Shane, Shane, Shane. Y'know, I found the whole thing with Shane and the wedding party to be so... surreal. At first, it was obvious that she'd wind up getting together with one of the bridesmaids, and it was funny when she did. But then... it got so out of hand, I started to roll my eyes and become bored with it all. Right. Shane's a player, Shane's got magnetism of epic proportions... whatever. I get it!The scene I liked most was when Shane had a true heart-to-heart with the bride. Now, the question is, when Shane said "You remind me of somebody I used to know," who was she referring to? As I was watching the scene, I had thought in the very beginning of the scene that the bride looked a lot like Dana. Do you think that was to whom Shane was referring, or was it Carmen? I think it was Dana.My favorite scene tonight was Kit's arrival in the prison. Foxy Brown in the house! I loved the scene between her and Helena, as if Kit was helping Helena decipher code. Great comedy, and so subt...

Leisha Hailey and Marlee Matlin in The L Word by Paul Michaud/Showtime
The Jan. 20 episode of The L Word includes a scene written by the winner of the "You Write It" event at LWord.FanLib.com.... The freaky dark comedy Southland Tales — what is sure to be the only movie ever to boast The Rock, Buffy the vampire slayer and American Pie's Stifler among its cast — will be released on DVD March 18.... The Floods: Good Neighbors (shop Amazon), Colin Thompson's new novel about the spookiest family this side of the Addamses, is out today. While its mix of wizardry and wisecracks make it the next best thing to a new Harry Potter book, I personally recommend it because Crab Scrambly's illustrations are the coolest things this side of the grave. — Ben Katner

WeLcome back, everyone! I thought this was a very strong season premiere, how about you? In particular, I loved the humor... it feels like with every season, as the cast chemistry and characters continue to evolve, the sense of humor gets more and more wicked-delicious. The biggest surprise for me tonight was how much I now love Jenny. I think it's great that the writers have decided to embrace her bitchiness to the fullest and make her into a "Hollywood Diva," rather than a self-loathing masochistic whiner. I would much rather enjoy despising Jenny, and this new version of her feels like that guilty pleasure, "love to hate" soap opera vixen. I think I can roll with this... and it looks like Mia Kirshner is having a blast with this new take on her character, too. So many of the scenes between her and the other girls, in particular, Tina, were just fantastic, because they were so over-the-top. May as well make her operatically bitchy, because at least we can have fun with that! I was...

Leisha Hailey in The L Word by Paul Michaud/Showtime
The when: Sundays at 9 pm/ET, with Season 5 premiering Jan. 6.What's what: A look inside the lives of a kaffeeklatsch of Los Angeles-based lesbian and bisexual women and their lovers, relatives, friends and acquaintances.Who's who: It's a very large cast, but the core characters are: Alice (played by Leisha Hailey), an open-hearted if mildly acerbic radio host; Jenny (Mia Kirshner), a somewhat troubled writer who finds success with an autobiographical novel about the group; curator and professor Bette (Jennifer Beals) and studio executive Tina (Laurel Holloman), a couple who split but share custody of a daughter and otherwise uncomfortably remain in each other's orbit; hairstylist and former adolescent prostitute Shane (Katherine Moenig), who's unsurprisingly rather guarded and afraid of commitment, but is also fiercely loyal and apparently irresistible to many women; and, increasingly, Kit (Pam Grier), Bette's "straight" older half-sister, who's attempting to restart her aborted si...

Wallace Shawn, The L Word
He may be best known for his portrayal of Vizzini in The Princess Bride, but the truth is that any time there's a successful television show featuring gorgeous women, you can expect to see character actor Wallace Shawn making a brief but memorable guest appearance. From Sex and the City and Desperate Housewives, Shawn now makes the leap to The L Word (Sunday at 9 pm/ET, Showtime) for a four-episode arc, playing William Halsey, the financier of Jenny's fictional film. Shawn chatted with TVGuide.com about being the only guy on-set and why he loves the controversial drama.
TVGuide.com: Who is your character?Wallace Shawn: Well, that depends on who you ask. Actors are advocates for their characters, like lawyers, so I would say that I think he was in love with young Jenny and he wanted to change his life and go fr
