The pilot (or “Pie-Lott”) of Pushing Daisies featured the supercute Kristin Chenoweth as Olive. She was sassy and sported retro dresses that showed off her covetous curves. But when the second episode rolled around, I was completely confused by her…

It’s been a while since I’ve been gushing over a show dangerously close to cancellation. (Yes, I loved Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars and terribly sad to see them go, but both were weakened in their final seasons.) But catching…

Mala • Here are some classic children’s and YA book authors who obviously failed the gay community by not outing their characters in the text.

So, it’s official. Despite the best efforts of fans and their hopeful campaign — Jorja Fox is definitely leaving CSI this season. According to EW.com, Jorja’s reasons for leaving: “There are all these things I want to do. Some are…

Ed Westwick, it must be said, sounds absolutely nothing like he does on The CW’s Gossip Girl. Which is certainly not a bad thing, but it is a bit disarming once his deep British accent rumbles across the phone line.…

* While indulging in my newest addiction — Scrabulous on Facebook — this ad popped up in the corner: My question is — how does one get certified? Do you think God has a test? Is it Scantron? Requiring No.…

Or, really, Kristen Bell. But she’ll always be Veronica to me. While we may not get to see her delightful smirk, it’s certainly present in her voice as she recants the Upper East Side’s goings-on in the blog of the…

I know we should be leaving the Britster alone — and really, we are. Because I really came away from that horrible VMA performance thinking that she just looked really sad. Like Popnography said, “I didn’t expect that she would…

When I was little, I loved Wonder Woman. Sure, I love her now but back then, I’d force my cousins — at least 8 years my senior — to play Wonder Woman with me. They’d shoot at me and I’d,…

Lately, I’ve been somewhat obsessive about scanning in old pics from high school and college. Some are longtime favorites, some I haven’t seen in years. It’s been like a bizarre 8-Track flashback — seeing faces of old friends, some I…

We’re giving away 5 signed copies of Elizabeth Scott’s Bloom. In a style reminiscent of the work of Sarah Dessen and Deb Caletti, Scott tells the story of Lauren, a not-so-popular high school junior who is dating the secretly celibate…

SOAPnet has been playing Beverly Hills, 90210 — and the cycle has flipped to the early eps once again. Man, was I a sucker for this show. Hook, line and sinker. One of these days, I’ll write my ode to…

While Davy Rothbart wrote a lovely eulogy for beloved Mr. Rogers, I’m a bit more jealous of Telegraph‘s ode to Count Gottfried von Bismarck. Gawker’s excerpt is certainly notable: Count Gottfried von Bismarck, who was found dead on Monday aged…

I haven’t been watching this season of So You Think You Can Dance — probably because last season made me look up swing dance classes (that I still haven’t taken) and I’m now hanging out with a twice-fractured foot, so…

With The Simpsons Movie hitting theatres in about a month, the website has some nifty things up to play with. After a few rounds of Three Card Moe (wherein i had a pretty decent score, I must say), I made…

Veronica Mars is now “Officially Dead” as per TV Guide Strangely, I came to this news just after I handed a set of first season Veronica Mars DVDs to a co-worker, insisting that he go home and start watching them.…

I’m still pondering how I feel about the imminent Gilmore Girls series finale this upcoming Tuesday, but I just came across a really lovely eulogy that addressed many of my thoughts: The Shamus on Gilmore Girls Here was a show…

I’m doing the finishing touches of getting ready for my UK jaunt (London and Ireland) and I’ve realized that I love leaving in the middle of the week. You should always start long trips on a Wednesday or Thursday. If…

So, a couple of months ago was the 10-year anniversary of Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet. I remember this release very specifically, for several reasons. 1) I was in college (omg I’m so old) and taking all the Shakespeare courses…

Or, at least she was in Kevin Smith’s Dogma. I remember questioning that casting decision until I saw the film and I was utterly smitten with her portrayal. A fun God, one that enjoys headstands and such and only smites…
