Romance On TV: Lost’s Kate And Sawyer Make Beautiful Music Together

Amelia McDonell-ParryFebruary 22, 2008 //

Lost is the best show on television possibly ever for a lot of reasons, five of them being 1) Sawyer, 2) Jack, 3) Sayid, 4) Jin, and 5) Desmond. Also, the amazing, twisting, turning plot line that forces me to think about things like physics and gravitational pulls and time travel and wormholes, which I haven’t done since I was a Trekkie. There’s not a ton of sex and relationships on this awesome show, but the only positive thing about a “Kate” episode, is that you know there’s going to be some airtime for Sawyer’s shirtless chest. Last night was one such Kate episode, and the two got down in a scene that kind of made our loins burn. In a good way! We won’t give away any of last night’s plot twists (Oh. My. God. By the way.), but here’s a totally gratuitous image of Sawyer, for your enjoyment. [ABC: Lost] Keep reading »

Romance On TV: Big Brother Plays Matchmaker

Amelia McDonell-ParryFebruary 19, 2008 //

Forget the Millionaire Matchmaker! Julie Chen and the rest of the people behind my favorite summertime guilty pleasure, Big Brother, are looking to play Cupid for the first Winter season of the hit reality TV show. For the ninth season, the cast is totally single and ready to mingle — or as Julie puts it, “looking for love”. After a week’s worth of episodes (the show airs a whopping three times a week on CBS, plus nightly on Big Brother: After Dark on Showtime), I really think the house guests are really only looking to hook-up and fight. The cast is paired up in teams of two based on their romantic compatibility, but that has already made for some trouble. Partners Adam and Sheila despise each other; a real couple outside the house, Jen and Ryan, were paired up with other partners that were apparently more compatible; and a couple that recently broke up in real life were reunited as partners inside the Big Brother house to neither of their pleasure. But there has been some “showmancing”, much to the producers’ relief. Via the live feeds available on CBS.com, Jen and Ryan have been overheard gettin’ down and dirty in the bathroom, while partners Nat and Matt (aww, cute!) indulged in a little midnight canoodling. We can’t wait to see what happens next! [CBS: Big Brother 9] Keep reading »

Romance On TV: Lipstick Jungle Introduces The Only Female Cher Impersonator

SimchaFebruary 19, 2008 //


After two episodes of Lipstick Jungle, we’re hooked like the show is made of chocolate. Despite wanting to hate it, we’ve managed to make it through the name “Lipstick Jungle”, some cheesy dialogue, and the show’s “how to look like the stars” Maybelline make-up commercials without puking. But there is still one chunk that’s too hard to swallow and, sadly, it’s smack dab in the middle of our favorite part here at the Frisky: the sex scenes. Nico, played by blonde beauty Kim Raver, has a hot boy toy, Kirby, played by the six-pack named Robert Buckley. While the man has plenty of sex appeal, the 80’s kid inside us has stopped picturing the pink Nintendo Kirby and has gotten stuck on yet another timeless image: Cher. You know her signature top lip lick? She, and her impersonators (like Jack on Will and Grace — check out the clip above!), do it all the time…and so does Nico while she’s having sex! Instantly “Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves” starts playing in our heads — although, perhaps that would be a better show title…. Anyway, we hope this week we’ll get to stay in the moment when Nico and Kirby get down and Nico’s tongue won’t get out.
