Acting icons Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi headline hilarious Britcom “Vicious”

With same-sex partnerships becoming more accepted in real life every day, it only makes sense that that would also be reflected more frequently in art. And the more such couples are seen through the lens of a film, or a TV show, the more it will serve to show that such couples are no different from male-female couples: They live day to day, they love and they bicker. That is certainly the case for Freddie (Ian McKellen) and Stuart (Derek Jacobi), the protagonists of Vicious, a hilarious British series that makes its U.S. debut June 29 on PBS. Freddie and […]

Catfish Season 3 episode 8 recap: Miranda and Cameryn … or James … or Gabby

Last night’s episode of Catfish Season 3 ended with a twist no one could have seen coming. It all started when Miranda, 21, started talking to Cameryn in 2011. In her email to Nev and Max, she mentions that she was never suspicious of Cameryn until she took a trip from her home in Minnesota to his home in California. It was then when Miranda started catching Cameryn in his lies and excuses of not having a working webcam or not being able to meet up due to family emergencies or car issues. While the two were on good terms, […]

We talk Devious Maids with the show’s own Evelyn Powell, Rebecca Wisocky

When Marc Cherry was penning the first season of his Lifetime hit, Devious Maids, he knew he was creating a twisty storyline and complex characters that would leave viewers and the network often wondering what exactly he was up to.

The appeal of Evelyn and Adrian Powell, the wickedly funny, super-secretive society couple whose lives were long ago shattered by tragedy. “One of the things I did foresee was how much everyone would come to love the character of Evelyn Powell because I knew she and Adrian had this twisted household, but they are […]
