10 Depressing Takeaways About American Masculinity From Maxim's Top 100 List
22 May 2012 10:27 AM, PDT | Celebsology | See recent Celebsology news »
Maxim—which made my 2003 list of shit that won't exist in a more advanced future—decided to go democratic this year and open up its 100 Most Beautiful Women inventory to its reading viewing public. The move produced a few genuine surprises, though none of them will make you feel especially hopeful about the state of American masculinity. (Who likes white women? Maxim readers like white women.) Here's the top 10 takeaways, from a writer who admittedly didn't recognize about 75% of the entries:
10. Kat Dennings is hotter than #97, but she deserves her low ranking for starring on such a noxious show. 2 Broke Girls will go down as the pop-culture skidmark of our sour economy.
9. There's not a lot of bright side to getting thrown in Italian prison for four years, but Amanda Knox may consider making #92 on the Maxim Top 100 a downpayment on a better consolation prize down the road. Also, Maxim's »

CBS Upfront Presentation Brings Out A Parade Of Ladies: Cobie Smulders, Kat Dennings Smolder
17 May 2012 2:10 AM, PDT | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »
Considering that Fox and NBC networks just had their upfront presentations earlier this week, we had a feeling that CBS wouldn’t be far behind. We were right. The CBS Upfronts Presentation went down in New York yesterday and it seemed that the ladies ruled the roost. Cobie Smulders led the way in a white Rebecca Minkoff “Mistral” dress with cutouts and cheeky red pumps. Apparently, her earrings were designed by Krysten Ritter for JewelMint to benefit Autism Speaks. How I Met Your Mother, Ftw! We bet she’s in the best shape of her life after having to fit into that unforgiving catsuit she wore through The Avengers. It was also great to see Lucy Liu, looking impossibly tiny, but fit, in a burgundy Marios Schwab slip.
Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs — the 2 Broke Girls — looked great posing together. We just can’t understand why Kat won’t smile more? »

The Seven Things We Learned At the CBS Upfront
16 May 2012 3:42 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
CBS's upfront presentation today had the glamor and swagger you'd expect from the most stable, popular network — but aspects of the ceremony also had that profound unhipness that's CBS's weakness. LL Cool J rapping a number with the line "CBS is a phenomenon," accompanied by soprano Danielle de Niese? It's not uncool exactly, though it did feel a little awkward when LL demanded people throw their hands up. What else did we learn, other than that advertisers are disinclined to throw their hands up when told to?1. CBS President of Network Sales Joann Ross Is a Good Sport The presentation included with a 2 Broke Girls bit that found Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs running on stage, in character/costume and distributing cupcakes. They were greeted by Ross — in her own 2 Broke Girls waitress uniform. Cheeky! She delivered her whole sales pitch in costume. 2. It's Time to »

CBS today brought back its traditional opening taped comedy video that spills onto the stage of Carnegie Hall. This time it was built around the network’s freshman hit 2 Broke Girls, whose leads Max (Kat Dennings) and Caroline (Beth Behrs) read about ad buyers with a lot of money coming to Carnegie Hall for CBS’ upfront and decide to go there to try and sell the rich “men in suits” some cupcakes. After a cameo by David Letterman and Regis Philbin as customers at the diner, the two girls, boxes of cupcakes in hand, dash to Carnegie and walk up the stage where they are greeted by CBS’ head of sales Jo Ann Ross in a glitzy version of the duo’s waitress uniforms. Next off, a hip-hopera duet between soprano Danielle de Niese singing the toast from La Traviata and LL Cool J rapping about CBS’ ratings success. LL Cool J »

'2 Broke Girls' finale: Are you ready to cash out?
7 May 2012 7:39 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Near the beginning of 2 Broke Girls’ first season finale, aging hepcat Earl (Garrett Morris) tells sassy waitress Max (Kat Dennings) that he’s impressed with how far she’s come since she started working at the Williamsburg Diner — and, implicitly, since 2 Broke Girls itself premiered in September. But after 22 episodes filled with shallow supporting characters, little forward momentum, and some of the most cringeworthy — sorry, “classy dirty” — jokes ever committed to network TV, it’s tough to say how much progress Max and her CBS sitcom have truly made.
Sure, tonight’s finale proved that creator Michael Patrick King isn »

If something’s broken, Martha Stewart probably knows how to fix it. But how will she do against two broke girls?
In tonight’s one-hour season finale of CBS freshman comedy, 2 Broke Girls, the domestic diva meets Max (Kat Dennings) and Caroline (Beth Behrs) at a gala as they seek her seal of approval on their beloved cupcakes. But, warns Behrs, they might run into a few issues on the way. (See the video below for a short peek at the embarrassment!)
But one issue they definitely didn’t have? Making Martha Stewart a comedienne.”It doesn’t surprise me! »

"2 Broke Girls" has it's two part season finale on Monday, May 7. They're going out in style, with the doyenne of all things domestic, Martha Stewart. The two part finale "And the Big Buttercream Breakthrough," and "And Martha Stewart Has a Ball" will air back to back on CBS.

Check out what happens below and see what Stewart has to say. As Beth Behrs said in a recent interview, Stewart is really funny! Let us know what you think. Will you be watching?

'2 Broke Girls' Beth Behrs: 'I love Kristen Wiig and Julia Roberts'
7 May 2012 12:34 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
A year ago, Beth Behrs was a nanny.
Now she's Caroline Channing on CBS' "2 Broke Girls," which has its first season finale Monday, May 7. Caroline was a billionaire's daughter until her father wound up in prison, and she found herself homeless. She took a waitressing gig at a greasy spoon in Brooklyn, found a best friend in Max (Kat Dennings) and put her Wharton business degree to use -- raising money to start a bakery.
Behrs loves the chance to do broad physical comedy. In her favorite episode, Caroline's tongue swells when she becomes a medical guinea pig, then she has to testify for her dad.Behrs is giddy about her meteoric year.
"It's just crazy," she tells Zap2it.
She's walking in Beverly Hills, greeting pals in the street, which also makes her happy. Behrs has every reason to be happy. It's not as if a manager saw her and made her a star. »

EW Rage Box: S.H.I.E.L.D. is the worst thing about the Marvel movies
4 May 2012 1:00 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
The Avengers is a big, colorful film about big, colorful characters with big, colorful personalities. “Big” and “colorful” sum up the cycle of Marvel franchise kick starters that preceded Avengers. The two Iron Man movies, Thor, Captain America, and The Incredible Hulk vary in quality, but they all bear the same stamp. It’s a style that dates to the days of when Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created the important superheroes of the second half of the 20th century. The Lee-Kirby dynamic is rife with controversy, but the simplest version goes like this: Kirby was the medium-reinventing artiste who »

'2 Broke Girls': Beth Behrs says Martha Stewart is funny

"2 Broke Girls" star Beth Behrs joined Mo Rocca and Gale King on "CBS This Morning" to chat about the show. The show's season finale will air on Monday, May 7 with guest star Martha Stewart.
Behrs talks all about the show and the real chemistry she and co-star Kat Dennings have and whether or not cupcakes are passe. She also says that Stewart is really funny."(Show creator) Michael Patrick King said it was the first time when he seen me at a table read ever shy away from the dirty stuff. Like my face would get red and nervous sitting next to her because I felt so embarrassed and like we had to be very proper. But she's hilarious."
Martha Stewart, funny? Actually, yes. They've included a clip from the episode. "Her comedic timing blew me away," Behrs says. "She was funny. I was quite impressed." Check out the clip »

6 Things I Loved About The Avengers
3 May 2012 1:50 PM, PDT | The Movie Pool | See recent The Movie Pool news »
When I got the chance to see The Avengers the hype in the theater among us was nearly palpable. It was our chance to finally see if Marvel had pulled off a long gestating plan to bring the Earth's Mightiest Heroes to the big screen. There were things I really loved, and some things I thought could have been better and I'm going to share those with you.
To be honest, I wasn't exactly sure how to do my review for this movie. There were so many things I wanted to talk about specifically, but wouldn't fit into a general review. So what follows is a sort of review/toplist hybrid that covers my feelings on The Avengers. While I'm going to do my best to keep it spoiler free, some things may still slip out.
Let's get this out of the way right now: Avengers was amazing. Marvel pulled it off, »

It's all about the girl on screen but is that a good thing?

Three new TV shows with 'Girl' in the title are coming to our screens from the Us. But will the influx of kooky, hapless, everygirl characters win us over?
Female-led sitcoms are marching on the UK, tripping over their feet and embarrassing themselves in front of the guy they fancy. From Miranda, returning in the summer, to HBO newcomer Girls, which has yet to hit UK shores, broadcasters are focusing on the female demographic and giving us what they think we want. But have they got it right?
Three new shows with "girls" in the title – New Girl (C4), Two Broke Girls (Thursday, E4, 9pm) and the aforementioned Girls (coming to Sky Atlantic) – are arriving from the Us in the space of a few months. They all feature loveable kooks who are crap at relationships and/or hapless at work with infuriating parents and/or supportive female friends. But it's »

The Road to The Avengers - Thor (2011)
19 April 2012 8:45 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Luke Owen continues on the road to The Avengers, revisiting Thor...
Thor, 2011.
Directed by Kenneth Branagh.
Starring Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Stellan Skarsgård, Anthony Hopkins, Kat Dennings, Idris Elba, Ray Stevenson, Rene Russo, Jaimie Alexander, Joshua Dallas, Tadanobu Asano, Colm Feore, Clark Gregg, Jeremy Renner and Samuel L. Jackson.
Synopsis:
Stripped of his powers by his father Odin (Anthony Hopkins), Thor (Chris Hemsworth) is exiled to Earth where he discovers what it takes to become a true hero.
Much like Iron Man, Thor was finally getting his first big screen film adaptation after a lot of stop-start movie productions (although his first film appearance was in The Incredible Hulk Returns in 1988). After finishing Darkman in 1990, Sam Raimi pitched a Thor movie to 20th Century Fox who apparently did not understand it. It wasn’t until the success of Bryan Singer’s X-Men that Fox thought they could get »

Mighty Marvel Updates! The Avengers, Iron Man 3, Thor 2 and Captain America 2
14 April 2012 10:00 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
In 2002, right before the release of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, Stan Lee was quoted in the documentary Stan Lee's Mutants, Monsters and Marvels as saying, "There hasn't been a better time to be a Marvel fan." Ten years later, not much has changed. Here in 2012, we are mere weeks away from the biggest Marvel movie of all time; a movie that 4 years ago was said to be impossible - The Avengers. It's the first film in movie history to feature six different superheroes all in the same film together. It's gotten to the point where director Joss Whedon is giving advice to Warner Bros. on how to approach a "Justice League" movie when they can't even get Green Lantern to work! The Avengers had its world premiere on Wednesday at Disney's El Capitan Theatre. However, the film shown there may not be the film we get in theaters; and this is a good thing. »

It's a good week for low expectations
13 April 2012 4:06 PM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Having tackled the greatest, grandest and most gruesome beasts to roam the planet, from an elephant to a shark to a whale with a penis the size of a weightlifter's thigh, Inside Nature's Giants (Mon, 8pm, C4) is downsizing by the episode: this week, we get that behemoth of nature, a kangaroo. Still, at least they're keeping up the genital intrigue, as it does have three vaginas. In fact, managing expectations is a necessary requirement of TV viewing over the next seven days.
Though it was almost inevitable, Julian Fellowes's much-anticipated but flabby Titanic (Sun, 9pm, ITV1) attracted plenty of "sinking"-, "damp"-, "disaster"- and "drowning"-based comments. Its final episode airs tomorrow; if you manage to avoid making or hearing a "Spoiler alert! The ship sinks" joke, then a wry raise of the Dowager Countess's eyebrow goes out to you.

2 Broke Girls 1.20 "And the Drug Money" Review - P for Progress
CBS
2 Broke Girls undergoes something of an experiment in its latest effort "And the Drug Money" from its first season, which sees Max (Kat Dennings) and Caroline (Beth Behrs) taking part in a drug trial to raise enough money to hire Caroline's lawyer in a deposition for her father. "And the Drug Money" makes some progress in correcting 2 Broke Girls on its low attention span, but still makes a few missteps.
Boy, we’ve reached that awkward time of year where (if you’re anything like me), good TV just winds further down and down, and we’re simply waiting for the network shows to run out the clock, coast by on the good Summer programming we know to be ahead, and end up right back where we started. It’s too early for season finales, but its not »

'Fifty Shades of Grey': Let's cast the whole movie!
6 April 2012 2:14 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Before the movie version of mega-best-selling erotic novel Fifty Shades of Grey was officially announced, we named our picks to play the two amorous leads, Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele. Now that we know that the film is really under way, we’ve cast the net wider to imagine actors in a bunch of the smaller roles. Author E L James drove a hard bargain when it came to fielding offers from movie studios — she and her agent, Valerie Hoskins, insisted on script, director, and main cast approval.
It’s apparent that James and Hoskins are doing what they can »

TV Dial: Christopher Mintz-Plasse Says 'Friend Me'; 'Angry Birds' Get New Life As Series; Sundance Doc 'The Queen of Versailles' Heads To Bravo
4 April 2012 6:21 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
With big screen funny folks like Jason Segel and Kat Dennings scoring big hits on TV with "How I Met Your Mother" and "2 Broke Girls," another comic actor is making the small screen leap. Christopher Mintz-Plasse will take the lead in the new CBS comedy "Friend Me." Penned by Alan Kirschenbaum ("Raising Hope") and Ajay Sahgal, the show will center on two friends, Evan (Mintz-Plasse) and Rob (Nicholas Braun of "Red State" fame), who move from Indiana to L.A. to work for GroupOn. That still doesn't explain why it's called "Friend Me" but maybe Facebook didn't clear their brand for the show. Sounds like it's right in the geeky wheelhouse that has made "The Big Bang Theory" such a smash hit, so this has potential. The series is currently at the pilot stage. [Deadline]
Questions also abound for a series based on "Angry Birds," the cell phone game app created by Rovio. »
