Good morning! Thanks to Heather Hogan for Brewing while I was out last week.

I love Gabrielle Union so hard. She's played a lesbian in Running with Scissors and I'm waiting patiently for her to do it again. In the meantime, she is talking about her crushes on anchorwomen:

Soledad O’Brien! But I’ve been obsessed with her for years. The “Black in America” series, they take up a lot of space in my DVR, and I refuse to erase them. If you come over my house you’re gonna watch some part of “Black in America.” I will make sure the conversation is steered toward something that gives me a reason to watch “Black in America.” She has a rare combination of being painfully genuine and honest and delivering information in a way that you believe her »

Bitch Stole My Look: Gabrielle Union vs. Julianne Hough in Bec & Bridge

17 April 2013 1:28 PM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »

Julianne Hough probably thought she was safe from copycats in this sultry red jumper. Little did she know that Gabrielle Union wouldn't shy away from a low-cut, skin-tight jumpsuit either—even if she knows the Safe Haven star already wore it! This bold Bec & Bridge look doesn't require accessories and both celebs smartly kept it simple. In which case we're forced to decide between the messy, loose locks of the Dancing with the Stars vet and the tight up-do on the Think Like a Man star. And we like Julianne's tousled 'do best. But what's your take? »

Exclusive: Tyler Perry on 'Temptation,' and How Kim Kardashian Became Hilarious

26 March 2013 2:41 PM, PDT | Fandango | See recent Fandango news »

Tyler Perry believes in love, but his movies admit it isn't easy. He asked audiences to justify Why Did I Get Married?, and then questioned them again in the sequel. In last year's Good Deeds, he played a man torn between his strong, independent fiancee (Gabrielle Union) and a homeless single mom (Thandie Newton) and now in Tyler Perry's Temptation, he takes fans to some truly dark places. Temptation stars Jurnee Smollett-Bell (Friday Night Lights) as Judith, a good woman who wears her moral values on her sleeve, but finds herself tempted to stray from her marriage by a social media millionaire who makes her an offer she can't refuse: he'll fund her private couples-therapy practice—if she'll be his woman.
