When I first saw Katharine McPhee’s dress I thought it might be midnight navy instead of black and I was infinitely more interested, but even in black the Theyskens Theory dress is very smart, certainly the best of the boob slings. It’s not all the way overwhelming, but maybe she and her costar Debra Messing thought it was best to ease us back into the idea that Smash is going to loudly and unfortunately invade our lives in just a few weeks. Full Story

Smash Season 1 Episode 11 recap (No really, it does.  I'm not being snarky there.)So the problem with Smash, as you may know, isn't that the characters are over-the-top or that the situations are ridiculous; it's that the show is trying to sell us those things as straightforward and proper.  And let's be honest: everyone who's still watching - and I know you are still watching - is watching for the camp, and the songs (oh my GOD the songs about the Method), but not realism. Full Story

Smash Season 1 Episode 10 recapSo the thing is that my PVR brings in the last 90 seconds of Dancing With The Stars.  And I can't criticize that show anymore because it's so much better and more professional than, you know, the people on the show about professional singers and actors. But this week's episode of Smash isn't even really about the ins and outs of being a professional, except inasmuch as you decide how much you like getting yelled at during the course of your job. Full Story

Smash Season 1 Episode 9 recapI'm calling you out, closet Smash watchers.  I know you are legion.  I get your tweets and emails and they always say the exact same thing: "I hate this show - so WHY can't I stop watching it?"  I feel you.  I understand.  It's a slow-moving car crash. Full Story

Smash season 1 episode 1 recap Does everyone who loves musical theatre get addicted in the same way?  I assume so, right?  You go to some performance or other of something at the high school or downtown, not really thinking about it, and then, all of a sudden, you have tears and goosebumps and nothing would be more important than living and feeling that part, right?  And then you get the music teacher to photocopy the entire script of Phantom and learn it and sing it obsessively until your family resents your larynx. Full Story

I won’t lie - if this had broken in January, in the heat of award season, this story would get a smutty tingle and not its own dedicated post. The subjects of this report know this too. I guess that’s the point. Late last week, Debra Messing announced that she and husband Daniel Zelman had separated earlier in the year. Full Story

Last night at the Costume Designer’s Guild Awards in Beverly Hills. She’s wearing a f-cking tiara! A TIARA! Sure, it’s the Costume Designer’s Guild. But it’s also Debra Messing. Who the hell are you? Well, actually, she’s fresh out of work. The Starter Wife was cancelled last week. Full Story

Sit DOWN Debra Messing. Better yet – go away. Am so over her. And that hair. That hair had desperation all over and inside of it. That hair had her agent and her publicist lurking around it. Her entire talent team randomly popping out of it, begging someone, anyone, especially Jeff Zucker for a return to network television. Full Story

But isn’t it always? Debra Messing with her “new amazing body!” graces the cover of the new issue of Self. Inside the magazine, she discusses her frustration with the tabloids over losing her baby weight and what finally led her to finding a program that worked. Her secret? Oh just healthy eating. Full Story

She has been underwhelming for a long time. But last night, Debra Messing came roaring back. Love this dress so much. And it’s perfect on her. And she didn’t try too hard the way she normally does. No more Will & Grace can be humbling. She certainly needed humbling too. Word is, by the end of Will & Grace she thought she was Sarah Jessica Parker. Full Story

The hair, the posing, the moment she stepped foot on the carpet, she was EXPECTING to be noticed. Only she had to slap you in the face to grab your attention. I mean, what else can you say? Sit DOWN Debra Messing.  Full Story

Haven’t watched Law & Order since Angie Harmon left the show. Love Angie Harmon. Angie Harmon is flawless. And after all these years she looks exactly the same. Here she is today at the 7th Annual Diamond Fashion Show preview in Beverly Hills. Not so flawless? Debra Messing who, I’m sorry, just hasn’t made a good red carpet decision since having her baby. Full Story

She hasn’t been right on the red carpet in a long time. Everything about this wedding dress sucks: it looks cheap, the seams seem off, it wrinkles too easy, and at the end of the day, it’s not flattering. She just wanted it too badly, you know? Always a harbinger of disaster. source Full Story
