Thank god, Sunday nights have finally got more gratuitously violent and bloody again! “The Walking Dead” is back! In last night’s episode, we finally found out whether either or both of the redneck brothers made it out of the Governor’s demented zombie cock fight alive, if Andrea has grown a brain, and whether or not new arrivals to the prison, Tyreese and his crew, can be trusted. Also, mad zombie brains exploding everywhere, as per usual. Click onward for a full recap with plenty of clips! Keep reading »

“Girls” Goes To Fantasy Land
So how about last night’s “Girls” huh? It was definitely one of the weirder episode of the season and I half-expected Hannah to wake up at the end of the episode to realize her dalliance with a sexy older man (played by Patrick Wilson) was but a dream. Kudos to Lena Dunham for casting such a hottie in the series’ possibly most naked episode. At this point, I’m pretty sure I know Dunham’s breasts better than my own.
Anyway, the episode starts with Wilson’s character Joshua coming into Grumpy’s and complaining that someone from the coffee shop is using his trash can for disposing of their garbage. Hannah eventually stops by his house and admits to being the culprit. She initially started dumping Grumpy’s trash in his can because she lost the key to the dumpster and didn’t want to tell Ray. Then she kept using Josh’s dumpster because they liked how the illicitness of it made her feel. All this talk about naughtiness must have gotten both Hannah and Joshua in a tizzy because pretty soon they were fucking in his kitchen. NSFW clip above! Keep reading »
“The Bachelor” Recap: Tierra Almost Freezes To Death & One Woman Is Sent Home Before The Rose Ceremony
Two episodes of “The Bachelor” in one week? Cat lady Christmas has come early this year! I’m not sure why ABC felt these two episodes were climactic enough to warrant back to back airings, but I’m not complaining. On Monday’s episode, Tierra The Tierrable established herself not only as this season’s villain, but its resident bunny boiler as well. So, was she any more Tierrafying in last night’s episode? Let’s find out! Keep reading »
“The Bachelor” Recap: Tierra Has Gone From Terrible To Frightening
Last night, prior to watching “The Bachelor,” I was chatting away on the phone with a friend. “Oh shit, I gotta go,” I said. “I have to watch ‘The Bachelor.’”
“Ughhhh,” he moaned. “I feel so sorry for you.”
“Don’t,” I assured him. “This season is awesome.” And I meant it. This season has ladies who are insane but entertaining (um, Tierra), women I actually think are intelligent and mature (Lesley, Robyn), and a Bach at the center of it all who doesn’t repulse me. I’m not even irritated that this week has not one but two episodes, both two-hours long. Four hours of “The Bachelor” and I don’t even mind? Dang. Let’s get to recapping the first of those now. (The second airs tonight, so I’ll recap it tomorrow.) Keep reading »
10 Awkward Girl Idols
Over the past few years, awkwardness has become a trait to be embraced. There are so many awkward girls being portrayed in movies and TV, as well as the slew of Hollywood It Girls out there showing the world that it’s OK to be awkward. Love them or hate them, we’ve already embraced them! Here’s a gallery of some of the best awkward girls out there. Read more…
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar — Yes, That Kareem Abdul-Jabbar — Has A Lot Of Feelings About “Girls”
“I don’t believe that people of color, sexual preference, or gender need to be shaken indiscriminately into every series like some sort of exotic seasoning. If the story calls for a black character, great. A story about a black neighborhood doesn’t necessarily need white characters just to balance the racial profile. But this really seemed like an effort was made to add some color — and it came across as forced. … We’re supposed to find these girls somehow charming because of their flawed characters. Their intense self-involvement is meant to be cute and it can be… at times. But not enough to overcome our impatience with their inability to have any personal insight. They’re all educated but fatally ignorant.”
––Oh, that’s just basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar weighing in on the “Girls” racial diversity controversy. Abdul-Jabbar might be up there on the list of the world’s least likely “Girls” watchers, but I am super into his thoughtful, measured take on the show. [Huffington Post]

Let’s Have A TV Baby, Okay?
I once tried to get a TV baby going with a guy who had just started watching “Breaking Bad” — but our relationship was doomed to fail — I was actually three seasons in, and there was no way I’d have the patience to start over from the beginning. Probably my most long-running TV baby was with my roommate Abby. We’d watch “Friday Night Lights” together all the time — until one night I came home and she was watching it without me. The betrayal! We’ve since closed the book on that unfortunate period in our TV baby history, but it’s clear that friends and couples every day wrestle with the complex questions that TV babies bring up. Watch the clip to see what we mean. [College Humor]
World, Meet Cory And Topanga’s Daughter!
World, meet girl. Specifically, 11-year-old Rowan Blanchard, the actress who will be playing Cory and Topanga’s daughter on the highly anticipated Disney Channel spin-off of “Boy Meets World,” aptly titled, “Girl Meets World.” The show is still in the very early phases, with a projected premiere date sometime in the 2013-2014 season, but producer Michael Jacobs is ecstatic about his lead actress: “As soon as Rowan walked into the room, I was reminded of why Ben Savage was loved as Cory Matthews … I am hopeful this girl is about to meet a world that will love growing up with her as well.” [Entertainment Weekly]
“The Bachelor” Recap: One Woman Won’t Kiss Sean & Another Gets A Date Fit For A Hooker
I’ve talked a lot about the diversity on “The Bachelor” this season, specifically focusing on the two black women who’ve made it farther than in any of the previous seasons. But there are also two other women of color in Sean’s group of lucky paramours — Catherine, who’s Asian, and Selma, who’s Iraqi. Last night, we got to learn a little more about Selma’s Muslim upbringing and how it affects her approach to appearing on “The Bachelor.” Let the recapping begin! Keep reading »
