The 'Girls' Porn Parody Is Happening, Won't Star Lena Dunham
You would think that with all the screentime that HBO's Girls creator and lead actress Lena Dunham has intentionally devoted to her bare, drooping breasts and ways of portraying sex as awkwardly as possible, the girl might be totally down for Hustler's re-imagining of the critically acclaimed series. Sadly (or fortunately, depending on your point of view), neither Dunham nor her castmates will be a part of the remake. Instead, a gang of porn stars will toss on unflattering neon clothes and pretend that they are the only inhabitants of New York City, which should leave them free to have sex on any subway car they wish.
This Ain't Girls XXX still follows four girls (led py porn star Alex Chance as Hannah) and Adam (played by Richie Calhoun) as they try to figure out the intricacies of adult life, which apparently include lots of rough sex and some mild BDSM. The flick w...
In retrospect, there should have been a TV spinoff of the 2011 summer comedy Bad Teacher immediately, because a wacky and unconventional perky breasted educator who needs a toning down by her far more endearing co-workers (including the hunky one) seems like a sitcom glory hole. The 2011 film, a $100 million grossing hit, starred Cameron Diaz as a teacher who's kind of a bitch and Justin Timberlake as her glory boy (because Jason Segel was totally friendzoned there until the end) will be abopted for the ostensibly senile CBS audience, though none of the original actors will be involved. Instead, Ari Graynor (The Sopranos, Fringe) will play the role covered by Diaz, chock full of smoking cigarettes around children and YOLO-ing at all the most inappropriate times.
Is it weird that Bad Teacher feels like it came out ten years ago instead of just two? Let us know wha...

Gabriel commented on A 'Freaks And Geeks' Kickstarter Film? Judd Apatow Sets Record Straight:
“While Freaks and Geeks is one of my favorite shows ever, I do agree it ended perfectly. I prefer imaging where each of the characters ended up rather having that determined for me.”
A 'Freaks And Geeks' Kickstarter Film? Judd Apatow Sets Record Straight
Kickstarter is all the buzz in Hollywood these days, with dedicated fans hoping that their favorite television show will be next to make a reunion movie. So while we recently chatted with Judd Apatow after receiving the Peabody Award for Girls, we asked him if his 1999 hit Freaks and Geeks would ever take that route.
"I don't think we aren't interested in doing it because we like how it ended. So we don't feel like opening it up again," he said. Laughing, "But in a way, everything I do is sort of like a sequel."
Sequels and reunions is definitely something that the writer and producer is used to. From Seth Rogen to James Franco and Jason Segel, Apatow has worked with many of the same actors over the years in hugely successful films like Pineapple Express, Knoc...
I didn't need Ellen DeGeneres to tell me that Matthew Perry was banging the entire cast of Friends during its entire 236-episode run, but thanks for breaking it down for the unawares who couldn't see the obvious. This new clip from Ellen proudly displays the one person who was likely skipping out on the Perry peen--that'd be Jennifer Aniston, who was busy being famously married and dumped by Brad Pitt--discovering Matthew's (or David's, if you let Jen tell you) carnal affairs, which ostensbily includes quite the taste for blonde lesbians.
It's not a fully intact Friends reunion, as Lisa Kudrow. David Schwimmer, and Matt LeBlanc (though referenced) are all no-shows, but if you're a 90s NBC geek, this is a fancy treat. Watch the cast of Friends reunite on Ellen in the video below:
I just don't know who you are anymore, AMC. AMC has announced that they will have a live talk show after each episode of The Walking Dead in which fans can blog, tweet, and post their reactions to the episode while chipper host Chris Hardwick nerds out all over the place. It will be called Talking Head. ::Slowly gets up, jumps off a balcony::
It's not that I don't like The Walking Dead. It's not like I don't like Chris Hardwick. It's not like I don't like AMC. If last night's episode of America's Next Top Model: All Starstaught me anything it's the importance of branding. AMC is all over the map with their branding these days. Are they the network I thought they were; a network that hosts dark, sometimes disturbing, Sunday night dramas? Because this whole Talking Dead thing is a little too goofy- like a child who wonders into a conversation (read that like Walter Shobchek) but you don't have the heart to turn him away.
Joel Stillerman, AMC's SVP of original programing, has this to say about it. "Fans of The Walking Dead are incredibly engaged with every aspect of the show. They tweet, blog, and post comments in very large numbers, and we wanted to give them an opportunity to interact with the show in a way that they don’t currently have – a kind of live water cooler."
Live water cooler? You know what water cooler conversations imply? That you are leading a boring life and the only time you get to talk about something you enjoy is when you're taking a 3 minute break away from your work- A THREE MINUTE BREAK AWAY FROM YOUR DEADENING LIFE AS YOU INCH CLOSER TO THE GRAVE- so excuse me if I'm not excited about the prospect of a live water cooler.
Just to be clear- I want to state that I have no problem with a conversation about awesome shows. I encourage it in all of my recaps and posts (except some of you really know how to hurt my feelings. THANKS GUYS...). I can't be alone in just stating my confusion that a network like AMC would think that a talk show would be on brand. It also seems a little masturbatory if you ask me, "HEY EVERYONE TALK ABOUT HOW GREAT WE ARE."
Alright, rant over. Go about your business America, and tune in to Talking Dead after The Walking Dead on Nov. 4th.
