The L Word

By Trish Bendix The Hollywood Reporter says that Sidibe is negotiating with the network to play a student of Laura Linney's character, Cathy, who is dealing with a diagnosis of cancer while maintaining a positive outlook on life. The show is called The C Word, and sounds nothing like The L Word, other than...

By dorothy snarker If a picture is worth a thousand words, then how much is a picture by Jennifer Beals worth? Is thousand words plus a sippy cup? The actress released a preview of her new photography book as one of the extras in The L Word Season 6 DVD set.

By noreply@blogger.com (Dorothy Snarker) The thing about Katherine Moennig is regardless her role or regardless her orientation, we’re always going to feel a little possessive. We can’t help it. She is and will always be The Artist Formerly Known as Shane. Not that she can’t grow past Shane. Not that she has to tell us she is gay. She just...

By dorothy snarker Hey, lesbians, wanna be on TV? Actually, do you wanna get real on TV? Well, more accurately, wanna get as real as you can get in Los Angeles in a production by The L Word impresario Ilene Chaiken on TV? See, there’s always a catch. Or, as they put it “proof the The L Word exists in real life.”

By stuntdouble Jennifer Beals will be returning to Fox's truth-telling drama, Lie to Me, on the second episode of the season, "Truth or Consequences," on Oct. 5. (Note: the episode was originally scheduled as the third of the season, but it has been bumped up.)

By Andrew Belonsky First gay housewives, now lesbian housewives? We've seen everything. Or, we will, because Showtime picked up nine episodes of a new Sapphic reality show. Yay! It's title? Not so new: The L-Word: Los Angeles. So, yes, Showtime and Ilene Chaiken, creator of the lesbian soap The L Word, have ag...

By dorothy snarker OK, before we can proceed we must discuss this image. First, I’m not sure Shane would approve of this haircut. Also, is it just me or did the marketing department find a “Femme-Up” tool in Photoshop and just go crazy? Though, I am happy to see Kate’s patented pout is still alive and well.

By Trish Bendix Several lesbian bloggers were in attendance so I'd like to give them a little plug right here, before I give you the goods on what keynote speaker, Ilene Chaiken, had to say about new media and the future of The L Word (yes, it apparently has one). Check out Recovering Straight Girl, Deb on the...

By stuntdouble Wait, is it — yes, of course: it's the pile of naked women. Helena, Tasha, Alice, Bette, Tina, Kit, Jenny and Shane, meet Cassidy, Jessica, Claire, Ellie, Chugs and Megan.

By jamie murnane Shane, the take-no-prisoners gal who's slept with just about everyone in town. Shane is gritty and dark, and looks pretty much the way non-lesbians would expect a lesbian to look. Shane is a lesbian and proud of it, and if you don't like it, well, she just doesn't care.

By dorothy snarker Would you pay $30 to hear Ilene Chaiken talk? No? How about if I told you she was bringing Jennifer Beals along with her? Still no? Wow, tough crowd. What if I told you there'd be ice cream? Fine, so there won't be ice cream but I had to offer something.

By Lydia Martin Well, you’ve gotta give it to the L Word. It truly is a lesbian show. And not because in the finale we got a steamy and tender TiBette sex scene that to every L word insider felt like a nod to an episode in Season One when Bette emerged from under a different sheet and wiped her mouth just like she did...

By noreply@blogger.com (didie211) Twenty-five years after her doe-eyed debut in Flashdance made her the pinup fantasy of men across America, 44-year-old Jennifer Beals is still making hearts skip a beat—only now it’s in the role of power lesbian Bette Porter in the sixth and final season of Showtime’s The L Word.

By noreply@blogger.com (didie211) At the outset of Season One, Bette Porter seems to posses the most even-keeled presence in the cast, even though it’s perpetually career-absorbed. She’s in a committed, seven-year relationship with girlfriend Tina Kennard (Laurel Holloman), a driven Hollywood professional with a hi...

By Trish Bendix Yes, that's her on the left. Sea is part of a new band called The Thorns of Life that began playing live house shows over the last week in Brooklyn. The band is already being buzzed about, because not only does it feature a popular lesbian actress, but also Blake Schwarzenbach of the legendary i...

LA has a spiritual life, author AM Homes tells ERICA ROBERTS - and it's to be found in her new novel, rather than in The L Word. 'You're just making pretty girls talk,' says 44-year-old bisexual writer AM Homes, laughing away her achievements as The L Word writer (Series 2) and producer (Seri...

She walks a neat tightrope between trans boi Max and stone butch Moira. But is The L Word's Daniela Sea selling out to big-time fame or keeping it real? JOANNA WALTERS finds out The scene was quite something: a large synagogue on New York's Lower East Side converted into an arts centre, and a p...

By karman Bette and Candace check into a motel (and probably should never check out), then Tina figures it all out and goes nuts. A heartbroken Shane gets the big boot from Cheri, and Alice makes a midnight confession to Dana. Meanwhile, Jenny watches Gene and Robin sleep. Will they still be sleeping wh...

By Dorothy Snarker Alice and Tasha: Well, that went from cutest thing ever to totally doomed in 3.2 seconds flat. I kind of loathe the idea of a “we’re working though our problems” storyline. That said, I definitely want to see Tasha again so they’d better work something out. Regardless, I want my adorable Alice b...

By Paula I don’t know if it is just me but I find the emotion heating up more and more as the season progresses. More passion (in the bedroom and elsewhere) and more twists that just leave me with the knowing that it just ain’t going to be pretty if/when Bette finally comes clean with Jodi. Jodi is a powerf...

By Seth The sketch was clearly a direct response to the recent lezzie or lezn't she? buzzings around the Juno star. But was it an actual self-outing? A brash courting of The L-Word casting people? A platonic love letter to a fiercely loyal lesbian power publicist? We know when we're being toyed wit...

By karman But the main event truly was the oil wrestling scene at SheBar. Dawn Denbo, her beautiful lover Cindi, Jenny, Niki, Shane — hell, even Molly — joined the fracas and before the night was over, two hotties were being hauled away to the pokey. Not even Dusty can help them now.

By Nicholas Fonseca You just never know. What do you think? Is Tasha in a lose-lose situation? Have Jenny and Nikki mortally wounded the Les Girls shoot? And was Molly's description of Shane as "The Fonz" of the group the best handle ever, or what?

By karman We hope you enjoy our reenactments of Adele's Pretty Woman–esque transformation into Mini-Jenny. But be forewarned; we did not reenact the Tina-Bette reunion. That would just be gross.
