What do you get when you combine the director of Wedding Crashers, the writers of 500 Days of Summer, and the producers of Arrested Development? What sounds like a kick-ass show: Friends with Benefits, which NBC has just picked up after ABC passed. The half-hour sitcom is described as a “comedy exploring modern day romance [...]
That used to be the reason that my parents wouldn’t let me watch Friends when I was eight: “They’re hopping in and out of each others’ beds too much.” Thing is, that really only referred to the on-again-off-again Ross/Rachel ’ship, plus Chandler and Monica going from friends to lovers. Nowadays, things are much worse when [...]
That’s right — if you’ve got no one to spend the holiday with, you can tune in to Discovery Channel and watch dinosaurs bone on the new special Tyrannosaurus Sex. I’m not joking here, especially not about the press release:
Birds do it, bees do it, and now with the magic of CGI, we can watch [...]
David Yates, director of the two-part Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, has announced that there will be a number of nude scenes for Daniel Radcliffe in the film, including one with costar Emma Watson.
I had totally forgotten, but there is that bit with one of the Horcruxes, where it deludes Ron into thinking that [...]
The Gossip Girl writers will go to their graves shifting around famous titles for snarky episodes, but at least “The Debarted” is funny and fits the theme:
I think the Serena/Tripp plotline is really sweet, but the “car crash” scenario has been done to death (and better?) on Providence and One Tree Hill… this is supposed [...]
Ahh, that magical conversation about the birds and the bees, and when a man and a woman really love each other… but can you correctly identify which on-air parents are embarrassing their kids with all this dirty educational talk? Jason Plautz at Mental Floss has amassed the most amusing sex talks, spanning from Diff’rent Strokes [...]
It’s a bold new take on the werewolf/Hyde tale: for four days each month, teenager Jill transforms into a male. And it’s not just the hackneyed “stuck in the other sex’s body” trope we used to see in abundance on TV and in movies: Jack is a male biologically and culturally; he really is a [...]
My sister and I sat in line for two hours to see New Moon on Saturday night; we had considered trying our luck opening night but knew that we would never succeed against the true Twihards. (And we were right — sales beat out The Dark Knight and Harry Potter 6.) Below, some of my [...]
When you break it down, the similarities are rather eerie:
Bad Boys
DC: Pacey was the son of the chief of police, reveled in trouble-making behavior, slept with a teacher and often took off running whenever things got messy.
VD: Damon has the town sheriff after him, delights in all manner of bad behavior, killed a teacher and [...]
In honor of Gossip Girl’s upcoming threesome, Movieline has composed a tribute (love it) to the best sex scenes in recent TV history.
Many of these hit their scandal peak when I was still in grade school, so it makes sense that I haven’t seen Shannen Doherty give up her virginity, or the infamous Luke-rapes-Laura-then-marries-her storyline. [...]
