Dear Gossips,
Duana posted an article yesterday about Jennifer Love Hewitt, the executive producer of The Client List who is insisting on having her real life fiancé and baby father be the baby father of her character on the show, even though, creatively, the showrunner isn’t in support of that storyline. Apparently she’s been demanding that his part be increased for a while now and this time she’s threatening to walk if they don’t give in. Click here to read that article. In her assessment of the situation, Duana noted that while JLH’s decisions may be misguided, her power trip may also be justified. The Client List would not happen without her. Read Full Intro
Career Prospectus: Alia Shawkat
(For previous installments of Career Prospectus, please click here.) I've loved Alia Shawkat for a very, very long time. I remember watching State of Grace, then she went on to star in one of my favorite shows of all time, and one that was egregiously canceled, Arrested Development. Full Story

Gwyneth in Vegas

Well... This is about right. In her mind, that is. In her mind she’s dressing for her audience -- in this case the Licensing Expo in Las Vegas yesterday where she delivered the keynote address, talking about how she’s taking Goop global. Fine, but I haven’t hated a Gwyneth Paltrow outfit the way I hate this one in a long, long time. Full Story

Madonna was in New York last night for the screening of her MDNA tour film. As you can see, she’s revived her interpretation of Marlene Dietrich, the “double drag”. (Click here for a good scholarly read on “double drag”. Full Story
Am I one of them?
Posted by Duana
A hypocrite, I mean. I really don’t want to be. But I can feel it closing in. Is it nobler to admit it, or to feign that it’s not happening? The truth is always the way, right? Here’s what I’m saying: after whining about how people have to learn to interpret fiction onscreen differently than the fiction in their heads, I need to point out that this Entertainment Weekly cover Full Story
Anchorman 2 has salon-quality hair

After promising teasers, the first trailer for Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues has been released and it’s already quotable. This is the measure of a good comedy—not necessarily a good movie, but a good comedy—how often and how long you can quote it. Full Story

Miley with Liam and on weed
Not at the same time. Or, I dunno, maybe at the same time. It has been a long, LONG time since Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth were photographed together. Put it this way -- Liam’s been photographed with January Jones more recently than he has with his on/off maybe on again fiancée. Full Story

Dear Gossips,
The Emmy Award nominations will be announced on July 18. Jimmy Kimmel Live has submitted two entries for consideration -- his post-Oscar show and the one from January 24, when Matt Damon took over and finally had his revenge. Did you watch it? Click here for a recap that I posted after it aired. Damon was great. And the fact that he was willing? Even better. But, unfortunately -- and kind of hilariously -- for Damon, if Kimmel wins the Emmy based on his performance, he will not be eligible for the Emmy. Something to do with an Academy rule change that happened in 2009.
Private Eyes Are Watching You
It is not remotely the most interesting scene from the show -- I’m not sure it’s even the most interesting from the episode in question -- but when I think of Veronica Mars, I often think about the scene in season 2 where Veronica tries to set up Vinnie with a bugged pen, and he sings out the window to her to show her it hasn’t worked.
