WARNING: The following contains a MAJOR SPOILER for this coming Monday's episode of ABC's "The Bachelorette." If you don't want to know....well, then why exactly did you click on the headline that read "SPOILER?"

If "Taken" taught us one thing, it's this: never share a cab with a stranger in Paris or else you'll get kidnapped and sold into sex slavery. If it taught us two things, the second would be never to f*** with Liam Neeson. The trailer for "Taken 2" teaches us even more.

The war isn't over, but the FCC drops a battle. The Supreme Court ruled today against $1.24 million in fines handed down to ABC and 45 affiliates through the years.
