The Bachelorette Recap: What Happens in Vegas ...


After last week's Bachelorette season premiere, the stakes were even higher this week as Ashley Hebert cut her field of suitors down to 15 from 18.

Did she thrive in her element? How did she handle the pressure of the first one-on-one dates?  Is she even cuter than we thought? Who got the chop?

Follow this link for The Bachelorette spoilers that we know so far. Then continue on for THG's patented +/- Bachelorette season premiere recap!

Phantom Ashley

ASHLEY UNMASKED: It's time to get to know the real her!

Ashley chooses William to go on a coveted one-on-one date in Vegas. Plus 4 for the good choice by the producers. He seems like a good pick.

Their awesome dating adventure? Cake tasting, ring shopping, then wedded bliss! Sort of. Minus 3 because it's getting a little uncomfortable.

"To me, it's a joke, it's not going to happen," he insists as a minister arrives to perform the ceremony. Good call, Will. Very astute. Plus 5.

Seriously, Bachelorette. Faux elopements? Minus 2.

In very cheesy fashion, Ashley stops just short of saying "I do," though she admits to falling for the charming salesman already. Plus 4.

After ending up in the middle of the Bellagio fountains, some serious talk about family and a rose ensue. "My heart is soaring higher than the fountains here," Will professes, proving he's as cheesy as The Bachelorette itself. Plus 7.

Ashley and William

Back at the mansion, 12 guys are selected and flown out to join Ashley in Vegas, where they battle it out in two teams with dance crew the JabbaWockeeZ. Minus 5 for the overall lameness and for us having to look up that spelling.

The rejected six fly back to L.A. after losing. Plus 2.

West Lee opens up about his deceased wife. Do we think he's opening up the whole way, or that he'll be given a chance to? Wash, because there's more to it.

Jeff, a.k.a. The Guy With the Mask, reveals a brain hemorrhage in his past. See? There's so much beneath the surface when you get to know someone! Plus 3.

Bentley Williams is this season's Wes. Even after acting distant and admitting to the cameras that Ashley isn't his type ... she begs him to stay! Minus 9, for the obvious efforts to edit him poorly and for nice girls loving bad boys.

Ashley Hebert does have an amazing butt and rockin' legs, though, among other desirable attributes. At least he admitted that. Plus 7.

The Bachelorette Hopefuls

Mickey earns the second one-on-one date and later a rose. But the real reward? An impromptu Colbie Caillat concert!! Minus 6 because he seemed to show emotion regarding Colbie than the fact that Ashley flipped a coin to keep him.

Jeff was about to become UNMASKED until Matt ruined the moment. Batman will remain a mystery for another week ... you can't rush greatness. Plus 5.

Stephen and Ryan get the boot. We barely got to know them. Matt receives the heave-ho as well, cutting the field to 15. Plus 3 for the solid selections.

Phone calls to mom Matt could have waited until the cameras were off to make: "It's 4 a.m. in L.A., and your son's not getting married .... I'm coming home and I need you to pick me up from the airport and ... cook me French toast." Minus 5.

TOTAL: +8. SEASON TOTAL: +40.

ROSE RECIPIENTS: Ben Castoriano, Chris Drish, Ryan “Mickey” McLean, Bentley Williams, Blake Julian, Ben Flajnik, Nick Peterson, William “Will” Holman, West Lee, Lucas Daniels, Constantine “Dino” Tzortzis, Ryan Park, Ames Brown, Jeff Medolla and JP Rosenbaum.

OUT: Matt Colombo, Stephen D’Amico, and Ryan Miller.

Beyonce's 'Run The World (Girls)' Video: Fans Sound Off!

After video's 'American Idol' premiere, B's fans say it 'looks fabulous,' compare her to Lady Gaga.

On Wednesday night during "American Idol" (and then on her official website), Beyoncé premiered her new video for "Run the World (Girls)": an eye-popping, hip-displacing clip full of haute couture costuming, daring dance steps and even a little geocentric gender-politicking.

Of course, most of that is nothing new for a Bey video: But what is new about "Run the World," both the song and the video, is the brash new edge she's displaying. Over Major Lazer's rattling "Pon de Floor," Beyoncé gets hard, proudly proclaiming that it's the girls who are really running things. And the video doesn't pull any punches, either. She's never strutted or preened the way she does here. And, the dance moves: Well, let's just say she probably had her chiropractor on speed-dial following the shoot.

As is often the case when a beloved artist pushes the envelope, reaction to "Run the World" has been mixed. Some fans praise her new direction, while others are a bit mystified. At the same time, some didn't think the song or the video went far enough. And then there are the complaints about the video's choreography (not hot enough!) and the comparisons to Lady Gaga (they're wearing similar shoes!).

In fact, the debate has gotten so fierce that we decided to spotlight some of it. Below are comments by B's fans and critics, both of whom couldn't wait to weigh in on her new song, video and attitude. And if you still haven't added your two cents, you can do so in the comments below.

"I am a die-hard Beyoncé fan, I really like her as a person and for the artist she is, but this song really SUCKS. Beyoncé can do way better than this. Still really lookin' forward to the new album but I hope that the songs are better than that one." — Rikira

"People aren't accepting of this song because it's not a typical pop song arrangement. Everyone is so used to everything sounding the same on the radio, so Bey brings something different and people aren't feeling it? Just wait until she performs it live. You know that if she performs this at the VMA's this WILL be the most highly anticipated performance and WILL be the best one of the night." — StunnaSton7

"Looks fabulous, but what Bey video doesn't? It seems kind of safe though, she could've pushed the envelope much further. It's written here that it was supposed to be post-apocalyptic ... the outfits should have been more tattered. No glamour, no accessories, just dramatic makeup. An AK-47 or bazooka would've sufficed for Bey herself to hold and work with." — BackdraftBelle

"What in the world? Beyoncé has officially lost it. She kind of reminds me of Lady Gaga ... She has changed tremendously." — Chanel Glover

"I don't understand why people HATE so much. This video is awesome, she came back hard despite not having a good reception for the single.

Stop with the comparisons she is the QUEEN." — Tayvion Meadows

"Choreography is much weaker than I expected. Predictable." — James Barnette

"I love you B, but the Sean Bankhead production put your video to sleep." — Amber Barrons

"I'm def a Bey fan, but was not a fan of this song ... until now. I love the video, and will def be working out some of these moves this weekend at party near you!" — Brandi Wood

"Definitely a disappointment from Beyoncé ... [both the] song and video. Plus I believe it's a slap in the face to Major Lazer!" — Mattie Brown

"I don't know about anyone else, but I actually get symbolism in the video, and I love the song. Complete departure from anything else that's happening on the radio at the moment in terms of pop. I love her and she runs it." — Pearl Sakoane

Adrian Peterson -- Scores at Vegas Buffet

Filed under: Adrian Peterson, TMZ Sports, Hot Vegas

NFL star Adrian Peterson turned a bunch of Las Vegas casino dwellers into hardcore Minnesota Vikings fans this weekend ... by picking up the tab on their buffet dinner!

0529_adrian_peterson_EX_TMZ01
Our Sin City spies spotted Adrian in line at the Bistro Buffet at the Palms Casino and Resort Friday night, where a couple noticed him and asked if he was, in fact, Adrian Peterson. We're told AP answered with his catch phrase (and nickname), "All day."

Peterson asked the couple -- and about a dozen other people in line for the buffet -- if they wanted to join him for dinner ... and then picked up the tab for everyone.

Total cost -- about $400.

If that stupid lockout ever ends ... Adrian will make roughly $10.7 million next season -- so he's gonna be alright.
