Tags: IMDbJoni LefkowitzSusanna FogelLife PartnersChasing LifemoviesMovie NewsGabourey SidibeKate McKinnon
Back in 2008, we posted episodes of Joni & Susanna, the WB web series written by and starring real life BFFs Joni Lefkowitz and Susana Fogel. After that introduction, the two have moved on to work on several projects together, including the upcoming ABC Family series Chasing Life and the play-turned-film Life Partners, which has had some exciting developments since we last spoke with Joni in 2011.
Two years ago, Amanda Walsh and Shannon Woodward starred in the stage version of Life Partners. From our review:
In the opening scene the two are at a pride parade, where Paige (not a lesbian) drunkenly declares that she will not get married until Sasha can too. This is all hypothetical of course, as neither woman is in a relationship. Years pass and Paige falls in love with a man. When he pops the question she says "yes, »

Casting Net: Jessica Chastain in talks to join Christopher Nolan's 'Interstellar', more
2 May 2013 6:39 PM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
• Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty) is reportedly in talks to join Christopher Nolan’s (The Dark Knight Rises) time-travel epic, Interstellar. She’d be joining a cast that currently includes Oscar-winner Anne Hathaway and Matthew McConaughey. Since she’s started getting more significant roles, Chastain has never really ventured into pure science fiction territory (we’re not counting Take Shelter). She famously dropped out of Oblivion when offered the Zero Dark Thirty role, so we’re excited for her to take on a new kind of film. The two-time Oscar nominee (The Help, Zero Dark Thirty) is currently filming Liv Ullmann »

Gossip Girl actor Penn Badgley on playing Jeff Buckley, leaving La and his attempt to bring the World Cup to America
Hi! Where are you right now and what are you doing?
I am home in New York, eating oatmeal. It's one of the first beautiful days of the year, so I think I may go to the park. Lay in the sun, on the grass, get some fresh air. That's really all I have planned.
I thought movie stars were too busy to do that sort of thing?
When you're working hard and the hours are long, yeah. You're not sleeping much, you don't have the time or energy for anything else. But when you're not …
You can be a bum?
Exactly. It's a beautiful balance.
Your breakout role was playing Dan Humphrey in Gossip Girl for six years, where you became a tabloid fixture (1). What was the best thing about it? »

Guess Who?

Long before they were co-workers at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, "Mad Men" stars Jay R. Ferguson (Stan Rizzo) and Vincent Kartheiser (Pete Campbell) were teen heartthrobs in the '90s.
As Pajiba recently pointed out, native Texan Ferguson was plucked out of obscurity to play the role of Ponyboy Curtis in the TV adaptation of the feature film "The Outsiders" in 1989. He moved out to Los Angeles at the age of 14 for the part and has been working pretty steadily since.
Here he is in 1990:
And another picture of young Ferguson with David Arquette, who played Two-Bit in "The Outsiders," at the Earthwalk Benefit in 1990:
Ferguson was quite the teen magazine regular:

After "The Outisders" was cancelled 13 episodes in, Ferguson was cast in the Burt Reynolds-fronted sitcom "Evening Shade." He starred on the CBS comedy as Reynolds' character's eldest son throughout the show's four-season run. »

PopWatch Playlist: First-time TV tunes that struck a chord -- Listen

Last night’s flashback-tastic New Girl episode, “Virgins,” was a treasure trove of music to set the mood — some songs more successfully than others — as the loftmates looked back on their first sexual encounters. Anchoring the eclectic mix (which ranged from Sublime to Boyz II Men and even figured in Lisa Loeb), Ellie Goulding’s “Anything Could Happen” kicked in during a fan-fulfilling scene between Nick (Jake Johnson) and Jess (Zooey Deschanel).
It got us thinking of some of our favorite first-time anthems from shows of yore. Below, our ultimate Spotify playlist of coupling tracks!

DVD Review: 'The Oranges'
30 April 2013 10:11 AM, PDT | CineVue | See recent CineVue news »
★★☆☆☆ With second film The Oranges (2011), Julian Farino is still a far way off securing any form of distinctive directorial style, his latest a simplistic story of small-town outrage. Nina Ostroff (Leighton Meester) returns home and is quickly introduced to the Walling family's eligible son Toby (Adam Brody), but the neighbouring families are shocked to learn that she has her eyes on his father, David (Hugh Laurie). Cue heated arguments about the age gap and some misplaced moments of comedy. With modern cinema currently under siege from quirky rom-coms and offbeat dramedies, we're hardly in need of any new contributions.
And yet, The Oranges could easily have benefited from a greater injection of such aforementioned whimsy. In all likelihood, it's an American film which would have unravelled the peculiar dynamics of suburban scandal had Tim Burton or Wes Anderson been in the director's hot-seat. Instead, Farino struggles to elude the melodramatic »
