“Good Morning America” co-host Ginger Zee made history on Monday with an underwater Facebook Live shot in virtual reality, surrounded by sharks in the Bahamas. Also ABC News chief meteorologist, Zee told TheWrap that she wasn’t scared of the wild predators. “I learned that as long as we take all the precautions and respect the sharks they will respect us,” Zee said Monday. “That said, when I was down there I definitely had a few moments where they were coming straight at me to check me out, their eyes looking me up and down and my heart was beating a bit.

This has been such a fun week for Bravo! Also, if anyone is wondering what to get me for Christmas (because only my family reads this?), I made everyone a comprehensive Bravo-lebrity book and gift guide. I'd take some Andy Cohen Watch What Happens Live shot glasses, as well! Anyway, this week was pretty strange on Bravo, too. Here are my favorite weird things that happened:
Kim Richards gives her daughter advice on how to be picky at a restaurant on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. It was a really brief moment in the show, but Kim told her daughter she should send stuff back if it doesn't meet her standards. Her daughter protested, saying she felt bad for the people who made the food, but Kim said that the restaurant wouldn't want her to be unhappy. Really? Because I'm pretty sure people in restaurants just want you to leave.

Michael Jackson's "This Is It" is well on its way to the crowned #1 spot at the box office. The Associated Press reported the movie that compiled the late King of Pop's rehearsal footage has collected an estimated $2.2 million from its first late-night screenings on Tuesday, October 27 in the U.S. and Canada alone.
While the documentary hasn't approached any major box-office records so far, Sony Pictures has claimed that the opening night numbers were "unprecedented" for a Tuesday in October. Considering that "This Is It" opened on a weeknight outside of the summer, the Kenny Ortega-directed movie did pull a strong number.
Still, it came nowhere close to the $13.2 million "Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End" collected on its Thursday night advance evening screenings in 2006. It also came short to obtain the best Tuesday night advance results, which still goes to 1996's "Independence Day" with its $11.1 million.

MTV has got a hold on some fresh previews to the highly anticipated Michael Jackson's documentary, "This Is It". One of them is a one-minute long clip, which takes a peek at the rehearsal the late King of Pop did for "Bad" and "They Don't Care About Us" tracks, and shows footage of him as he teaches his backup crew some basic steps.
The other new sneak peek is a featurette. Providing more look into the upcoming feature film, the video is filled with plenty of never-before-seen footage and commentaries from director Kenny Ortega and choreographer Travis Payne. In the opening, Ortega explained the intended blueprint of Mj's O2 show. "So we open the show, as you know, with all the lights down," he said "We're going to create a spectacular opening with pyrotechnics, and we want some sizzles and some cracks and some pops."
He continued on by explaining,...

The theatrical release of "This Is It" is inching closer each day, and in anticipation of it, another fresh clip from the Michael Jackson's documentary has just been released via MySpace. While previous clip presents him singing "Human Nature", this snippet sees the late King of Pop manning the stage once again but this time around to rehearse for "The Way You Make Me Feel".
The clip opens to Michael saying to the crew, "I gotta cue that so you gotta watch me for that growl," before moving on to tease the choreography for the particular piece. The choreography is similar to the song's original music video, showing the singer walking across the stage alongside a female dancer to persuade her to take his romantic overtures seriously.
"He was the conductor. He was the man," director Kenny Ortega previously said about Michael's work for his comeback concert. "He didn't just work through a show,...
