VIDEO Al Roker pooped his pants at White House

This one’s coming straight to you from the investigative journalist file as Dateline dug deep to reveal that Al Roker pooped his pants while at the White House. Now this is news!

Roker was chatting up the effects of his gastric bypass surgery when he went serious information overload by revealing an accidental #2 while in the nation’s capitol.

You see, Al was working an event at Barack’s pad when he felt a need to let his turtle burp. That turtle had a mind of it’s own as it crept out a little bit too far. Roker strolled away in embarrassment. Heck, let’s let Al tell the rest of this touching story of innocence lost:

Roker: “When you’ve had a bypass and your bowels have been reconstructed, you think you’re pretty safe and I probably went off and ate something I wasn’t supposed to. And as I’m walking to the press room, [I'm thinking] well, I gotta pass a little gas here. I’m walking by myself. Who’s gonna know? Only a little something extra came out.”

Dateline: “You pooped in your pants.”

Al: “I pooped my pants. Not horribly, but enough that I knew…”

Dateline: “Which is a common side effect of the surgery…”

Al: “Exactly. And so, I was panicking, so I got to the restroom in the press room, threw out the underwear and went commando.”

In the end what proceeded to happen to Al’s end ended up to be pretty endearing. What I love is that some White House staff member had to have found Roker’s dirty drawers. Now that should require some secret service investigations.

Gage Golightly (Erica) not returning for Teen Wolf Season 3

Fans of MTV’s breakout supernatural scripted series Teen Wolf have another character that won’t be returning for Season 3 when it airs this summer. In addition to the hunky Colton Haynes departing (SEASON 2 SPOILER ALERT) after his character Jackson Whittemore was killed off in last season’s finale, the show will also be diminished in babeness because Gage Golightly (who plays sexy blonde Erica) will not be back either.

There were rumors swirling about Golightly’s departure for some time, and Teen Wolf Wikia admin Paul.rea had had enough. He contacted Golightly’s agent asking for an interview and received this response from her manager:

“Hi Paul –

Kim Callahan here, Gage’s manager.

Gage isn’t doing any press right now and is no longer on TEEN WOLF series either so not doing any press or interviews for the show.

Thanks for reaching out though!

Kim”

That sounds pretty definitive! Seemingly confirming the news was Golightly’s (former?) co-star Stephen Lunsford, who was asked this question on his Tumblr blog: “you wouldn’t happen to know anything about Gage not coming back for TW this season, would you? bc wow I’m sad.” To which Lunsford responded by writing, “I know she isn’t, but I thought that was old news.”

A commenter with the user name TheUnknownVoiceWithReason seemed to sum up male Teen Wolf fan perspective perfectly:

This is freakin crazy man! I’m losing all the characters I just got interested in. Every big speculation is totally blown now. Those speculations were “What’s going to happen to Boyd and Erica” and “What’s next for Jackson now that he’s a werewolf?” Both question are GONE as in GONE GONE. And she was sooooo hot! I mean we still have Lydia, but Erica was some hot stuff I’m just saying! SMH.

Meanwhile, the the cast and crew of Teen Wolf that are returning for Season 3 began shooting in December and shared this Teen Wolf Season 3 preview video:

“Welcome to Season 3 of Teen Wolf, first day of filming! Merry Christmas,” says Tyler Posey at the beginning of the clip. Joining Posey in the beginning are co-stars Dylan O’Brien and Tyler Hoechlin. Later we get to see Miss California 2007 Meagan Tandy as well as new Teen Wolf cast members Charlie Carver and Max Carver, who will be playing twin brothers Ethan and Aiden

Big Jim's View: Moms Shouldn't Talk Like Their Teenagers! [POLL]

My significant other keeps talking like her teenagers. She’s 40! It drives me crazy! She thinks she’s being a “cool mom” and staying up with the times saying things are SICK, DANK and FILTHY. But the proof that she knows it’s weird is the fact that she won’t say those words in front of her friends!

First it was moms dressing like their teenagers. Now it’s moms TALKING like their teenagers!

What do you think?

'The Office' Final Season: Is Steve Carell "Unlikely" to Return?

NBC

While everyone has their own opinion of the direction NBC’s ‘The Office‘ has taken in the years without Steve Carell, as the series approaches its final swan song most would agree any finale would feel incomplete without Carell’s character Michael Scott returning for one final “that’s what she said.” So while we move closer to ‘The Office’s ninth season and series finale, will Steve Carell return? NBC chairman Bob Greenblatt has an answer that might surprise you, so check out the new details inside!

Few would argue that ‘The Office’ will come to a merciful end after its ninth and current season, others believing the series should have said goodbye after Steve Carell’s season 7 departure. Regardless, the question remains if Carell would make even a brief appearance toward the series finale, but one NBC chairman Bob Greenblatt didn’t seem terribly optimistic about at the Television Critics Association press tour:

I’m hopeful but I don’t think he will be back. He left in the way that he wanted that character to leave, and I think he and Greg [Daniels] have talked about it and I don’t think he’ll be back.

There’s maybe a little Hail Mary pass on a cameo, but I think the decision is that it’ll go out without him rather than compromising his exit.

That attitude seems to have changed somewhat since executive producer and show-runner Greg Daniels spoke to The Hollywood Reporter in August, saying “We have ideas for the ending, and obviously if he would participate, we would have a lot of good times. The idea will fly without him if he can’t make it.”

What say you? Does ‘The Office’s series finale, likely set to air in May, need an appearance from Steve Carell’s Michael Scott? Give us your opinion in the comments!

Shahs of Sunset’s Mercedes MJ Javid convicted of bank fraud in 1994

Shahs of Sunset star Mercedes “MJ” Javid spends a lot of time sporting designer duds and hanging out with her wealthy pals, but this reality star/real estate agent fashionista has also spent a little time in the big house!

According to documents obtained by Radar Online, Mercedeh Christine Javid (Mercedes’ real name) almost missed out on her dream career when she was denied a real estate license back in 2003 because of her prior conviction. On the documents Mercedes’ transgression was described as “a crime involving moral turpitude and one which is substantially related to the qualifications, functions, and duties of a real estate salesperson.”

In December of 1990, at the age of 18, Mercedes was “employed as a bank teller at Home Savings in Beverly Hills when she was approached by four men who asked her to take part in a fraud scheme.” Mercedes allegedly turned down the offer initially, but after the men threatened her, her father, and her boyfriend, she finally agreed. According to the documents she then made several deposits for the men, which added up to over $100,000. It is VERY important to point out that Mercedes reportedly received ZERO compensation for her role in the fraud.

By the time the bank found out about the illegal activity, Mercedes had stopped showing up for work. It wasn’t until three years later, in 1994, that she finally plead guilty to bank fraud. As a result for her behavior, Mercedes spent one month behind bars, served five months of house arrest, and paid $10,000 in restitution.

Mercedes eventually got her real estate license, but it didn’t come easy. She had to complete her probation, participate in community service, get a college degree, and in addition to that, she was even required to have her supervisors at her real estate firm where she worked write letters regarding “her dedication, hard work, maturity and trustworthiness.”

That’s the magic of reality television! Pretty much every person on the planet has an amazing story! Congratulations to Mercedes on overcoming what sounds like a pretty terrifying ordeal and then doing whatever was necessary (within the confines of the law of course) to achieve her goals any way.
