On Saturday, Spelling was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after suffering from a severe coughing attack. According to Us Weekly, she almost fainted because the episode was so intense.

Tori Spelling invites Dean's ex to her daughter's unusual birthday bash

Spelling is being treated for severe bronchitis and a possible case of pneumonia. Her symptoms were serious enough that the staff took precautions and quarantined the actress due to the recent outbreak of Ebola in the U.S. Spelling likely does not have Ebola, but the doctors wanted to make sure.

TMZ reported that more blood tests are being run and a lung specialist is going to look into her bronchial issue. She is expected to stay at the hospital for the rest of the week.

This illness couldn't have come at a worse time for Spelling, since she was supposed to be promoting the second season of her Lifetime show, True Tori. The press tour has been canceled.

Tori Spelling is proud of her cheating husband

Spelling has endured the public breakdown of her marriage to Dean McDermott after his infidelities were revealed to the media. Their life post-affair has been documented by the cable channel in the emotional and cringe-worthy show.

It's entirely possible that the stress of the past year, in addition to raising four young kids, has just put Spelling at her limit. Let's hope she take care of herself once she's on the mend.

Spelling certainly deserves a break. She's earned it the hard way!

Kris Jenner didn't even realize Bey Z dissed Kimye wedding

Kris opened up on the Today show on Monday for the first time since reports hit the media last week that her soon-to-be ex-husband is dating her best friend. Kris isn't as upset about the situation as everyone thought. In fact, she's happy for the guy.

"I just want him to be happy," Kris said of Bruce dating Ronda Kamihira, Kris's former assistant and BFF of more than 20 years. "I don't care who he goes out with and I don't know who he's dating. He doesn't, like, check in with me and give me a play-by-play. But it's his life, and you just want the guy to be happy. He's still the father of two of my children, so we're friends."

And as for the sex change rumors? Kris says they've been going on forever and they are all a bunch of bull, but for some reason, Bruce can't ditch them. "It's silly," she responded when asked about rumors that Bruce is transitioning from male to female. "They've been saying that since the '70s, so you think he'd be cooked by now... [The media] just keep regurgitating the same old stuff."

Though Kris did take time to talk about Bruce on Today, it seems that the Kardashian matriarch was more looking forward to talking about pumpkin spice. She is celebrating the release of her new cookbook, In the Kitchen with Kris: A Kollection of Kardashian-Jenner Family Favorites, this month. "I finally got so tired of sharing my recipes one-by-one with everybody that asked that it made sense to just do a book and put it all together," Kris told E! News in July.

Kris and Bruce Jenner filed for divorce in September, citing the ever-popular "irreconcilable differences." The two admitted that they had been living separately for a while, so it makes sense that Kris would be OK with Bruce moving on.

Troubled star Shia LaBeouf wants to stay sober for Brad Pitt

In LaBeouf's latest film, Fury, he plays a soldier whose nickname is "Bible." It turns out that, at the same time LaBeouf was playing the character, he was finding God in his own way. According to Extra, the actor spoke with Interview magazine about how Brad Pitt and Fury director David Ayers helped him find himself.

"I found God doing Fury. I became a Christian man, and not in a f***ing bulls*** way, in a very real way," LaBeouf said. "I could have just said the prayers that were on the page, but it was a real thing that really saved me."

LaBeouf explained that even though Pitt is not a traditional Christian, Pitt was instrumental in guiding him in his journey. He explained, "I had good people around me who helped me. Brad was really instrumental in guiding my head through this. Brad comes from a hyper-religious, very deeply Christian, Bible-Belt life, and he rejected it and moved toward an unnamed spirituality. Whereas David is a full subscriber to Christianity — but these two diametrically opposed positions both lead to the same spot, and I really looked up to both men."

Shia LaBeouf admits he's done dumb things during existential crisis (VIDEO)

Pitt has previously expressed his gratitude for knowing LaBeouf as well, calling him "one of the best actors I've ever seen," according to The Wrap.

"He's full-on commitment, man. He's living it like no one else, let me tell you," Pitt explained to British GQ back in September. "I've been fortunate to work with a lot of great actors. He's one of the best I've seen."

All the awkward moments from Taylor Swift's Aussie interview

What's the big deal, you ask? Well, for a song with "New York" in the title, New Yorkers are having a hard time finding the connection. As Swift pushes through the song, only one thing seems abundantly clear: Swift clearly has no idea what New York City is all about or why people find it so magnificent. If this is supposed to be an ode to the Big Apple, it’s lacking any true knowledge. In a word, the song is vague. It also begs the question: Doesn't Swift live in this city? Is this the best she can do?

She might have been trying to capture the look of the city with lines like "Walkin' through a crowd, the village is aglow / Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats." However, it doesn't seem New York enough, if you will. Is it the East Village or the West? It could just as easily be Greenwich. Or, you know, pretty much any other village, town or city in the world. Aglow isn't exactly a real descriptor in and of itself. Are there tons of lights? Is the glowing with energy of the people and the traffic? Both are pretty basic elements of any city.

Swift ends the first verse with perhaps the most "Manhattan" part of the entire song: "Everybody here wanted somethin' more / Searchin' for a sound we hadn't heard before." There's definitely a vibe of everyone looking for something better, different, more in New York. It's a mentality you can't always find, for example, in smaller towns in the Midwest, where people are mostly happy to be where they are and with their families. Still, New York is not alone in its quest for more. Los Angeles has that same ambition. So do Hong Kong and London.

Can you name the pop star Taylor Swift sings about in "Out of the Woods"?

The song gets especially obtuse in the second verse, when T-Swizzle ends it by talking about everyone wanting who they want, "boys and girls and girls and girls." OK, in the early '80s, that line might have seemed especially connected to New York City. But we're in a day and age where more than half the country supports same-sex marriage. New York is hardly unique in its acceptance of queerness... at least, not anymore.

The second verse also talks about that first time moving into an apartment and starting fresh in a new city. Yes, Taylor, many people in New York came to the city to start over. Once again, that’s not a New York-only phenomenon. Every day, someone packs up their bags, leaves home and heads for "somewhere, anywhere" that isn't where they've already been.

All in all, we’re not sure what Swift is hoping to accomplish in this song. The second verse could have gone somewhere, could have been about the first time venturing out on your own... to anywhere. The first verse is so vague, the only reason we're certain she's singing about the Big Apple is that she mentions it so dang much in the chorus.

As a matter of fact, Swift mentions New York 21 times despite never actually discussing the uniqueness of the city itself. Is it "Welcome to New York" or is it "Welcome to Paris," to Nashville, to Boston or to any other city with a two-syllable name? Let's be honest here: Everything she said could easily apply to any of those cities, too. So... what's the point?

Breaking Bad finale: Celebrities react

Of course, he's firing back with humor and some much-needed sarcasm.

Cranston is referencing Susan Schrivjer's protest over Toys"R"Us selling action figures of Breaking Bad's meth-dealing characters. The toys each even come with a sack of cash and a bag of meth, according to Time.

While Schrivjer, the Florida mom who started a petition to have the action figures removed from the kids' toy store, says she loves the series, she doesn't think the dolls are appropriate for children.

6 Gritty shows to fill the Breaking Bad void

"I thought it was a great show!" she told Fort Myers news station Fox4Now. "It was riveting."

Though the figures of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) are advertised for children 15 and over, Schrivjer still thinks they have no business being sold in Toys"R"Us. The Walter White doll has a lab coat and comes with two beakers and a gas mask. The Jesse Pinkman figure sports chili pepper and a mask and is wearing a hazmat suit.

"Knowing those are the items one needs to make meth, I just think it's wrong," she also told the news station.

Netflix nabs screening rights to Breaking Bad spinoff Better Call Saul

"Kids mimic their action figures, if you will," Schrivjer continues. "Do you want your child in an orange jumpsuit?"

Schrivjer, under the name Susan Myers, posted a petition at Change.org.

Cranston wasn't the only one to comment on Schrivjer's protest. Toys"R"Us has also already responded, saying, "The products you reference are carried in very limited quantities and the product packaging clearly notes that the items are intended for ages 15 and up. Items from this TV series are located in the adult action figure area of our stores."

Do you think the Breaking Bad action figures are appropriate merchandise for Toys"R"Us to carry?

Amal Clooney isn't anti-feminist for taking her husband's last name

Julia Roberts and Clooney have been friends for years, and she has some life advice to give to her suddenly off-the-market friend.

"We've spoken many times since he's gone from a bridegroom to a husband," Roberts told Access Hollywood, joking that she would be helping him with his relationship from now on. “I’ll be advising George Clooney on his marital life. I'll get right on that!"

Clooney and Amal Alamuddin's romance was a whirlwind — they were engaged in April 2014 and married only a few months later, in September. It looks like Roberts approves of Clooney’s bride. She only had one piece of advice for the new husband: "Well, the only advice for that is finding your person — and he's found his person."

Roberts and Clooney first starred together in Ocean's Eleven back in 2001 and Ocean's Twelve in 2004, and they have been friends ever since. She has been married to Danny Moder for 12 years now, so she seems to be the marriage veteran of her social group. Roberts has nothing but good things to say about the couple.

Julia Roberts and Danny Moder pick up humanitarian award

"She is beautiful and smart, and he is happy," Roberts recently told Ellen DeGeneres. "And that's what matters to me."

Leno's name isn't usually synonymous with Mark Twain, but when we found out that the comedian was given an honor in the author's name, we had to dig a little deeper. Would Leno and Twain have gotten along if they were both alive these days? The answer might surprise you.

Did Jay Leno and Johnny Carson really conspire against Joan Rivers? (VIDEO)

We dug up some quotes by both men and discovered they seemed to have similar opinions on a few subjects.

Idiots and God

Mark Twain: In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards.

Jay Leno: The Supreme Court has ruled that they cannot have a nativity scene in Washington, D.C. This wasn't for any religious reasons. They couldn't find three wise men and a virgin.

Friends and laughter

Mark Twain: The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.

Jay Leno: You can't stay mad at somebody who makes you laugh.

Jay Leno compares Sultan of Brunei to Donald Sterling (VIDEO)

Junk food

Mark Twain: The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like and do what you'd rather not.

Jay Leno: I went into a McDonald's yesterday and said, "I'd like some fries." The girl at the counter said, "Would you like some fries with that?"

Advertising

Mark Twain: Many a small thing has been made large by the right kind of advertising.

Jay Leno: In America, we like everyone to know about the good work we're doing anonymously.

Congress

Mark Twain: Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself.

Jay Leno: More coming out about Saddam Hussein. We now know he takes Viagra and he has as many as six mistresses. No wonder Congress is reluctant to take action against this guy — he's one of their own.

Mothers

Mark Twain: My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it.

Jay Leno: You're not famous until my mother has heard of you.

5 Reasons we did not see the Amber Rose, Wiz Khalifa split coming

Rose's painful split from husband Wiz Khalifa is still fresh, but the model is doing just fine. Rose revealed last week that she won't be entering the dating pool anytime soon because she has a No. 1 man to focus on, and he's already been in her life for 19 months: her son, Sebastian.

"I'm OK. I'm doing pretty good. I'm going through a divorce and technically I'm single. I guess you could say I'm just not ready for that," Rose told Us Weekly last week, referring to dating again. "I'm focused on my son and I'm focused on work and I really don't have time for a man right now," she said. "I just want to do me. That's it. I want to do me and I want to take care of my son and I want to work."

This might be Rose's way of putting to bed rumors that she's been seeing Gene Simmons' son, Nick Simmons, in recent weeks. The duo have been spotted around Los Angeles hot spots lately, but the younger Simmons insists there's "no relationship, just friends."

Rose's new priorities seem healthy, considering the alleged cheating that Khalifa committed and the struggle she has been enduring since. "The mornings are especially hard," Rose tweeted on Oct. 6. "The pain...I wake up every morning feeling like my best friend died..... I never knew what true heartache felt like until now."

Amber Rose partakes in #HumpDay by sharing a pic of her huge bum (PHOTO)

For now, it looks like Rose is focused on the holidays and keeping things festive for Sebastian. "He's talking a lot now and he's obsessed with pumpkins," she told Us Weekly. "All day it's, 'Pumpkin, pumpkin!' I'm gonna dress him up as a pumpkin [for Halloween]. It's going to be awesome."

And it looks like the beauty hasn't thrown in the towel on men for good. Rose, who will celebrate her 31st birthday on Tuesday, tweeted some hints to friends who are throwing her birthday bash.

"Hopefully they invited some hot Jewish boys," Rose added.

JLo snubs Pitbull: The Billboard moment no one is talking about

The show will air on Nov. 23. Not only will Pitbull host the show, he will also perform a song from his upcoming album, Globalization.

Dick Clark Productions, which produces the award show on ABC, made the announcement on Monday with the rapper.

"World, who would have thought Pitbull hosting the AMAs two years in a row," Pitbull said in the statement. "The harder I work, the luckier I get. Thank you ABC and Dick Clark Productions for the amazing opportunity — more than anything, let's get ready to have fun. Dale!"

PHOTO: Pitbull gives a big F-U to haters at college graduation

The rough translation for the Spanish word dale is "do it" or "get it" and is a signature phrase for Pitbull, aka Armando Christian Perez.

Pitbull also took to Twitter to celebrate the exciting news.

AMA producer Larry Klein also commented on the announcement, saying, "Pitbull is a global superstar and multitalented powerhouse who delivered one of the most exciting shows in American Music Awards history when he hosted in 2013. This year will be no different. We're working together to create elements of the show that will wow audiences and take the night to a whole new level."

The evolution of Beyoncé: How she became Queen Bey

Pitbull definitely received praise from peers and fans for last year's performance, which was noted for being lighthearted and funny thanks to the host.

The nominees for this year's show have already been announced. Iggy Azalea leads the pack with six nominations. John Legend, Katy Perry and Pharrell Williams all scored five nominations each, and Lorde has four.

Fans can vote here for the nominees they want to win.

The gossip site revealed emails between Kim's management and an unnamed brand during negotiations to get Kim to represent the brand's product. The exchange confirmed that Kim won't get out of bed for less than $750,000 to $1 million.

Wait, what? Kim Kardashian gets trumped by her sister

The family representative wrote, "I think you should definitely come back with the best offer that you can make her from a money standpoint, so that we can save the time going back and forth."

That seven-figure number only represents her appearance fee. Anyone who wants Kim to be the face of their product better get ready for all of the expensive extras, which include: "5 first class tickets, plus 1 coach, first class hotel accommodations (1 suite for talent and standard rooms for others in party), portal to portal first class exclusive ground transportation, airport greeter service, security, glam fee (day rate for her hair and makeup squad), and a per diem."

Kim Kardashian schools us on Instagram annoyances

If any company thinks it's going to have the last word when it comes to advertising, think again. Kim's negotiator also added, "We would need approval over photographer, all photos used in print materials, glam squad (hair, makeup, stylist, manicurist), hotel/airline/car service and PR usage. We would need to review and approve [the media plan] with her PR team."

A company that would balk at those fees can get the next best thing for $500,000 to $1 million. It's not Kourtney or Khloé — it's model Kendall Jenner. She's the more affordable Kim and the heir apparent to the Kardashian marketing machine.

The "signal"

Then...

In the beginning, though, it seemed as though nothing on earth existed for any other purpose than to work us into a hot, sweaty mess of desire for each other. We could have been discussing calculus, and it would have been the sexiest thing in the world. I barely had to blink in his direction, and we'd already be halfway to the bedroom.

Now...

GIF Credit: Giphy.com

Subtlety and sexual innuendo don't do much good when you're both nearly catatonic from working all day and serving as refs every night when your kids duke it out mini-MMA style. By the time the kids go to sleep, it would take nothing short of blunt force trauma to break my husband's SportsCenter trance. Well, that or just telling him I want to have sex.

The build-up

Then...

GIF Credit: Giphy.com

As if we could keep our hands off each other long enough to walk like rational beings to the bedroom! It was as though all the air had been sucked from the room, and we were each other's oxygen.

Now...

GIF Credit: Giphy.com

I mean, I'm headed that way... but a girl's gotta brush her teeth, right? I never seemed to worry about such things when I was younger and caught up in the heat of the moment. Now I think about things like the heat of my dragon breath hitting his face mid-coitus.

The art of undressing

Then...

GIF Credit: Giphy.com

For him, it was all about the slow undress. Peeling away his clothes one layer at a time, working me over after shedding each layer — it was the ultimate pre-game tease. By the time he actually fully disrobed, I was ready to burn every last article of clothing he owned.

GIF Credit: Giphy.com

For me, it was all about the undergarments. Beneath my blouse or dress was always some sexy lingerie. Teeny tiny see through bits of fabric and lace that I undoubtedly shelled out half my then-meager paycheck for at Victoria's Secret.

Now...

GIF Credit: Giphy.com

There's nothing slow about the way my husband gets undressed these days. At the mere mention of sex, he turns into a ninja of nakedness.

GIF Credit: Giphy.com

Sure, I might break out the little negligees for anniversaries or other special occasions, but most nights I'm rocking a big cozy t-shirt. And, to be quite honest, I'm not even sure if it's mine. Could be my husband's, could be one my lumberjack of a cousin left last time he visited. What? It's coming off anyway, right?

Le ol' foreplay

Then...

GIF Credit: Giphy.com

I mean, really, what wasn't foreplay back then? Before we ever even crossed the threshold of sex, we would spend hours doing all manner of naughtiness to each other. It makes me tired just thinking about it.

Now...

GIF Credit: Giphy.com

Are you serious? We're lucky if we stay awake long enough to even get to the sex part of the sex most nights. We've cashed in our foreplay tokens in exchange for an extra hour of sleep in the morning.

Dirty talk

Then...

GIF Credit: Giphy.com

Girl, we use to say things to each other that would make a sailor blush! We were so bold and so naughty back then. If talking about calculus turned us on, you can only imagine what not talking about calculus did for our sex drives.

Now...

GIF Credit: Giphy.com

I think when I gave birth, right along with the babies came that dirty little part of my brain that was uninhibited enough to say naughty, naughty things. We roll much more conservatively nowadays, but I try to throw him a bone every now and then (and vice versa, I guess you could say).

The main event

Then...

GIF Credit: Giphy.com

Oh, yeah. I remember those days. Everything looked sexy and felt sexy and was sexy. We were totally in sync and nothing could break our rhythm. We were like the One Direction of f***ing.

Now...

GIF Credit: Giphy.com

"Wait... stop... did you hear that? I think I heard one of the kids crying. No, maybe that was just the dog whining. Wait, wait. Are you sure you don't hear anything? Never mind, keep going." Now, simply repeat that six times and you'll have an idea of what sex with two kids under six in the house is like.

True story.

Post-coital state

Then...

GIF Credit: Giphy.com

After our marathon sex sessions, we'd lie in bed staring at each other. Sometimes we'd stay up all night talking. Others we'd stay up all night... not talking.

Now...

GIF Credit: Giphy.com

Sometimes I'm not even entirely sure my husband has physically exited the building, if you catch my drift, before he passes out. Within five minutes of getting that release, he's out for the night. I could probably punch him in the wiener at this point and he wouldn't even wake up.

P.S. Here's the good news: Quality over quantity wins out, people. Sure, we might have had a lot more sex when we were younger, but we needed to — we were still figuring each others bodies out. Now we now exactly what buttons to push and when. And it's glorious.

I know the whole sweet/unsweet cornbread debate is still going strong. Normally the Southern folks like it unsweet (I'm team unsweet), and the Northern folks like it sweet. I like to think this version would please them both. It's not so overly sweet that you only taste sugar, but it gives a nice, subtle sweetness that makes it perfect for serving alongside chili or for just eating it for breakfast.

Pumpkin and honey cornbread recipe

Adapted from The Comfort of Cooking

This slightly sweet cornbread would make the perfect addition to your Thanksgiving table. It's perfectly moist and delicious when served with fresh whipped butter and a drizzle of honey.

We look like derps out there, pouring shame upon our children and unborn future generations. Although I have no answers for mom jeans and the mom bob, I submit that the following mommy jewelry items are a much better alternative to ubiquitous, oversized photo pendants.

Hell, you might even look fashionable.

1. Love link necklace

Remember that mom jewelry works best when it leaves something to the imagination. For instance, we love that this necklace is an understated symbol of the bond between mother and child. (Etsy, $44)

2. Sweet heart earrings

Look past the design of these classic heart earrings, and you'll see an image of a mother holding her child in an embrace. How sweet! (James Avery, $69)

3. Antique locket

Apparently, classic pieces like this Tiffany-lookalike locket can sometimes set mamas back almost two grand. Not so, with this affordable piece that will allow you to hide a picture of your wee one in its design. (Nordstrom, $58)

4. A blingy monogram

Cursive monograms can't hold a candle to this edgy, diamond-encrusted monogram necklace. It's sweet and commemorative without looking cheesy. (Laurel & Bleau, $200 and up)

5. Infinity bracelet

Channel your inner Emily Thorne with this bedazzled infinity bracelet, which represents the infinite love of a mom for her kids. Bonus! There's room for a birthstone. (Otis B. Jewelry, $28)

6. Tiny birthstone ring

Stackable rings are still all the rage, and these delicate rings don't disappoint. Add a birthstone for every child to create a stacking wonder of color. (Hip Mom Jewelry, $25 and up)

7. Leather bracelet

Not feeling the gemstones and sparkle? Wear this sporty everyday bracelet instead, and personalize with your child's name for an extra-special touch. (Colonel Littleton, $32)

8. Teensy initial ring

If you have more than one kid but don't want to feel overwhelmed by bejeweled letters, look no further than this tiny ring for moms of two kids. Wear it on your pinkie finger for a cute little reminder of your love. (Etsy, $36)

9. Understated stackables

Layer these name-friendly rings with both diamond and metal stackables for a look that easily transitions between work and play. (Laurel & Bleau, $240)

10. Silver bar necklace

Bar necklaces are on-trend, and you can certainly wear the look in a this mom-friendly, personalized and modern necklace. Each bar contains a gemstone and your child's hidden name. (Red Envelope, $50 and up)

11. Cocktail locket ring

Every woman needs a statement ring like this one, which hides a compartment for a picture of your family — you know, just in case you forget what they look like. (Jenny Dayco, $41)

If all of these options are too fashionable for your tastes, you can always wear a personalized scrunchie in your mom bob. Whatever.

Shailene Woodley dishes on how great her boobs are

"I do consider myself a feminist, yeah. Totally," Banks told Yahoo. "Even when I was a model with my bra and panties on for a Victoria's Secret fashion show. Sure, I was stompin', and I know guys were like, 'Woo, look at Tyra.' But I know that my body being thicker on that runway meant something. A lot of the things I did in my modeling career as a woman of color was part of that feminism — of expanding the definition of beauty and making women feel beautiful, no matter what color their skin is."

"Right now, with women in power, and not apologizing for being strong or wanting to make money or to be on top, that's my message — and that's all feminism," Banks added. "I just feel like you should be able to have a fierce face at the same time."

Kristen Stewart and 5 other surprising celeb comments on feminism

The former Victoria's Secret model is a strong woman who knows what she wants. So how many other feminist women are half-naked during their day jobs? It’s more than you might imagine.

Katy Perry

Although Katy Perry doesn't consider herself a feminist, she does "believe in the strength of women." She also believes in showing off her assets, on and off stage.

Beyoncé

Beyoncé talks (and sings) all the time about the power of women — so much that she even coined a modern-day feminist term, joking that "I need to find a catchy new word for feminism, right? Like 'bootylicious.'"

Beyoncé has made the right to dance around half-naked a feminist quality.

Lena Dunham

Dunham rose to fame with Girls, a show about single women and their dating lives. But who's to say that women aren't feminist when they're searching for who they are — even while taking their clothes off?

"The idea of being a feminist — so many women have come to this idea of it being anti-male and not able to connect with the opposite sex — but what feminism is about is equality and human rights. For me, that is just an essential part of my identity. I hope [Girls] contributes to a continuance of feminist dialogue."

Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus actually enjoys running around naked on stage, but she explains that she's only trying to empower women to be proud of their bodies.

"I feel like I'm one of the biggest feminists in the world, because I tell women to not be scared of anything," Cyrus said.

Cara Delevingne

The Victoria’s Secret model took the stage with Kendall Jenner and Gisele Bündchen during Karl Lagerfeld’s Spring 2015 Runway show in Paris, acting out a feminist march — in honor of Emma Watson’s recent UN speech.

Jon Bernthal is sexy in that rough and rugged, tough-guy kind of way. He's gritty and salty, but despite his hard exterior, it seems like he's possibly got a soft spot somewhere underneath all that grime.

Fury pushed me (and tons of other women) to the gruesome limit

In Fury, Bernthal plays the American soldier Grady "Coon-Ass" Travis with shocking fortitude, even if some of his intensions are morally questionable. The movie's writer/director, David Ayer, had this to say about about Grady Travis.

"He crawled out of a swamp. He's the kind of guy who was a Depression-era child, grew up without shoes on his feet, working since the age of eight on farms and he's just not equipped for the adventure he's been forced into by circumstances."

Wardaddy (Brad Pitt) is the leader of this tight-knit group of soldiers and has tons of experience to help his men survive yet one more day of this insidious war. But Wardaddy relies heavily on Grady to have the guts and drive to follow through on his sometime gruesome commands.

A key member of the Fury set asks, "Who the hell is Brad Pitt?"

Boyd "Bible" Swan (Shia LaBeouf) is the gunner inside the tank and serves as the moral compass for the crew. But Boyd and Grady have a surprisingly close relationship in the story since Grady is the loader, which means he's the one loading ammunition into the weapons system.

Bernthal said that Grady and Boyd's dependence goes beyond work. "Grady thinks of Boyd as the 'mother' of the group," said Bernthal. "Grady has unbelievable respect for Boyd as the spiritual and ethical center of the group. With Boyd, he keeps his connection to something higher and to God.

"The loader/gunner relationship is incredibly interesting as they absolutely depend on each other. You'd think there would be a split between them and one guy who's very much about Christ and preaching and the Bible, and then the other who is all about killing and women. But the two characters absolutely melded as one. We're just two sides of almost the same person."

It takes a lot of depth for a man to channel his inner killer and be at peace with that on- and off-screen. But it's by taking risks like this that will no doubt earn Bernthal an Oscar nomination, if not for Fury, then for something else very soon.

Fury also stars Michael Pena, Logan Lerman and Jim Parrack.

I know I did. More accurately, I faced it for the first time when I was 22 and babysitting for a friend's 2-year-old daughter. I changed the baby's diaper before bedtime, and she burst into a tantrum and wails as I cleaned her up. My first reaction, like a ghost from the past, was to think, Oh my God, what have you done to her, you monster? The answer, of course, was nothing. She was having a toddler tantrum. But her response reminded me, against my harshest self-contempt, that I was a victim of real and monstrous sexual abuse as a child, no matter how much I wanted to forget it. It lurked in my subconscious, and an innocent interaction with a child brought the abuse back like a flood of memories.

National studies indicate that one in three girls are sexually abused by the time they reach adulthood. I'm one of those statistics, and I'd actually conjecture that the rate is much higher. I'm in countless relationships — both personally and professionally — with women who were sexually abused as children. And I'm here to tell you that our journey into adulthood, and particularly motherhood, is often haunted by our childhood traumas. It haunts us in experiences like my own, or in terror when our children approach the age of our own trauma or in horror when we catch our children experimenting with their sexuality.

Generally speaking, unaddressed childhood trauma surfaces in motherhood in one of two ways. Moms (and dads) either become overprotective and deny that their children are sexual creatures, or they vilify the natural sexuality and curiosity of their children. Both responses are shame-based, and both deny children the right to learn about sexuality in a healthy way. Surprisingly, the shame that surrounds both responses actually puts children at greater risk of sexual abuse and exploitation, because they don't have the tools and the parental trust to talk about dangerous relationships and traumatic experiences as they approach or occur.

That's the double tragedy. Our unaddressed childhood trauma actually increases the likelihood of our children experiencing the same. There's no way to stick your head in the sand about the issue — and responsible parenting demands that we love our children enough to look at the reality of our traumatic experiences.

If you're not sure where to turn, or if you're having flashbacks about your childhood trauma, please reach out to a therapist or social worker for help. At least one in three moms are in your same position and struggle with your same feelings. You're not alone, and you're not a monster. You do, however, need to act.

Writing for the Daily Mail Online, Morgan revealed that although he agrees with Lewinksy's message on anti-bullying and the fact that the internet can be a vile place, she still got what she deserved (with regards to her share of blame).

"I absolutely agree with Monica that something must be done to stem this tide of filth," he wrote. "Social media giants like Twitter and Facebook need to radically and speedily change their current laissez faire attitude to a growing, despicable menace.

"Where I find myself at odds with Ms. Lewinsky, however, is her claim that she, personally, was 'shamed' by the internet," he wrote.

The former CNN host went on to explain his feelings, saying, "I fear the egg has rather raced past the chicken here.

"If you're a 22-year-old intern working at the White House and you embark on an affair with your married President, then most people would probably say the shame-ometer probably starts right there and then."

Morgan stated that while he doesn't care at all about what happened behind closed doors with Lewinsky and Clinton, his objection to her speech was not based on "any moral outrage over her deceitful behaviour 20 years ago. It's based on her extraordinary self-deceit now."

The British journalist made the point that it was not the internet that had committed the shameful act; she did that all on her own, thanks to lust.

"It wasn't the internet that shamed you, Monica; it was your predilection, like Bill Clinton's, for illicit cigar-fuelled lust in the world's most powerful room. You were 22, not 16. And you both knew you were playing with the kind of fire that destroys forests in the Californian summer," Morgan continued.

"He should shoulder the lion's share of responsibility because he was a much older man and unlike you, he was married. But you're not blameless and in your heart, you know that."

When the 17-year-old Duck Dynasty star was announced as a contestant on the ABC show, many scoffed at the series for casting another reality TV personality. However, Robertson has earned quite a sweet reputation on the set for acting her age and maintaining her Christian values.

This nod to her religion came heavily into play on Monday night's show when she and pro partner, Mark Ballas, were assigned the rumba. The sultry Latin dance is known for being slow and sexy. This had the teen rather worried in rehearsals.

She said in her pre-show package, "I hope this week, it doesn't come off as sexy, but it comes off as sweet. It's just so awkward to me, and when I get awkward, I laugh a lot."

This posed a big choreographic challenge for Ballas, who knew he had to gain approval from Roberston's mom and grandmother before they hit that dance floor.

He explained, "I wanted to find the correct balance between being appropriate and doing the right dance."

Ballas and Robertson hit all of the right notes with the judges, as she was given a score of 35 out of 40. She was moved to tears after the dance. It was clear the stress of her job on the show and sticking by her convictions had gotten to her, even though it was the right thing to do.

Judge Carrie Ann Inaba said it correctly when she described what she saw in that performance, "Exceptionally elegant and gorgeous and age-appropriate."

Robertson is quietly rising to the top and is proving to be a challenger to other strong contestants, like Ribeiro, Bethany Mota and Lea Thompson. She could even be that sneak attack performer who wins that Mirror Ball Trophy in the end.
