Beyond The Gates Recap: Kat Lies to Her Father About Tricking Eva
On today's Beyond The Gates recap:
Orphey Gene's: June is freaking out about seeing Regina. Jacob tries to deescalate the situation, and both sisters get teary eyed. June sees the picture of her children on Regina's phone and wonders where she got it. She grabs Regina's phone and begins to break down. Regina says the picture is June's and they had the picture taken together. June says it never happened and she simply found the picture. Regina is stunned June doesn't recognize her own children.
Naomi apologizes thinking June was told too much too soon. June insists her sister is lying to her as she has no children. Regina can't believe June abandoned her children and wonders where in the world they could possibly be. June asks for everyone to leave her alone and walks out.
Regina thinks Naomi is wasting her time as she has tried for years with her sister. She was done when she left those babies all alone. Naomi wonders what happened in her life to put her in this position. Regina is finished and asks not to be called again.
Andre's Pad: Ashley is thrilled by Andre bringing Paris to her. He says they are going to pretend they are in Paris for the evening. This evening, they will be dancing in a Parisian dance club. He kicks things off with champagne and pops the cork. They toast to Ashley saying yes to the desires of her heart. Ashley says she loves not knowing what comes next in her life. She loved Derek but he was offering her the opposite. Ashley doesn't want to discount what's right in front of her. The two enjoy dinner and then a dance.
Joey's Gambling Pit: Joey thinks Vanessa looks amazing who is only there to talk business. Vanessa says he was outbid for a property which pisses him off. She thinks it's best to walk away from the deal as she is looking out for both of them. Joey reluctantly agrees and then asks to double the money being funneled through her business. Vanessa doesn't quite know what to say when Joey says they have each other's backs (Girl, he will throw you under the bus the first time he gets). Just then, a tipsy Doug arrives and says he is ready to gamble. He sees Vanessa with Joey and then takes a seat to play his hand.
Vanessa is furious as Doug said he would stop gambling. Joey motions for the dealer to leave and he does quickly. Vanessa says they can't afford to go into debt again. Doug goes OFF saying every dollar he spends at the casino will get funneled through his wife's company because she and Joey are in bed together… figuratively, of course. Joey wants Doug to head out but he still wants to play a round of cards. That being said, Doug knows he's as likely to play cards tonight as he is to see under his wife's dress. With that, Joey throws him against the wall and tells him to get gone. (I'm so curious where folks stand with Doug. He was rude, but I'm not mad).
Hotel – Ted's Room: Ted writes Eva a check and she promises to pay everything back. Ted has questions about something else and mentions Leslie's words about the accreditation issues being Kat's doing. Eva says she should have done her due diligence despite Kat's actions. She says she is trying to let go of Kat's actions to make peace. Eva asks her father to let it go. Ted says Kat has crossed a line for the last time.
Leslie's Apartment: Leslie looks through designer fashion choices and says she has to buy everything she sees. Eva arrives and is pissed off about Leslie outing Kat. She wonders how her mother knew and Leslie says she just figured it out and there should be consequences to her actions. Eva just wants to make peace but her mother says they are just getting started. Eva needs to lock in and get ready for the battle and eventually get ready to move into the #1 daughter's seat.
Eva plays with her mother who thinks Ted turned her down. She goes OFF before Eva pulls out the check. Eva wishes her mother would learn to trust her as she is good on her own. Leslie gets fresh and asks if she could ask for more next time as she has needs and dreams. Eva thought her mother needed money for the basic necessities. She says she does but also wants to invest in her future. Eva and Leslie get snarky with one another before parting ways.
Fairmont Country Club: Kat rolls her eyes when she sees Tomas' call. He wants to hook up with some takeout from Orphey Gene's, but she says she's about to work out. He asks to meet up later and pushes until she agrees. Just then, she gets a text from her father.
Orphey Gene's: Eva arrives to see Tomas (Ooooh, he double booked?). He says he didn't reveal anything she said to Kat. Eva realizes their last encounter was good (wait til you hear the details, Eva!) and says she is happy for Tomas. He apologizes for what almost went down between them and thanks her for putting on the brakes. He says he wasn't playing games and if he wasn't in love with her sister… Those words stop and stun Eva. After he hems and haws, she realizes he and Kat did the deed. With that, she tells him to go find Kat and wishes him a good night. Afterwards, she begins to break down.
Hotel – Ted's Room: Kat arrives and says she can't stay long. Ted goes in about her vendetta against Eva. Kat counters saying Leslie and Eva are trying to ruin their lives. Ted asks about tricking Eva into missing the accreditation deadline. Kat is all kinds of evasive until her father calls her 'Katherine.' Kat says if Eva misunderstood it's on her. Ted simply asks her to steer clear of her sister (Did y'all hear her call Eva a nepo baby with a straight face?). She never admits anything and makes a quick exit.

'Absolutely vile': Tesco launches nostalgic birthday cake sandwich - 7 reviews on the viral food moment
This been the summer of viral food trends. First it was Dubai chocolate everything, then M&S released a wave of internet faves including chunky cookies, and a strawberries and cream sandwich, and now Tesco has entered their hat into the ring with their latest invention - a birthday cake sandwich. Yesterday (4th August) the supermarket launched a new limited edition sandwich as part of its meal deal. Except this isn't your standard lunch fare. Inspired by a childhood classic of a birthday cake, the new sandwich features the flavours of classic Victoria sponge and sprinkles. It's £3.00 on it's own or £4.00 with a drink and snack. The new sandwich is available for just four weeks, so if you want to try it, don't delay in heading to your nearest Tesco. But is it actually worth trying? Well already many shoppers have been down to their local Tesco to try it out. The Liverpool Echo reported the sandwich said the "cream cheese icing and jam were overpowering compared to the brioche bread" and added that it in fact "didn't taste much different to your standard birthday cake." We're not sure we'll be replacing our usual birthday cake for this though. Others were less convinced with the new sandwich, with TikTok food creator Angelina PJ criticising the sandwich and saying how it was far too sweet. Speaking to camera in her review yesterday she said: "Oh my gosh it's so sweet, I can't. As you can see I'm a bit speechless". Meanwhile over on this morning's [5 August] edition of Lorraine, host Christine Lampard reviewed the sandwich alongside guests Sarah Hewson and Ayesha Hazarika, who were in agreement over not liking the sandwich. And on X many people were complaining about hte sandwich with one person trying it and saying it "wasn't worth it", and reminded them of B&M's birthday cake candle. Another said it looks "absolutely vile" and another questioned why the sandwich had bread and instead argued they could have used thin slices of cake. Over on Instagram foodie account Newfoodsuk reviewed the viral sandwich and gave their verdict: "Trying the new Birthday Cake Sandwich from @tesco 🎂 Wow, it was very sweet indeed! You do also get a strong cream cheese flavour too! 😅 Very intriguing sandwich for sure!". Will you be trying it? Lydia Venn is Cosmopolitan UK's Senior Entertainment and Lifestyle Writer.

Review: Kokandy Productions resurrects the dreamy 'Amélie the Musical'
What was ground zero for the manic pixie dream girl movie trope? Zooey Deschanel in '(500) Days of Summer?' Kirsten Dunst in 'Elizabethtown?' Winona Ryder in 'Autumn in New York?' It depends on the nature of your preferred definition and some go back as far as Katharine Hepburn. But a case surely could be made for the pointy-haired French star Audrey Tautou in 'Amélie,' the whimsical 2001 French fable from Jean-Pierre Jeunet about a melancholy but lovable Montmartre waitress who decides that the best cure for her own feelings of loneliness is throwing herself into improving the lives of the clutch of Parisian eccentrics who surround her. 'Amélie' was one of the most internationally successful French movies ever made, and those of us who fell under its witty, sweet, intermittently acerbic spell at the time surely recall it with great fondness. Ah, when quirkiness and whimsy still felt fresh and new. Until, that is, some of us walked into Broadway's Walter Kerr Theater in 2017 for the disastrous musical version. Not many folk had that dubious pleasure, given that 'Amélie,' which has a book by Craig Lucas and music by Daniel Messé, lasted only 57 regular performances. I hadn't seen it since before this weekend and was not sure I ever would before Kokandy Productions, the indisputable current leader in edgy, off-Loop musicals, announced its summer project. 'Amélie,' the musical yin to 'Lupin's' Netflix yang. Interesting, I thought. Everything gets licensed. I should first note why I think 'Amélie' had such a rough go of it on Broadway in 2017. Many reasons: The source movie was so organically and distinctly beautiful as to resist brand extension. A chilly vibe couldn't compete with the warmth and vulnerability of Tautou's film performance. The show struggled to translate so fundamental a cinematic narrative into the language of a Broadway musical. And, frankly, time had just . Daring originality had become a familiar trope. Kokandy's hugely inventive production, which is a must-see for anyone interested in the long Chicago tradition of fresh and intimate takes on failed Broadway musicals, goes a long way toward giving Amélie back her crucial sense of self and worth. You might say it de-tropifies her. Most specifically, that is achieved by the delightful Aurora Penepacker, who plays the central character here and makes Amélie entirely her own, even though she comes with a Tautou-like Parisian bob and a day-glo vivacity that put me most in mind of Jasmine Amy Rogers in 'Boop! The Musical.' The gifted director and choregrapher Derek Van Barham, who has been doing for musicals these last few summers what David Cromer once did for straight plays in the basement of the Chopin Theatre in Wicker Park, has created an eye-poppingly immersive production that draws on the cabaret-style implications of the material (Amélie is, after all, a waitress in a Parisian cafe) and features a cast that switches, 'Once'-style, back and forth between playing instruments (playing them well, too) and performing the show's wacky lost urban souls. The tone of the production is admirable diverse: Mizha Lee Overn, for example, brings warmth to her little clutch of characters while Quinn Rigg, between stints playing the violin, adds a delicious soupçon of cynicism to his denizens. I did think Joe Giovannetti, who plays Amélie's love interest, Nino, could warm up some more toward the end, but then the production's problems mostly are in the second act. Act 1 is pretty knockout but post-intermission (an intermission that did not exist on Broadway) the show gets less specific and it just pops off the boil a tad. Penepacker's vocals are simply fabulous all the way through to her big Act 2 number, 'Sister's Pickle' (I know; what a title for an 11 o'clock number) and then she suddenly seems less tonally assured. I suspect that the show ran out of rehearsal time, which is not uncommon. I also think the problems within the material finally start to overwhelm the plethora of creative staging ideas here, all shrewdly designed and lit by G. 'Max' Maxin IV. Caper-driven films invariably have too much plot for Act 2 and that's surely the case here, when all the audience really wants is to spend more time inside the head of the heroine. So I can't report that Kokandy solves about 'Amélie.' But the score is worth hearing, when this well sung. Indeed, I'll wager you won't regret going for a second, not with this much passion and creativity and sheer talent running around what long has been the most artistically satisfying basement in the city. Review: 'Amélie' (3.5 stars) When: Through Sept. 28 Where: Chopin Theatre, 1543 W. Division St. Running time: 2 hours, 15 minutes Tickets: $45-55 at

'Happy Gilmore 2' cast celebrates rapper Eminem's comic chops

Photo courtesy of Netflix NEW YORK, Aug. 3 (UPI) -- Adam Sandler and the actors who play his sons in Happy Gilmore 2 are praising rapper Eminem for his surprise comic appearance in the long-awaited movie sequel. "Eminem is funny as hell," Sandler captioned a video of outtakes featuring the hip-hop star that he shared on social media Friday. In the sequel's final golf game, Eminem plays a bucket-hatted heckler, the son of a similar-looking trouble-maker played by the late comedian Joe Flaherty in the 1996 original. Happy (Sandler) ultimately wins, earning the $300,000 he needs to send his only daughter Vienna (Sunny Sandler) to a prestigious Parisian dance school. The actors who played Gilmore's rambunctious adult sons said getting to beat up Eminem and throw him into an alligator-infested pond was a highlight of the movie, which is now streaming on Netflix. "That was a nuts day," pro wrestler Maxwell Jacob Friedman, who plays Happy's eldest son Gordy, told UPI in a recent Zoom interview. "When I work out, Eminem is my go-to [music] over and over and over again. He has created some of the best pump-up music in the history of music ever, point blank," Friedman said. "So, I'm just standing there and I'm like: 'Wait, I'm beating up Eminem with my closest friends on this random day? OK, sign me up!'" Friedman said the hip-hop icon didn't just film is scene and make a quick exit. "Not only was he a good sport, he stayed way later and he was like, 'Let me try to do a different take and say something different there,' and he improvised so many different lines while he was in the water with the gators," Friedman added. "He's something else." Philip Fine Schneider, who plays Gordy's brother Bobby, chimed in: "He was, literally in the water, which is crazy. I didn't even think he was going to be in the water. I was like, 'Oh, it will be a body double or whatever.' But he was in there and wanted to be in there and wanted to stay. It was great." Friedman said the professional behavior of Eminem and the rest of the big stars who had cameos in the film was a great example for the younger members of the cast. "The big takeaway was the fact that, no matter who the person was that came on to set -- big or small -- everybody put in 110 percent and was just so amped to be a part of the project, so it was really inspiring stuff," Friedman added. Conor Sherry, who plays Terry, said he and the actors who played his siblings were all honored to help carry on the Happy Gilmore legacy. "it was everything," Sherry said. "We had high expectations, obviously. Adam's reputation is so great and he exceeded it in every way. To be able to do something and learn so much is such a joyous [experience,]" he added. "It was a full-fledged master class, more than you could ever learn in any classroom or college. I'm pro-college, but Adam Sandler taught us a lot." "To have such a chill environment and to be able to also learn so much at the same time and have it not feel forced was just really cool," Friedman said. The brothers' constantly fight and talk over each other, but they also are protective of and affectionate with their widower dad and little sister. "They're, basically, just the exact same copies in a certain way. I feel like we all have the same IQ," Ethan Cutkosky, who plays Wayne, said with a laugh. "When we're together, we can collectively solve some math equations." Schneider added, "We're bonded by love. We beat the [expletive] out of each other, but we love each other." "When Happy's down, it's on us to lift our father up," Schneider said. "There are a lot of moments I think will hit home with people, who have parents or parental figures who are struggling," Friedman said. "You get to watch the kids go through the same exact roller coaster that Happy is going through. When he's up, we're up," he added. "When he's down, we're down, but we're rooting for him the entire way through and I think it's such a beautiful thing as far as unconditional love goes."
