I was actually just reading that Apple paid out money to people who's children unwillingly bought in-app purchases (some of these kids racked up thousands, not hundred but thousands of dollars in purchases) and since Apple has installed a feature where you can turn in-app purchases on/off in a very simple way. Maybe before Kanye started his rant he should have inquired about such a thing.

On one hand I actually agree with the sentiment that in-app purchases shouldnt be included in games for very young children, but then he had to go and kill his point by bitching about North making purchases on his iPad every 5 minutes and that children should be allowed to have fun and parents need a break. There are plenty of activities 2 year olds can do that can give parents a rest but maybe when it comes to her playing with the iPad they should actually monitor what she's doing on there or at least try and explain she shouldnt be making additional purchases. She seems like a smart kid that might understand.

Ryan Seacrest posted a picture of Kim and Kanye at American Idol..auditions are currently going on. As if Idol hasnt jumped the shark enough. https://instagram.com/p/8rYOiDFWYN/?taken-by=ryanseacrest

Good lord I just read through a bunch of posts at Pure and I'm not taking sides between Val or Derek but can I just say the mods at Pure are some of the nastiest I've ever come across? All I ever really knew about them was they are Derek fans but someone needs to let them know that calling their readers assholes and saying stuff like "I'm right, youre wrong" and "get lost" is not a good way to keep a blog running smoothly.

Oh God. A year ago we had to deal with Sami in the morgue with EJ. I don't know how I'm going to handle this..just seeing Lucas' face in that clip is killing me.

I'm not even a Will fan and I feel like I got punched in the gut watching that. Yep Frankie on AW being strangled to death and pleading for her life was exactly what that reminded me of. So disturbing.

My mom doesn't follow spoilers and always likes to be surprised.. Um well she gets today's show early and she's absolutely hysterical over it. The murder sounds horrible.

I was tracking twitter quite a bit to see how the switch up pairings were going and I couldn't believe how crazy people are going for Alek..I mean I get it but he was getting even more traction than Nick

Just to add to what others have said, but not only did Spencer's injuries make it impossible even if DWTS had him in mind but Spencer was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel by himself and got a new car and Jimmy brought put his favorite basketball player to meet him so he's definitely gotten perks as well. In fact I would bet anything that was more meaningful for him than DWTS.

Well Khloe has had contact with him because there was a picture of them together at a photoshoot that Kylie tweeted saying it was the first official photo of Khloe and her dad, Kylie deleted it shortly then said it was a joke. But IIRC there was also a story that she confessed to Lamar that she knew this guy was her father and he blabbed to people after the breakup.

Unfortunately I interpreted his tweet the same as you. Very sad.

This is going to sound awful, but I didnt really care too much that Witney's engagement seemed like an afterthought because ever since she announced her engagement on Instagram shes been getting plenty of attention on social media..She's been re-tweeting like mad every media outlet thats even mentioned the engagement or congratulated her so much so that I actually had to turn off her RT's a couple of days ago. So while Alison got the big baby announcement on air its not like Witney's engagement hasnt got any attention.

There is so much shit and rumors in Kardashian land I'm always hesitant to believe but you will never convince me that Alex Roldan is NOT Khloe's father

They already used Crocodile Rock for the jive week 1 so they couldnt have used it again for a dance. I'm mostly indifferent towards Bindi but I adored her dad and I was terribly sad when he died, I remember weeping during his funeral so I was a mess watching her dance and pre-dance package tonight. The show may have wanted to lay it on thick but I cant help but feel her tears were very real.

The Witney/Alfonso/jazz-Carlton dance on the official DWTS YT channel has 7.3 million views. There isnt a single dance in 21 seasons that has views that even come within a mile of those numbers..and that's not counting all the other numerous channels it was posted. Shame on all those people and their crappy taste! Its interesting that if you look at the comments in places like E, People, US Weekly etcthat posted about Tom missing the show there isn't a whole lot of Alfonso hate, quite the opposite, many people seem to love him and are also considering the fact that Tom most likely had to feel comfortable with whoever took on his job so last minute.

I asked this last week and I genuinely want to know..when ABC is obviously asking Alfonso to do these things should he say no? He works for ABC now so I REALLY can't see him refusing them. Tom gave Alfonso his blessing and thought him taking over for him on AFV was a great idea so tbh I wouldn't be surprised if this latest was his idea. Should Alfonso have refused him or ABC?

Alfonso has experience hosting so I'm sure he will do a good job. Not gonna lie, I'm cracking up picturing the people who hate Alfonso and have been so vocal about being sick of him banging their heads on a desk right about now. I do feel awful for Tom though and I hope he finds the strength to help his father through his illness.

I would have to go back and watch but didn't the 50th anniversary promo show Andre with Sami and covering her mouth? Maybe if she goes after Chad then Stefano does do something. eta: Ok I just re-watched the promo..looks like a couple of Dimera henchman and Andre have Sami.

Oh I'm ridiculously excited about "Everybody"! I know for me "I Want It That Way" is probably the more sentimental choice considering the theme (and I think Quit Playing Games With My Heart was the bigger hit) but Everybody I consider more iconic in regard to BSB history if that makes any sense. If Nick really kills this dance and Sharna nails the choreography..I'm hoping she incorporates somehow the right amount of paying homage to BSB while not getting too cheesy..I think this could be a huge breakout moment for Nick.

I'm not even a Will fan and that promo made me cringe in horror. Wow. Ben is twisted. When he was saying 'you couldn't just stay away' he sounded nuts.

I hate to say it but even as someone who finds Bindi kind of annoying, I just listened to what she's dancing to and the tears started flowing. And yeah this is obviously what the show has been waiting for.

I just took a look at Kim's Twitter and God is she obnoxious. If I had just suffered a stroke, even if it was just a mini stroke the last thing I would do is get myself this worked up over not being on DWTS anymore. She even retweeted someone suggesting her daughter could fill in for her. I do think she was taken aback by how everything went down, because even Tony still sounds in shock here which I assume was done right after the show. They both need to give it a rest with the campaigning. http://www.glamour.com/entertainment/blogs/obsessed/2015/09/kim-zolciak-forced-to-withdraw

I actually defended Kim on Facebook yesterday because someone I'm friends with on there posted an article about the Pope quote and called her "the most vile person alive". Give me a fucking break. There are rapists and murderers out there, I had just read about George Zimmerman tweeting a picture of the dead body of the child he murdered and dimwit Kim is the most vile person on the planet lol

How do we know he isnt making some sort of attempt? Losing any large amount of weight is filled with many ups and downs and isnt something that happens in a short period of time if its done correctly and without surgery. Gunnar Peterson was quoted as recent as last month saying hes working with Rob and that Rob is going to a gym regularly, and Rob himself posted a pic on Instagram a few weeks where he did look a bit thinner and it looked like he had a salad in front of him. IMO if Rob is losing weight and broadcast the whole journey on TV like EJ did I can almost guarantee he would have gotten slammed for that too.

I have a question. I've been a longtime viewers since 1986 but from say maybe the last 6 years or so I've been a more on/off viewer so I admit to missing a lot but when was the last death of a major character that didnt actually stay dead? I'm asking because it feels like its not something they really do anymore despite so many beloved characters dying and coming back. I was a huge EJ/Sami fan and was gutted when he died yet I clung to this small glimmer of hope he wouldnt stay dead because of rumors and such and the last death I remember before EJ's that fell into the time period I was watching regularly was Lexie..so yeah I'm just curious if there have been any recent examples of dead but not really dead?
