Grammy Awards 2012 Alicia Keys & Bonnie Raitt I liked the Grammy set. I should have said that. Did you freak out when they didn’t include Etta James in the In Memoriam package? A lot of people did. I assumed that this performance off the top -- one that I bet was in place before all the By Duana • Feb 13, 2012 09:38 am
Vampire Diaries Mop Your Brow Vampire Diaries Season 3 Episode 14 recap Whoo. Whew. Is everyone OK? Let’s calm and ease in by talking about these Entertainment Weekly covers. I mean, damn. I obviously prefer the Elena/Damon one (and discussion on the symbolism of the white sheet can go on for hours), because By Duana • Feb 10, 2012 10:52 am
Debra Messing Smash 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 By Duana • Feb 07, 2012 11:29 am
House of Lies Obligatory ‘House Of Cards’ Title Here House of Lies Season 1 Episode 5 recap How are you guys doing with this show? Am I the only one? Every time I worry about something that’s going on, some development I’m not sure about, there’s something that just tickles me so much I’m delighted. By Duana • Feb 07, 2012 10:23 am
Vampire Diaries The Vampire Diaries Season 3 Episode 13 recap Before we get to the recap proper, thank you all for your emails, especially last week when we were in withdrawal. Brooke writes a lot but wanted me to know about Matthew Davis’ (Alaric) Twitter this week. Did you guys see this? Apparently the man himself has been asked why By Duana • Feb 03, 2012 12:56 pm
House of Lies House Of Lies Doesn’t House of Lies Season 1 Episode 4 recap Okay, this is ridiculous. House of Lies isn’t content to simply reinvent the half-hour ‘comedy’ genre and inspire in me slavish devotion, it has to start actually reflecting real life and being relevant, making me its full-on wannabe? This show, if By Duana • Jan 31, 2012 02:55 pm
Style Best SAG JUMPSUIT. You guys. I mean, really. I am not a fan of pale garments. Or neutral garments. My colouring means they look terrible on me, and so I have been conditioned to never desire them and to appreciate only full saturation and degrees therein. I usually glaze over. But this was By Duana • Jan 30, 2012 02:56 pm
Bad Style Best Delayed Gift with Worst Topping – John Krasinksi & Emily Blunt Remember when I ranted back in the day that I didn’t get to see them and their marriage enough? (Click here for a refresher.) That they had an obligation to show off how cute we all knew they were together? That I was entitled to see this? Apparently they By Duana • Jan 30, 2012 02:06 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession Michelle Williams reaches the limit? We talk a lot about campaigning here, that actors have to do this or that to secure the nomination and later, the votes. I will leave the intricacies to Lainey, but you all know what I mean. Suddenly stopping at every point on the carpet, smiles for all, revealing tidbits By Duana • Jan 30, 2012 01:54 pm
SAG Awards 2012 Worst Modern Family at the SAGs I realize on the one hand that these guys cannot win. If it’s not Julie Bowen’s sternum being investigated for pacemaker scars, it’s Ariel Winter’s delicate child-flesh too much on display, or Sofia Vergara’s …I don’t know… body bows being thrown all over the By Duana • Jan 30, 2012 01:21 pm
Style The SAG Dexter Table – Jennifer Carpenter & Michael C. Hall Did you see her last night? She didn’t get interviewed but most certainly was shot by the photographers in that gorgeous red that she’s never looked better in. She really has never looked better. Which is why she was able to sit at the Dexter table last night, By Duana • Jan 30, 2012 01:08 pm
Friday Night Lights Worst Goodbye – Coach Taylor I watched Moneyball on the weekend. I mean, it was fine. It was good. Brad Pitt is good. He’s just doing a Coach Taylor impression, though. I don’t want to say a Kyle Chandler impression, because I know Chandler can be other people than just Coach. But of By Duana • Jan 30, 2012 11:52 am
Bad Style Jessica Chastain: Best - or Worst – SAG Near Miss? Man, these girls from The Help are on a SLOG. I was looking up something regarding The Help on the site last night, and I came across a poster in another language, and realized ‘oh yeah’, wide, WIDE release. Lots and lots of travel to promote the movie and many By Duana • Jan 30, 2012 11:24 am
Dumbass Best SAG Snubbing: Kyra Sedgwick While in theory we’re restricting ourselves to what happens at the show, in reality certain truths are self-evident – in this case, that Giuliana (Lainey: Duana keeps calling her Giuliana DePandi which is maybe my favourite thing in life, ever) irritated a wide swath of people far more than usual By Duana • Jan 30, 2012 10:20 am
SAG Awards 2012 Worst SAG Mistaken Identity: Grizz Chapman Ellie Kemper No, I’m not joking. Ellie Kemper was a double-nominee last night, as part of both the casts of The Office and Bridesmaids. And she was mistaken for someone else SEVERAL times. Once, on the carpet during a cutaway, after she’d already been interviewed by Ross (ugh…Ross), she By Duana • Jan 30, 2012 09:58 am
House of Lies House Of Lies Episode 3 House Of Lies Season 1 Episode 3 recap Okay. I warned you. This show is too funny not to get specific, so we’re going to be a little more thorough this time. Marty sleeps while a woman in an ugly sweater rubs his shoulder. He wakes up all ‘Mom, By Duana • Jan 24, 2012 11:54 am
