Zoey was sitting at the kitchen table in Daphne’s house. After her appointment with the dentist Zoey had decided to have a coffee chat with her sister.
“How are you doing?” she asked casual.
“I’m doing fine, Z” Daphne answered.
“Are you still taking your medication?” Zoey asked insisting. Daphne frowned, annoyed. “For goodness sake, Daphne, it’s for you own good and ours. The doctor didn’t prescribe you these pills for nothing”
Daphne stood up angry. “I know what they are for” she snapped. She sighed. “I feel good, Zoey. Emmanuel is really good company. He makes me feel good”
Zoey got up too. “He makes you feel good, because he reminds you of Martin” she said realistic. She walked towards Daphne and lay her hands on her shoulders. “But he’s not Martin. You have to treat him like your husband and let him go”
“I told him he’s free to go if he wants to” Daphne said, breathing fast. “But he doesn’t want to. He said he wants to stay with me”
Zoey shook her head. “I’m sorry to be the one to say this, but has it occurred to you that he’s just feeling sorry for you?”
“That doesn’t matter” Daphne said. “He’s staying with me, that’s what matters”
“But it’s not healthy” Zoey said sharp. “Do you even realize what you could’ve done? You almost ruined his life by going to the police last night”
“But-” Daphne said, but Zoey cut her off.
“You need to start thinking about other people, Daphne” Zoey said. “You feel good now, but how long will it last?” She took a deep breath. “In the clinic they can make sure you take your meds”
Daphne shook her head. “No, Zoey, please don’t take me to the clinic” she begged. She clawed her fingers in Zoey’s sleeves. “Please, don’t take me back there”
Zoey tapped Daphne’s arm reassuring. “Don’t be afraid. I won’t take you there” she promised. She took Daphne’s face in her hands. “I won’t take you there. Listen, why don’t you go take a nap? I’ll stay here to let Cas in. Gerard’s home, he can take care of Alex”
“Yeah, alright” Daphne said and she sniffed.
“Now, come one, away with those tears” Zoey said motherly. Daphne dried her eyes and smiled weak.
“I’m so lucky to have you” she sobbed.
“How are you doing?” she asked casual.
“I’m doing fine, Z” Daphne answered.

Dat vindt de zangeres naar eigen zeggen "bevrijdend", zo deed ze uit de doeken in de talkshow van de Amerikaanse comédienne Chelsea Handler. "Ik hou er niet van om ondergoed te dragen. Ik wil altijd zo vrij mogelijk zijn. Dat is gewoon hoe ik ben", aldus Aguilera in Chelsea Lately.
De reden waarom de twee überhaupt over onderkleding praatten was omdat Aguilera alleen mee wilde doen als Chelsea in weinig verhullende kleding zou presenteren. Die eis stelde ze uit wraak om de grappen die Handler maakt over de gewaagde outfits van de zangeres. Aguilera kon het pakje van Handler wel waarderen. "Je ziet er sexy uit", reageerde ze.

De Amerikaanse rapper Eminem en popzangeres Taylor Swift zijn enkele van de winnaars van de allereerste "YouTube Music Awards". Eminem kreeg op het gala in New York vandaag de prijs van Artiest van het jaar. Swift werd voor haar hit "I Knew You Were Trouble" bekroond tot YouTube-fenomeen van het jaar. De award voor Video van het jaar ging naar de Zuid-Koreaanse meidengroep Girls' Generation en hun song "I Got A Boy". Deze outsiders laten daarmee zwaargewichten als Lady Gaga of Justin Bieber achter zich. De eerste winnaars van het online-videoplatform werden gekozen via een stemming op het internet. De prijsuitreiking was rechtstreeks te volgen op YouTube. Het platform is de voorbije jaren onmisbaar geworden voor de muzieksector, ten koste van klassieke spelers als MTV. Uit een rondvraag afgelopen jaar bleek dat 64 procent van de Amerikaanse jeugd muziek beluistert via YouTube. Dat is meer dan de radio (56 procent). (Belga / Belga)
Bonnie sank down next to him. “I’m sorry” she said. “For your arm, your eyes, your ear, your chest. I don’t want to hurt you, but when you’re around I get really mean. You bring out the worst in me, Damon Salvatore”
“I figured”
Why was he talking to her? He should just ignore her.
“Don’t you ever wonder why no one saw the cuts in your face?” Bonnie asked. She felt Damon shrug and he groaned. His arm hurt.
“The spell I put on you let’s people only see what I want them to see” Bonnie explained. “It’s quite exhausting, but soon I can just drop that part of...
