The Dress Code Was Confusing At The Tribeca Ball

Sadie Stein — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 10:30:00 EDT

I'd always associated the word "ball" with, y'know, gowns. But what do I know? At the 2010 Tribeca Ball, held at the NY Academy of Art, Parker Posey and Jennifer Connolly and everybody else looked, instead, ready for rooftop cocktails. More »

Spring Breakdown Reflects A Break Down For Women In Comedies

Just over a year ago I wrote a post about the dearth of female-driven comedies, and mentioned that I was excited about Spring Breakdown, the Warner Brothers comedy starring Amy Poehler, Parker Posey, and Rachel Dratch. I remembered the movie the other day and went to IMDB to see when it was going to be released. Well the answer seems to be "never," at least not on the big screen. Spring Breakdown, about three geeky women who try to relive the crazy college days they never had, is going straight to DVD. Women & Hollywood blogger Melissa Silverstein and I try to figure out why Spring Breakdown is getting the short shrift, After the jump. More »

The Return of Jezebel James: Light On the Comedy, Heavy On the Barren Career-Woman

The Return of Jezebel James, a sitcom premiering tonight on Fox, has all the trappings of a quirky, must-see comedy: it's the "brainchild" of Gilmore Girls' creator Amy Sherman-Palladino! It stars wacky indie "It Girl" Parker Posey! It has some reference to Brooklyn! And yet, the critics all find the show flat. (We suspected as much.) The premise is a basic Odd Couple formula: Sarah (Posey) is a hard-working editor who wants a child but cannot conceive, so she enlists the uterus of her estranged, bohemian sister, Coco (Lauren Ambrose), and makes Coco move into her fabulous New York apartment. Comedy gold, right? Eh, maybe not. Some disappointed reviews, after the jump. More »

Potentially sad news: the National Enquirer is reporting that Patrick Swayze has an insidious form of cancer and has five weeks to live. If it's true, how awful. If it's not, WTF Enquirer. In possibly bad timing, Best Week Ever has The Top 20 Stupid Faces Made By Patrick Swayze in Ghost. But you know, laughter can be the best medicine! • Oooh, are Parker Posey and Keanu Reeves a new couple? He doesn't really seem like her type but they'd look pretty cute together. • Zach Braff and Shiri Appleby allegedly broke up because the notoriously caddish Braff isn't ready to settle down. We're betting she has at least a few Crap Emails From A Dude lying around as the result of this failed union. [Perez, BWE, Dlisted , Just Jared] More »

So there's this new Fox show called The Return Of Jezebel James, written and produced by Amy Sherman of Gilmore Girls fame. Sounds great, right? And guess what? The cast is a dream: Parker Posey, Lauren Ambrose, and, rumor has it, Dianne Wiest (playing their mom). But upon viewing two clips, we're not sure the network has a hit on its hands. The pitch: When a newly single, professional woman learns she's unable to conceive, she looks to her estranged younger sister to carry her baby for her. Jezebel James was the younger sister's imaginary friend; the older sister turned Jezebel's adventures into a book. Could that sway lil' sis to get knocked up for big sis? More »

The Stepfordization of Hollywood's Comely Comediennes

Recently I got my paws on the as-yet-unreleased Anna Faris stoner flick Smiley Face. When I heard that a woman was finally at the helm of a non-romantic comedy, I couldn't wait to see it: Half Baked but with a lady? Sign me up! It led to a discussion amongst my friends about the dearth of leading ladies in comedy these days. The last female-centric comedy we could come up with was the Christina Applegate/Cameron Diaz vehicle The Sweetest Thing, which came out in 2002. More »
