Do you like zombies and hate cancer? If so, then Zombie Apocalypse II “Cancer fears the D!” is an event you’d likely dig. Taking place in Detroit at the Tangent Gallery/Hastings Street Ballroom on June 28th, this event benefits the American Cancer Society via The Walking Hope. In addition to an abundance of entertainment for a good cause, fans of AMC’s The Walking Dead should be really excited by one of the items up for auction at the fundraiser.
While enjoyers of the The Walking Dead have been able to get autographs from a good amount of the cast over the past year or so at conventions, even the most die-hard fans would be hard-pressed to get an item signed by 25 people affiliated with the hit AMC show. Perhaps the most prized possession at the upcoming Zombie Apocalypse II, The Walking Hope hoodie features the signatures of...

Looks like Victoria and Emily have even more trouble on their hands!
An ocean of secrets was revealed on the Nov. 17 episode of Revenge. Jack (Nick Wechsler) made a heartfelt confession to Emily (Emily VanCamp), Charlotte (Christa B. Allen) got herself into some deep trouble — and someone returned from the dead!
It’s A Love Shack, Baby
The episode opened with a flashback to the summer of 2010, when Daniel (Joshua Bowman) and Sarah (Annabelle Stephenson) were very hot and heavy. Then, back in present day, we pretty much got the same thing. Daniel may be getting married to Emily, but he only has eyes for Sarah.
He even showed up to the farmer’s market looking super sexy to flirt with her. “I haven’t been able to get you out of my head since the Fourth of July,” he said. Sarah tried to play hard to get, but she...

"The Walking Dead" closes out a highly rated and creatively revived Season 3 Sunday night on AMC, and that means fans should prepare themselves for more shocking deaths.
So far this season, "Dead" fans have already said goodbye to Lori Grimes (Sarah Wayne Callies), T-Dog (IronE Singleton) and Merle Dixon (Michael Rooker) in addition to less significant characters like prisoners Axel (Lew Temple) and Oscar (Vincent Ward).
Every single finale has seen some sort of death -- Jacqui, Sophia, Jimmy and Patricia (from Hershel's farm), and Oscar and Penny all died in either a season or midseason finale -- and with the Governor leading Woodbury into battle against the prison it's guaranteed this episode will be no exception. Andrew Lincoln already told Rolling Stone that 27 (!) people die in the finale.

There were so many reunions on "The Walking Dead" midseason finale -- Merle and Daryl! The Governor and Michonne! Michonne and Andrea! Rick and Shane! -- but nobody was feeling good.
Life is still miserable for the survivors, and that's good news for us as the action-packed hour demonstrated over and over again.
So much happened that we can't possibly cover it all, so we'll break out the 8 best moments from "Made to Suffer":
8) Axel (Lew Temple) hits on Carol (Melissa McBride)
Sure, it was just a little moment of comic relief, but we appreciate all the laughs we can get on "Walking Dead." Carol putting an end to Axel's creepy flirtation with Beth (Emily Kinney) was funny enough. But the incredulous look on Carol's face when Axel explained he wouldn't bother flirting with her because she's a lesbian was even better. His response when he finds out the truth: "You're not?...
