The Coworkers’ Guide To Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce

Is it cool if the missus is the breadwinner? He said: Stay-at-home dads are awesome. Seriously dudes, support your spouse’s success and let her bring home the bacon (mmmm, bacon!). Plus, when people see me out with my boys at 2pm on a Tuesday, they exalt me. She said: Stay-at-home dads ARE awesome. Stay-at-home moms are awesome. Financial stability and good benefits are the awesome-est. Resentment in either direction? Not awesome. Is a strictly e-affair still an affair? He said: Yeah, it is. Even if you never physically see or touch the person you’re texting or Skyping, you’re still betraying […]

Jane the Virgin Episode 7 recap: I love him, I love him not …

This week on Jane the Virgin, we start off with a flashback to five years ago when Jane was 19 and first kissed Rafael. Jane tells Xo about Rafael and how amazing he was, but Xo thinks he sounds like the stereotypical playboy. Turns out that mother knows best since Rafael never called Jane back. Jane, however, feels that things are different now with Rafael, and that Xo was the one that interrupted Rafael and Jane’s magical kiss. But Xo feels that she needs to continue to protect her daughter from Rafael because he’s still the same playboy he was […]

“American Dad!” recap: “Now and Gwen”

Francine took the spotlight in last night’s American Dad! episode “Now and Gwen,” which was fairly unmemorable and, again, not as “edgy” as TBS keeps promising (I heard a “shit” and a “God damn,” which would have been bleeped on broadcast, but otherwise …) We start with Francine having a nightmare in which she’s back in high school, trying to run away from her sister Gwen (voiced by Uma Thurman), who transforms into a fiery monster that burns down the school. In the dream, Francine is led to safety by Scott Baio, and upon awakening, admits to Stan that she’s […]

Jane the Virgin Episode 6 Recap: Telenovela Love

On “Chapter 5” of Jane the Virgin, we start off by going back in time to Jane’s 21st birthday party. It’s a normal 21st birthday party where the birthday girl and her guests are getting hammered — although in this party, the birthday girl’s mother is getting drunk too. There’s a knock at the door and it’s a young Michael in his cop uniform. He and Jane share what’s called a “significant encounter” in telenovelas, which is the first encounter between two people who are meant to be together. This seems like a very emotional scene but Jane is plastered […]

James Franco and Seth Rogen to get Naked and Afraid

Yes Kellie, there is a Santa Claus. This holiday season, James Franco and Seth Rogen, who have previously appeared together in Freaks and Geeks, Pineapple Express, This is the End (and a LOL NSFW shot-for-shot recreation of the Kanye West NSFW music video Bound 2 — the  original features a topless, Yeezus-humping Kim Kardashian) will take their bromance one step farther … and get naked. Naked and Afraid. The twosome will allegedly appear together in a special episode of Naked and Afraid that will air Dec. 7 as part of Discovery Channel’s Mega Week. I say “allegedly” because this is […]

Girlfriends Guide To Divorce: Marti Noxon and Lisa Edelstein on Bravo’s bold new dramedy

How you relate to Bravo’s new Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce will likely depend not on how you feel about The Big D itself, but how you feel about your own romantic connections — or lack thereof. And that’s just how the show’s creator Marti Noxon intended it. “For me, this show is much more about what it’s like to be men and women right now — and right now it’s really complicated,” says Noxon, who took over for Joss Whedon as showrunner on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, then worked with Shonda Rhimes on Private Practice, Matthew Weiner on Mad Men […]

Jane the Virgin episode 5 Recap: Truth … and major consequences

We return to Jane the Virgin with “Chapter Five” and Jane leaving her mother’s house. Jane’s still upset that Xo hid Rogelio’s identity from her and decides they can’t live under the same roof. This may be a bit dramatic, but Jane is headed off to Michael’s house and they are going to get married in a week. So not too dramatic. But this could be: Rogelio and Jane have a day planned to meet each other on the set of his telenovela. Of course Jane is nervous and so is Rogelio. He’s finally going to have to nail the […]
