It's good advice for your love life, but as Jeremy Sisto finds out in "Break Point," those tips work well on the tennis court too.

Taking over "Chelsea Lately" one night last week wasn't enough for those Kardashians. On the season finale of "After Lately," Chelsae Handler's friend, Heather McDonald, tricked the late-night host into a dinner with the Kardashians. It was a dinner that quickly became awkward on the mockumentary series.
The Kardashians were clearly ready to snap back at Handler for all the jokes she's made at their expense on her show. "How is it being utterly alone?" Khloe asked her at one point.
"How are your black lovers?" Handler threw back at the sisters. Things got so crazy that they even started trying to one-up each other with their dead relatives.
"I have a dead brother and dead mother," Chelsea said. Khloe retorted, "We have a dead father." It was Kim who came in as the voice of reason, asking, "How is that relevant?"
In the end, the Kardashians got their revenge.

If you're wondering why someone Lgbt on your Facebook is against marriage, maybe this Salon piece will help explain them to you. Out lesbian law professor Nancy Polikoff explains her reasoning:
My critique of marriage stems from the 1970s. As gay people began talking about this more, there were these questions about using the resources of fledgling legal groups on marriage. There was a significant contingent of people who identified as feminists who said, “This is the wrong approach, this isn’t what we should be doing.” That viewpoint carried the day for a long time. My point of view dates back to long before where we are now.
An interesting perspective! But on the other side of the coin, if you stand with Edith Windsor in her case against Doma, check out this site and add your name.

Kate begins, "I've been sort of looking at your body a bit, and I feel like . . . it's not great, Chelsea,” to which Chelsea replies, "Well, okay, I get it. You have a great body. But you don't need to stick my face in it. I see it! I mean, if I start doing this on a regular [basis], when does it kick in, the yoga?"
Beckinsale continues, "It's not just the yoga. It's also what you're eating and what you're doing. You've got quite a toxic lifestyle… I'm having juice. I'm having absolutely no food at all,...

Good morning!
The Arrested Development documentary makers are seeking some finishing funds. I'm sure this will happen in no time.
Annie Clark, Cristine Prosperi and Degrassi producers Linda Schuyler and Stephen Stohn talked with EW and there are a lot of great tidbits about how Fiona wasn't intended to be a lesbian character but evolved into one, and the future of her relationship with Imogen. It's a must-read for Fimogen fans!
Jane Lynch went on Gwissues this week to talk about some upcoming roles. There's never enough of the Lynch.
Author Willa Cather's personal letters are about to be published and it sounds like lesbian rumors might be true. It also appears she was born on the same day as me, so clearly she must be gay. That's how it works.
Out comic artist Nicole Georges wrote about her teenage obsession with Kurt Cobain for NPR.

Following roles in in Hawaii Five-0 and Harry's Law, Jean Smart has found a new comedy role, according to Deadline. She's joined the Craig Robinson-centered pilot, which has Robinson playing a musician who becomes a middle school music teacher. Smart will play the stressed out principal of Robinson's school.
Good news, Mr. Feeny will be a part of Boy Meets World follow-up series Girl Meets World as William Daniels will reprise the role. Those of you who thought it would be hard to revisit Cory and Topanga without Mr. Feeny's sage advice, you can let out a sigh of relief.
Whoa. The second season of Baby Daddy doesn't debut for another two months, but ABC Family has already ordered a third season.

Our friends over at E! sent us this clip from next Monday's episode of After Lately which features lesbian comedian Fortune Feimster confronting Kevin Nealon about hitting her car in the parking lot... and accidentally showing him her sex photos in the process. "Looks like you have someone in a scissor lock," says Nealon. "Are you cage fighting?"
Everything about Feimster (name/appearance/line delivery) is hilarious-- this woman needs to be a bigger star.
[logo_video_player|video_id=890858|width=540|height=350]
In addition to Nealon, this episode also features a a guest appearance by Kate Beckinsale who guilts Chelsea Handler into doing a juice cleanse. Of course, Chelsea forces her staff to do it with her and everyone's at each other’s throats due to hunger by day two. They resort to discussing, if it came down to it, who would eat Chris Franjola’s penis.
After Lately airs Monday at 10:30pm on E!

In a sharp business move, the building that serves as The Vampire Diaries' Mystic Grill, is being turned into a restaurant so that fans who travel to Convington, Georgia to see where their favorite show is filmed can have a Vampire Diaries-themed meal.

And during the course of the conversation Reese gets a bit pushy, asking Handler how much money she earns and poking fun at the fact that she doesn’t have kids.
When Chelsea fires back, Reese blurts out, “You didn’t have this life before you met me. It’s kind of like you could break your life into two parts: Before Reese, B.R., After Reese, A.R. And this office is definitely, like, After Reese, A.R., okay? Not like I’m comparing myself to Jesus or anything.”...

Handler couldn't believe that Winfrey even knew who she was, much less so much about her. First, though, she had to get over how weird it was for her that the Oprah Winfrey was in her house. Even though she doesn't get starstruck, there are stars and then there is Oprah Winfrey.
"She was quoting things from my books and from my TV shows and then she asked me about my dad sleeping with his Jamaican cleaning lady," Handler said. She even told Winfrey, "Oprah, this is awkward to talk to you."

Good morning! Happy Monday!
A film called Vic and Flo Saw a Bear follows French actresses Pierrette Robitaille and Romane Bohringer as lovers who are also ex-convicts. The drama follows the women as they are released from prison and attempt to live normal lives, despite the presence of parole officers. It won the Alfred Bauer Prize at Berlinale this week, and sounds like it might have a bit of comedy to it, despite being referred to as melodramatic.
On Friday's episode of Portlandia, both Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen fall in love with and start dating their roommate, played by Chloe Sevigny. What you really need to know about this is that Carrie and Chloe make out. Thank you, IFC. Thank you.
So apparently Patti Stanger (aka The Millionaire Matchmaker) was once "a lesbian for a year.

She’s always been a fan of kooky antics, and Chelsea Handler is up to her old tricks on a new sneak preview of “After Lately” Season Three.
The 37-year-old comedienne dressed up as Lady Gaga for a new sketch, though she definitely seemed less-than-excited about the ordeal.
Handler declared, “Let’s get this over with because I’m not wearing this for long. What am I doing?” while clad in an outrageous getup complete with hair bow wig.
Director Chris Franjola fires back, “I don’t know what we’re doing. You sent me an e-mail at 2:00 in the morning. It said, ‘Divas, Cher, Gaga.’ This is what I came up with.”
Of her meat dress, Chelsea complains, "There's meat everywhere. You can't smell it? Let's hurry up. It's disgusting. I have prosciutto in my ears."...

The Ben Stiller–produced Bachelor parody Burning Love is headed to E!. Starting on February 25, the series will air at 10 p.m., before After Lately. They will be condensing the first season of the web series into seven half-hour episodes. It's perfect for those who missed seeing Ken Marino romance the likes of Jennifer Aniston, Kristen Bell, Malin Åkerman, and Ken Jeong in a wig. For obvious reasons, the first season was taken off Yahoo, but to get a sense of how eerily accurate it is, watch this preview for season two.
