More: What The Bachelor can teach us about feeling unlovable

The saga continues as everyone goes to the Bahamas for more drama and dates.

Caila scores the first one-on-one date, and conversation at dinner begins as Ben opens up the discussion that he wants to find out more about her “behind the smile." She doesn't know why she can’t share and tells him, “My greatest fear is that I can’t totally fall in love with someone.” This odd exchange continues as Ben tries to prod Caila to find out if there is more behind the smile.

She tells Ben she is a confusing person, and he asks if she is ready to find someone. “I know I am falling in love because I feel like I am being understood,” Caila responds. She says she feels like she knows what he is about, she wants him in her life, and she feels happy. Ben breathes a sigh of relief when she opens up about not being able to open up, and offers her the one-on-one rose. Ben says theirs was the best date of his life.

Lesson learned: Opening up about not being able to be vulnerable is still opening up and can still feel like a connection in dating.

The night's group date goes into the ocean, where the group swims with pigs. Conflict occurs between Ben and Leah, because she feels he has not made an effort to get to know her, and she continues wondering why he isn't showing her any attention. Ben agrees that he feels the group date was awkward, but what isn't awkward about one man dating a group of women in the ocean swimming with pigs and feeding them hot dogs?

Lesson learned: Maybe don’t swim with animals while feeding them.

More drama ensues as Leah tells Ben that Lauren B. is not what she seems around the women and she's different around Ben. He abruptly goes to discuss this with Lauren as Leah goes back to the girls and tells them she didn't say anything. Leah decides to up her game and go over to Ben’s room in an attempt to take down Lauren B. Competition does not suit this woman, as Ben sees right through her, and she is sent home.

Lesson learned: If you talk bad about someone else, make sure you are telling the truth, because it might backfire on you. Karma.

Another highlight in this episode is the dreaded two-on-one date between twin Emily and villain Olivia. This type of date is one of the many anti-feminist moments in which Ben must send one woman home in an embarrassing situation for anyone. It's awkward and wrong, which is why it never happens in real life. He takes the women on a boat ride and feels the pressure. Then he gives the rose to a more subtle and genuine Emily after overzealous and confident Olivia declares her love for him and continues to tell the camera she is going to marry Ben.

Lesson learned: Overconfidence is not a blessing but a curse. Modesty is definitely more becoming in relationships.

More: A 'cat-pack' is the perfect way to let your cat see the world (PHOTOS)

The ginger cat loves to go for walks on a leash (and gives his owner a serious workout when he's in tow), and his walking skills can be seen on a YouTube video uploaded by owner Derek F.

I definitely could not get my cat to go for a walk. In fact, just thinking of his grumpy face is enough to put me off the idea.

But apparently cats on a leash are a thing, and more cats than you thought actually enjoy walking on a leash — so you should give it a shot at least once or twice to see if yours is one of them.

More: Cat walks on all fours after getting two prosthetic legs (VIDEO)

"A lot of cats love to go outside and smell things, see things and roll around in sand and grass and dirt. They love to scratch real trees. Those are things they can do on a walk," Sherry Woodard, animal behaviour consultant at Best Friends Animal Society, told Huffington Post.

But if you do want to start walking your cat, you first need to find him a harness that fits properly and comfortably, and then it's best to start at home.

According to Adventure Cats, you need to get your pet used to the idea of walking on a harness — and to do so with positive reinforcement. Leave the harness next to its food or hold out the leash for it to sniff, and then reward them with delicious treats after.

The next step?

"Put the harness on right before mealtime, so that the dinner distracts him from the new sensation and keeps him from focusing on removing it," Dr. Kat Miller, director of ASPCA anti-cruelty behaviour research, told the publication. "Do this several days in a row until he seems comfortable with it."

When you see he is comfortable with it, you can fasten the harness and adjust the fit. The site recommends that you leave the harness on for a few minutes and reward your cat with food and repeat the process over the next few days to see how your cat reacts to the harness.

If he shows he is comfortable, you can attach the leash, and then comes the fun part (for both of you): Practise walking your cat in your home, keeping the leash loose and praising him for his progress with love and treats.

This is not a process that is going to happen overnight, but if you're patient, your kitty may be the next Amadeus.

But then my desire to greedily devour a gorgeous bouquet of a dozen chip roses turned to hanger when I realized that Doritos was marketing these bouquets using a totally sexist '70s spoof of an ad that completely ignores the fact that women like to eat junk food too.

The video starts off by saying, "This Valentine's Day, boldly declare your love with something he loves: Doritos Ketchup Roses."

The only hint that women love Doritos too comes when some chip grease gets on a woman's boyfriend's face. She daintily takes her finger and swipes it off his cheek, then seductively licks the oily ketchup-flavoured powder off her finger as some text declares, "She loves these."

Doritos majorly misses an advertising opportunity by failing to market these bouquets to women, while it reduces us to nothing more than sexy chip servants patiently hoping some grease will collect on our men's faces so we can lick it off.

Come on, Doritos, it's 2016, and as a woman who's been loyally buying your chips ever since I could pinch together enough quarters from my allowance as a little girl, I'm disappointed.

Thankfully, it's evolved into a consumer-friendly must-have for most women because between my mascara and my brow liner, I don't even know who I am.

Watch the video above to see how far we've come.

Chua-Rubenfeld was a teenager when her family's life became front-page news with the publication of her mother's controversial bestseller, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother. Amy Chua's childrearing choices, based on her own Chinese upbringing, were instantly polarizing and immediately attacked. She was called cruel, Draconian, even downright abusive.

But five years later, Chua-Rubenfeld, now 23 and the founder of Tiger Cub Tutoring, an academic tutoring and test prep company that offers service both in person and online, can't even remember being called "garbage." She doesn't think she was abused — and she oughta know, since she was there, thankyouverymuch.

Chua-Rubenfeld spoke with SheKnows to clear the air about some of the misconceptions about her childhood... and that garbage line.

SheKnows: You’ve gotten a lot of attention over the years thanks to your mom’s book, but you seem to have taken it in stride! What do you wish readers of Battle Hymn knew about you?

Sophia Chua-Rubenfeld: I love this question! I wish readers of Battle Hymn knew how close I am to my family. Even when we get on each other's nerves, I've never once doubted that my parents and sister have my back 100 percent. One of my friends actually said it best: We push and expect a lot from each other, but it's because we're all batting for the same team. (Sorry for the cliché baseball analogy — we spend way too much time watching Yankee games.)

What myths do you wish you could just put to bed?

The garbage story. There's this scene in the book where my mom talks about calling me "garbage" when I was really disrespectful. It's since been pointed to over and over again as an evidence that she must have destroyed my self-esteem. If we're being totally honest, though, I have no memory of it whatsoever! I don't doubt that it happened, it just didn't have a huge impact on my psyche.

More: Signs that you really are the toxic parent your kids are complaining about

How did you handle all the attention you got from the book?

It definitely took some getting used to, especially because I get fairly protective when my family is involved. What I figured out early on was that getting defensive never helps. Yelling, "I'M NOT EMOTIONALLY UNSTABLE, LEAVE ME ALONE!!!" isn't very convincing. Instead, I just try to live a life that's fun and fulfilling. Ten years down the line, the best vindication of my mom will be if her kids turn out normal and happy.

What do you make of the attention that you still get this many years down the road?

Mostly I feel bad we have nothing salacious to report. This would be such a better news cycle if I had dropped a terribly autotuned single or something! In all seriousness, though, I'm super proud that my mom sparked such an ongoing global debate about family dynamics. And I'm also happy for the world to see we've emerged relatively unscathed: [My sister] Lulu is thriving at Harvard, I started a small business and am (so far) surviving law school, and my mom is now an empty-nesting crazy dog lady.

You now run a successful tutoring business. What tips have you taken from your own upbringing to help kids?

I try to pass on a motto my mom and track coach happened to share: When you feel like you're giving 100 percent, it's probably more like 85 percent. With the right inspiration, motivation and training, you can always do a little tiny bit better. What ultimately matters isn't winning or getting a perfect score every time. It's about pushing yourself past where you think your limits are and discovering newfound confidence along the way.

More: My discipline experiment taught me more than it did my kids

Why is tutoring something parents should be availing themselves of, and when?

I have a huge rant about this, and it's in part what inspired my business: The fact is that all the rich kids are already doing it, starting at an absurdly early age. It gives them a head start over equally hardworking kids who are trying to master difficult concepts on their own. Tutoring also increases confidence. It can be intimidating to raise your hand and ask a question in class, which can leave kids feeling not just confused but insecure. Tiger Cub Tutoring levels the playing field by offering top-quality tutoring at a reasonable price. We also run scholarship competitons and offer pro bono tutoring to meritorious low-income applicants. In terms of how much tutoring is appropriate, I think every student is different: Some kids just need a quick confidence boost before the exam. Others do better building a bond with a tutor through weekly meetings.

What other tips do you have for parents, based on your own experience?

Make sure your child feels unconditionally loved. It's okay to demand excellence as long as your kid knows you'll love them just as much whether they win or lose the soccer game. Also, setting attainable goals is super important. Realistically, your daughter isn't going to get signed by Dr. Dre or cure cancer in middle school. But she can start a successful blog, organize a citywide charity event, run a half marathon or any number of things. Encourage kids to turn their passions into projects.

We love that you guys do pro bono work. Mind telling SheKnows a little about how that works? Why do you do it, how does a child become eligible?

Thank you so much for bringing this up! It's really the core of our mission. Interested students should contact us through our online form, and we'll send along a short application. Previous grade performance isn't a huge factor; we're really looking for kids with heart, drive and big dreams. Once a student receives a TCT scholarship, they'll have free access to all our services — academic tutoring, test prep and college application consulting.

More: The 8 bad dreams your kids are most likely having ... explained

What does “tiger mom” actually mean to you, and what would you say to parents who pick up your mom’s book as a how-to?

Being a tiger mom means believing your child is capable of absolutely anything she puts her mind to and empowering her to tackle any challenge in her path. Growing up, I saw friends' parents say, "Good job, honey! You did the best you could. I guess you're just not a math person." These parents meant well, but what they were telling their kids — usually daughters, interestingly enough — was that certain doors were fundamentally closed to them. That may feel good in the short term, but in the long term it's the opposite of empowering.

If we may be so forward, what’s your plan for your own kids — should you have any! What will you crib from your mom versus what will you throw out . Or do you even know yet?!

I'll definitely keep the high expectations — look out for my future multilingual, concert violinist, Little League stars — only kind of kidding — but I'll build in more time for relaxation as well. My mom is a human Energizer Bunny. Once she gets excited about something, she won't stop or sleep until it's done. I can be intense in short bursts, but I think people need breaks to stay sane. Also, people need little things to look forward to, like a movie or a great dinner at the end of the day.

Jim Bob and Michelle are touting a new app put together by the Uncommen organization aiming to remind men how not to be jerks to their wives and kids.

"When men win, we don't have to build as many shelters for abandoned families, or pay the psychological and emotional toll for fatherless kids, or care for so many abused and neglected wives," the group claims on their website.

Jim Bob and Michelle even filmed a promo video for the group, perhaps hoping some of the tips would rub off on their son Josh, who is currently in a faith-based rehab center after admitting to molesting five girls, including his own sisters, and cheating on his wife Anna.

Sounds pretty good, right? Unfortunately, some of the advice may leave you with a raised eyebrow because of the implications of rigid gender roles — totally unsurprising for something the Duggars are involved in.

More: Leader of Duggar family ministry sued for sexual abuse

Some of the commenters on the Duggar family blog had similar sentiments. One wrote, "The name UNCOMMEN implies most men are not good leaders, dads, and husbands. I disagree. It's more common to be a good parent/husband. The Duggars really need to learn their noses belong on their face, not other people's business." [sic]

Another: "I was actually quite offended by this. Perhaps this is more telling of Jim Bob's character than he's previously led on. The overwhelming majority of men are wonderful men, parents, and husbands, and for him to think differently explains a lot about what he truly feels in his heart. I'm saddened by this and I don't think I'm alone." [sic]

And yet another: "Wow — I'm dumb founded. Men need an app to make them good parents and husbands. Maybe Jim Bob is finally telling us that he was never a good father or husband. Because my husband doesn't need an app to tell him when to take pictures of our children or help them with their homework. Parenting is not the sole role of the mother, but maybe really feels this way. Are we finally seeing his true self." [sic]

Although this piece of advice is actually pretty great:

What do you think of the Duggars' support of Uncommen? Tell us in the comments below.

I must say I was ill-prepared for the end, because in the end only her middle finger remained and she was saying something like, "I killed so-and-so because he showed me this finger."

More: How to encourage your kids to be tech savvy and safe

And then she went on to explain to me that the finger meant "f*cker." She also made it clear to me that it's a "very bad word" — apparently that's why the person who pointed the finger was killed in the game. In addition, she used a highly conspiratorial tone — a tone that kids use to share top secrets!

To be truthful, I was always expecting something like this. After all, it's a fact that most of what children learn will be picked up from the playground. Most of them are "discoveries" they make.

The trouble starts only when the "discoveries" never make their way back to us — the parents.

Often parents very easily enjoy a seamless channel of communication with their young children. Somehow, that's lost when the children approach adolescence. Many parents face an overwhelming fear of losing that connection with their teen.

More: If you want respect from your tween, you have to respect them, too

One of the reasons is that parents have a hard time figuring out what's going on in their teen's brain, as I write on my blog. They feel they are dealing with an imposter in their child's body. The changes are real and they behave the way they do for a reason.

And then, there are the kids themselves, who are dealing with feelings hitherto unknown to them. Their bodies are changing, their brains are changing, their friends are changing, their entire world is changing. They are fighting to create an identity for themselves. Most don't even know if what they are feeling is normal and who to talk to.

Of course, they will eventually find out — parents or not. Here are some ways to ensure that your teenager comes to you first — at least in difficult times.

1. Start early

Reveal age-appropriate information to kids from an early age. Do not hesitate to give out information, especially when it concerns their body parts.

2. Establish openness

Most parents (quite naturally) feel that talking about sex with their adolescent implicitly means they are encouraging sexual activity. However, several studies reveal that teens who have open conversations with their parents about sex are more likely to delay sexual activity and practice safer sex.

3. Make use of occasions

Use occasions like "bra-shopping" or "period-talk" as a great opportunity for one of the "big talk" moments. However, do not by any means limit your conversation to just this occasion. Try and weave it into everyday discussions just to remove the awkwardness of the topic.

4. Avoid euphemisms

Using real names of body parts, instead of euphemisms like "pee-pee," "wee-wee," etc. is shown to promote positive body-image. Children need to be able to talk about it without feeling ashamed or embarrassed. Plus, it prevents danger in the form of sexual abuse at many levels when they are well-informed.

5. Be good role models

The kids are watching you. So set them a good example. They need to see that showing affection is a very positive thing. Witnessing appropriate physical affection between parents promotes a very healthy image in their minds — resulting in stable, engaging relationships with their spouses. Exchanging spontaneous hugs, little love notes, quick pecks and warm compliments in front of the kids is a good thing. Amy Morin, teen counseling expert, recommends that parents demonstrate positive aspects of sex to help the child cope with their changing selves better.

Lastly, say the words "I love you" often.

More: The one major thing saving my long-distance relationship

The truth is, sharing a bed for the rest of your life really isn't easy. My husband and I have been together 15 years and spent 99 percent of those nights in the same bed, save for business trips and when I have traveled. So I know a thing or two about this. When we first got together, we had an old king bed, but when we got our first place together, we downsized to a full. We slept on that full for 13 years. Through two kids. Through three moves. That was our bed. It was tiny and I thought it was wonderful that we were so close to each other.

Until we got our temperpedic King. How did I ever live without this baby?!

Now at night we barely even see one another. It's like we are in different zip codes. When the kids and the animals pile in our bed (we have three kids and five pets), we still feel like there is plenty of room. And yet, my husband still steals all the covers. He steals them and then he sleeps on top of them. Grrrr. Suffice it to say, I know the pain of bed sharing.

I think this is genius. He needs to market this stat. I think he has a real opportunity here. Saving marriages, one laser at a time.

But unlike Big Ang's ongoing health problems, Drita D'Avanzo made her problems for herself: According to TMZ, she's been arrested for assault.

According to the gossip site, D'Avanzo was taken into custody Tuesday after she allegedly beat up another woman on a sidewalk in Staten Island. TMZ reportedly has sources in the New York Police Department, who told the site that D'Avanzo got into a "verbal dispute" with the other woman, which apparently got heated and escalated very quickly until D'Avanzo started throwing punches. TMZ reports she landed a few of them.

The site also says that the fight had pretty much worked itself out by the time police arrived on the scene, but D'Avanzo was taken into custody and booked. She was cited with misdemeanor assault, which is a pretty minor charge compared to how things could have gone in that situation.

D'Avanzo seems pretty nonplussed about the whole thing. She hasn't made any public mention about her arrest, and although she's tweeted several times since she was released from police custody, it's been to discuss her jewelry and a makeup party event that she's hosting at her store this weekend.

Meanwhile, fellow Mob Wives star Big Ang just revealed that her cancer has spread and she's fighting it in her brain and lungs. Her family is working on raising money for her treatments, even though Ang reportedly told Radar Online just weeks ago that she was in remission, and her frequent hospital visits were only for routine testing.

A source says that Elba has moved out of the London flat he shared with makeup artist Naiyana Garth and their son just days after he was seen partying with Campbell at the New York City hotspot 1 Oak, then leaving together.

"It ended very recently and it's too soon for her to talk about it," an insider told The Sun. "They've kept it very quiet so she's surprised people know already.

"It's very sad that this has happened while Idris is experiencing the highest points of his professional career and they can't celebrate it with each other."

More: Naomi Campbell is the latest celeb to go topless on Instagram (PHOTO)

Rumors started flying about the status of Elba's relationship when he showed up at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Jan. 30 with his teen daughter from his first marriage rather than Garth.

Then, at Sunday night's British Film Awards, he neglected to thank Garth during his acceptance speech for his win for Best Actor in Beasts of No Nation. When asked if he was in fact single and ready to mingle, he replied cryptically, "That's the media for you."

Reps for both Elba and Campbell have not commented on the rumors, but Campbell may have left some Twitter clues to the mystery. First, she tweeted this congratulatory message after Elba's SAG win, complete with kisses:

On its face, the study does present a shocking finding worthy of all the media buzz it's been getting, but when you actually look more closely at the study itself you see what a mess it is. I don't even need to go into any psychological research jargon to explain where the first major problem lies. Just using common logic, it makes it's claim based on the movies Enough (2002), Sleeping with the Enemy (1991), There's Something About Mary (1998) and Management (2008) — which had an American box office total of $375,916, so I can safely say that nobody actually saw it. Is it too much to ask that the study be done with films from this decade?

How about we show Bridesmaids (2011) about women freaking out over weddings like men used to in the '90s? This film illustrates the idea that women are the romantic decision makers (which is true) and is a female driven rom-com that exemplifies a more realistic view of women's autonomy. Or Enough Said (2013) about what happens when you realize love doesn't last forever. Better yet, let's show Ruby Sparks (2012). In this film, a male writer creates his perfect woman only to find that she doesn't want to be his dream girl, because there isn't one.

But in this study, the researcher grabbed a few film clips from antiquated films that would never see the light of day today because of their out-of-touch messages (with the exception of There's Something About Mary, because that film is always funny). She then showed just those clips that supported her argument (the argument being that women are cool with men who stalk them as long as it's for love). After viewing the selected clips, the group of women were asked questions about how they felt.

In psychology we call that priming. OK, I know I said no psych jargon, but there are a few terms we need to throw around here. Priming is when you manipulate a person or a group of people so that they conclude what you want them to.

This is also referred to as, "demand characteristics," which happens when the participant tries to interpret, just by the stimuli (the film clips), what the researchers want from them. If I said, "Imagine a CEO of a Fortune 500 company, $6.4 billion dollar acquisition creator, Obama appointee and Exxon oil board member" you may deduce that I’m trying to get you to think about an older white male who looks a lot like Patrick Stewart, and then you will respond accordingly, unless you realize I'm actually talking about Ursula Burns, an African-American female who has run Xerox since 2009.

The report also shows a lack of understanding about Millennials who, time after time, psychologists have found have a much more female-friendly, forward-thinking and enlightened view of marriage, a more egalitarian view of courting and a very low tolerance for some of the antiquated ideals that their grandparents held, which are the sorts of themes portrayed in movies from the '90s.

It's distressing and disappointing as a psychologist to read research like this. It seems to be a case of: I get you to say what I want and then I publish what you’ve said for the narrative that suits my agenda. These types of cherry-picked findings are patently offensive because, in toto, they are not a study, but a magic trick.

Nicole is one such dermatillomania sufferer, and she eloquently describes what life is like with this psychological disorder in the video below. One of the most poignant statements she makes is, "My skin is like a suit. I see my skin as something I can make into something else." Essentially what she's saying is that she's never OK to just leave her skin alone — it's a malleable thing with which she's never satisfied.

More: I pull my hair out... and I can't stop

According to SkinPick, a website dedicated to people with dermatillomania, the disorder is on the spectrum with other obsessive compulsive disorders. Many do it as a result of anxiety, excitement or even just boredom. For some, the behavior can get so bad at times that it causes permanent scarring.

Nicole's skin picking began like many others who suffer from the condition — with the onset of acne during puberty. She describes the feeling as a need to get the acne out of her body. And the compulsion just grew from there. Now she picks at skin all over her body, from her shoulders to her cuticles to her lips. Is this ringing true for anyone else?

While it is difficult to determine exactly how much of the world has dermatillomania because so many people are ashamed of it and thus keep it hidden, recent studies average it at around 2 – 3 percent. Like other OCDs, it's often linked with poor coping skills, but there is also a strong hereditary component. And not surprisingly, women are six times as likely to suffer from it as men are.

Like Nicole, for most skin pickers, the behavior is involuntary. Most are usually not aware their doing it, because, similar to people with restless leg syndrome, it's simply the way their bodies choose to deal with pent-up energy.

In the spirit of this video, I will admit I suffer from skin picking, and have since I was 12. It began just like Nicole's did, out of a need to rid my body of acne. However, it then became a destructive way to self-soothe. It feels good to pick, especially when I'm super stressed out for one reason or another. When I was in college, I bit my cuticles until they were bloody and didn't realize how bad it looked until someone pointed it out. Even now that I'm aware it's a mental disorder, I don't really see it as something that needs to be addressed, because it has such a minimal effect on me overall. The scary thing is, I've heard girls with anorexia and bulimia say exactly the same thing.

More: No, I won't shut up about how my kid has OCD

If you think you might suffer from dermatillomania, the first thing you need to realize is that you're definitely not alone. You'd be surprised how many of your close friends may suffer from it too, and the first step to recovery is to talk about it openly. Like any addiction, it is hard to curb, but medication, support groups and daily awareness can definitely help. And as Nicole said, it may be a part of who you are, but it's not who you are.

In case you haven’t heard, there was earth-shattering news released today, and the Harry Potter fandom has been responding appropriately and accordingly.

The eighth story in the most ubiquitous tale in most of our childhoods will officially be published in book form and released on July 31, which any Potterhead worth their salt knows is a very important day — Harry’s (and JK’s!) birthday.

This date is doubly important in that it is the day after the official opening of the play in London, which means the chance for spoilers from those of us not lucky enough to live there or see it live will be drastically reduced.

This is a huge relief to fans, as many were left with mixed emotions when news broke that the expansion of the Harry Potter series would in fact only be confined to the stage, so an official date for the book's release has us all breathing a little easier.

The president of Scholastic Trade, Ellie Berger, said in a press release, "As the U.S. print publisher, Scholastic introduced Harry Potter and J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World to American readers nearly 20 years ago and experienced firsthand the anticipation and excitement of the publication of each of the books over the years. We are thrilled to publish Harry Potter and the Cursed Child this summer."

Anticipation and excitement? That's the understatement of the century.

The first seven books have sold more than 400 million copies worldwide, but this will be unlike any of the others. The publication will be not in novel form but rather the actual script of the play. The two-part stage production is a collaboration of our favorite wizard creator "Herself," J.K. Rowling, and theater stalwarts Jack Thorne and John Tiffany.

It will be a unique publication of the story, dubbed the Special Rehearsal Edition, and will contain the play as it was in early editions of the script, meaning changes may be made to it for actual production.

A "Definitive Collector's Edition" will be published at a later date and will contain the final script as it was performed onstage. In addition to the first copies published by Scholastic in the States (and the Little, Brown Book Group in the U.K.), Pottermore will be releasing a digital version, allowing fans in other countries to have access to it upon release as well.

The book will tell the tale of Harry and his children 19 years after the final battle. It will be the "untold part" of the chosen one's life, showing him as an overworked Ministry employee and a father. As Harry sees two of his children off to Hogwarts, the youngest, Albus, "stuggle[s] with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness come from unexpected places."

Jamie Parker, who was seen in The History Boys and Valkyrie, has been cast as Harry. Ron will be played by Paul Thornley, which caused quite a stir some weeks ago. Noma Dumezweni will be Hermione, a choice that was considered "controversial," as Dumezweni is black, leading many on the Internet to call her "black Hermione" instead of something more appropriate, like... maybe just grown-up Hermione?

The news of a publication date has fans on the edge of their seats, biting their nails and anxiously waiting for summer's arrival. Meanwhile, if you need me, I'll be picking out which robe I'll be wearing to the midnight release party.

More: Brandi Glanville has a nasty nickname for Lisa Vanderpump

After the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills revealed that Jayne wasn't being exactly honest with some of the other Housewives, Edwards took to her blog to express her feelings about the whole situation.

As usual, there was some Housewife drama going on, but Jayne exacerbated it by telling a blatant lie to Yolanda Foster about other cast members talking about her kids.

"Clearly, a lot of shit has started, and if everyone is honest and owns their share in it, we should be able to move on and put it past us... that wasn't the case," Edwards wrote. "I was really surprised to see Erika blatantly lying about it... why? Why not just own it and move on? She has to know it's going to come out sooner or later. I usually think I get a good read on people, and I wouldn't have pegged Erika for being this way. It makes me question whether she has any intention of being friends with us... we'll see. I hope I'm wrong with what I saw tonight."

That wasn't all that Edwards had to say about Jayne. Is there a feud brewing between those two?

"Erika has a lot to say about us behind our backs," Edwards continued. "It's ironic to me that she said that all of us old ladies talk about each other's husbands, kids, health, etc. I haven't said one word about any of those topics, and what I have said to anyone has been to their face, but Erika has indulged in some chatter. I don't pull punches, I'm very straightforward until I see some bullshit and then, please, let me call you on it."

It's not news that Moore has been considering getting pregnant while she's single. She hasn't found anyone to settle down with and she's long expressed her desire to be a mom.

She recently revealed in an interview with Bravo that despite scheduling conflicts, she plans to keep her role on The Real Housewives of Atlanta and still pursue her baby dreams.

"You know, you have to be on a schedule, and you have to be tested at a very specific time," she explained about the in-vitro process. "And it just never worked out while I was filming, and so I just decided to do it while I’m not [filming], and we’ll see. Kandi [Burruss] did it while she wasn’t filming, and I figured this is the best way for me to do it."

But now, The Inquisitr reports that Moore has a new boyfriend named Matt Jordan, and that may throw a kink into her plans.

"It’s going well," Moore revealed of her new relationship. "I have learned from my mistakes, and I definitely just go one step at a time. I don’t try to dream anymore, I just live in the moment, and it just seems to be working for me right now. I do have his social security number. He’s been background checked."

But 44-year-old Moore could very well be proceeding with her baby plans, with or without Jordan's involvement. She doesn't have a lot of time to wait and Jordan could, understandably, be reluctant about having a baby with someone he's in a pretty new relationship with.

Read the full excerpt from Legend:

He throws me a set of gloves. I put one on, and then struggle with the other one. “Here. I’ll do yours,” he says.

I’m nervous when we stand so close. I could touch him from here. His hands wrap the glove around my wrist, and I’m vulnerable and feel like rambling, even though I don’t like to talk a lot.

He’s watching me.

He turns away, exhales softly, then stalks to the bags. I see his tattoo again, amazed by how much of his back it covers. A massive bird with its wings outstretched spreads out toward his shoulder blades, the tail trailing down Maverick’s spine. Some sort of ominous black shape sits on the bird’s back, while fire consumes the tips of the bird’s feathers.

I feel as if he’s giving me something. A glimpse of something no one in the gym has ever seen. I stare at it, thirsty for it, my eyes taking in every inch of that tattoo while the muscles of Maverick’s back work beneath it.

He’s punching.

He seethes with energy, mounting with every hit.

It’s just me in the gym.

And Maverick.

And my dirty thoughts about Maverick.

I hate the thought and scowl at myself.

But there is no extra space in the whole gym. It seems like he takes up more than his body occupies—a world more.

When he shifts to hit the bag on the other side, the bird’s wings flare with every ripple of his back muscles as he slams the punching bag. Pow, wham, pow.

I decide to test myself against a speed bag, all the while wondering where he gets the force that drives him.

I work out on the bag for about half an hour, then come settle down on the bench closest to him and lie down on my side and sigh, close my eyes in exhaustion, and hear silence.

I open my eyes, and he’s staring at me with the most puzzled expression. He looks away and exhales.

When he starts back up, his hits become fiercer. I’m feeling agitated. My brain fixating on the way he moves. The lock of hair that falls on his forehead when he slams. The way he braces his feet and swings. The look on his face that makes me imagine him being this concentrated doing something else.

Doing something to me.

Oh god, this is not what I meant when I signed up for a Summer to a Better Reese.

I get up on my feet, surprised that my body feels as substantial as liquid. “I’m going to leave, I have somewhere I need to be.”

His eyes slide to me in surprise, and suddenly, blatantly, his gaze dips downward and he stares at a spot of sweat under my throat, above and centered between my breasts. He scans my chest and then jerks his eyes upward, with a flash of frustration sparking in their depths. “I’m staying until I’m worn.”

Did he just check out my breasts?

Right in front of me?

“Okay. I’ll . . . see you. I guess. Teach me how to remove the first glove with both on?”

I walk over to get him to show me, but oh. Mistake. He smells delicious. Of sweat and guy. Like he just took a shower and now with the heat of his body, his soap and shampoo smell strongest.

I inhale deeply, looking at his face to see him staring at me.

God, did he notice?

For a moment there, I think I see heat in his eyes.

He speaks then, his voice low. “Use your teeth on the Velcro. Tuck the glove under your other arm and pull your hand free.”

I try it, tightening the glove under my arm as I pull, and manage to succeed. “Oh. Neat trick.”

I go hang up the gloves and hear him start punching again as I leave. I step out of the gym and look inside, but the windows are frosted, blocking him from view.

More: Gilmore Girls star's cryptic Instagram post has fans freaking out (PHOTO)

It appears Ventimiglia is ready to reprise his role. Alongside a photo of the Gilmore Girls revival script, he wrote, "What a great time to get back on set with some friends. #JessIsBack" Yes, he is. Yes, he is.

So, what does this mean for Rory and her other exes? As previously reported, Matt Czuchry is returning as Logan Huntzberger, which means Rory could end up with either Logan or Jess. However, when the series returns, creator Amy Sherman-Palladino teased to TV Line that Rory is "single in the sense that she’s not married. But she’s dating like any young woman with that face would be." Really, Rory could end up with anyone at this point.

Does that mean Rory might even fall back in love with her first boyfriend Dean, played by Jared Padalecki? As of right now, nothing has been announced either way about Dean's fate. That said, based on what Sherman-Palladino told TV Line, he might not even return at all.

"Our plan is to get as many of the lovely men back as possible," Sherman-Palladino said. "We’ve also had certain storylines we had to [tweak] because, apparently, there are still budgetary restrictions in Hollywood. I don’t understand that. I sort of feel like, 'This is the story I want to tell, and somebody should just pay for it.'" She then added, "Apparently, it doesn’t work like that. Very irritating. So, certain storylines — one of which involved one of the boys — had been taken out of our hands. We’re still dealing with who’s going to be in it. We definitely want to see them. And we have storylines planned. I just need someone to tell me they’re going to show up."

Hmm... that sounds like one of the boys won't be part of the revival, right? Seeing as both Logan and Jess are back, does that mean Dean is the one getting cut? If that definitely is the case, that is a bummer, especially for Dean fans. Basically, Rory and Dean shippers' hearts will be break if they don't see the two reunite.

Nothing is official, so Dean could easily show up in Stars Hollow. If not, at least Gilmore Girls fans will see Jess and Logan, right?

More: Gwen Stefani excites fans with details on her forthcoming album (PHOTO)

The album art for Stefani's soon-to-be-released solo album — her first in 10 years — was just revealed, and it includes a very sneaky jab at her ex-husband Gavin Rossdale.

The cover features a gorgeous close-up photo of Stefani looking just as perfect as she always does, with one hand resting against her face. The photo is finished with illustrations that look like doodles: hearts and flowers in Stefani's hair, black tears running down her face. And, in the corner, a ring drawn on her finger with a frowny face connected to it by an arrow.

More: Gwen Stefani received the "best present ever" from Blake Shelton (PHOTO)

The not-so-subtle shade is undoubtedly aimed at Rossdale, who allegedly cheated on Stefani with their nanny before they split last October. Even though Stefani appears to have moved on and then some with her new beau, Blake Shelton, who can blame her for having some lingering hurt feelings left over from the end of her 13-year marriage?

And even though the dis is there, Stefani (or her publicist) seems to want to keep it a private joke — even though the album cover went live today, the ring and frowny face are covered up by a sticker.

Stefani is likely to use some of her new music to get back at Rossdale, too. Her first single from the new album, "Used to Love You," is an instant classic breakup jam. No wonder, since she wrote it in the wake of her divorce. Here's hoping the rest of the album will give us more of the same, because all those hurt feelings have already made for some great music.
