Best. Lesbian. Week. Ever. (December 19, 2008)

EVEN JENNIFER BEALS DOESN’T KNOW WHAT ILENE CHAIKEN IS UP TO

Who wants some girls in tight dresses? Of course you do, you naughty minxes, of course you do. The new character and group promo shots for the lovely ladies of The L Word were released this week and they look like a literal interpretation of those damn Betty lyrics.

Yes, Shane in a dress. No, the universe no longer makes sense. Someone, hold me.

Also, that big honking “Fin” was not my poetic Photoshopping license. And speaking of Photoshop, the marketers got busy with their favorite program in the other shots as well. I mean, seriously, could they be more obvious by including both a pool and a sunset in this shot? Hey, Showtime, your metaphors are showing.

For their solo shots, the ladies largely give their interpretations on the little black dress.

Hey, where is her other arm? Did Bette have a nasty encounter with the business end of one of Jodi’s metal sculptures?

On the plus side, Tina looks vamptastic. And, look, a tattoo.

Hallelujah. Shane is out of that dress. The world makes sense again.

Did Alice piss off the costume department? On the plus side, if she is ever in a shipwreck, that dress could easily double as a flotation device.

Tasha would make Sir Mix-a-Lot proud with this pose.

Bette’s arm and now Helena’s leg. What have these poor appendages done to deserve this wretched fate?

Kit, damn girl. That is all.

However, Daniela Sea, Cybill Shepherd and Marlee Matlin must have missed the memo about picture day because they all got their promos from Season 4 recycled (and clothing Photoshopped to black) instead. I’ve grouped them together, so as not to be redundant. And, before you ask, Mia Kirshner was nowhere to be found amid the solo shots. Jenny Schecter, wherefore art thou?

While there isn’t too much illumination to be found in these new pictures, there are some revealing comments from Jennifer Beals about the big murder/accidental death/who-the-hell-cares mystery of the season. The actress apparently told The National Ledger that she was “completely” surprised by the developments and was thrown “a little off-balance by it. It seemed very different from what we had done prior, but you kind of roll with the flow. We’ll see what happens.”

She confirms that the season is, indeed, told in flashback and doesn’t know how the final product will be edited. As she said:

They didn’t have to tell all of us, or any of us. The only thing is, it would help me with doing press. I really have no attachment. To me, after it’s done, I rarely watch it. All those people in the studio that were there when we wrapped – all the crew members, the production team, everybody – they’re all responsible for what we accomplished. … It’s not me, it’s a collective. That’s the beauty of film and television.

Hmm. Now, normally, I take what The National Ledger writes with a grain or bucket of salt. But then, when I read Jennifer’s quote about what is next for her, I started to trust the source a bit more. After taking some time off to relax, she said:

I’ll find another project, and I hope it will be as satisfying as The L Word, and we’ll see. I’m not in a huge hurry. I’ve been reading scripts with women characters who are not drawn very thoroughly. To be on a woman-centric show and then read scripts where a woman is an ancillary character is a rude awakening.

I don’t think even The National Ledger could make up a quote with the world “ancillary” in it. That’s got to be Jennifer.

So, “no attachment,” “it’s done,” “rarely watch” — that doesn’t exactly sound like a ringing endorsement of the new season. But then, maybe she is just acknowledging what we’ve all known for five seasons. This is Ilene Chaiken‘s crazy train and we’re just — willing or unwilling — along for the ride. Speaking of Mama Chaiken, guess who included an enormous promo shot of herself (in a tank top, no less) among the cast promos?

Hubris, now that’s another word I bet Jennifer would know how to use properly in a sentence.

MELISSA ETHERIDGE IS DISAPPOINTED IN ELISABETH HASSELBECK

I’m really glad that Elisabeth Hasselbeck has found someone who loves her. I’m happy that someone (a man, of course) actually thought she might be worth marrying.

Good for you, Hasselbeck. Now it saves me from campaigning against you being able to be with the one you love (and who, for some reason, appears to love you back).

OK, I wouldn’t do that (obviously), but I might campaign against her being able to speak her mind on The View if she didn’t sound stupid and cry so much. (Having Whoopi and Joy there to keep her in check gives me the ultimate satisfaction.) But there are definitely times when I want to reach through the TV screen and give her a talking to, which is what Melissa Etheridge so subtley tried to do on today’s show. (Click on the link to watch the video.)

Melissa Etheridge appeared on The View this morning and spoke for myself and other gays) who told Elizabeth Hasselbeck, “I’m disappointed in you.” (That always hurts more than “I’m mad at you,” right?)

“The rights of the minority should never be voted on the direct democracy of the majority,” Etheridge said, quoting Thomas Jefferson and speaking on equal protection under the law. Hasselbeck acted like she agreed for a moment (“I didn’t vote on Prop. 8. I wasn’t there.”) before the singer asked her, “So you’re saying you’re for gay marriage?”

Right as Hasselback attempted to backpedal on previous statements she’d made in defense of Proposition 8, co-host Sherri Sheperd brought the conversation back to Melissa’s Christmas album.

What’s wrong, producers? Too much political talk past November? Too close to Christmas for all that gay talk? At least Melissa put in her two cents to Mrs. Hasselbeck. Whoopi and Joy seemed to have fun watching, and Rosie doesn’t appear to be invited back anytime soon.

It might be time to have another lesbian View to make Hasselbeck uncomfortable. Melissa, what are you doing after the holiday?

LESBIAN QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“There was a girl named Jackie Bell, who didn’t have many friends and I loved her. I just loved her. We were total opposites, everybody would say things like dyke about her and of course at that age I didn’t know what that word meant. I honestly didn’t. I was extremely naïve but for whatever reason I just loved this girl and she was just awesome and we stayed friends through high school and obviously I learned what the word dyke meant.”

– actor/singer Kristin Chenoweth (Pushing Daisies) to AfterEllen.com

 

COSMOPOLITAN COVERS “WHAT IT’S LIKE TO LOVE A GIRL”

When I heard that Cosmopolitan was featuring a real-live lesbian love story in January’s issue, I resolved to lay aside my differences with the magazine (Photoshopped covers that destroy a normal woman’s body image, volumes of tips on keeping a man satisfied, and over-perfumed pages), and pick up a copy.

It didn’t go smoothly.

I passed by the magazine rack half a dozen times, glancing at the cover, trying to stealthily decipher whether or not there was actual lesbian content inside. A person could lose all queer street cred if she got caught red-handed with a magazine promising advice on “guy-pleasuring touches” and “how to deal when your man gets moody.”

Then, on my seventh pass by the magazine stand, I saw it: “Angelina Did It. So Did Lindsay. What It’s Like To Love A Girl.”

The article is a Q&A with Jennifer Duncan and Stacey Book, two women who met in Central America while working on CBS’s Amazing Race.

Both women talk about how they knew they were gay, but weren’t out at work. They both had crushes on one another, but didn’t know how the other felt. Then:

Jenn: The next day the race was in Costa Rica where, where I was working with a male producer named Dave, who confided in me that he had a crush on Stacey. Meanwhile, I’m thinking Me too! The crew decided to take a boat ride. Dave, Stacey and I were the last to get to the dock. There was a nice catamaran and an old pontoon boat, both of which were nearly full, so there wasn’t room for all three of us on either. Dave jumps on the catamaran, I jump on the pontoon, and Stacey is just standing there on the dock. We both look at her as if to say So, which boat is it?

Stacey: It was really clear what was going on. Dave’s boat was way cooler, but I got on the boat with Jenn. I knew my choice would out me.

The interview is sweet and funny and so not your typical Cosmo fare. They spend two pages talking about falling in love, how they knew it was forever and planning their wedding.

There are fingerprints of straightness all over the article, from the picture captions (Jenn’s decision to wear a suit was a sign of self-acceptance) to the sidebar teaser (What’s the biggest difference between a straight couple and a fun, fearless female couple who decide they want to spend the rest of their lives with one another? The chicks both get engagement rings), but as greentara313 pointed out in the forums, Cosmo is usually so intensely straight that any lesbian coverage at all is something to talk about.

If you need another reason to drop five bucks on the magazine, there’s an entire mini-guide inside called Bedside Astrologer 2009. I wonder if there’s a difference between straight and gay horoscopes. I hope not. Apparently, short getaways, impromptu parties and no-holds-barred nooky will be the order of my next year.

UK’S SURVIVORS REMAKE FEATURES BISEXUAL CHARACTER

A character on the BBC mini-series Survivors was revealed to play for our team this week — now let’s hope she doesn’t die.

Not to be confused with the CBS reality show Survivor, this UK program is a remake of Terry Nation‘s novel-inspired 1970s hit series about a flu epidemic that wipes out almost the entire human race.

As the tagline goes: “One virus, millions dead, a few survivors.” So uplifting.

However, this new incarnation set in the present day is way more hip, as Anya the cute doctor (played by Affinity‘s Zoe Tapper) brought up her girlfriend for the first time on last night’s episode. Unfortunately, it was in reference to her girlfriend having just died from the bloody flu. (Thanks for the tip, talkingguineapig!)

Anya, who is doing her best to help flu victims who have fallen ill, says she’s been with men before so wasn’t sure what she “was,” but had fallen in love with her friend, Jenny (Freema Agyeman), who died in the first episode. Oddly, the scenes they’d shared together depicted them as friends, and nothing more.

The last part of the mini-series airs next Tuesday on the BBC, so UK readers will be able to find out if Anya has any more to say on her relationship with Jenny, such as why she didn’t act like she loved her when she was dying in the hospital of the flu. That sort of seems like the time when you couldn’t care less about who knows about your bisexuality, wouldn’t you say? Also, will Anya herself survive?

RACHEL MADDOW MAKES HER MARK IN VOGUE

Rachel Maddow is “making her mark on cable news by keeping her cool when everyone else is losing theirs,” says the January issue of Vogue. Yes, Vogue — the fashion magazine.

Of course, we weren’t surprised when our Rachel (we can say that, right? It’s not creepy, it’s prideful, I swear) made it in the OUT 100 or on the cover of The Advocate; that’s to be expected, given Maddow’s rise to news superstardom this year. And now she’s making her way into mainstream style magazines.

The Vogue feature on Maddow, Katie Couric and Campbell Brown, called “Shaping the News,” was posted online today and features a fantastic photo of Maddow sporting — not the typical ridiculous Vogue-esque get-up some might have imagined — but her usual quirky glasses, snazzy suit and Converse sneakers.

This is, of course, one of the reasons she’s so well-liked, and Vogue knows it, writing:

Her style of political discourse is a break from the shouting, point-counterpoint approach that dominates cable news, instead emphasizing her relentlessly cheerful, conscientiously concise opinions. “I’m trying to get people to agree with me,” she says. “I am trying to say, ‘Here’s how I see the world.’ Not everybody’s going to agree with me. But I think that I make sense, and I would like you to think that I make sense, too, because I think that we can make sense of this world together, you and me, if” — and here she shifts into a fake TV announcer’s voice — “you’ll just follow along!”

This year, a feature story; next year, a cover model?

AUBREY O’DAY: POP STAR WITH A GIRLFRIEND OR PUBLICITY HOUND

After the first time ex-Danity Kane member Aubrey O’Day was said to have been spotted locking lips with New York socialite Lydia Hearst, most people likely chalked it up to a lame publicity stunt. But the pop star has continued to make headlines with a speculated same-sex romance (or least camera-ready make-outs).

Last week, O’Day reportedly brought an unnamed woman with her to some high-profile parties, introducing her as her girlfriend and, according to the New York Post, claiming that she was upset about Prop. 8 passing, saying, “We don’t need a piece of paper to validate our relationship.”

And she said her dog, Ginger, was “also a lesbian.”

While it’s no question that she’s getting a lot of attention for this strange sort of “coming out,” we shouldn’t just take the tabloids’ word that O’Day is suddenly “pulling a Lindsay” or “switching teams.” Even Fox News has jumped on the “OMG! Another lesbian!” bandwagon. But there have been hints that O’Day has liked women for quite a while.

In August of this year, O’Day took a turn on Broadway as Amber Von Tussle in Hairspray. In an interview with Broadway.com, she spoke openly about her sexuality:

At this point in my life I wouldn’t say one way or another what my preference is sexually. The only thing I’m looking for in life is incredible passion and honest love, and if that’s with a girl, a guy, a guy that dresses like a girl, a girl that dresses like a guy, whatever the options are on the table, all I really operate on is the way I feel in my heart when it comes to love.

Having been recently kicked out of Danity Kane by den mother P.Diddy (for taking too much attention for herself and away from the group as a whole) it’s easy to assume this natural “Show Stopper” is just a fan of attention. But she’s also BFF with Daniela Sea, and that certainly earns her some more queer points, you know, if you were keeping score.

Maybe we’re just waiting for her to talk about something she’s already addressed; so why are some people so skeptical? (It was the dog comment, wasn’t it?)

HISTERIA FEATURES FIRST MALAYSIAN LESBIAN KISS ON SCREEN

Histeria, a horror film being released in Malaysia today, will feature an on-screen lesbian kiss. So what, right? Well, it’s the first kiss shared by two Malaysian actresses on screen – ever. And it wasn’t easy getting it in there, either.

For starters, it didn’t have good odds for passing the Malaysia National Censorship Board, being that it was to be the very first girl-on-girl kiss. But the actresses weren’t even convinced they wanted to do it.

Nurliana Samsuddin and Sharifah Norazean, who are among a group of six boarding school girls (yes, this is a feature film, not adult film plot) who pretend to be possessed, thus evoking some actual demonic spirits. (Sounds a little bit like The Crucible, but without Winona Rider.)

In a recent interview, the stars talk candidly about how uncomfortable they were with the idea of locking lips, and they even tried to rely on tricky camera angles to create the illusion of such an awful encounter, but it wasn’t convincing enough – they had to suffer through a second take.

“Our lips touched briefly and that’s it,” Samsuddin told The New Straits Times. Sounds sexy! Now I can see why they are so worried about this film.

Samsuddin said says she’s received some flack from friends and family, but director James Lee stated that he simply wanted to show the reality of life in an all-girl school.

“Such relationships exist in schools and that’s the message we want to send to the audience,” Lee said.

I’m curious as to what Malaysian critics are more scared of – the idea that two actresses are willing to barely touch lips for a horror film or that there are actual lesbians in their all-girl boarding schools? Since it’s a horror film, though, they really shouldn’t worry – the lesbians will probably get killed off in the end. They always do.

PATRICIA CORNWELL SPEAKS UP FOR SAME-SEX MARRIAGE

Patricia Cornwell gives hope to lesbian writers.

No, not that kind of hope, although she certainly cuts an attractive figure. I’m talking about the kind of hope that finds Cornwell driving a Ferrari Spider, piloting her own Bell 407 helicopter and zooming around on one of her Harleys.

Cornwell gives hope by proving that a lesbian writer can make a more-than-comfortable living from writing. She has done so for quite a while.

About a year ago, Cornwell came out publicly to The Daily Telegraph and in June of this year, gave the requisite Advocate interview, speaking at length about her relationship with Staci Gruber, a professor at Harvard Medical School whom she married in 2005 in their home state of Massachusetts. Although Cornwell had been fairly private about her personal life, her solid relationship with Gruber gave her the confidence to be open about her sexual orientation.

Last week, in an interview with Reuters, Cornwell spoke out again, this time about Proposition 8, which reversed a court decision that allowed same-sex marriage in California.

“Maybe it is a function of getting older,” she said, “but I think it is important to stand up and be counted. When you’re not in a relationship your sexual orientation is more theoretical but it becomes more real when you are with somebody and you are not going to hide that.

“It is no longer theoretical when you have people voting against what you believe is your right, making it illegal, when one of the best things about me is the person I am with.”

While I’m not sure I agree about the “theoretical” part, I do appreciate that Cornwell is speaking up, especially given her fan base. Every time she releases a new book, it shoots to the top of the New York Times Bestseller List. And her appeal spreads to people like Barbara Bush, to whom she dedicated one of her books, and the late Ruth (Mrs. Billy) Graham.

Cornwell hopes that she can help change opinions about gay marriage by being open and encouraging others to do the same. As she told USA Today, “If more people just knew everyday people who happened to live with a same-sex person, they would realize we’re the same as they are.”

JANE LYNCH BRINGS IT ON

Hoping to piggyback off the cataclysmic success of Disney’s High School Musical movies, Fox has ordered 13 episodes of a musical comedy series called Glee. The one-hour show will follow an idealistic chorus teacher as he tries to inspire a group of ragamuffin students — plus a Zac Efron-esque star quarterback — to musical stardom.

You’re probably thinking that High School Musical has already told this story three times, and wondering if there any possible way to make the show fresh and engaging.

Yes, yes there is: Glee will star Jane Lynch — as a cheerleading coach.

Just let that ruminate. This morning you woke up thinking something was missing from your life, but you just couldn’t put your finger on it. Now, I am telling you that Fox has created a show where Bring it On meets Sister Act, and Jane Lynch is going to get to say something like, “This is not a democracy; it’s a cheerocracy. I’m sorry, but I’m overruling you.”

And then some punk kid is going to be all, “You’re a cheertator, Jane Lynch, and a pain in my ass.”

And then Jane Lynch is going to eat that kid for breakfast.

It’s the show you never knew you needed!

Lynch’s character, Sue Sylvester, will be an antagonist to the optimistic new glee club director (played by Ryan Murphy). I suppose there will be some recruitment rivalry as show choir and cheerleading usually pull students with the same skill set. At the very least, they both require jazz hands.

There’s no firm air date yet, but the pilot has already been filmed. Fox reps say they hope to debut the show this spring.

LESBIAN QUOTE OF THE WEEK NO. 2

“Lesbians and straight girls are the perfect marriage because the lesbian isn’t a threat to the straight girl’s game, and the straight girl gets validation from the thought that if she were gay, the lesbian would want to be with her.”

– actor/writer Joni Lefkowitz (Joni & Susanna) to AfterEllen.com

GRO OF ARC, AND OTHER QUEER RENDITIONS OF GREAT WOMEN IN HISTORY

This photo was just released of openly gay Norwegian handball star Gro Hammerseng — whom you might remember from the Olympics, where she led her team to a Gold medal — in an upcoming calendar for Norwegian magazine Henne wearing a 40 kg (88 pound) armored knight costume in a recreation of a Joan of Arc battle scene:

It’s a stunning photo, and before you ask — no, it isn’t photoshopped. They actually recreated the battle scene for the photo shoot, like they do on movie sets.

“We wanted to show people the celebrities in a surprising and different situation with weight on the cultural historical and literary setting, with a touch of ‘fairytale,'” said the calendar’s editor. “As an editor, it’s fantastic to be able to play so much while shooting.”

(Apparently it wasn’t as much fun for photographer Mona Nordoy, who said the horse began to run off at one point when Gro leaned too far in one direction, and she “almost puked” because, “I was afraid I had ruined the career of one of Norway’s biggest athletes.”)

The calendar’s editor-in-chief is very pleased with how Gro’s picture turned out, saying, “The combination of femininity and masculinity is fantastic.”

This photo got me thinking — what would it look like if someone created a calendar exclusively of lesbian and bisexual women recreating famous women in history?

I decided to try my hand at envisioning what one might look like (since it’s a weekend, and I clearly have too much free time). The results are below.

(In case Ellen’s head on Queen Elizabeth’s body didn’t give it away — yes, these photos ARE photoshopped!)

(Heh. It was hard not to laugh while making this last one! Even Lindsay seems to be laughing at the idea of her as Marie Curie.)

Alas, since it’s unlikely that we’ll see such a calendar anytime soon, I’m just going to enjoy this photo one more time:

Yep, still stunning!

2008: WHAT A LONG STRANGE YEAR IT’S BEEN

This week we published our 2008 Visibility Awards, presenting the best and worst of lesbian/bi entertainment of the year, in 29 categories. Several of the winners were chosen by you — like Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8 (Best Graphic Novel), Gro Hammerseng and Katja Nyberg (Best International Lesbian Couple), and Water Lilies (Best Festival Release).

And although Ellen DeGeneres gave her a run for her money, Rachel Maddow was voted America’s Lesbian/Bi Woman of the Year.

Winners among the editorially chosen categories included the edited lesbian sex scene on House M.D. (Worst Lesbian Moment on Scripted TV), Missy Higgins’s “Where I Stood” (Best Song) and Wanda Sykes (Most Surprising Coming-Out).

This week we also published comprehensive (and hopefully enertaining) overviews of and commentary on the trends and events of the year in lesbian/bi music, movies, and television.

The overall takeaway? 2008 was a good year for queer women in film and music, not so good for us on TV.

But enough about our opinions on the year in entertainment — here are a few of your comments about 2008:

“Best of 2008 [music]…definitely hercules and love affair.. amazing!!

amanda palmer kicks ass and lady gaga’s beats keep drilling my head for days (in a good way).” — rockstar

“Missy Higgins … I love her first album and am sad to say I haven’t got her second yet, but she’s extremely talented and to hear that she came out as bisexual was brilliant.The LGBT community may be a minority, by man do we get some amazing talent in there.” — x.Lorna.x

“Glad Grey’s won worst show but Brooke’s amazing performance in the ‘leaves’ scene got recognition. It was the acting far more than the writing that made that scene, I thought.” — okinawansteel

“[Water Lilies] seemed to get a pretty mixed reaction in the mainstream heterosexual press, but the lesbians who see it almost always have a much deeper understanding of the subtleties of the film and its characters.” — Sorcha

“Other than [Water Lilies] I thought 2008 films were fabulous! Its almost hard to believe that Notes On A Scandal was filmed only a couple of years ago.” — Vicki

“yeah pepa and silvia [on Los Hombres de Paco]!!! que bonito! me encanta! not only is their story very romantic and well written and performed. it also made me learn a whole lot of spanish in just 3 months!” — jayweh

“I am STILL flabbergasted by the dichotomous nature of ABC…How can they produce the best AND worst scripted lesbian themed storylines?” — empiremunchies

“I feel like Bianca and Reese have been one of the few bright lights that have come out of this year. I admit, AMC is one of the only things on network TV that I watch on a regular basis right now–and only for those two.” — wyle e cayote

“It’s been an interesting year [in TV]. Although there might have been a lot of bad representation, at least we had plenty to complain about. It always makes me wonder whether bad lesbians/bi characters are better/worse than none at all…” — Natazz

“I’m so happy to see Wanda Sykes to get some recognition for coming out. It really was hard to pick [between] her and Rachel Maddow for American Lesbian Of The Year.” — Miss Ketina

“I had to read all the way until the end to find out that Rachel Maddow did indeed win [Lesbian/Bi Woman of the Year]. Score one for the brainiacs! Phew!” — The Emperor Has No Clothes

“All in all it was a good year, but with a lot of eye-rolling moments.” — pancreas

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!

Out Gossip frontwoman Beth Ditto landed a $400,000 deal to design a line of clothes in the 14-32 size range for Evans, the plus-size retail giant.

Jessica Stroup is all for a girl-on-girl-on-boy threesome on 90210.

Nominees for the 2008 Lambda Literary Awards have been announced.

Lifetime is looking for lesbian moms for a new documentary series about fertility challenges among American women.

Both Melissa Etheridge and Lucy Lawless are going to be appearing on The Bonnie Hunt Show today. (Thanks for the tip, Tory!) Etheridge also appeared on Fox’s On The Record yesterday.

Buffy writer/producer Jane Espenson is working on a graphic novel about Willow’s ex-boyfriend, Oz.

The annual Broadway Backwards concert, benefiting New York’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender (LGBT) Community Center, will go up on February 9, 2009. Tickets go on sale the first week of January, and the show will feature Whoopi Goldberg and Megan Mullally.

AfterElton.com readers overwhelmingly chose Ellen DeGeneres as their favorite lesbian in their annual Visibility Awards.

The popular U.K. drama Mistresses, which co-stars Shelley Conn (Nina’s Heavenly Delights) as a wedding planner who falls for one of her (female) clients, is coming to America — the series will debut on BBC America in March.

If you’re not familiar with the European-focused lesbian website EurOut.org and you live outside the U.S. — you should be! Although only a few months old, the site covers everything from lesbians in commercials, to lesbian-themed music videos in Asia, to being out at work. Now they’re in need of vloggers, so if you have a video camera and an opinion, let them know!

The next YCTTA! episode (Switzerland part two) will be posted on Jan. 5, and the next episode of Anyone But Me on Tuesday, Jan. 6. There will be no Cheap Seats episode this weekend.

Update on the short film festival: we haven’t forgotten about it! We’ll be posting the winner(s) in January. Apologies for the delay to those of you who submitted films ? December just ended up being a lot busier than we expected.

With the holidays coming up next week, we’ll be taking a break from publishing new content on AfterEllen.com from Dec. 24 through Jan. 4. Feel free to chat amongst yourselves on the site while we’re gone!

When we get back in January, you can look forward to a new round of awkward interviews when This Just Out with Liz Feldman, a new season of Cherry Bomb, and the final season of The L Word recapped in all their glory by scribegrrrl, and in the short, facebook-format by StuntDouble, and then vlogged by Jenn and Dee on Come With Me If You Want to Live (Whew! That’s a lot of L Word content!) Plus we’ll be bringing you the usual news, reviews, interviews, and blog posts, as well as ongoing improvements to our site.

Happy holidays, and we’ll see you next year!
