'Once Upon a Time' Recap: Red Takes On the Big, Bad Wolf

S1E15: The essence of all fairytales involves risking everything in the name of true love. Whether it entails battling a few dragons or defeating an evil queen, the main purpose is to find that happily ever after. But unlike most story books, Once Upon a Time removes the damsel in distress factor and grants heroic acts to its female characters as well as its male ones. On this show, women are the dominant force to be reckoned with and continually provide most of the action for the entire plot. Thus far, this characteristic has mostly been seen in Snow White and the many obstacles she's faced in order to be with Prince Charming. However, it seems to be a common trait shared among many women on the show -- in both the real and fantasy worlds.

In this episode, we delve deeper into the background of Ruby/Red Riding Hood, who also isn't afraid of going after what she wants. Though earlier episodes showed us that she and Snow White were friends, we hadn't yet learned how the two of them met in the first place. But don't be misled, this isn't a simple tale of friendship. In fact, the episode offered an array of twists that left even the most savy Once fans profoundly stumped and concerned for their fictional friends. But that's the whole reason we love the show in the first place -- nothing is ever as it seems, especially when there's a big, bad wolf in town

Nude Pics of 'Glee''s Heather Morris Surface Online

Hollywood is experiencing a nude photo epidemic, with risqué shots of Blake Lively, Scarlett Johansson, Olivia Munn, andChristina Hendricks surfacing in the last year. A surprising number of actresses spend their spare time snapping photos of themselves in various states of undress, and a handful of sleazy hackers will stop at nothing to pry the images out of their phones. The latest victim: Glee's Heather Morris.

Morris posed for some professional nude shots before appearing on the hit FOX show, but it seems the 27 photos that just went up online were plucked from her cell phone. A woman who closely resembles McKinley High's ditzy cheerleader is shown in her underwear, with her breasts and crotch exposed in some images. Morris has yet to comment, but a shot of her posing in her "I'm a Slave 4 U" getup from the show suggests that at least some of the photos are real.

In these situations stars are typically admonished for taking racy cell phone pics in the first place. However, we should probably reserve our judgment for the creeps who keep routing through their phones and humiliating them online.

Britney Wants $20 Million to Judge 'X Factor'

Since judges Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul have both exited The X Factor, FOX has been searching for a replacement. And since rival singing shows The Voice and American Idol have enlisted the help of Christina Aguilera and Jennifer Lopez, a pop princess is in order. Britney Spears certainly fits the bill, but if the network wants a piece of her, they'll have to pay up. Britney reportedly rejected a $10 million offer to appear on the judge's panel of Simon Cowell's show, and now her camp says she won't take the job for less than $20 million.

For a sense of just how big that salary is, NBC is paying Christina Aguilera a little over $10 million and Paula Abdul made a measly (by comparison) $2.5 million to judge the first season of The X Factor. According to Forbes, Brit earned $10 million in 2011, making her one of the highest-paid women in music. For a look at how Britney will stack up if she takes theX Factor gig, check out our gallery of TV's highest earners.

Joss Whedon: 'Avengers' Sequel Inspired by 'Godfather 2'?

With superheroes from the last few summer blockbusters joining forces, there's no way The Avengers won't be a hit. That's why it's no surprise that director Joss Whedon is already talking sequel plans, though the film won't be released until May 4. 

So how's he planning to top the first film? "By not trying to," he tells SFX UK. "By being smaller. More personal, more painful."

That's the exact opposite of the formula followed by most comic book movies these days. However, Whedon says that rather than simply adding bigger explosions and a new bad guy, he intends to show, "the next thing that should happen to these characters, and not just a rehash of what seemed to work the first time. By having a theme that is completely fresh and organic to itself." 

Whedon also joked that he's taking some inspiration from The Godfather, Part II, one of the greatest sequels of all time, and adding flashbacks to Michael Corleone's youth. He explained, "Sequels are always better when that happens." 

While he's at it, he might as well have Yoda teach Tony Stark some new moves.

'Shameless' Recap: Mommy's Back!

S2E9: The true test of a great TV family is that moment when you realize your hopes for their success is just as ardent as the brothers’, sisters’, fathers’ and mothers’ themselves. Shameless has clearly passed that test. Not only do we hope with every fiber of our beings for the Gallaghers to find even an iota of happiness or respite, but when their mother finally returns “for good” we can’t help but hope, maybe harder than they do, that this time, for good actually means permanently. Experience tells us it won’t last, but it doesn’t change that temporary optimism. 

'Bond' Girl Naomie Harris to Play Winnie Mandela in Biopic?

It was announced in December that Idris Elba was the big name circling the role of Nelson Mandela in a new biopic project. Anyone familiar with Elba's work would call that a win. But this next bit of casting is sure to be called a winnie!

Naomie Harris has been named as a possible casting choice for Winnie Mandela, the South African president's second wife of thirty-nine years. This is the second big role to which Harris has become attached recently, after her introduction into the James Bond universe with the upcoming film Skyfall.

Just as Nelson Mandela has had a wide array of actors embodying him over the years, Winnie herself has enjoyed a variety of portrayers, including Jennifer Hudson, Sophie Okonedo and Faith Ndukwana. 

Additionally, production is seeking Justin Chadwick (The Other Boleyn Girl) to direct.

Bobbi Kristina's Interview With Oprah: All the Details

It's been exactly one month since Whitney Houston's tragic death and daughter Bobbi Kristina is dealing with it the best way she can. The 19-year-old recently sat down with Oprah Winfrey in a pre-taped interview on Oprah's Next Chapter (viaEntertainment Weekly) and discussed what life's been like without her beloved mother.

And while it's been a tough road to travel, Bobbi Kristina stated she’s “doing as good as I possibly can” and recalled the happier times they spent together, saying, "She's always with me. Her spirit is strong, it’s a strong spirit. I feel her pass through me all the time.” But sometimes even the good memories aren't enough to keep the sad ones at bay, admitting the sadness "comes in waves." 

"One moment I can be happy and laughing, but then it comes over me. It’s my mom." And while she's still taking some time to cope, Bobbi Kristina admitted she plans to carry on her mother's legacy and become a singer.

But for now, she's spending some time in the house she and her mother shared together, and she revealed how hard it is to believe Houston's no longer there. “Sometimes, it’s so surreal. I still walk into the house like, ‘Mom?’” she said. “But I’ve accepted it.”

Houston's manager and sister-in-law, Patricia Houston, was also present during the interview and revealed that in the days before Houston's death, the singer had not been abusing drugs, despite what reports claim. In fact, she shared Houston had "a peaceful look on her face" after her body was discovered.

The 90-minute television special also touched on the singer’s ex-husband, Bobby Brown and the rumors surrounding his relationship with the family. Both Pat and Houston's brother Gary denied harboring any bad feelings toward Brown and that he'd always been invited to attend the funeral (rumors had previously circulated that the family didn't want Brown in attendance).

All-in-all, the family is dealing with the loss as well as can be expected and we wish them all the best.
