Outlaw Prophet: Warren Jeffs is the true story of the the fundamentalist Mormon leader who spent more than a year on the FBI's "10 Most Wanted List" for unlawful flight on charges related to his alledged arrangement of illegal marriages involving underage girls. Based on the book "When Men Become Gods" by New York Times best-selling author Stephen Singular, the movie chronicles Jeffs' rise to power after the death of his father, Rulon Jeffs. Within days of his father's passing, Warren married all of his father's wives and his dictatorial control over his polygamist followers ensued. He demanded women in the sect be completely subservient to men, banned laughing, and "reassigned" wives to other men at whim. Jeffs was eventually charged as an accomplice to rape for arranging underage marriages by the authorities but fled prosecution.

NBC Soap Opera 'Another World' Ended 15 Years Ago Today
The final episode of NBC daytime drama Another World, set in the fictional town of Bay City, aired 15 years ago today (June 25, 1999).Another World, created by Irna Phillips and William J. Bell, launched on May 4, 1964. At the time of its cancellation, the show was NBC's longest-running daytime drama (now surpassed by Days of our Lives).
Another World was the first soap opera to air in an hour format daily (1975) and later in a 90-minute format (1979-1980). The show reached its highest ratings and critical success in the 1970s with Paul Rauch serving as executive producer, and Harding Lemay as head writer.
Despite many producer and writer changes over the years, Another World maintained that something special--a blend of good stories, humor and class. The finale was not necessarily indicative of the show as a whole or even its final months or years, but the heart displayed by the characters was pure Another World.
As the final episode opened, Cass (Stephen Schnetzer) was abducted from his wedding to Lila by Carolyn, a gorilla he had often visited at the zoo. At first, Lila (Lisa Peluso) was enraged that everyone but she knew about her fiance's "relationship" with this primate, but soon she was concerned solely about Cass's safety.
BREAKING: Supreme Court Rules Aereo Is Illegal
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that online television streaming service Aereo Inc. violates copyright law by retransmitting over-the-air programming without authorization, ending the biggest copyright case in years with a decision that effectively shutters the disruptive upstart.
By a 6-3 vote, the high court said Aereo's streaming service represented a "public performance" of the major television networks' copyrighted works, despite a quirky system of tiny antennae and direct feeds that Aereo believed made it more of a private antennae rental service for consumers.

Emmy Award-Winning Actress Linda Dano Vents About Kathy Griffin Hosting the Daytime Emmys
Actress Linda Dano, who won an Emmy Award for her portrayal of Felicia Gallant on NBC soap opera Another World, recently spoke out on her Facebook page expressing her thoughts about Kathy Griffin hosting the Daytime Emmys on Sunday Night. Dano was not pleased with Griffin's less than classy commentary and the decision to hire her as host of the ceremony.Check out what Dano had to say, in her own words, below about Kathy Griffin and this year's Daytime Emmy Awards.
I need to vent about Kathy Griffin and last night's Daytime Emmy Awards. Named the host by Malachy G. Wienges, Chairman of The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences / why I don't know.
Clearly, the TV Academy wanted a buzz worthy host for their live stream-only show, and you can't get much better than filter-less Griffin. Oh, and she delivered. Her entire intro also had nothing to do with daytime TV
I don't know her and she doesn't know me...after last night, I don't care to know her!
She started the night by saying "Welcome to the shit show…this is your night…" Can't imagine anything less classy!
Her claim to fame is that she likes to offend people. Congratulations, mission accomplished.
The Daytime Community is a closely knit community of hard working, very professional, talented people who love entertaining their devoted fans.
I have had the honor to be recognized by The Academy and my fellow performers. I am offended to have someone like Ms. Griffin say things like "We’re making history! Oh god — shit! Guys, I’m sorry if my nipples fall out."
I was truly offended for my fellow members of the Daytime Community but when she repeated something about Susan Lucci that Sarah Michelle Geller told her in confidence (that probably never happened, Kathy Griffin crossed the line!
I won't repeat it here. Look it up if you want to see what she said.
When The Academy selects a host like Kathy Griffin, it's no wonder people have no respect for Daytime.
If you feel like I do, please let Mr. Wienges know. It's the only way The Academy will know that their experiment did not work.
Do you agree with the respected Dano? Do you think Griffin went too far? Share your thoughts in our Comments section below.

New 'Kidnapped For Christ' Trailer Released, Award-Winning Documentary Premieres on Showtime July 10
On Thursday, July 10th at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT, Showtime will premiere Kidnapped For Christ, a powerful, award-winning documentary that includes Mike C. Manning and Lance Bass as executive producers. Kidnapped for Christ chronicles the shocking truth behind Escuela Caribe, a controversial Christian behavior modification program in the Dominican Republic for "troubled" U.S. teenagers.Initially hoping to document the positive effects a boarding school like this could have on struggling youth, evangelical filmmaker Kate Logan is granted unprecedented access and allowed to live on campus for the summer.
Once there, Logan’s eyes are opened to the truth beneath the sunny facade of this remote reform school—kids being taken by force in the middle of the night, rumors of physical abuse, and staff imposing arbitrary and degrading punishments on the young students—and encounters students who change her life.

Polo doesn’t remember when he first fell in love with film and television, it might of been when he was 4 years old, going to kindergarten as a different character everyday (never just Daniel!), but after guest starring on some of the most popular television series such as Private Practice, Without a Trace, Nip/Tuck, Gilmore Girls, Bones, and NCIS, Polo landed his Emmy-nominated role on Y&R.
Serial Scoop asked Polo about his Daytime Emmys experience, playing Jamie on The Young and the Restless, being bullied, and what's next for him. Read our exclusive interview below:
SERIAL SCOOP: Jamie was bullied by Summer (Hunter King) and then Fen (Max Ehrich). Have you ever experienced anything like this or encountered it in your life?
DANIEL POLO: I think everyone was bullied at one point or another in there lives. Though I based Jamie off of a friend of mine from second grade, the only time I think I've ever really experienced anything close to bullying was on the Internet when I was 11. I had put an animation video that I made on YouTube. I spent hours on it, trying to get it just right and perfect, and when I put it up, I got some really harsh comments. I kept deleting hateful comments, until finally I just figured there was no point and the best thing I could do was walk away and let it be. Now my experience is nothing close to what I saw my friend go through or what Jamie went through. Compared to some of the stories viewers have shared with me, I got off easy.
