*Kerry Washington is my favourite of all the favourites It’s not a “gossip gift” per se, but this potential drama nominees roundtable is the best gift I could have gotten. It’s delicious. I know all these women, I watch all their shows – it feels strangely indulgent to have them all in the same room and saying things that they maybe shouldn’t. Full Story

I have nervous anticipation. Connie Britton was recently cast in This Is Where I Leave You, a movie based on a delicious book that you should read this weekend, about a family that sits shiva  after the father passes away. (Lainey: I've written about Jonathan Tropper, the author, before. Full Story

The decision over what to do with this Connie Britton New York Times article took up a lot of email real estate yesterday afternoon. Do you binge on it or do you wait, savor, only a little bit at a time to draw out the deliciousness of what feels like an actual, real honest profile of the woman everyone wants to be? That’s not just my interpretation, by the way  -- it’s half the premise of the article. Full Story

I think it is fair to say the director made some weird choices last night. Not just failing to shoot Ben Affleck when Jennifer Lopez talked or not giving me a picture-in-picture of Taylor Swift the whole time Adele was talking. I mean, did you see how many shots there were of Jack Black?  But I can’t get too mad at the director because of all the shots we saw of Connie Britton. Full Story

So…this could have been much worse?  Maybe I’m still suffering the scars from the Emmys and what that looked like.  Click here for a refresher. There is some serious 90s throwback going on with Hayden, who looks like an Olsen Twin out for her 13th birthday, and I feel like it would be mean to point out to Kimberly Williams-Paisley that it is not the prom. Full Story

I’ve been watching CNN for the past 24 hours, which I never, ever do, but the storm coverage is dramatic and of course, there was the Ali Velshi factor. The surprising part to me was the political ad that kept running – every single commercial break. I forget that it’s standard issue in the U. Full Story

It was one of those random links you click even though you should be doing something else. I wound up on this interview with Susan Sarandon with Katie Couric (on her show, which I had never seen before and which barely permeated my consciousness) and a few things struck me about the clips Full Story

Nashville Season 1 Episode 1 recap “If you ever get a facelift, I’m gonna leave you…just kidding.” This is something Rayna’s husband says to her, and man, there’s no line that encapsulates more what this show threatens over our heads, no? I am less delighted than I am relieved. Full Story

Well let’s try this again… I have a friend who recently powered through all five seasons of Friday Night Lights. She couldn’t sleep, she couldn’t focus, she could think of nothing else. Now she knows. I receive at least half a dozen emails from people every week who are powering through all five seasons of Friday Night Lights. Full Story

Here’s what kills me about awards shows – the stars actually get to be responsible for their own appearances. They spend their workdays being manicured and groomed within an inch of their lives – I have seen wardrobe people adjust actresses’ camel toes – but on a big night like this, they indulge their own tastes, and I just picture the costume designers of the shows at home, watching the carpet, and screaming as their carefully constructed image is decimated in seconds. Full Story

It didn’t even occur to me.  Isn’t that awful?  It wasn’t until Jessica Lange won for American Horror Story that I even thought to look for Connie Britton.  I realized she’d probably be there and the show’s a big deal and I sort of saw her out of the corner of my eye – In a way, I wish I hadn’t brought it up. Full Story

I considered calling it “Best & Worst” but I’m not sure “worst” is the right word. And besides, to see Connie Britton’s face when Kyle Chandler forgot to thank you - it was the kind of eyeroll reserved for a family member, the kind of eyeroll Tami Taylor gave Eric. A lot. Like, OF COURSE he’d forget me. Full Story

She looked like she was about to last night, didn’t she? At the premiere for American Horror Story? Check out Lea Michele posing to the point of aneurysm, poor thing. And I mean it. Because you know what I think it is about Lea Michele? Lea Michele has this awesome gift. It’s SO pure. I LOVE when she sings. Full Story

Written by Duana Warning: I get emotional in here. If it’s not for you, no prob. Oh, you guys. Unbelievable. What a roller coaster ride if you’re a Britton fan. Of course we all had no hope that they could sweep the four categories they were nominated in. Full Story
