Happy Birthday, Leslie Grossman!

I need to thank PopWatch posters Dala and Liz for reminding me how much I loved Leslie Grossman (over-the-top Southern belle Mary Cherry) on Popular. Liz is right: A clip of Mary Cherry auditioning for Teen Tartz must be shared.

If you haven’t experienced Popular, cocreated by Nip/Tuck’s Ryan Murphy, it’s time. Especially if you’re a fan of Christopher Gorham (Ugly Betty’s Henry).

    My husband and I discovered Popular on Canadian television on our honeymoon, of all places!! They play reruns on the Canadian equivalent of ABC Family up there. We would seriously make sure we were back at our hotel by 10pm so we could catch the next episode!
