Jane Lynch talks to Katie Couric
 |
The love is just pouring out of Katie (she acts like a giddy teenager) who you know watches the show with her kids — she knows way too many intimate details to not be a fan.
I love the fact that here is a woman who has 134 entries (that’s 134 differe...[Read on] |
Glee takes on abstinence and sex education
 |
I am loving Glee. As a kid I thought life was a musical (and I never grew up). This show feels like it was made for me. It's so gay. It's got Jane Lynch as a delicious villain who loves social hierarchies and is constantly claiming gender discrimination...[Read on] |
National Dance Day and Glee Camp
 |
For better or worse, FOX television has a huge influence over popular culture. To prove that point, summer activities based on a couple of the network’s TV shows look to be a hit with adults and kids alike. Both of these shows are personal fav...[Read on] |
Miley Cyrus Versus the Chastity Cops, Round 340,982
| Decency! A thing that is in short supply, per the perma-incensed Parents Television Council. But according to this morning’s Times, the culture-policing nonprofit has fallen on hard times—just as $#*! My Dad Says, those naughty Glee kids, and a scanti...[Read on] |

The Power of TV – Glee uses Madonna to Address Sexism
 |
I’m an admitted big Gleek. Last night’s show featuring the music of Madonna was by far the best episode of the series yet. I thought it was brilliant how they used Madonna and her place in the culture as a female leader and icon to talk about ever...[Read on] |
Eat Pray Love
 |
Elizabeth Gilbert was miserable. She crashed out of her marriage, careened into another relationship way too quickly and was just overwhelmed and seriously fucked up. She needed a change — not just a haircut or new clothes — a fundamental change...[Read on] |
Why every parent should watch Huge (with their kids)
 |
It’s kind of a shame that the brilliant new show Huge from Winnie Holzman (My So Called Life) and her daughter Savannah Dooley is airing during the summer when people are busy, outside, not watching TV and many of the targeted audience kids are at act...[Read on] |

Golden Globe Nominees – The Women
 |
I like the Golden Globes because it is one of the only opportunities to see some great women on TV nominated with film stars. I know it’s a joke because only 100 people do the voting, but it brings a certain lightness to the awards season.
Some ...[Read on] |
Crush of the Week: Lady Sovereign
 |
I went to see Lady Sovereign in concert on Wednesday, and all I can say is that this woman is off the hook! The rapper (and a self-proclaimed feminist, I might add) from the UK is gritty, enthralling and powerful and I loved every minute of her performa...[Read on] |
Hollywood Feminist of the Day: Kristin Chenoweth
 |
This has nothing to do with how awesome she has been on Glee (cause she has been!) but she took on Newsweek and a massively homophobic piece about whether gay actors could play straight on stage and screen.
She rightly points out that they are actors fir...[Read on] |

TV Star Salaries
 |
Hey folks. Good news. If you scare the crap out of your ex-wife and then get arrested for beating your current wife you too can be the highest paid TV star by far.
Yes, Charlie Sheen a man with some serious anger issues (especially towards the wome...[Read on] |
The Late Night Dick Wars
 |
I don’t watch late night TV. The best I do is Tivo John Stewart and watch him when I get a chance. I don’t watch because I don’t stay up late, but more than that, I don’t watch because the shows don’t interest me. One of the big reason why...[Read on] |
Sex and the City 2
 |
Over the last several days the reviews for Sex and the City 2 have been rolling in, and not surprisingly they have been scathing with a side of mean. I stopped reading them when I saw the word “leathery” describe the women’s skin.
I actually thin...[Read on] |
What to Watch & What to Not: TV Shows Mid-Season Review
 |
If the end of summer vacation means the beginning of many new things (a new school year, new fashion trends, and, of course, brand-new TV shows), then the end of winter break gives just enough time for me to promptly forget everything that happened in T...[Read on] |
Why I’m not worried about the “Liz Lemoning” of TV
 |
It’s that time of the year when spring is in the air and we all shed our dreaded winter coats and look into out closets and check out the spring/summer apparel with a fit of excitement and dread. (Will that one fit after this particularly cold winter?...[Read on] |
