The TV world missed out. Jennifer Lawrence auditioned for the role of Serena van der Woodsen in the “Gossip Girl,” series co-creator Josh Schwartz says.

When Female-Directed Shows Like ‘The Deuce’ and ‘Alias Grace’ Take On Sex, They’re Not Afraid to Make It Scary
41 minutes ago | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
It’s impossible to calculate how much film and television has been created on the subject of what happens when men and women interact, especially when sex enters the equation.
Three of the Toronto International Film Festival’s Primetime selections represented television being told from a distinctly female point of view, but while they all were helmed by female directors, that doesn’t mean they fit into any sort of uniform box.
The one subject none of them were afraid to tackle: How sex is much more than the act itself, and how for women in particular it creates real risk. It’s a concept that many women know instinctually, which is why it’s so important that all of these shows were brought to life by female directors.
The most sexual thing to happen in the first few episodes of “Alias Grace” is the stroking of quilts across beds, »

NBC News To Launch Its Own Coverage of the Media Industry

These days, it can be difficult to know when you read or hear the news exactly how much of that is really news and how much of it is being spun in a particular direction in order to sway popular opinion. Many individuals within the general public have become extremely disillusioned with the very idea of watching the news, largely because they feel like they are being duped every time they tune in. This has become a major problem, not only for the public-at-large, but also for the news industry itself. As fewer individuals trust various news outlets that were

Days of Our Lives fans know things are never as they seem, and we’ve heard that there might be a serious chance we are going to see the infamous Deimos again in the future.

Everyone has some serious memories of that night, and we might not be entirely convinced any of them are real or not. And that means we’ve decided we just don’t know who killed this man.

This Is How the Jeopardy! Writers Room Comes Up With All of the Questions

I get the feeling that for a lot of people trying to figure out how they come up with the Jeopardy questions for each show involves bringing together the worlds’ biggest eggheads that each have a head filled with some of the most outrageous trivia imaginable and throw them in a pot to see what gets picked and what doesn’t. As rudimentary as that sounds it’s not completely off the mark. In fact it’s a lot closer to the truth than you might realize. The process is akin to a round table discussion in that eight writers are brought together

The 69th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony isn’t until Sunday, but the celebration has already begun. The weekend kicked off in style Friday night at Variety and Women in Film’s annual nominee party, presented by Halo Top Creamery.
Emmy nominees including Viola Davis, Samira Wiley, Claire Foy, Alexander Skarsgard and Cicely Tyson walked the gray carpet before entering the party held again at Gracias Madre in West Hollywood. Many attendees also stopped to pose with, or simply marvel at, the Mercedes Benz on display before moving on to enjoy mini bean burgers, fig appetizers and the Halo Top Creamery ice cream bar that awaited them inside. (Mercedes was one of the sponsors of the night’s event.)

With each new round of Game of Thrones character representations that comes out I’m smirking with great pleasure as I prepare the write ups that are so much fun. Each fan that brings these images to life is obviously highly imaginative and has picked out only the best among the show that they think are worthy of such representation. Personally I might have added a couple more in but overall I think that Vlad made some very good choices. It’s definitely fun to see just how they might look in the world of the Godfather, and what kind of attitudes

It’s not as much of a laughing matter as you might seem to think. Take a step back and realize just who’s in office after all. We currently have a Potus that was at one time a reality star and a guest star on WWE. He’s been an entrepreneur and all-around hated personality for so many years that someone must have thought it would make sense to put in the one position where he’d be criticized non-stop and with some of the most hateful rhetoric ever known to mankind.

But she is also a talented actress and despite the thickness of her accent at times she is very convincing throughout many of her roles. What some see as just a pretty face and a
