Buffy The Vampire Slayer Summoned To Destroy Jon & Kate

7:28AM Richard Lawson | We got so carried away today with the NYT new appointment and announcing once again that print is dead that we totally forgot to peer into the trades and see what showbiz news there is that you need to know about. So here you go now, late afternoon edition. More »

The Top 10 Female TV Characters Women Want To Be Like And Men Want To Be With

8:05AM Seth | You didn’t think we’d post last week’s Top Ten of the coolest male TV characters without following up with one dedicated to all the honeys, now, did you? And while our definitive men’s list—checked and rechecked by a panel of TV experts canvassed at various local correctional facilities and gourmet coffee outlets—surprisingly met with some vocal opposition, we’re confident its vagina-filled counterpart will please even the most persnickety of TV-lady lovers. There’s only one way to know for sure, however. Click play, and decide for yourselves. More »

Why The Racy New Ad Campaign For ‘Gossip Girl’ Will Backfire

8:15AM Molly Friedman | Gossip Girl, the show that the media can’t stop gushing over despite the fact that nobody actually watches it or anything, has of course been renewed for a second season. And in an apparent attempt to lure the large audience of celeb voyeurs that’s currently interested in the cast members’ bi-curious antics off-screen than on, the sultry young things-obsessed marketing crew at the CW has released some “inappropriate” images from the second season’s ad campaign. Thanks to Miley Cyrus and her “scandalous” series of endless flesh-baring spreads, any photos featuring tweenyboppers practically banging each other or doing their best O-face are fine by us. But releasing racy promos like these is a practice long used by GG’s predecessors, and the sleazy plan relying on that old promise that Sex Sells has a history of backfiring in many a series’ pretty little sweat-drenched faces:

Like, This Is So Totally Embarrassing: Our Top Five Classic ‘Valley Girls’

8:30AM Molly Friedman | As THR reported recently, MGM is planning a musical remake of the cult classic Valley Girl, which became the epitome of everything the magical land of acrylic nails and gum chewing addictions stood for in the early `80s. However, the remake is ruffling the feathers of many an industry insider, mainly because the brains behind this project are less interested in revisiting the infamous twang and mall headquarters associated with girls from the Valley, a group the film arguably captured better than any successor. Instead, the epic soundtrack will serve as the reincarnation’s primary subject. But whether or not the idea tanks, we’re just happy to have the chance to round up our five favourite on-screen Valley Girls to ever gag us with a spoon: More »

Fake Love Is In The Air: Top Five Best Prom Scenes, From Bloodbashes To Rose McGowan ‘Eating Shit’

8:25AM Molly Friedman | If three makes a trend, then a new one is awkwardly dancing its way into Hollywood. First, Lindsay Lohan threw an 80s prom-themed party for her 22nd birthday, then we recently discovered some intriguing prom scene footage from that highly anticipated horny vampire flick Twilight, and now, Var is announcing that Miramax will produce a film based on “This Strange Thing Called Prom,” a piece published last month in the NY Times. Though we never had the (mis)fortune of going to one ourselves, due to prep schools’ distaste for tear-inducing, virginity-threatening functions, the infamous Prom Scene has always been a joyous go-to whenever a teen-themed movie needs a pretty way to transition into Act Three. Below, the five cinematic proms we wish we’d been invited to, from Buffy’s murderous rampage alongside easy rider Luke Perry to the moment Andrew McCarthy tells Molly Ringwald he loves her even though she’s wearing the ugliest dress in the history of ugly dresses.
