Girls star Jemima Kirke posed topless for Vice magazine while eight months pregnant, and her interview and photo spread proved much more revealing than those of the more typical celebrity mom-to-be. Ever since Demi Moore posed for Vanity Fair, the pregnant pose has become stylish, but Kirke’s images are racier and much more in tune with her Bohemian character, Jessa. READ FULL STORY »

Neil Patrick Harris and the rest of the killer gang of presidential assassins will reunite for one night only to reprise their roles from the 2004 Tony Award-winning production of Assassins. The Dec. 3 performance will benefit Roundabout Theatre Company’s musical program.
Stephen Sondheim’s characteristically dark, witty musical — which first played Broadway from 1990-91 — explores the personal lives and motivations of the people who have attempted (both successfully and unsuccessfully) to kill American presidents. Harris plays Lee Harvey Oswald in the play, while Michael Cerveris will revive his role as John Wilkes Booth (for which he won a Tony for Best Featured Actor in a Musical), and Denis O’Hare will reprise his Tony-nominated role as Charles Guiteau, who murdered POTUS 20 James A. Garfield. READ FULL STORY »
I’ve found my new favorite show to hate-watch (well, I love it but you will definitely maybe hate it): Gallery Girls on Bravo. This grotesque reality TV canvas is like a post-surrealist hybrid of The Hills and Girls — priced at $0 for all you art collectors! — that should probably just be called Bitches. It stars six young snots and one hardworking woman from Long Island who live and “work” in NYC and Brooklyn, which the show treats like a separate country.

“Oh my gosh, did you know women can be funny too?” has been the ongoing epiphany of the past year, thanks to the stars and writers of Bridesmaids, New Girl and HBO’s Girls. But lately comedian Adam Carolla has seemed determined to stir the pot on the subject a bit more, declaring women less funny than men. Either that or he’s searching for easy publicity for his new book, No Taco Bell Material.
It started with a New York Post story published on Saturday, in which the former Man Show host was asked if he hates working with women. He responded, “No. But they make you hire a certain number of chicks, and they’re always the least funny on the writing staff. The reason why you know more funny dudes than funny chicks is that dudes are funnier than chicks.” READ FULL STORY »
Now that college has so kindly kicked you to the curb with nothing more than a piece of paper and a host of embarrassing photo tags — and since the first season of Girls ended on Sunday — you may be wondering what’s next. You’re in luck — the Internet has a few suggestions. Whether you’re freshly matriculated or just waxing nostalgic about those self-obsessed university days, these web series are a great summer binge — perfect to watch until you get a job or Girls starts up again. Whichever comes first.
Your Dad’s Friends
Richard Kind (Spin City) and Vincent Pastore (The Sopranos) lend their star power to writer Aaron Eisenberg’s biting comedy about the difficulty of parent-driven networking. At his father’s insistence, aspiring Hollywoodite Ben Hurwitz takes meetings with his dad’s industry friends, who turn out to be all sorts of awful…considering that said “well-connected” dad is a dentist.
