      The Bachelorette/ABC

    Oh, how the mighty fall . . . After miraculously surviving four weeks of The Bachelorette season eight, Houston reality bad boy Kalon Joseph Reid McMahon finally took it too far Monday night, launching Emily Maynard into a self-described "West Virginia-style" rage and losing his chance at finding love on national television.

    It all started with a passing comment during a casual tableside chat between Kalon, Arie the racecar driver and Jef with one f, who arrived with the other remaining suitors for several days in London. Back at the temporary bachelor pad, spirits are a little low after Emily selects Sean for a one-on-one evening, relegating the rest of the gentleman to a group date the following day.

     

    "If you become part of her life," Kalon  snickers, "pretty much any date's going to be a group date — you, her and (her daughter) Ricki."

    Never one to like an uncomfortable silence, Kalon chimes in to console his fellow contestants. "If you become part of her life," he snickers, "pretty much any date's going to be a group date — you, her and [Emily's daughter] Ricki."

    Arie gently redirects the conversation and, later that night, Dallas-native Sean scores himself a rose.

    The next day brings a hoarse voice for Emily and special trip to Stratford-upon-Avon for a group date performance of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

    Irked he's lost out to Jef for the second one-on-one date, Kalon finds solace in being selected by the bachelorette to play the coveted role of fair Romeo. Oddly, he appears so consumed by the responsibility of playing one of the production's lead characters that he goes so far as to shoo away Emily with the now infamous line: "We need to get back to rehearsals. You can run along."

    But the true Shakespearean tragedy takes place after the show at a local pub where our hometown hero tells Chris — who sometimes looks like young Gary Sinise, right? — that, after the busy group date, he'll only "get a chance to talk to an exhausted, sick mother who has a child waiting on her.”

    True? Yes. Something to say on camera? Not really.

    Chris is pissed and tells the rest of the gang about their conversation as well as a moment the previous night when Kalon called Ricki the ultimate b-word . . . "baggage." Doug, the single father who's hated Kalon since he said he was putting his son "on hold," is livid and demands an apology from the Houston bachelor.

    Kalon refuses to stand down, noting that he chose the word poorly and that he intended to say Ricki was a responsibility. Doug tells Emily. Emily confronts Kalon and the next thing we know it's "Get the fuck out."

    Texas country star Pat Green to livestream flood fundraiser concert

    The Texas Rangers and REV Entertainment are partnering with Texas country music icon Pat Green for Pat Green & Friends: Texas Flood Relief Livestream, a special fundraising event taking place at Globe Life Field on Wednesday, July 16 at 6:30 pm.
     
    Green's family is among the thousands who suffered terrible losses; the July 4 flood of the Guadalupe River in Central Texas claimed the lives of Green’s younger brother John, John’s wife Julia, and their two young sons — four of the 129 people known to be lost so far.

    Green is hosting the fundraiser to channel his grief toward a positive end.

    No audience will be in attendance, but a wide array of artists will perform or appear at the show streamed for free on YouTube, including Miranda Lambert, Jon Pardi, Dierks Bentley, Corey Kent, Casey Donahew, Josh Abbott, Ryan Bingham, Eli Young Band, Joe Nichols, Kaitlin Butts, Ty Myers, Kevin Fowler, and Bob Schneider, with more artists being added by the hour.

    All proceeds from the concert and livestream will be distributed to Kerr County Relief, TEXSAR and the Do It For Durrett Foundation via The Pat Green Foundation, directly benefiting the families affected by this heart-wrenching disaster.

    Over 170 men, women and children remain missing – many of them campers like Green’s family, who set out for a holiday weekend getaway. The search will continue, but after spending his entire career bringing people together, Green knows the impact the community will have in helping the healing process begin.

    The Texas Rangers and REV Entertainment are proud to support Green in this critical mission. Green and the Texas Rangers have been closely tied for many years, with his iconic “I Like Texas” played after every Rangers home win for years.
