Win a pair of tickets to SCANDALOUS on Broadway!


 Two-time Tony Award® nominee Carolee Carmello stars as Aimee Semple McPherson, the trailblazing media superstar whose passion for saving souls was matched by her passion for making headlines.

But as her popularity grows, so do her enemies, until her sermons, her celebrity and her past combine to put everything she believes in on trial.

US Olympic Trials: Womens Gymnastics Day 2

The Road To London


11:05 That's it kids, the committee got it right this time. Alternates are Price, Finnegan, and Li.
11:00 Douglas, Maroney, Raisman, Ross, Wieber
10:59 Here we go, time to announce the team.....
10:46 I cannot stop crying right now...what a dramatic scene!
10:43 OMG a 15.300 and Gabby wins trials!
10:42 Okay who will win...Gabby needs a 15.2 to pass the Wiebs
10:41 Gabby is just such a joy to watch on floor, a true performer!
10:40 It's fitting that Gabby is ending on floor...that's true Olympic order
10:38 Wieb is up on vault...no surprise she hits
10:37 This Phantom routine makes me so happy that lyrics are not allowed
10:36 Kyla rocks those jumps out of the passes
10:35 How Maroney gets all that power from that small body just amazes me
10:34 Oof lock-legged landing on Aly's vault and a step to the side
10:33 I love that Alicia isn't gloating, she's there to cheer on her mini-me Aly
10:32 Alicia actually had the guts to stick that second vault cold!
10:31 Alicia is squeezing out everything she possibly can.
10:21 I love that even after the problems, Gabby hasn't lost her smile
10:21 Gabby is so nervy on beam right now
10:20 I wish they'd stop talking through the whole routine. Gabby having all kinds of issues here on beam. The leaps are amazing though
10:16 What else do you say, she's doing everything she can do. Wieber Fever is ready for London.
10:15 The chosen one is up on floor with her fierce Zumba music!
10:14 The tiniest of hops from Ross, just a hair away from a stick
10:13 I love Kyla's beam mount; she's showing some signs of nerves. I'd like a little more fight from her
10:07 McKayla's floor terrifies me. I just never know what is going to happen with her.
10:05 Good girl Nastia, let's kill this one! She's showing us how beautiful gymnastics can be. Stuck it just like in Beijing!
10:04 A little too much power on the final pass, hard to control that last leap
10:03 Kept that whip in bounds, good girl Aly! Amazing height on that leap out of pass #2
10:02 I love Aly's leo, it really suits her. If Alicia isn't selected, I bet Aly is captain of team USA
10:00 I love Price, but I can't stand thinking of Bill & Donna in London
9:58 I love Price on floor, she's killer but she reigns it in
9:50 The Squirrel is flying! Stuck cold!!!!
9:48 Let's do this Gabby and give us something to smile about
9:45 Too falls for Rebecca, that couldn't have felt good on that bad knee. Let's do this Rebecca!
9:45 Ross gets a 16.500, let's see Bross top it. Or not, Rebecca just came off of the bars
9:44 Rebecca's knee is nasty! This poor girl has just had an unfortunate situation. She peaked too early
9:42 Ross & Li tied on bars on day 1, but I prefer Ross's lines. That was as perfect a routine as I've seen. Gorgeous handstands and a great stick!
9:41 We love Kyla...this is huge from here because she'll go up on this event in London
9:39 While we were all crying for Nastia, Sarah Finnegan was doing a bomb bar routine apparently
9:37 Aly is consistent once again
9:36 Aly Raisman is ticking off the elements on the beam
9:35 What a class act. It took a lot for Nastia to get back up on those bars and not bawl her eyes out.
9:33 Nastia let's go out with a bang. Broken handstand and a faceplant. Not how a returning champion wants to go out
9:32 Look at that landing; the pro is waving to her fans
9:31 Alicia is in her happy place circa the ESPN body issue
9:30 Alicia is looking so glamorous today. There is that same crazy mount again.
9:28 Price is in her own bubble out there and nothing is rattling her at this point
9:28 Price just is not phased by this pressure at all; rocking the beam
9:26 Price came out of nowhere and put herself into the conversation ala Tasha S in 2000
9:25 Jordyn's dismount is what Elfie calls "big time gymnastics"
9:24 Wild landing on beam for Wiebs. She's all over the place here
9:22 Thank goodness we get to see Anna on bars. Fantastic!
9:12 Yellow zone for Ali on bars?
9:11 Good choice by Kyla to downgrade the Amanar to a DTY...still a hop but the form was cleaner
9:10 I know Ali isn't a bars specialist but is it so much to ask to point the feet?
9:10 Thank goodness for Ali that she gets to start on bars and get that mess out of the way.
9:09 I'm so over this green-yellow-red system Al! 15.350 for Wieber on bars gets a green!
9:05 Wieber on Bars--she works for every tenth, good toe point and bam...great dismount!
9:04 And we have a 16.000 for Douglas on VT; she's certainly rising to the occasion
9:03 I hear Kennedy Baker did a nice set on bars; 14.850 is a nice score for her
9:01 Cute little girl fluff narrated by Al. And, cue my tears
9:00 Gabby VT-nearly stuck Amanar, best I've seen. Chow is so happy!
9:00 Good ole Al Trautwig!
9:00 Here are your standings after Night 1
1. Wieber 61.700; 2. Douglas 61.400; 3. Raisman 60.300; 4. Price 59.600; 5. Ross 59.400.
