Now isn't it rather fitting that Grimm returns from hiatus tonight on Friday the 13th? Yes, it is. Tonight's episode is "Game Ogre" (TV-14):
A string of brutal murders lead Nick and Hank to a man who recently escaped prison.
This week’s Quickfire is all about awareness in the kitchen. The chefs will have 30 minutes to create a dish of their choosing, but this is no ordinary Quickfire. Once time begins, various ingredients will start to come into the kitchen via a train. The chefs must select ingredients coming into the kitchen via train and create a dish incorporating the best of these ingredients. For the elimination challenge, the chefs embody evil on the plate and serve a gothic feast fit for a queen. This dish should demonstrate various cooking techniques, textures and flavors, but more importantly, the diners should visually see the “evil” components on the dish. Actress Charlize Theron, who plays the Evil Queen in the film Snow White & The Huntsman guest judges, along with Emeril Lagasse, head judge Tom Colicchio, and host Padma Lakshmi.
is a Goldilocks offering in the same line of fairy tale books as last week's brunette Cinderella. This one has the same author but a different illustrator however. It's a fine version of the story, especially for its intended audience of young children, but nothing spectacular either.

Il y avait une fois un prince qui voulait épouser une princesse, mais une princesse véritable. Il fit donc le tour du monde pour en trouver une, et, à la vérité, les princesses ne manquaient pas ; mais il ne pouvait jamais s’assurer si c’étaient de véritables princesses ; toujours quelque chose en elles lui paraissait suspect. En conséquence, il revint bien affligé de n’avoir pas trouvé ce qu’il désirait jusqu'a ce qu'une étrange princesse frappe à la porte de son château...
Most celebrities live a life that seems like a fairytale for us ‘normal’ people - but this week the contestants on Celebrity Big Brother have been challenged to do it for real, in order to be successful in their shopping task.
The stars – who include axed X Factor contestant Frankie Cocozza, actress Natalie Cassidy, WAG Natasha Giggs and Loose Women’s Denise Welch – must work together if they want to get their hands on money for the house budget.
They have been tasked to carry out various tasks while playing the roles of much-loved fairytale characters including Pinocchio, Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood and Geppetto. These include rescuing Rapunzel from the tower that imprisons her, and protecting the house from the Big Bad Wolf.
For this week’s shopping task, the Big Brother house and housemates have been transformed into a fairytale.I blockquoted quited a bit, but these were some of the best descriptions, scary as they may be, as I could find.
Yesterday, the housemates took part in the following challenges:
Rapunzel and The Prince – PASSED
The Prince (Gareth) managed to rescue Rapunzel (Georgia) from the tower by successfully climbing a near-horizontal ladder without falling into the deathly swamp.
Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf – FAILED
Red Riding Hood (Natalie) and the Big Bad Wolf (Nicola) failed their challenge because they didn’t manage to complete it in the 60 second time limit. The budget is taken down to 500 gold coins (£500).
The Three Little Pigs – ONGOING
The Three Little Pigs have so far managed to keep their straw house up and will continue to be tested throughout the day.
Beauty and the Beast – FAILED
In the diary room, The Beast (Andrew) had to rate how attractive he was against his fellow housemates. In the living area, Beauty (Kristina) had to decide how The Beast would rate himself against them. As Beauty had less than 10 correct matches, they failed and lost a further 100 gold coins taking the shopping budget down to £400.
Goldilocks and the Three Little Bears – FAILED
This morning, Goldilocks (Karissa) and the Three Bears (Denise) faced an eating challenge in the diary room. Presented with three bowls of horrid porridge in the diary room – cow’s urine porridge, spicy porridge and fishy porridge – Goldilocks had to decide which bowl was best for her and eat it. The Three Bears then had to eat the remaining two bowls. As Goldilocks failed to eat a complete bowl and the Three bears failed to eat two complete bowls, they failed the task and lost a further 100 gold coins.
On a night that was dominated by the end of the Denver Broncos-Pittsburgh Steelers NFL playoff game, ABC’s new fairytale drama “Once Upon a Time” delivered its best rating in weeks.
“Time” bucked up to a 3.7 adults 18-49 rating in the 8 p.m. timeslot, according to Nielsen overnights, the show’s top outing since averaging a 3.8 on Nov. 13 and 28 percent better than the show’s last original episode on Dec. 11.
It’s possible “Time” picked up some new viewers from last Sunday’s four-episode marathon, or people who usually DVR the show may have tuned in live for its first new episode of the new year.
“Time” was the top scripted series of the night on broadcast, though not the top show overall. That honor went to what will apparently be a hugely rated Broncos-Steelers matchup.
The man behind the Academy Award-winning Chicago and minor dud Nine has signed on to shepherd a feature version of Stephen Sondheim's classic Broadway show Into the Woods for his Pirates family, Disney. Marshall began cooking the idea up a year ago when he was working with mega-producer Jerry Bruckheimer on On Stranger Tides and the adaptation couldn't make more sense in the current landscape. After Tim Burton's blockbuster Alice in Wonderland, fairy tales are all the craze, with ABC's Once Upon a Time and NBC's Grimm bringing in solid ratings and Snow White and the Huntsman, OZ: The Great and Powerful and Maleficent all prepping for release in the next two years. Into the Woods, which melds a series of fairy tale characters and stories, including Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel and Cinederella, is a perfect fit.
It's unclear if Into the Woods will be Marshall's next project—he's currently working on a remake of The Thin Man with Johnny Depp, plus a possible fifth entry in the Pirates saga—but without he pressure of the current fad, we may see the musical sooner than later.
is a Bluebeard, another fairly common site in France and virtually not to be found in the US. The illustrations are pretty and Bluebeard is sufficiently villainous to make this an interesting rendition.
Barbe Bleue est une histoire terriblement sensuelle, effrayante et passionnante. Jean-Jacques Fdida entend bien nous le rappeler ! De nombreuses versions de Barbe Bleue sont publiées chaque année. Mais celle-ci devrait marquer les esprits grâce à l’écriture incomparable de Jean-Jacques Fdida et à sa liberté de ton. Fidèle à l’esprit de la collection, le conteur fait réapparaître des motifs aujourd’hui oubliés : l’épingle qui pique Barbe Bleue et la trace sur le mouchoir, censée attester son humanité ; le splendide château tenu par des mains invisibles ; la ruse de l’héroïne qui se métamorphose en oiseau ; la poupée à tête de mort qui leurre Barbe Bleue. Oubliés les frères, les parents qui sauvaient la jeune épousée ! Ici, l’héroïne s’en sort par ses propres moyens en se déguisant en oiseau d’Ourdi, laissant le mari écumant de rage. Si elle nous révèle la faiblesse, voire la complicité de la fille séduite à l’égard de l’éternel séducteur, elle rend également justice à l’ingéniosité féminine, à la force et au courage de la jeune femme. Un conte d’avertissement, certes, mais dans lequel les femmes retombent sur leurs pieds et se sortent du pétrin où l’attrait des richesses et des séductions faciles les ont entraînées.
is available for 99 cents as a special preorder. It is the full book, released last year, and Flinn's most recent fairy tale exploration. She kicks off a new series soon--Bewitching (The Kendra Chronicles)
--which is why this book is being offered at a deal price to promote the new one.--to find the bargain priced one.
--a companion to her Beastly (the one made into the movie), which also doesn't have a cover yet. It is $3.99.I'm not your average hero. I actually wasn't your average anything. Just a poor guy working an after-school job at a South Beach shoe repair shop to help his mom make ends meet. But a little magic changed it all.
It all started with a curse. And a frognapping. And one hot-looking princess, who asked me to lead a rescue mission.
There wasn't a fairy godmother or any of that. And even though I fell in love along the way, what happened to me is unlike any fairy tale I've ever heard. Before I knew it, I was spying with a flock of enchanted swans, talking (yes, talking!) to a fox named Todd, and nearly trampled by giants in the Everglades.
Don't believe me? I didn't believe it either. But you'll see. Because I knew it all was true, the second I got cloaked.
See the #1 New York Times bestselling story Beastly through Lindy's eyes! This is her diary, kept while living in captivity with the beast. Lindy's Diary captures all the romance and edgy mystery of the original!
Diary,
I am locked away . . . with no one to confide in but you . . . and him. His fur, those claws—they caught me off guard at first, but now I'm noticing something else about him—something deeper. It's the look in his eye. It tells me he's got a secret to keep. That's okay—I've got one, too. I think I'm falling in love with him. . . .
Lindy
