<description><![CDATA[<p>From suds to studs! Cutie Chandler Massey just won his second consecutive Emmy for playing gay teen Will Horton on "Days of Our Lives," who, like every soap character (especially the gay ones) has had his fair share of drama. </p><p>To prove he's more than just a pretty face, you can check out his Emmy reel below (story continues below video):</p><center><iframe width="416" height="384" src="http://www.hlntv.com/embed/72607" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen scrolling="no"></iframe></center><p>Though if all this soap talk has got you in the mood for a shower, then you may wanna check out this sizzling <a href="http://youtu.be/kXEmLY7Fmb8" target="_hplink">fantasy scene</a> that made lots of gay fans of "Days of Our Lives" VERY happy. </p><p>What isn't making fans happy is that sadly, Massey has announced that once his "Days" contract is up in December he's going to leave the show to finish up his college degree. </p><p>Hopefully he'll get plenty more screen time before then!</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Howard Stern stopped by "Late Night" on Monday night, and gave host Jimmy Fallon an earful of advice about his upcoming gig hosting "The Tonight Show" in February. </p><p>Barely letting Fallon have a word in edgewise, Stern (who was once <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/06/howard-stern-to-replace-jimmy-fallon-on-late-night-after-rumored-leno-exit-sources_n_2822838.html" target="_hplink">rumored</a> to replace Fallon) told him right out of the gate that he was so happy to see longtime nemesis Jay Leno leave the job, he would have been just as happy to see Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or Charles Manson host "The Tonight Show." He also gave some tips to The Roots, questioned whether Jimmy is actually gay and told him that he likes Jimmy Kimmel more than him.</p><p>All in all, classic Stern. Check out the clip above to see him not hold anything back.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have yet to choose a name for their baby girl, but they are reportedly close to deciding. </p><p>One source told People magazine that <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20709903,00.html" target="_hplink">Kardashian and West haven't picked a name for their baby</a>, born Saturday, June 15 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in West Hollywood. But another source added the new parents are getting close to making a final decision. </p><p>"Kim is being very protective of the baby and she says there is no official name," the first source added. </p><p>Larsa Pippen, wife of Scottie Pippen and a close friend of the reality starlet, told E! News she has been offering <a href="http://www.eonline.com/news/430903/kim-kardashian-doing-great-kanye-west-is-in-love-with-their-baby-girl-pal-says" target="_hplink">Kardashian name suggestions that start with the letter "K"</a> (a hint the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star previously <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/16/kim-kardashian-daughter-looks-like_n_3450008.html" target="_hplink">gave family and friends</a>). "We kind of went back and forth and the name that I wanted, [Kim] didn't love," she said.</p><p>InTouch suggests the 32-year-old and her "Yeezus" beau have been struggling over a name. </p><p>"<a href="http://www.intouchweekly.com/stars/news/kim-kardashian-kanye-west-baby-name-battle" target="_hplink">North is at the top of the list of names.</a> They're not totally sure about it. Kanye loves it, Kim is okay with it," a supposed insider told the tabloid. “The family doesn't like it [the name]. They're going to decide by today [Tuesday].”</p><p>Khloe Kardashian previously tweeted that more information, such as the <a href="https://twitter.com/KhloeKardashian/status/346345718535057409" target="_hplink">baby's name, will "come when the time is right."</a> Although <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/16/arts/music/kanye-west-talks-about-his-career-and-album-yeezus.html?pagewanted=all" target="_hplink">West probably won't want too much info getting out</a>, since "this isn't America's baby." </p><p>Name or no name, Kardashian and West are both basking in the glow of parenthood. Pippen told E! News the first-time mama is doing great, feeling good and "so excited" about her bundle of joy. The proud papa is the same. </p><p>"Yeah he was there [at the hospital]," she said. "He's so cute. He doesn't leave the room. He's, like, in love with the baby. It's so cute."</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Before her days as supermom <a href="http://www.nbc.com/parenthood/bios/kristina-braverman/" target="_hplink">Kristina Braverman on "Parenthood,"</a> Monica Potter was a struggling soap actress. In fact, she played Sharon Newman before Sharon Case took over the role. </p><p>"I worked on 'The Young And The Restless,' and I was fired because I was terrible," <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=MxKDAJ8TCv4#!" target="_hplink">Potter told Craig Ferguson</a> in a 2010 interview (below) at the 4:23 mark. "I had to dance in like a bathing suit and, you know, they put all this paint on you, like you're supposed to be tan and there's music in the background, but there's not really music ... I just couldn't do it."</p><p><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/MxKDAJ8TCv4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p><p>Check out the full photo of Potter in her early soap days below: </p><p><img alt="monica potter" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1197565/thumbs/o-MONICA-POTTER-570.jpg?6" /></p><p>Luckily, Potter's luck has turned around since her soap days. The actress went on to have a successful film career in the early 2000s. But in between that time and when she landed her "Parenthood" role, she moved back to her hometown due to a messy divorce, which ended up being a blessing in disguise.</p><p>"Four years later, I woke up one morning and said, 'I have to go back to California because I have to work and support the kids ... Within three months of being back [in LA], I got a phone call that my father died," <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaGKFqp26gE" target="_hplink">Potter said in Variety's Emmy Studio Supporting Actress Drama panel discussion.</a> "So that was the purpose, just being back there for those years ... I would never, ever, ever, ever give up that time back in Cleveland with my parents, with my dad -- and my boys with my father -- for anything ... It's kind of cool to have gotten a second chance to come back and do television."</p><p><em><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/12/nbc-2013-2014-schedule_n_3263597.html" target="_hplink">Season 5 of "Parenthood" will air on Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET on NBC in the fall.</a></em></p><p><HH--236SLIDEEXPAND--246171--HH></p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Jimmy Fallon kicked off Video Game Week on "Late Night" with a segment called "Do Not Game," where Fallon goes through some video games from throughout the years that should not have been made, much less played. </p><p>For instance, did you know the wings/boobs chain restaurant Hooters once had a game for PlayStation? Yep, that's a thing that happened.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Whoopi Goldberg descended into laughing madness on Tuesday's "View."</p><p>The impetus for the nearly minute-long laughing fit was the news that some Christian groups have been comparing Superman to Jesus. This set Goldberg off so much that, even when her co-hosts were setting out their views on the subject, she was off in her corner, her face contorted, her hands over her head, her voice strained, tears coming out of her eyes, gasping for air, just flat-out breaking down over the whole thing.</p><p>Eventually, she regained her control.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>The fascinating and controversial <a href="http://officialdarkgirlsmovie.com/" target="_hplink">documentary</a><a href="http://www.oprah.com/darkgirls" target="_hplink">"Dark Girls"</a> explores the prejudices that black women face throughout the world, as <a href="http://madamenoire.com/274883/bill-dukes-dark-girls-documentary-to-make-its-television-debut-on-own/" target="_hplink">told</a> through their personal stories. One such woman shares a revelation she had after a trip to Mexico, where the locals' reaction to her dark skin stood in stark contrast to the typical -- and perplexing -- reaction she says she receives from members of her own race.</p><p>While visiting Cancun several years ago, this African-American woman remembers the compliments and attention she received on the trip. "When I got over there, I had the men all at my feet. I got a proposal, I got gifts. I'm like, 'What is going on?'" she says. "They would tell me, 'You have such beautiful skin. Is that your hair? Did you dye it? Is that your natural color?'"</p><p>It's an entirely different reaction than she gets from other African Americans. "Black folks look at me like, 'She's just black. Why are they tripping so?'" the woman says. "It's really questionable to me. Why is it that... my own people don't see any beauty in me at all?"</p><p>Also in the video, another African-American woman shares her own experience with black men, explaining how they behave one way privately and a completely different way when it comes time to venture out in public.</p><p>The world television premiere of the "Dark Girls" documentary airs on Sunday, June 23, at 10 p.m. ET on <a href="http://www.oprah.com/own/channel_finder.html" target="_hplink">OWN</a>.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Are you starting to hate Don Draper? Don't worry, you're not alone.</p><p>Don Draper doesn't kill people. He doesn't cook or deal drugs. He doesn't oversee an organized-crime syndicate. Hell, he doesn't even use the F-word.</p><p>But there's no question <a href="http://www.boston.com/ae/tv/blog/2013/06/don_draper_is_a.html" target="_hplink">he's a monster,</a> as Peggy put it so succinctly in Sunday's episode. He lies. He cheats. He seeks out opportunities to undermine and humiliate his colleagues. He cheats some more. He lashes out at everyone, women and children included.</p><p>Did I mention he cheats?</p><p>And yet, in spite of it all, there has always been something about Don that makes us love him anyway. We know what a scoundrel he is, but we just can't quit him.</p><p>His upbringing is part of it. We know he started at the bottom and absorbed some seriously warped lessons about love and sex along the way.</p><p>But plenty of people have had screwed-up childhoods, and we don't forgive most of them for letting us down again and again and again. (And again.) There's something else about Don.</p><p>I think I know what it is: Don is cool.</p><p>Being cool isn't the same thing as being nice. Far from it. When Don puts somebody down, establishing for the zillionth time that he has the upper hand, he's being a dick -- but he's also defending his alpha-dog status.</p><p>Being the alpha dog is cool.</p><p>But power alone isn't enough. Bert Cooper is powerful, but he's not cool. Not anymore. He can't be bothered to keep up anymore. He can't even be bothered to wear shoes.</p><p>Don's creativity, coupled with his proven ability to persuade others to pay him for it, is the true foundation of his coolness. Ginsberg may be more talented, but he doesn't know how to work a room. Ted may know how to work a room, but he's a dork.</p><p>Only Don and Peggy have the killer combination of creativity and street smarts that translates into true status.</p><p>Ted is a dork because he's too nice, he talks too much and he doesn't have good taste. Like Thelonius Monk, Don doesn't talk unless he has something to say. And when he does have something to say, its purpose is either to draw you into his web or take you down a notch.</p><p>In the show, we've seen one woman after another fall for this routine. In real life, I've discussed Don with a lot of women, and most have said the same thing: "<a href="http://observer.com/2008/10/mad-about-the-man/" target="_hplink">He's a bastard, but I love him.</a>"</p><p>As time goes by and Don gets older, however, his cool is starting to lose its luster. </p><p>For one thing, it's increasingly clear that he has a serious alcohol problem -- the kind where you either quit or die. Drinking a perfectly mixed Old Fashioned is cool; puking in the potted plants is not.</p><p>For another, it's hard to be hip when you're on the wrong side of the generation gap. Sure, Don's still handsome enough to seduce a hippie hostess, but he's slowly losing his grip on the zeitgeist -- the one that has always enabled him to get the girl, land the account, cut down the rival.</p><p>He's not out of touch yet, but it's a matter of time. </p><p>Vince Gilligan, the creator of "Breaking Bad," envisioned that show as a good man's descent into evil. Maybe something similar can be said for "Mad Men." Matt Weiner, a man so defensively nerdy that he corrects people who pronounce his name the way it's spelled, has given us the ultimate specimen of coolness -- and proceeded to tear him down, drink by drink.</p><p>As Don's veneer crumbles, we see what he really is: needy, cruel, mendacious, weak, self-serving, self-loathing, pathetic, fake.</p><p>In 2009, Weiner told Vanity Fair's Bruce Handy that <a href="http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2009/09/mad-men200909" target="_hplink">his true goal was to rescue Don and Betty's generation from "baby-boomer propaganda."</a> At one point, he answered a question about Don with this telling remark: "Think of your grandfather."</p><p>What if that grandfather wasn't so nice? What if Weiner's central question is something like this: How on Earth did that broken-down old crank shuffling from the kitchen to the living room ever enjoy so much power, so much money, so many women?</p><p>Season six isn't over yet, and it's not too late for Don to pull out of his tail spin and make some dramatic change. (Divorcing Megan, whom he clearly does not love, might not be the worst place to start.) </p><p>But I don't believe "Mad Men" is in the business of doling out happy endings. If character is destiny, this show is teaching us a grim lesson about what happens to those who cherish their coolness over everything else.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Happy Birthday, Blake Shelton!</p><p>The country star turns 37 today and we're sure he'll be celebrating big time, considering he could possibly win his third "Voice" champion title tonight <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/18/the-voice-adam-levine-declares-winner-video_n_3457496.html?utm_hp_ref=tv" target="_hplink">with a little help from his finalists</a>, Danielle Bradbery and The Swon Brothers. </p><p>But aside from mentoring on the NBC singing show, Shelton has been wowing audiences for years as one of the biggest names in country music.
