Ask Matt | 2/29/2008
Q: I agree wholeheartedly with the concluding statement in your Oscar Dispatch that nothing from this year's show was worthy of being excerpted in the future. There were very few highlights. One for me was a reminder of how much I lus... love Kristin Chenoweth. Her big production number from Enchanted was scintillating. Also "enchanting" was Amy Adams' song from the movie. As for the winning song, I never even heard of the movie, let along the song. Several bloggers on your website have ... read more
NBC Applies More Lipstick | Today's News: Our Take | 2/25/2008
NBC has ordered an additional six episodes (for a total of 13) of Lipstick Jungle, its frothy freshman drama based on the book by Candace Bushnell.After three airings, Lipstick is winning its Thursdays-at-10 slot among women 18-49, women 18-34 and men who like seeing Kim Raver fake sexual ecstasy with that whole biting-the-lower-lip thing. Oh yes. read more
Ask Matt | 2/25/2008
Q: Why is it that when something is seen as bad or clumsily put together, it is automatically compared to a sitcom (as in your Lipstick Jungle review)? Yes, most use the term "bad sitcom," but as a sitcom writer, I find that statement to be a little offensive, because to me it implies that sitcoms are a lower form of entertainment then dramas. Why can't something just be bad? There are many bad shows out there, not just sitcoms. And for those sitcoms that truly are great, comparing a bad show... read more
Kim Raver Finds the Lighter Side of the Jungle | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 2/21/2008
We've seen Kim Raver on more intense, testosterone-fueled dramas like 24 and the highly touted but short-lived The Nine, but now she's switching gears to star in the estrogen-driven dramedy Lipstick Jungle (Thursdays at 10 pm/ET, NBC) as Nico Reilly, the tough-as-nails editor in chief of "Bonfire" magazine. We caught up with Raver to discuss the new show. TV Guide: Were you looking to do something lighter?Kim Raver: Definitely. I did Night at the Museum with Ben Stiller and I had so much fun... read more
Brooke Shields' Mom Unleashes, Again | Today's News: Our Take | 2/20/2008
Brooke Shields may be the model of decorum, but her mother is letting loose about her views on her star daughter in an upcoming interview, MSNBC reports. While Teri Shields was already a controversial figure in the 1970s and '80s, she's now reprising her role with a tell-all interview in the National Enquirer. In the piece, she expresses disappointment with her daughter, their relationship and with Brooke's husband, Chris Henchy. "I wish I could see Brooke," Teri says, "but all she does is... read more
Ask Ausiello | 2/13/2008
Q: OK, so I am really not feeling Cashmere Mafia or Lipstick Jungle. Do I need to cancel my season passes on these two, or should I give them another shot? A: Cancel Cashmere, but let Lipstick linger a few more weeks. Or at the very least through tomorrow's episode, which features both a rollicking guest turn by Lorraine Bracco and an adulterous Kim Raver having sex with a half-naked Robert Buckley. Speaking of the latter, next week the jig is nearly up when they do it on the floor above her... read more

Jeers: Andrew McCarthy Gets Lost in Jungle | Cheers & Jeers | 2/8/2008
Jeers to Lipstick Jungle for miscasting Andrew McCarthy as Joe Bennett, the billionaire who romances fashion designer Victory Ford (Lindsay Price). In Sex and the City scribe Candace Bushnell’s excruciatingly self-derivative new NBC dramedy, Mr. Bennett seems like a Mr. Big wannabe. But with his diffident, charisma-free performance, ex-Brat Packer McCarthy (Pretty in Pink) seems more like Mr. Medium-Size. read more

Fans Unite for the Rise, and Rising Up, of Jericho | Roush Review | 2/6/2008
With Jericho, it's always about survival, and the show's own tale of resurrection is at least as dramatic as what happens on screen. After fans rallied to save it from cancellation last year, CBS relented. The result: a seven-episode mini-season in which Jericho evolves from a postapocalyptic allegory into a deadly earnest conspiracy thriller doubling as a Revolutionary War parable. "At what point is this a country we don't even recognize?" says one of the good citizens of Jericho, Kansas.... read more

Kim Raver and Pals Lead Jungle Expedition to Saks | Party Central: The Latest Buzz from Your Favorite Stars | 2/1/2008
It was a jungle outside of Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City Thursday night — a Lipstick Jungle, that is. The stars of NBC's new drama braved below-freezing temperatures as they walked the red carpet in gorgeous sleeveless dresses. But even the frigid temps weren't enough for Kim Raver to stop gushing about the city the show calls home. "Being born and raised in New York City, I love [shooting here]," she says. "It's such an energized city. When you're shooting on the street you have it... read more

NBC Strikes Back with "More Original Programming Than 1Q 2007" | Today's News: Our Take | 12/6/2007
NBC has at long last unveiled its own "strike schedule," and there's little to be surprised by here, as it has been leaked out in drips and drabs over recent weeks. Of note, NBC touts the slate as offering "significantly more hours of original programming than was ever the case in the first quarter of 2007."The highlights:• As of Jan. 1, The Biggest Loser returns with new two-hour blocks, followed by SVU.• Celebrity Apprentice airs Thursdays at 9 starting Jan. 3; as of Feb. 7,... read more
A Winter of TV Discontent? | Roush Dispatch | 12/4/2007
Just a thought: If the strike lasts much longer, do you think CBS' Big Brother house has room for all of us? I joke, of course, but I also fear that if things don't get resolved soon, it's going to be a long, cold winter indeed for fans of good old everyday regular non-reality TV.In the last few days, we’ve seen cliff-hanger episodes of Desperate Housewives and Heroes that felt like season finales, and for all we know, that’s what they might be, if production doesn’t resume early... read more
ER Admits Lipstick Jungle into Its Time Slot | Today's News: Our Take | 11/29/2007
When NBC runs out of new episodes of ER on Feb. 7, it will fill the medical drama's time slot with Sex and the City retread Lipstick Jungle. But on a hopefully positive note, striking writers and producers agreed to a fourth day of contract talks today, which hadn't even been scheduled. Come on, guys, get 'er done! — Ben Katner read more
Sopranos' Bracco Welcomed to the Jungle | Today's News: Our Take | 11/19/2007
Being a mobster's shrink seems to have been quite the panacea for Lorraine Bracco, who memorably played Tony Soprano's put-upon psychotherapist on the HBO hit. Not only has she just finished shooting a Lifetime pilot called Long Island Confidential (in which she plays the mom of a homicide detective), but TV Guide is told she'll show up in a recurring role in Lipstick Jungle, NBC midseason series based on Candace Bushnell's follow-up to Sex and the City. Bracco will portray the duplicitous... read more
Brooke Shields' New Hubby, Swayze's Beastly Role | Today's News: Our Take | 10/15/2007
Paul Blackthorne (The Dresden Files) has replaced Chris Wiehl (Love Monkey) as Brooke Shields' husband on the NBC midseason drama Lipstick Jungle.... Also per the Reporter, Patrick Swayze has been tapped to topline The Beast, A&E Network's drama pilot about a veteran FBI agent who trains a new partner (Travis Fimmel) in his psychologically clever style while being pursued by an Internal Affairs team and being subjected to Dr. Houseman's rhetoric. read more
ABC at TCA: Lost in Translation | Roush Dispatch | 7/25/2007
Get lost, ABC. That was the hostile undercurrent behind much of the questioning for ABC's entertainment president Stephen McPherson Wednesday morning. We critics can be a surly group, especially this late in the TCA press tour. (ABC has the bad luck to be up to bat on the final two days of the three-week hype-a-thon.) But give us something legitimate to gripe about — in this case, the decision by Lost's producers to skip the TCA and instead address the game-changing events behind Lost's... read more
NBC's Lipstick Jungle Kisses Show-runners Goodbye | Today's News: Our Take | 7/19/2007
Eileen Heisler and DeAnn Heline have been let go as the executive producers and show-runners of Lipstick Jungle, NBC's mid-season entry adapted from Candace Bushnell's best-seller. According to the Reporter, the dramedy — starring Brooke Shields, Lindsay Price and Kim Raver — is being taken in a new creative direction, and as the hunt for a new show-runner launches, the production start has been pushed back to November.
