Mark Harmon, Jason Segel and the stars of "The Big Bang Theory" -- also made the list.

In their calculations of the highest-paid actors on TV, Forbes included other projects, including records and various deals. The list, which can be seen in the gallery below, will sure look different next year when Alec Baldwin's "30 Rock" ends and Hugh Laurie's "House" work is no longer a factor.

Just when you thought Donald Trump was going to weigh in on last night's presidential debate ... you were wrong.

Actually, Trump is much more interested in giving you his opinion on Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's recent reconciliation. (Who knew he was a Twihard?)

The "Twilight" lovebirds were seen out and about together this past week, first grabbing dinner at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles, Calif., on Oct. 13, then heading out for drinks at Ye Rustic Inn in Los Feliz on Oct. 14 and then enjoying lunch with friends at Casita del Campo in Silverlake.

But The Donald is NOT a fan. The 66-year-old shared his two cents on Twitter, writing, "Robert Pattinson should not take back Kristen Stewart."

Why? Well, because she's a cheater.

"She cheated on him like a dog & will do it again -- just watch," Trump added of Stewart's affair with her "Snow White and the Huntsman" director, 41-year-old Rupert Sanders. "He can do much better!"

Apparently, Trump is good at dissecting relationships, or at least his followers think so. "@realDonaldTrump Any thoughts on Rihanna and Chris Brown?" one follower tweeted.

Oh, we'd love to hear that one!

"Philly Justice," an elaborate inside joke amongst the stars of NBC's "Parks And Recreation," may be close to actually becoming a reality ... in the form of a Funny or Die video.

The running gag apparently began sometime during the filming of "Parks & Rec" Season 4 when somebody took a serious-looking picture of Amy Poehler, Adam Scott, Rashida Jones, Kathryn Hahn and Paul Rudd standing on courthouse steps that looked like it should be the poster of a cheesy legal procedural. Since then, as Poehler and "Parks" executive producer Mike Schur explained in the Paley Center video above, the show-that-never-was has taken on a life of its own, as the cast created a fictional backstory that "Philly Justice" was a pilot they shot together in 2003.

Now, according to a tweet from Dylan McDermott (who in Poehler's elaborate "Philly Justice" mythology was cast as a fill-in for Paul Rudd's fill-in Dermot Mulroney) the show will actually see the light of day on Funny or Die.

Funny or Die confirmed to HuffPost TV that the project is actually happening. If it's anywhere close to being as weirdly hilarious as Scott and Rudd's recent "Simon & Simon" mockumentary remake, it should be awesome.

"American Horror Story: Asylum" has tapped Season 1 star Dylan McDermott for a guest role. According to series co-creator Ryan Murphy, McDermott will appear in Season 2 of his FX horror anthology series.

McDermott starred alongside Connie Britton, Taissa Farmiga, Jessica Lange and Evan Peters in the first season of "American Horror Story." Season 2, "Asylum," features Lange and Peters as all-new characters. Set in the 1960s, the series takes place in an insanse asylum run by Lange's character Sister Jude.

HuffPost TV's Maureen Ryan praised the new season. Click here to read her review and check out Jaimie Etkin and Maggie Furlong's reasons to be excited for "American Horror Story: Asylum."

When Doug Hutchison married his teen bride, Courtney Stodden, he was called many names, including "pervert" and "child molester," and although Hutchison says "sticks and stones may break his bones," he warns that the term "child molester" needs to be taken very seriously.

“The thing is, it's interesting that anyone would call me a child molester because what I think that does is belittles true child molesters, the ones out there that are really molesting children. We can't do that,” says Doug, 52. “My and Courtney's marriage is legal, it's moral and its within the law. I'm not a child molester, so anyone who says that I'm not going to take it to heart. I only care about what my loved ones think about me and no one else.”

The couple insists they live a very "normal" life together, and have found happiness with their dogs and watching old TV reruns together.

“We wake up in each others' arms in the morning and start our day together. We take care of our puppies. We feed the puppies and let them out,” Doug said. “Courtney gets on the computer to tweet and I take care of business on the computer. Then we come together during segments of the day, and then in the evening we have dinner and watch ‘I Love Lucy' episodes. Within our house, we are extremely ‘normal.'”

Courtney and Doug can be seen Wednesday night on VH1's "Couple Therapy."

Gary and Valene Ewing are returning to Southfork. According to TV Guide, Season 2 of "Dallas" will play host to a "Knots Landing" reunion, when Ted Shackelford and Joan Van Ark guest star on TNT's continuation of the classic series.

They'll reprise their roles for the first time since "Knots Landing" ended in 1993. They last visited "Dallas" for the show's original series finale in 1991, but had been absent from the show since the '80s prior to that episode. TV Guide reports that the show courted the duo last season for cameo appearances, but Shackelford was allegedly holding out for a bigger arc. Apparently, that patience paid off; the pair are currently set for a three-episode storyline.

They join previously announced stars Judith Light and Emma Bell, who will also make appearances in Season 2.

"Dallas" returns with a two-hour season premiere on January 28, 2013 at 9 p.m. ET on TNT.

If you aren't yet smitten with Lennon and Maisy Stella -- the real-life sisters who play Connie Britton's daughters on ABC's "Nashville" (Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET) -- you're about to be.

The 13-year-old and 8-year-old Canadians who now live in Nashville with their musical parents (Brad and Marylynne a.k.a. The Stellas) shot to fame this summer when they posted their rendition of Robyn's "Call Your Girlfriend" on YouTube.

They went on to appear on "Good Morning America," Michael Kors invited them to his show at New York Fashion Week (leading them to take on Corey Hart's "Sunglasses At Night") and legendary musicians continue to tweet their love for the Stella sisters.

Now, they're filming episodes of "Nashville," recording music with Oscar-winning producer T-Bone Burnett and still trying to get their homework done.

Below, Lennon and Maisy talk about what it's like having Connie Britton as their TV mom, why Lennon's leaving her signature glasses behind, not being allowed to watch "Nashville" in full, how their friends (and their non-friends) reacted to their fame, being a rare set of siblings that gets along and much more.

Congratulations on your roles on "Nashville." What did you think when you saw yourself on screen for the first time?
Lennon: Oh, it was crazy!
Maisy: It was awesome. It was really weird seeing us being different characters.

Had you both wanted to act as well as sing?
Lennon: Acting has always been Maisy's thing. I mean, I love acting so much, but I never really thought I could actually act, you know? [Laughs.] Singing's been mostly my thing, but I love acting.
Maisy: When I auditioned, I was so happy. Even if I didn't get the part, just to audition was awesome. I always loved acting. We would always make these home videos of me and Lennon and my cousins when we go back to Canada. We'd just make these really funny videos. And I was in a few music videos and commercials, but nothing as big as a TV show.

Were you nervous your first time on set?
Maisy: Yes, we were very nervous.
Lennon: I was freaking out.

Did the cast do anything special to welcome you?
Lennon: They were all welcoming. Everyone is so sweet -- the sweetest people you'll ever meet. So that was enough of a welcome.

Are you happy to have Connie Britton as your TV mom?
Lennon: Oh my god. She's one of the sweetest people I know.
Maisy: She's like the best TV mom ever. She is so sweet. She gives off such a good vibe.
Lennon and Maisy (in unison): She is so sweet. [Both laugh.]

Everyone is excited to hear you guys sing in Episode 3. Is the song you sing an original or a cover?
Lennon: It's a cover. It's of Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere) on the show ... there's a bit of conflict there between our mom and Juliette Barnes.

How does your mom feel about you singing her song at the talent show then?
Lennon: Oh, she's not too happy. There's a lot of conflict between those two characters so it's a little intense. [Laughs.]

Are they any other episodes you two will sing in?
Maisy: Yeah! We're going to be singing in lots of episodes. Some of them are just like us singing in the back seat, but ...
Lennon: Like in the pilot. We've been recording quite a few songs with T-Bone.

Have you performed with any of the other actors on "Nashville"?
Lennon: No. Not yet.

There's a lot of drama on "Nashville."
Lennon and Maisy (in unison): Yeah!

How much do you guys know about what's going on on the show? Do you have to close your eyes and cover your ears at some points while watching?
Lennon: [Laughs.] Yes!
Maisy: I do. I'm not allowed to watch lots of it because it is not very appropriate for an 8-year-old kid. Lots of the kids in my class are like, "I can't wait to watch you on television!" And I'm like, "If your parents let you, yeah, that would be fine." [Laughs.] It's not very appropriate.

What about the issues going on with your TV parents. Will Maddie and Daphne find out about that?
Lennon: No. We don't know yet.

What's your favorite thing about being on "Nashville"?
Maisy: Probably all of the people, who are so sweet and welcoming.
Lennon: Yeah, we got to meet all those wonderful people.
Maisy: And acting. Acting is really fun.
Lennon: I really like the wardrobe and the make-up. Playing dress up is so much fun.
Maisy: Oh yeah! It feels so good when they do your make-up and you feel like you're going to sleep.

Now that you guys are back at school, is it hard to do the show and get your schoolwork done?
Lennon: Yeah. We have a tutor on the set so she teaches us, but it's still really hard to keep up.
Maisy: We're doing good in school, but it's really hard.
Lennon: It's definitely a lot of work.
Maisy: We're really trying though.

You became superstars over the summer so what was it like for you two going back to school this year?
Maisy: It was weird.
Lennon: It was so weird.
Maisy: All of our friends were like, "I think I saw you on YouTube."
Lennon: I've had a few people that have been like, "Now that you're famous, we're gonna be best friends." I was like, "Uh, no." [Laughs.]
Maisy: People have done that to us, like, someone in my class that was really mean was like, "Oh, OK. You're famous now? Let's be best buddies forever." I'm like, "OK. No."

You gotta weed those people out.
Maisy: Yeah, we do. We don't talk to them. [Laughs.]

Did your close friends know beforehand that you'd be posting videos on YouTube?
Lennon: Well, we posted the videos right after we got out of school, only a few days after. Then it was summer break. I called a few of my friends and they were super happy, but we hadn't told people much because we hadn't gone back to school.
Maisy: All of our friends are being super supportive though.

So many huge musicians have reached out to you and tweeted at you. Who made you most excited that contacted you?
Lennon: Julian Lennon was a big one for me. I was like, "Oh my gosh!" That's the closest to John Lennon I'll ever get. I mean, I love him! I was so excited. That was probably my ultimate.

How do you guys pick the songs you do covers of?
Maisy: Basically, we spend some time looking at songs. We just go on YouTube and see all these covers.
Lennon: What we do for when we're picking our songs is we look for how much we change it. Because that's one of the most fun things about getting to cover a song is making it your own. So it really depends on how much we can change it or if we'd be singing it like the original artist -- that's how we decide if we want to do it.

Do you come up with the arrangements yourselves of do your mom and dad help you?
Lennon: Me and Maisy and my mom really. My dad does the guitar, but my mom helps us mostly with the vocals.

We can tell from your videos that you guys have great style. Are you into fashion, too?
Lennon and Maisy (in unison): Yes!
Lennon: I just like things that are different, things people don't have. So we really shop at Goodwill. Goodwill is our main store beucase you can find stuff no one else has.

Lennon, your glasses have become a signature look.
Lennon: [Laughs.] I know! I got new ones. I'm getting them because I'm like, "These are turning into Maddie." [Laughs.] These are ones from Goodwill and we're gonna pick up my lenses soon.

How long did it take you to learn Erato's cup routine for "Call Your Girlfriend"?
Maisy: It took us maybe a day.
Lennon: Two days, probably.

Had you worked with a unique instrument like that before?
Lennon: Well, actually, in fourth grade, I made a washtub bass and I was pretty happy about that, but that's all. [Laughs.]
Maisy: She took a tub and a big stick of wood. That was pretty impressive! I was like, "You made that!?" [Laughs.]
Lennon: My mom did help me with part of it. [Laughs.]

What instruments do you each play?
Lennon: I play guitar. I play piano, but I don't know what I'm doing exactly, but I can play it. I can play drums a little bit, ukulele, I sing; really whatever I put my mind to, I can try my best to learn it.
Maisy: I play piano. I play ukulele obviously. We know a little bit of fiddle, not a lot.
Lennon: Not really.
Maisy: Yeah, not really.
Lennon: Maisy does drums, too.
Maisy: Yeah! I do drums.

Who is the artist you'd like to record with most?
Lennon: Oh gosh ...
Maisy: For sure for me, I am absolutely Neon Trees' No. 1 fan. I love them to bits. So definitely them.
Lennon: I would say Swell Season. I love them so so much. I love their music and the way they sing. So I think that would be really fun to record with them.

You two seem to get along so well and a lot of siblings can't say that.
Lennon: Yeah, we get along. We never actually fight. We get in arguments over silly things, but we get along for the most part.
Maisy: Yeah, everyone's like, "Do you like your big sister?" I'm like, "Yes. Don't you guys?" And they're like, "Nooo." [Laughs.] Lennon is such a great big sister. She's so supportive and she's really great.

Watch Lennon and Maisy as Maddie and Daphne Conrad on "Nashville," Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET on ABC. You can also watch them live in concert on Oct. 23 on StageIt.com at 9 p.m. ET.

Why bother?

Why bother following Brad as he inches his way closer to true love (or being bludgeoned by a stalker if he chooses Whitney), when we know in our heart of hearts that there is no frikkin' way it will last. In the last two weeks alone, we've discovered that Courtney (villainess extraordinare who put the "whore" in horrible on Season 16 of "The Bachelor") has not only broken up with former Bachelor Ben Flajnik, but is now dating Bachelorette Emily Maynard's sloppy seconds, Arie Luyendyk. And let's not forget that Emily herself has ended her engagement with her final pick, Jef Holm, after they were together for what, five minutes?

So, based on the above, I'm thinking there is little to no chance that Brad and his woman of choice will last beyond New Year's Eve. If that. But yet, we watch.

Episode 3 certainly opened my eyes to many things, one of which was the unfortunate sight of Bianka's bare dimpled ass cheeks. Did anyone else find it positively unsanitary?

Tyler, in what I have come to determine is the voice of the nicest guy ever in the world, slowly reveals there's a six-on-one, a five-on-one, and a one-on-one date and that two people will be sent home. I gotta hand it to Tyler. The poor guy is trying so hard to do the best job possible with those six lines a week that he's given.

As soon as I heard Kara got the first one-on-one, I was excited, but I seemed like the only one. Ana's pissed because for once Brad isn't rolling out the red carpet for her, and Whitney flat out says she "hates this girl." It's possible though, that Whitney may have just been in a foul mood because her eyebrows spontaneously changed colours. I'd be pissed too.

To prepare for her date, Kara vigorously washes her hands (or scrubs up for surgery -- not sure) with the strategically placed Softsoap, which later makes an appearance as Chantelle and Britney decide to have a bubble bath together. I have to ask: am I the only woman who doesn't bathe with my friends? In fact, am I the only woman who doesn't use my bath unless my contractions are about seven minutes apart? A quick tie of her shirt to prep for her denim-on-denim ensemble and off she goes to enjoy her two-on-two with Brad, Farmer Brownie and his wife at their cattle ranch in Lundbreck, Alberta. Aren't we supposed to be staying away from beef these days?

There's definitely something intriguing about Kara, so it was kind of amusing that when finally alone with her in a helicopter, surveying the beautiful Albertan rockies, Brad can think of nothing but if she'd be OK without her Ritalin. By the end of the date, as they cozied up surrounded by their perfectly contrived rustic-chic setting, it's clear that watching her wrangle cattle is all Brad needs to wrangle himself a stiffie. Maybe that's what finally relaxed him, or maybe it's the "Brokeback" rancher who stayed right by his side, easing him into the perfect trot.

In the meantime, back at the house, Tia, clearly well into her second trimester based on her dress, announces the group date featuring herself, Bianka, Brittany, Gabrielle and Ana. The girls are excited to go anywhere without Whitney, but you wanna know what I'm not excited about? A) seeing Brad sporting side boob in a yellow tank top and B) staring at Ana in a bikini. Seriously? That's her body? Pardon me while I go eat my feelings.

When the girls find out they'll be serving the community of the Riviera Nayarit I could have sworn I heard Gabi all like 'um ... I don't do selfless. So they throw some balls around with kids for the obligatory reveal that Brad's a good person at heart and will make a good dad -- every season has at least one episode -- and by the time they get to their pool party back at the hotel and Brad removes his shirt to a chorus of embarrassing oohs and aahs (as he sucks it in so hard that his belly button hits his spine), he has definitely formed some strong opinions about the girls. There's Gabi's apparent sense of humour (which I'm still waiting to observe), there's Ana's ... well ... body (do you even have rolls when you sit, biatch?) and there's Bianka's intrigue as she reveals her connection to Kris Humphries while acknowledging to Brad that he's gonna have to work for it if he wants a piece of her. Bianka's antics, bare ass and all, were clearly enough to pique his interest because she receives his invitation for a special one-on-one date the next day.

I think Bianka summed up her excitement that morning by proclaiming "I love boat" as they boarded their yacht and set sail for the day. I'd love to think that I'd be carefree and thrilled at the prospect of jumping off a yacht after sipping on champagne like I was living in a rap video, but my fear of sharks pretty much guarantees that I'd be the lame ass who's like, "No you go ahead, I'll watch," as I suffer a third-degree sunburn and pass out from dehydration. Bianka seems to get it right, though (if you don't count another cellulite-revealing bikini bottom), and by the end of the date -- shocker -- she's falling for him.

For the last date of the week, Nicole, Whitney, Laura B. (who's a little bit more country and a little less rock n' roll than I initially thought), Sophie, Chantelle and Michelle B. (didn't she get kicked off last week?) get to try their hand at lumberjacking, if that's a verb. Between that and hearing Sophie say "Let's get ready to rumble" in a French-Canadian accent, this is where I started to get nervous that we're entering into dangerous Canadian cliché territory. Let's be honest, once we go there, there's no turning back, eh?

I don't know what was more challenging: watching the girls scale poles, joust and saw lumber, or shielding my eyes from the unfortunate camel toes, muffin tops and back rolls accentuated by the ensembles the girls all wore. I don't even think any of them stood a chance, to be honest. Even Whitney, who gets less attractive every time she's on the screen wasn't pulling any part of that outfit off.

Somehow, Whitney manages to make the date all about her. It's quite a talent, really, convincing us that she's "assembled" the strongest team and that Brad purposely puts her on the competition dates because he knows she'll win and he'll get to spend more time with her. Sure honey, whatever helps you sleep at night.

While I'm sure some of the girls are more used to riding a pole than climbing one, they seem to pull through with the challenges and miraculously, the blue team, consisting of Sophie, Chantelle and Laura score the rest of the afternoon with Brad. They head off to the beautiful Sooke Harbour House and immediately dissolve into schoolgirl screams as country "star" Dean Brody is crooning about finding love in a hayfield or something like that. Am I the only one that hasn't quite hit that channel on my satellite radio? Perhaps if I ventured beyond Hits1 and Playboy Radio (don't judge me, I love Tiffany Granath) I'd know who he is...

And before you know it, there's two-steppin' and partners swingin' every which way to Dean Brody's tribute to "Canadian Girls" and it gives Chantelle the boost she needs to reveal to Brad that no pucks have scored in her net thus far. Brad handles her virgin confession like a true gentleman, actually finding it adorable and Chantelle practically dissolves into a state of blissful ecstasy from his reaction.

Finally, we're back at the mansion, and Whitney is sporting the same white-and-navy cropped blazer she's been wearing every day and the cocktail party prep ensues. As the evening begins, Tyler breaks the news that Brad (in a weird voiceover editing snafu) will be sending home not two, but four of the girls.

Within moments, roses are extended to Chantelle (which is apparently hilarious), Gabrielle, Brittany, Ana, Bianka, Laura B, Kara and Whitney and we bid farewell to Sophie, Michelle, Tia and Nicole (poor girl left in such a hurry I think she forgot her skirt!).

Apparently four more get cut next week -- damn, this kid means business! My call is that Bianka and Kara are the final two, with a disgruntled Whitney coming in a close third. Anyone else out there wanna place a bet?

Here are more of my "Bachelor"-related recaps!

Note: Do not read on if you have not seen Season 8, Episode 3 of The CW's "Supernatural," entitled "Heartache."

Episode three of "Supernatural" Season 8 (which was actually filmed first this year to give director Jensen Ackles time to prepare) was basically a standard "Monster of the Week" installment, but like many of the show's best standalone entries, it also helped contextualize the brothers' relationship to help the audience understand what's motivating them at this point in the season.

Up until this week's episode, Dean had seemingly convinced himself that Sam would eventually reacclimatize to the life and rediscover his passion for hunting, just as Dean did in Purgatory, but "Heartache" saw Sam tell his older brother, in no uncertain terms, that he fully intended to quit the family business once they'd found Kevin and laid their Hell Gate quest to rest.

It's both refreshing and a little heartbreaking to see the brothers being so honest with each other, where once they would've obfuscated, sugar-coated or quipped their way out of a serious conversation. Sam's not coming across as particularly sympathetic, given Dean's recent ordeal, but since the Winchesters have both been to Hell and are still standing (and more or less intact), I guess there's no need to make concessions for each other's frayed mental states.

I'm admittedly missing the more overt care and concern for each other that we saw back in Season 2 and 3, but thinking back, the majority of the show's run has seen the brothers at odds or at least working with different priorities in pursuit of the same goal, regardless of how much they care about each other, so this return to the Season 1 dynamic of Sam wanting to go back to school and Dean being gung-ho about the hunt isn't particularly jarring.

At least "Heartache" offered us a reason -- albeit briefly -- for Sam's desire to quit: with Amelia, he truly had the chance to experience a normal life, and we saw the vet throwing him a birthday picnic and baking him a cake ... which, judging by Sam's reaction, was something he'd never experienced before. (This did seem to involve a little retroactive retconning, since I can't believe that none of Sam's college friends or Jessica wouldn't have celebrated his birthday while he was at Stanford, or that Dean, so diligent in making Sam's life easier in other ways when they were kids, wouldn't have stolen him a cake at some point in the past.) Regardless, Sam was clearly touched by Amelia's gesture, and Jared Padalecki did an excellent job of selling that moment with a subtly tearful glance away at the episode's end.

It's also clear that Ackles is gaining confidence as a director with every episode he helms ("Heartache" is the third), and he made a number of compelling choices in terms of framing, mood and lighting this week. It was almost impossible to distinguish his work from that of a veteran director's, and he kept the action flowing seamlessly throughout. This was especially impressive given that he had more screen time in this episode than in either of his previous directorial efforts, but if he was fatigued from pulling double-duty, it didn't show in his work in front of the camera or behind it.

It also gave him an opportunity to cast his father, Alan Ackles, as the belligerent detective who pointed them in the direction of the first murderer, Paul Hayes, and even in that brief scene, the palpable comfort and energy between the two made it a memorable appearance.

Though the plot was fairly straightforward (and shared some similarities with the scenarios from "Faith" and "Time Is on My Side"), writers Brad Buckner and Eugenie Ross-Leming delivered a solid script, nailing the brotherly banter and keeping things moving at a steady pace even if the episode's villain was somewhat bland. After some of the admittedly painful MOTW episodes that seemed tonally discordant in seasons 6 and 7, it was nice to have a simple, competently executed story that returned the focus to Sam and Dean, rather than placing too much emphasis on uninteresting baddies. Killer transplant organs have cropped up in a few horror movies and shows in the past, but I was still engaged by the episode.

I've said it already this season, but it's also worth reiterating how relieved I am that we've returned to Sam and Dean doing their own investigating. As much as I miss Bobby as a character and a reassuring presence in the boys' lives, I'm glad that there's a renewed emphasis on the Winchesters researching, hacking and flirting their way to the relevant information again, even if Apple has yet to invent an app for deciphering dead languages.

Kudos to the writers for involving Professor Morrison from "The Slice Girls" (although it's not that impressive that they remembered, since Ross-Leming and Buckner wrote that episode too), since it's an effortless way to add depth to the Winchesters' world and make their lives seem less claustrophobic. Any familiar names and faces are welcome, and even if I've mostly given up on ever seeing Missouri Mosely again, a little nostalgia goes a long way. Likewise, it was nice to hear the alias "Agent Sambora" again (last heard in "Shut Up, Dr. Phil," written by ... you guessed it!).

Overall, while the episode didn't pack the emotional punch of a mythology story, "Heartache" elevated itself above a throwaway filler episode by offering a glimpse into Sam and Dean's motivations this season. It's great to see Dean doing anything other than drinking himself into a stupor and actually enjoying his job, and it's enlightening to learn more about Sam's year spent with Amelia, even if I'm hoping for a little more justification in regards to him not looking for Dean and why Amelia is so markedly different from Jessica in future episodes.

What did you think of "Heartache"? Weigh in below!

"Supernatural" airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on The CW.

"Suburgatory" returned to the ABC lineup just as Tessa was returning to Chatswin from a summer living with her grandmother in New York. While there, she learned more about her absentee mother, hoping to find a connection between herself and her mom.

When she returned to Chaswin, he asked to borrow George's guitar after hearing a cassette tape of original music performed by her mother. All of this was difficult for George, who's actively avoided ever talking about Tessa's mother. But seeing how much this connection meant to his daughter, he relented.

Tessa had signed up for the talent show, but had lost her nerve. George showed up just in time, telling her that her mother often lost her nerve as well. So Tessa took to the stage and performed a song written by her mother; a song very familiar to fans of the show. It was the "Suburgatory" theme song, a sweet connection Zap2It called "a nice touch."

Look for Tessa to continue trying to connect with her mother, and suceeding. HuffPost TV reports that Malin Akerman has been cast in the role and will be making her appearance later this season.

Keep watching "Suburgatory" on Wednesdays at 9:30 pm. ET on ABC to see their mother-and-daughter reunion.

Mitchell and Cameron got to do a little role reversal this week when Cam started his new job as a music teacher on "Modern Family." After several years staying at home and taking care of Lily, Cam was a little out of his element on the job, and things didn't go as amazing as he'd hoped. Maybe he missed the memo about how jaded middle school kids have become. His "fun" approach to music created one of the most awkward moments of the episode.

Meanwhile, on the home front, Mitchell was struggling with virtually every aspect of taking care of Lily. One hilarious exchange between the two had them both pretending that everything was fine. Cam was sitting alone at lunch, being ostracized by the other teachers, while Mitch was losing Lily at the grocery store. Even through the phone, Cam knew exactly what was happening, where Lily had gone (the dairy case), and how to get her out.

At the end of the episode, the two came together and tried to lie to one another about how great their days had been. The house was immaculate, and dinner smelled delicious. What Cam didn't see was Claire skulking around in the background trying to sneak out of the house.

But after Cam came clean about his awful day and Mitch tried not to, Claire did it for him. The honesty in their failure only brought the two together as they encouraged one another, confident that they would both figure this out and find ways to excel in their new roles.

At the heart of it all is love, always and every Wednesday on "Modern Family" at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.

Ed Port was 39 at the time of filming for "My Giant Face Tumor" on TLC. Now 42, he still suffers from Type 2 Neurofibromatosis, a disease which can lead to uncontrollable tumor growths, and for which there is no cure. For Port, the affliction struck the left side of his face. His mother first noticed it when he was an infant still, and the problem has only grown worse as the years have gone by.

Port has had several surgeries, but nothing has been able to stop the growth. He struggled not only with the damage the tumor is doing to his face, but also with people in his life. As a child, he was teased by the other children. Now, as an adult he said that children look at him like he's a monster.

At work, Port found the support he needed. His coworkers helped him raise $10,000 -- and the company matched it -- toward a potentially life-changing surgery. This surgery hoped to remove the tumor at the root and begin the process of putting Port's face back together.

By the end of the episode, Port looked and felt like a new man, with the support of his friends and coworkers by his side.

There's an irony to someone getting removed by medical from "Survivor: Philippines." After all, the twist of this season was that three former contestants who'd been medically evacuated on their seasons were given a second chance, and now the show has claimed another victim. In this case, though, it was the contestant's call as medical didn't see a life-threatening need to remove her.

It all went down shortly after the first reward challenge of the season. With Matsing decimated, the tribe was dismantled completely at this challenge. Malcolm -- who'd found the immunity idol, with Denise's help -- found himself the newest member of Tandang, while Denise joined Kalabaw.

Finding that immunity idol must have given Malcolm some fortune that traveled with him. His tribe won both challenges this week. That means that Tandang has still never lost, while poor Denise has still never felt the feeling of victory.

Before the immunity challenge, though, it was her tribemate Dana who crashed. She became so ill that medical was called and she pulled herself from the game. Suddenly, they were down one person. After losing the immunity challenge, they needed to cut another. With the all-girl alliance dashed thanks to Dana's removal from the game, the guys were able to lure Denise onto their alliance. With that, it was down to Dawson or Katie.

Katie screwed up the start of the challenge while Dawson knew Jeff Kent's baseball past. Jeff suspected that she did, and it was Dawson who saw her time to come to an end. She could have exposed him on her way out, but instead she gave Jeff Probst some loving in the form of a kiss and a hug.

The competition continues on "Survivor: Philippines," Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.

After an excruciatingly long break (nearly 10 months), "American Horror Story" has officially returned with a brand spankin' new season, aptly titled "Asylum." The change in location finds us at the Briarcliff Mental Institution for the criminally insane, run by Sister Jude (Jessica Lange) and Dr. Arthur Arden (James Cromwell), the latter of who appears to be the big bad this season besides Bloody Face. And trust me, "Bloody Face" is a kind name to describe that mug.

The episode opened in present day, following lovers Leo and Teresa (Adam Levine and Jenna Dewan, respectively) as they wonder into the now rundown and presumably abandoned Briarcliff. Teresa is an avid paranormal/hauntings enthusiast and Leo just goes along with her so that they can do it in every single haunted place they visit. I have a strong feeling that playing Leo was not that far of a stretch for Adam Levine, but he did OK nonetheless.

Once they get down to business in one of the examination rooms, they hear a bang, and of course Teresa wants to go check it out. They wind up at this locked door and the only way they can see in is through a slot in the door that was used for food. After being promised a blow job, Leo opens up a night vision app on Teresa's iPhone (does that actually exist? Is it expensive? Asking for a friend. He might really want it.) and peers into the opening. Some thing pops up and completely rips off Leo's arm. Teresa goes running to get Leo's phone from the car and encounters who I'm assuming is Bloody Face, and the episode ends. But let's backtrack a few years to 1964 ...

Kit Walker (Evan Peters) is a humble gas station attendant. He is also married to a black woman named Alma (Britne Oldford, MTV's "Skins"), which at the time is something that was seen as relatively taboo. His "friends" refer to her as a "maid," but his love for her trumps any crap he receives from others. He comes home, she cooks dinner, they have sex, and then aliens decide to show up. Wait, what? Yeah, I know, right? Aliens! They totally killed Alma (presumably) and probed Kit! Crazy, no? That's "AHS" for you.

They didn't show the aftermath of the alien visit, but what I can get from it is that they discovered Alma's body and the way she was found matches a notorious serial killer's method. Is that right, or did something just go completely over my head? Anyways, they ship Kit off to Briarcliff after being deemed the notorious serial killer "Bloody Face."

At Briarcliff, there are many faces to get familiar with. Shelly (Chloë Sevigny, "Big Love") is a nymphomaniac (or a wood nymph, according to Sister Jude) who just cannot help herself. Grace (French newcomer Lizzie Brocheré) was convicted of murdering her family, which she denies, and she comes to the side of Kit. Monsignor Timothy Howard (Joseph Fiennes) holds the hidden affection of Sister Jude. Sister Mary Eunice (Lily Rabe) is a sensitive nun who aids Dr. Arthur Arden in performing unauthorized experiments and keeping their mystery creature(s) a secret. Arden performs these experiments in order to "better understand" the evil present in the brain that allows people to commit such heinous acts. After he's done experiments, he feeds the remains to his creature/pet/thing.

Lana Winters (Sarah Paulson), an investigative journalist, finds herself as the newest patient at Briarcliff. After catching Lana snooping around the premises, Sister Jude deems it only necessary to have her committed in order for her to fully get a feel of the facility. And so that no one would come looking for her or call the authorities, she blackmails Lana's girlfriend, Wendy (Clea DuVall), into signing her into the care of Sis' Jude. See, in 1964, homosexuality was super not accepted and parents wouldn't want a lesbian teaching their children, so Jude uses this against Wendy, an elementary school teacher.

The premiere was mostly all set-up, having to introduce all these new characters to the audience. I'm not even fully sure where this season is going to go. There is a lot of territory to cover in terms of backstories and unearthing secrets. For someone who kind of loved the first season (anything with Connie Britton has my vote. P.S. I hoped you DVR'd "Nashville"), I have no trouble believing this one is going to be great. 

Extras:

The opening credits are exponentially scarier than the first season's. Like, help me. Seriously.

Which do you prefer: Blonde Evan Peters or Brunette? I'm casting my vote for brown.

How hilariously sad was it to see poop thrown into Sister Mary's face and her bursting out in tears? Lily Rabe is a great crier. Not as good as queen crier Lea Michele, but still a commendable job.

Zachary Quinto: first billed, yet nowhere in sight. Boo.

So the alien thing definitely happened now that Arden found the probe in Kit's neck, right?

I kind of found the entire present-day scenario kind of pointless. Anyone else? 

Sister Jude's day dream of getting it on with Howard was kind of hot. I don't care that she's 63; Jessica Lange can obviously still get it wherever she goes.

The apparent ode to "Clockwork Orange" was much appreciated and enjoyed.

The editing, like the first season's, was really great and only aided in heightening the already creepy atmosphere.

Are you already betting on Jessica Lange's third Emmy win next year?

"American Horror Story: Asylum" airs Wednesdays, 10 p.m. ET on FX.

Hello all, and welcome! Before I get down to recapping this week's eventless go-sees and subsequent waste of a good prison rental space, I'd like to discuss the Tyrabomb that was dropped this week (which I saw via terrifying Instagram post): namely, that the theme of Cycle 20 of America's Next Top Model (yes, it somehow got renewed) will be BOYS AND GIRLS. Yes, you read correctly – Tyra, assumedly in a scramble to salvage the rapidly sinking SS ANTM, has revoked her pledge to never have male contestants on her show (Isis excluded) and swallowed her claim that there are no name-recognition male models. I admit, there was a time when I had dreams of becoming a model, but Tyra had shut her doors to my unfortunate gender. I feel slighted, overlooked, and frankly, disappointed in ANTM. All I can say is THEIR LOSS.

Now on to this week's episode! Little Latina (is that what she is?) Nastasia had best/trashiest photo last week, and bland blonde frontrunner Laura found herself in the bottom two. As Laura pledges to try harder (in a typical winner's edit), Brittany pouts her cartoon-face and whines about always coming in second and how she misses her fam (in a typical loser's edit). There's a lot of edited banter about the house regarding the eliminated contestants, which can be taken to mean that one will be returning imminently.

Home-schooled food-hater Victoria still steals some spotlight this week for her eating habits, or lack thereof. Hovering over a sparse plate of untouched vegetables, she claims that she's eaten a brownie cookie once, inviting the other girls, Kristen in particular, to assault her with mean logic and openly label her weak and unstable. Kristen is a shady bitch whose sole merits are looking generically pretty and cool; I suppose that's what happens when Nylon replaces CoverGirl as your target brand.

The final six floozies book it to Smashbox Studios, where Kelly Cutrone and some one-time gay inform them that they'll be sent on go-sees, in groups of two. The participating designers are Guess, Whitney Port, Cecilia Cassini, Charlotte Ronson, and Lulu Guinness – each designer will book one girl, and whoever garners the most bookings will win. We barely see the girls walk or model clothing, but we are treated to a handful of conversation moments, mainly those that contrast Victoria's social clumsiness with the relative charm of her peers. The ladies pose with oversized lip-purses and try to impress a 13-year old, and Laura has a meltdown about the time budget, but in the end everyone arrives back at Smashbox in a timely fashion.

Kelly and that robohomo read the results: Kristen and Laura are pretty but stiff, Brit and Kiara have positive energy but amateur skills, Nasti photographs well but looks busted in person, and Vicki has good manners and the personality of an anxious broom. I find it ironic that in this particular cycle the grading system has been stripped from the go-see portion of the ANTM experience, but perhaps there are only so many numbers to go around. Regardless, the designers' choices are as follows:

Cecilia Cassini: Kiara
Lulu Guinness: Nastasia
I Heart Ronson: Kristen
Whitney Port: Laura
Guess: Laura

So, Laura wins the challenge once again, adding $10,000 more to her imaginary jackpot. At this rate, I don't think the producers will let her win, or else they'll have to actually shell out her amassed prize money. The challenge scores range from 6.5-7.5, proving how truly mediocre this competition has become. At dinner, Brit and Vicki are sullen about their performances. However, their self-pity is overshadowed by the unwelcome appearance of P'Trique, who drops a few trite hints about the upcoming shoot before vanishing into the extras room from whence he came.

The next morning, the wannabeontops arrive at a correctional facility, where they're greeted by a butch female officer/actress in clear-framed glasses. When I saw that the girls were being BOOKED (fingerprinting, jewelry-relinquishing, makeup-removing – the works!), I smugly reclined, expecting a trashy, regal adventure into lawless depravity. I pictured tattooed ex-cons in the background, shanks for props, territory brawls in the weight room … but no. The shoot, although deliciously-styled with leopard-print eye shadow and leather crop jackets, was nothing more than a series of “retro” mug shots photographed by supposed Nylon regular Mike “The Cobra Snake, ” or as Brittany described him, someone who “knows what's IT.”

Pre-shoot, Kiara reveals her own criminal history of shoplifting a bracelet, yet the faux-crime they crassly assign her blackness is CRACK. Vicki's is theft, although her bizarre country character act takes over, as she drawls and rabidly spits about the room. Kristen got drunk driving, which is maybe why she couldn't keep her eyes open during her shoot. Brit, although styled in an LDB and pearls, is booked for indecent exposure; her poses are catalog at best. Nasti has the best styling by far, representing chola glamour with lip liner, a drawn-on mole, and tattoo tears, but Laura gets the trash award for use of her tongue and a pay phone. You can see all the photos here, under Week 7.

An unrequested photo of Tyra and Rob Evans seizes the screen, which can only mean one thing: Panel Time. Introductions are rushed through, because TyTy means business in a textured pink dress with sharp shoulder-pads. Boring pictures reap boring critiques – Kristen is yawnfully pretty, Kiara has an old, long man-face, and Nasti has hilariously dead ceiling-eyes. Vicki's explains her overly campy picture by (correctly) alleging that she's being bullied, prompting Kell to make several uncharacteristically considerate comments. Brit's dead fish face pushes her to the bottom, while Laura's tongue work propels her to the top. It looks like Ty is trying to curve the grading system, as she changed two of her scores over the course of this week's judging, with rationale like “no neck” and “body of work.” The scores line up like so:

Laura: 41.0
Kristen: 35.8
Kiara: 34.8
Nastasia: 33.3

And so it goes. Two of my picks for winner once again find themselves on the chopping block: Disneycentric Brittany and ano nano Victoria. Tyra tells Vicki (32.6) she needs to distinguish between character and car-i-ca-TURE, before briskly shooing Brit (30.0) back into darker obscurity. BUT WAIT! Now is “the moment of truth” – the eliminated contestants emerge from the curtains one-by-one as TyTy prepares to announce which one will reenter the hellhole that is Top Model. We won't find out until next week, but tune in for that reveal, as well as an arbitrary trip to Jamaica, where girls of all racial backgrounds will attempt to move their hips. ‘Til then, fierce and love, Nick ~
