Fox is ready to clean up the house and yard of one lucky Raising Hope fan. The Raising Hope Clean Sweep contest winner will receive a home visit by Martha Plimpton and Garret Dillahunt in character for a day of cleaning. Seriously. Plimpton and Dillahunt will clean your house.
So, how do you enter? Fox says Raising Hope fans need to submit their most awkward family photo along with an explanation as to why their family is just like the Chance family – meaning “happily dysfunctional.” Series creator Greg Garcia will be picking the winning entry.
The contest is now open and ends on Monday, October 8th at 11:59pm PT. For the complete rules and to enter, visit www.fox.com/cleansweep.
Says Plimpton: “I’m not a professional house cleaner, but I play one on TV. Won’t it be great to have your home cleaned by someone who pretends to clean every week? And as Virginia would say…no crime scenes, hoarders or cat collectors.”
The Season 3 Premiere Details:
Raising Hope premieres Tuesday, October 2 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX, featuring real-life mother-daughter guest stars Tippi Hedren and Melanie Griffith. In the episode, “Not Indecent, But Not Quite Decent Enough Proposal,” SABRINA (Shannon Woodward) introduces the Chance family to her mother, TAMARA (guest star Griffith), at the funeral of her grandmother, NANA (guest star Hedren). Nana’s last will and testament, revealed in a video she recorded before she died, has a big impact on JIMMY (Lucas Neff) and Sabrina’s relationship that leaves Jimmy on bended knee.

With their destinies at stake, the girls are faced with a difficult choice; give up their eternal youth for a chance at love, or continue to live their uncomplicated, fabulously single lives forever.
‘Revenge’ Season 2 Promo with Emily VanCamp
“She fought … she loved … she got even”
Critically acclaimed and completely addictive, Revenge is back with a vengeance tonight as Emily Thorne continues with her plan to get even with those responsible for her father’s death.
A Look Back at Season 1:
“Wealth, beauty, and status define the people in this town, but one woman is willing to destroy everyone for the sake of revenge.
Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp) is new to the Hamptons. She’s met some of her wealthy neighbors, has made a few new friends and seemingly blends into the town. But something is a little odd about a young girl living in a wealthy town all on her own, and the truth is that Emily isn’t exactly new to the neighborhood.
In fact, this was once her old neighborhood until something bad happened that ruined her family and their reputation. Now Emily is back, and she’s returned to right some of those wrongs in the best way she knows how – with a vengeance.”

…and so did fans close enough to the stage to get a good look at what happened during his first concert of the Believe tour. Apparently Justin Bieber wasn’t feeling all that well as he kicked off his new tour in Glendale, Arizona on September 29, 2012. The Bieb was singing “Out of Town Girl” when he turned away from the crowd and threw up. To make matters worse, he also threw up later during the show too.
After the show, Bieber snagged a line from Anchorman and tweeted:
And …. Milk was a bad choice!Lol
