LOS ANGELES -- Prosecutors have charged a man with stalking Mila Kunis and violating a restraining order that was issued after he broke into a vacant condo owned by the actress.

Stuart Lynn Dunn is scheduled to be arraigned Friday in Los Angeles on two stalking-related felony charges. He is being held on $190,000 bail.

The 27-year-old has been arrested twice this year for trying to contact and meet the "That `70s Show" and "Black Swan" star.

In February, a judge ordered Dunn to stay away from Kunis after he was found living in a vacant condo unit owned by the star. He had repeatedly tried to contact her before that arrest, and he was arrested earlier this month outside her gym.

Attempts to find a current attorney for Dunn were not successful.

On "Birth Moms" (Thu., 10 p.m. ET on TLC) viewers were introduced to Kandice Machado. The 23 year-old mom of two was pregnant again after a one-night stand, and she was preparing to give the baby up for adoption.

However, unlike most expecting moms Kandice wasn't going to let maternity get in the way of her lifestyle choices like smoking and drinking booze.

The former prostitute was also a self-confessed shoplifter and vowed that if she had to, "I would go and prostitute my body for $5 to feed the kids."

The adoptive parents that Kandice had chosen for her unborn baby boy apparently knew about her questionable habits. "I told my adoptive family that I smoked," she said, "'cuz that’s something they need to know. I even told them I had a drink the other night. I'm not gonna lie."

On the "Scandal" (Thu., 10 p.m. ET on ABC) Season 1 Finale the President's ill-advised affair with a White House intern was threatening to destroy his political career.

But then Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) managed to enlist damage control help from an unexpected source.

As the Vice-president's chief of staff was about to publicly reveal a recording of the president’s affair with the intern, the First Lady (Bellamy Young) coolly said, "we also figured out who the woman on the tape is. ... It was me."

Check out HuffPost TV's interview with Kerry Washington in which she talks about the cliffhanger ending to her show's freshman season.

The "Grey's Anatomy" (Thu., 9 p.m. ET on ABC) Season 8 Finale was a gut-wrenching one as fans had to bid farewell to one of the major characters.

Viewers had been left hanging at the end of the penultimate episode after the doctors' plane crashed and bodies were left strewn on the ground.

The Season Finale revealed that the doctor who didn't make it out alive was ... Lexie Grey (Chyler Leigh).

As she lay on the ground, crushed by the fusillage, Mark (Eric Dane) held her hand and confessed his true feelings. "I love you," he said. "I’ve always been in love with you. I will always be in love with you."

However, there was room for some levity in the episode as Cristina (Sandra Oh) remarked on Seattle Grace staff's remarkably high body count.

"Grey's Anatomy" Season 9 is due to premiere in September 2012 on ABC.

She might be one of the most successful singers in the world right now but Adele isn't such a hit with the fash pack.

The Brit singer graced the cover of fashion bible Vogue last October but the magazine's editor has revealed it was one of the publication's worst ever sellers.

Speaking to Vogue.co.uk, Alexandra Shulman revealed that despite Adele becoming one of the most famous women in the world, she was a turn off for readers.

"Music stars haven't sold at all well. Adele is the most popular woman in the world, but one of the worst sellers we've ever had.

"I find there has to be a relationship with the person on the cover that goes beyond how they look. Our most successful cover was the millennium issue - which didn't have anyone on it, but acted like a mirror so you could see your own reflection!"

She also confirmed that the Duchess of Cambridge had been approached to appear on the cover of the fashion mag but has yet to accept the offer.

Princess Diana appeared on four Vogue covers before her death in 1997.

Two weeks away from her wedding, Kim Zolciak decided it was time to look into the porta-potty situation on "Don't Be Tardy for the Wedding" (Thu., 9:30 p.m. ET on Bravo). As she explained, "I don’t want 250 people truckin’ through my house and p**sing all over my floor."

Unfortunately -- or maybe it was staged for the show -- the place she was looking to rent from showed her one of the filthiest and most disgusting porta-pottys one could imagine. So Kim quickly decided that the classic green box was not going to be the solution for her wedding after all.

So she upgraded. Boy did she upgrade. She settled on massive trailers with hardwood floors, plumbing and even an attendant in the bathroom. Zap2It is looking forward to when Kim finds a way to work rhinestones into those bathrooms. And they're wondering if Kim and her mother will work out their differences before the big day.

Find out as "Don't Be Tardy for the Wedding" continues Thursdays at 9:30 p.m. ET on Bravo.

8. 'Community' Finale Night With Three Very Different Episodes
Date/Time : -
Direct link : http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/18/community-finale-three-very-different-episodes-video_n_1526469.html
 

It might at first glance have looked like the network was burning off episodes by airing three installments of "Community" (Thu., 8, 9 & 9:30 p.m. ET on NBC), but fans were given an early reprieve from their stress. "Community" has already been renewed for a fourth season, heading to NBC's Friday nights next year.

So rather than fret about why NBC was doing it, they could just sit back and enjoy three unique and different trips to Greendale. The night opened with one of those ambitious "Community" episodes like the claymation Christmas. This time the Greendale Seven stepped into an 8-bit video game to help Pierce try to earn his father's inheritance.

The second episode focused on the ongoing saga of Change's takeover of the college and expulsion of the Dean. Troy sacrificed himself to the air conditioning shool to help the gang save the real Dean and re-establish order. Then, in the season finale, Troy managed to "fix" the repairmen at the a/c school, and make his way back to his friends, while Abed reverted to his dark timeline self.

Jeff represented Shirley versus Pierce over the ownership rights of her sandwich shop -- which was approved by the Dean to take the spot Subway once held. In doing so, Jeff learned the importance of putting the happiness of others in front of one's own selfish desires.

"Community" returns to its new night and time in Fall 2012 on NBC, settling in at 8:30 p.m. ET on Fridays.

10. 'Rulse Of Engagement' Finale: Audrey's Baby Shower
Date/Time : -
Direct link : http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/18/rules-of-engagement-baby-shower-sex-of-baby-video_n_1526439.html
 

While there's been no official renewal yet for "Rules of Engagement" (Thu., 8:30 p.m. ET on CBS), neither has it been cancelled. It wasn't on CBS's Fall 2012 schedule, but they slotted it on Saturdays in Fall 2011, and the show never aired a single episode in that time slot. Instead, it played the reliable utility player and slotted into its current slot when "How to Be a Gentleman" crashed and burned.

As such, it's reasonable to expect the network will pick it up in that role again. Especially with the series only 13 episodes away from that magic 100-episode syndication mark. That means there's every chance that fans will get to see Audrey have her baby.

In this season finale, she learned the sex of that baby. Learning she was having a girl helped improve her spirits after the disastrous and accidentally last-minute baby shower Jennifer and Adam threw for her. It was at least better than Adam mixing up the "Guess the Weight" game by guessing Audrey's weight.

11. '30 Rock' Finale: Which Relationship Doesn't Make It?

Not every relationship survived the penultimate season finale of "30 Rock" (Thu., 8:30 p.m. ET on NBC). Jack and Avery agreed to let Liz officiate the ceremony that would see them renew their wedding vows after Avery's time held captive in Korea. But it turned out they were waiting for someone to stop them.

Jack had slept with Avery's mother, while Avery had had a kind of weird tapping romance with a fellow prisoner while away in Korea. Even Kim Jong Il showed up for the ceremony, but in the end none of them stepped up to stop the proceedings. It absolutely disgusted the couple that no one tried to stop them, helping them to realize they needed to stop themselves. So they had Liz divorce them instead.

As for Liz, she's clearly grown quite a bit. She was ready to go to prison for Criss, and seems to have completely accepted him for who he is. Could this love be real? It would make sense, as "30 Rock" heads into its final season next year.

"30 Rock" has been renewed for a seventh and final 13-episode season, returning to NBC's Thursday night line-up in Fall 2012.

12. WATCH: Conan & Letterman Mock Jay Leno

Thursday night, Conan O'Brien appeared on "The Late Show with David Letterman," and the two late night hosts wasted no time addressing the denim elephant in the room: Jay Leno. In separate incidents over the last two decades, NBC favored Leno over each former "Late Night" host as the star of "The Tonight Show," and they spent a good portion of O'Brien's appearance on the CBS talk show swapping insights about their common ground.

"The longer we sit here, the more uncomfortable it'll make Jay," were the first words out of Dave's mouth after sharing an awkward yet knowing silent moment with Conan.

"You know Jay's watching right now," Conan joked. "He's getting a live feed in a satellite truck right now." Despite prodding from Letterman, Conan would not bring himself to say anything explicit to slam Leno throughout their interview, but did imply that the relationship between the two has been damaged permanently.

The majority of the first segment of O'Brien's interview was devoted to discussing the events that led to Conan's dismissal at "The Tonight Show," and Letterman's joy as he watched them go down. During the couple of weeks in January 2010 that negotiations at NBC were up in the air, many felt that Letterman's Leno-mocking play-by-play was the most entertaining he had been in years.

Calling the NBC about-face as the "Golden Age of Television," Letterman erupted in a fit of laughter as Conan told him he was glad someone got some enjoyment out of the period.

This marked the first time O'Brien has appeared on Letterman's show in 13 years, but the two mens' careers have been inextricably linked. When Letterman jettisoned "Late Night" in 1993 after NBC named Letterman's pal Leno as Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show" successor instead of himself, the previously unknown O'Brien stepped in as the new host of the 12:30 show. Letterman's guest appearances on the struggling show indicated a public vote of confidence to the new program from Dave, and 16 years later, Conan reserved his final thanks on his last episode of "Late Night" for his television forebear Letterman.

In 2009, O'Brien was given "The Tonight Show," until NBC pulled the plug on the show after only seven months when O'Brien refused to push his show back half an hour to make room for the poorly-performing "Jay Leno Show." Leno was reinstated as the "Tonight Show" host, where he remains to this day, although the late night market is substantially certainly more crowded now -- "Jimmy Kimmel Live" beat "The Tonight Show" in the 18-49 demo last week for the first time ever.

Below, watch a video of Conan's first appearance on Letterman's show. They've come a long way since Conan was rejected as a staff writer on Letterman's show after graduating from Harvard.

13. Scoop On The 'Scandal' Finale Cliffhanger From Kerry Washington
Date/Time : -
Direct link : http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/17/scandal-abc-finale-cliffhanger_n_1525085.html
 

"Scandal" ... what a season finale, right? I caught up with star Kerry Washington, who teased big things for the finale, but that was just beyond "juicy" and "shocking."

Spoiler alert: Do not read any further if you haven't yet watched "Scandal" Season 1, Episode 7, titled "Grant: For the People."

We saw the bloody aftermath of Gideon's (Brendan Hines) scissor stabbing by the VP's chief of staff Billy Chambers (Matt Letscher), and the reveal of who actually hired Huck's old hitman pal-turned-torture-victim to kill Amanda Tanner. There was a shift in Olivia Pope's (Kerry Washington) relationship with the president (Tony Goldwyn), his right-hand man Cyrus (Jeff Perry) and the first lady (Bellamy Young), but we also saw how Olivia's associates could rally for one of their own -- even if it meant destroying key evidence.

But the biggest question of the season remains: Who is Quinn Perkins (Katie Lowes)? Any why does her identity need to stay so incredibly secret?

Washington assured me that we're not the only ones left wondering -- the cast still has no idea, and she's not even sure if creator Shonda Rhimes knows just yet. (But that didn't stop Rhimes from smartly dangling that nugget to network execs to ensure a second season!)

I know you won't tell me what it is, but do you know Quinn's secret already?
I will tell you that the head of the network, when they saw the final cut of Episode 7, called Shonda and was like, "I need to know." And Shonda was like, "Then give me a Season 2." [Laughs.] Which I think is awesome. We were all like, "That's great! But really -- we want to know now, too." Shonda knows ... well, I think Shonda knows. I don't even know if Shonda knows!

There was one period when we were shooting that Liza Weil [who played Amanda Tanner] and I realized that we were actually being given different information ... we were being really guarded at first, because you want to protect this information that you're getting from your bosses. But all of a sudden we were like, "Wait a second -- we're in this together. What do you know?" [Laughs.] And we had this big exchange. It really mirrored what our characters were going through, in terms of withholding and giving information.

Has there been a cast theory about who Quinn really is?
You know what's even more fun? I always think that when the crew is invested, that's the biggest compliment. It's our job as actors to be invested in characters and storylines, and crews are so jaded -- they see so much work everyday, and they've seen so much bad work. But I will say that one of the things that made me so happy was that the crew was coming to me with theories at the end of the season. The head of the grip department, the wardrobe designer, even craft services ... people were coming up with theories. I actually thought that I was in trouble because the head of our grips was like, "I need to talk to you for a second." I was like, Oh gosh, what did I do? And he pulled me in this corner and was like, "This is what I think!" I was like, "Are you kidding me?" People are invested and inspired in ways that you don't always get to be in this business.

Tell us: Do you have theories about Quinn's real identity? And what do you think will happen with Olivia and Fitz next season?

14. Don Cheadle: Walk to End Genocide
Date/Time : -
Direct link : http://www.huffingtonpost.com/don-cheadle/sudan-genocide_b_1526146.html?ref=celebrity&ir=Celebrity
 

Right now, they're still alive.

400,000 Nuba civilians have been trapped in the mountainous regions of South Kordofan and Blue Nile states in Sudan since June 2011, on the brink of a government-orchestrated famine. The Khartoum regime has intentionally cut them off from their fields by persistent and indiscriminant bombing and denied access to any international aid. But they're still alive.

All of that will change sometime in the next few weeks.

Any day now, the rains will start, making this already remote region entirely inaccessible. Any hopes of breaking through negotiations with Khartoum to win access to these civilians will be moot. They will starve and -- like their 500,000 Nuba brethren who were annihilated in this same way during Khartoum's second genocide in the 1990s -- they will die.

Let's be clear: This is Khartoum's fourth genocide since the Omar al-Bashir regime took power in 1989. Bashir -- who is wanted by the International Criminal Court on 10 counts of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide -- has presided over the murder of close to three million innocent civilians, civilians he is obliged to protect.

In 2005, I traveled to Darfur along with a congressional delegation. The experience changed my life -- after seeing the crimes committed against innocent civilians there, it was impossible to return to my comfortable life and do nothing.

But even after years of activism -- and even with the fervent, increasingly urgent advocacy of the last few months as the siege against the Nuba people has escalated -- we have failed to protect these civilians. I fear that in the next few weeks, we're going to watch the slow death of an entire population, and that the international community will sit in silence.

This Sunday, May 20, I'm walking in Jewish World Watch's Los Angeles Walk to End Genocide. I'm walking and agreed to be the honorary walk chair because I refuse to stand idly by and watch as the Khartoum regime continues to slaughter its own people.

Our political leaders have calculated that the American people are not interested in foreign policy in this election year -- unless it's about disengagement from major issues around the globe. By walking, we're announcing to our leaders loudly and clearly: They are wrong. The American public prioritizes stopping genocide and mass atrocities, and leaders ignore those priorities at their own peril. We're telling our leaders that they have the strong support of the American public to take the bold action necessary to stop genocide and mass atrocities.

I hope you'll join us.

15. Dustin Fitzharris: Nadia G. Dishes On Her Hunger For Life
Date/Time : -
Direct link : http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dustin-fitzharris/nadia-g-dishes-on-her-hun_b_1522221.html?ref=celebrity&ir=Celebrity
 

2012-05-16-nadiag20112.jpgWhile wearing stilettos and cooking up a feast in a kitchen decorated with decapitated dolls, television chef Nadia G. has won the hearts of not just foodies but those whose idea of cooking is microwaving a doggie bag from the night before. Her Italian sass and bitchin' attitude is addicting. In fact, she recently received Logo's NewNow Next Award for "Most Addictive Reality Star."

Life for 31-year-old Nadia G., born Nadia Giosia, couldn't be better. A native of Montreal, her show Bitchin Kitchen has helped change stereotypes of those who love spending time in the kitchen. She's often referred to as the Julia Child of the Net generation. It all began almost a decade ago when she was running her own boutique 2.0 design/branding studio and felt something was missing. It occurred to her that what she needed was some food. In 2007 Bitchin' Kitchen debuted on the Internet and gained the attention of broadcast media. Three years later the show premiered on the Food Network in Canada and the Cooking Channel in America.

Nadia G. says her secret ingredients in her kitchen are fearlessness, patience, creativity, and love. But don't let her tattoos, her abs of steel, or her enthusiasm for playing with knives fool you. Nadia G. is a woman who carries her family with her in all she does and loves to laugh.

What did winning the NewNow Next Award for Most Addictive Reality Star mean to you?

It was a huge honor. I was certain I was going to lose to Willam [RuPaul's Drag Race], who is so fantastic. I was truly surprised when I won. I'm really happy that the LGBT community is so into Bitchin' Kitchen, because the show is all about expressing oneself in and out of the kitchen and not being afraid to be who you are -- and looking fabulous while you're doing it. It really warms my heart that they love me as much as I love them.

Besides food, what are you addicted to?

Hmm... I'm, like, going through the Rolodex and going, "Acceptable? Not acceptable?"

We love unacceptable!

OK. I'm addicted to laughing. I go to see a lot of comedy shows. I'm addicted to playing really loud and obnoxious rock music in my car. I'm addicted to beautiful clothes and shoes. I just love gorgeous stuff and work hard to acquire pretty things, shiny things. I'm addicted to shiny things!

What song do you bust out when you do karaoke?

I love singing "What's Going On" from 4 Non Blondes.

Why do you think the LGBT community has gravitated to you?

On Bitchin' Kitchen -- pardon the cheesy pun -- we lay it all out on the table. We talk about real things and have a couple of laughs about it. There's also a lot of fun and fantastic fashion in the show. We have a great time with that. The LGBT community is definitely... well, it's hard to generalize like this, but they love fashion. Between the shoes, the great food, and the off-kilter sense of humor, it just works.

A segment on your show is called "Nadvice." We need a little. What dish would you recommend for a gay wedding?

Oooh, there are so many wonderful things. One could make -- gay or not gay -- burrata. It's an amazing cheese. You could make that with some caramelized onion and fig jam.

That sounds like one fattening meal for a wedding!

Well, that would be an appetizer. You wouldn't want to eat a bunch of burrata! That would really kill the party.

OK, for a main dish?

I'm a big fan of steak. You could make a gorgeous steak with a maple balsamic reduction. You've got the sweetness from the maple syrup and the tanginess from the balsamic.

You said you studied at the school of Hard Wooden Spoons Whacks. Tell us about that place.

Not too many people went to that school. I grew up in a food-obsessed Italian family, so I learned to cook from my mom and my grandma. They also taught me a lot more than just cooking. The kitchen was where everything went down.

Since your show is all about attitude and being fabulous, what advice would you give to others on how to live a wonderful life?

First and foremost, you've got to make yourself happy. Essentially being who you are is the most important thing. When you're after truth, happiness always comes.

Speaking of the truth, how much of who we see on camera is the real you?

A lot of it. I write the show, so I distill my thoughts in the writing process. Bitchin' Kitchen is my stage, so there is definitely performance going on, but a lot of me is in the show. I guess what isn't in the show is me sitting around in joggers writing this stuff.

You mentioned your grandmother earlier. Tell us about her.

She was an interesting woman. She was a soft-spoken lady. Food was the way she expressed herself. She would have us over every Sunday for fettuccine and meatballs. She didn't really talk much, but food was the way she expressed herself.

You love The Golden Girls.

Huge fan!

Which Golden Girl are you?

Oh, man, that's a tough one! I say I'm most like Sophia.

Because she cooks?

No, because she's a little bit like an angry old lady. I, too, have an angry old lady inside me in some ways. I'm inspired by Sophia.

You got your first tattoo when you were 13. How many do you currently have?

I have 10 now. The latest one I got was the word "hungry" on left forearm. It's like a really deep metaphor. [Laughs.] The fun thing, though, is when I wear a three-quarter sleeve, it says "hung." That was a surprise to me! I love this new tattoo. I think it's very descriptive of my personality. It feels like it should've always been there.

In a man you love manly hands and a fearless personality. Are you currently in love?

Oh, man. Am I in love? I'm in love with chocolate.

Oh, OK. You can be coy. Let's talk about Martha Stewart. You once said, "She legitimized homemaking for a generation, but when it comes to the next generation, they're not really looking to fold napkins into swans or color-code their linen closets." What are your thoughts on the "next generation"?

We got Martha Stewart legitimizing homemaking for her generation, and then there's this return to being interested in all things home, lifestyle, and food again. I think this generation is less about the frills and more about the flavor of things. Just because one likes to cook up a great meal or decorate their home doesn't mean they have to do it with granite counter tops and duck Ă  l'orange.

You just seem to keep going. What is your philosophy for life?

It comes back to the tattoo. I'm a very hungry person, and I think if you have enough hunger, you'll figure out how to get full.
