“Lesbian Attack” scheduled for "Saving Grace"

2 July 2009 8:30 AM, PDT | From AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news

If you don’t watch Saving Grace, you probably think the show already has a lesbian character.

Or two.

But, alas, Holly Hunter’s Grace is very, very straight. She loves men and she loves sex with men. And she is not shy about doing what — and whom — she loves.

Thanks to AfterEllen.com reader indie, we know that a few women-loving women are going to show up on Grace (heh) in August. A casting call for an episode entitled “Looks Like A Lesbian Attack To Me” leaked last week and among the characters are three lesbians.

For “Mara,” the call is for a 26 to 32 year-old Caucasian with dark hair to play an Oklahoma police officer and lesbian. We’re not sure at first whether she’s a suspect in the episode’s murder or not, but she is hiding an abusive relationship with her live-in girlfriend. The girlfriend, “Gillian,

The 2009 AfterEllen.com Hot 100

10 May 2009 9:07 PM, PDT | From AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news

We introduced the first annual Hot 100 in 2007 to give lesbian/bi women a way to express what, or who, we find attractive, since our voice is largely missing from mainstream, heterocentric pop culture.

We made it into an annual event because it was so popular — and because it's fun, something we need a little of in-between fighting for our civil rights or searching in vain for decent lesbian/bi visibility in TV shows and movies.

Here are a few of the comments from past Hot 100 winners:

Leisha Hailey [on being No. 1 in 2007]: "I have to say this really makes up for the time I was on the Homecoming Court in High school with my boyfriend (yes I had one) and he won and I didn't. So thanks to everyone. I'll try and keep up my hottness."

Tina Fey [on being No. 1 in 2008]: "[making] the AfterEllen [list] is flattering. I think those girls take more of a 3-D picture

Bravo's "A-List Awards" were lesbian-filled

16 April 2009 9:30 AM, PDT | From AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news

Bravo TV just keeps getting gayer and gayer. If it's not reality programming geared toward gays, it's Kathy Griffin faking a coming out speech, or Laurel Holloman saying how nice it is to receive an award for sitting on Jennifer Beals' face.

Last night Bravo aired their annual A-List Awards, second in gay-friendliness only to the GLAAD Awards — and absolutely first in gay shenanigans.

Like, for example, the part where host Kathy Griffin announced that she is not only a friend to the gays, but also, herself, a gay.

What I need to do as an A-Lister is announce that I'm gay. So I am a lesbian. Yes, that's right: I am a lesbian. And, um, I've known since I was seven blah, blah, blah. So, anyway, I think the important thing is for me to be photographed kissing another woman.

And she did, sort of. Kathy propositioned the

The L Word: Who Killed Jenny? Last Episode Leaves Many Fans Disappointed

9 March 2009 7:29 PM, PDT | From TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news

Last night, The L Word finished its six year run on Showtime. It was announced 12 months ago that the series was coming to an end so many viewers were expecting the series finale to be well-crafted and satisfying. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be what they got.

The L Word revolves around the loves and lives of a group of gay, bisexual, and transgender friends who live in Southern California. Over the years, the series has featured a large ensemble cast that includes Jennifer Beals, Leisha Hailey, Laurel Holloman, Mia Kirshner, Katherine Moennig, Pam Grier, Rachel Shelley, Daniela Sea, Erin Daniels, Marlee Matlin, Rose Rollins, Sarah Shahi, Dallas Roberts, Preston Cook, Lauren Lee Smith, Jon Wolfe Nelson, and Cybill Shepherd.

Debuting on January 18, 2004, L Word proved very successful for the pay-per-view channel. In 2007, Robert Greenblatt, Showtime's President of Entertainment, called it "a signature franchise for us and one of our most popular series.

The ladies of "The L Word" come out one last time

6 March 2009 2:30 PM, PST | From AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news

Hey, is something happening this Sunday night? I feel like I keep forgetting an important event. No? Well then maybe that would be the perfect night to disassemble my television and see if I can put it back together again. You know, for kicks since nothing else is happening — oh, wait, that's right. The one and only hourlong dramatic series about lesbians is ending after six years. Sheesh. How could I forget? You'd think I bumped my head while diving into the deep end of a pool or something.

Yes, The L Word's swan song is nearly upon us. And like any good goodbye, there was a goodbye party. Earlier this week most of the cast — with a few notable exceptions — came out to commemorate six seasons of talking, laughing, loving, breathing, fighting and that rude word that rhymes with sucking.

Present and accounted for were series regulars Mia Kirshner,
