Our favorite juicy melodrama, Revenge, landed the new cover of Entertainment Weekly, and the cover story features lots of spoiler-y goodness: Are certain baddies returning? Yep. Is a certain love triangle getting steamier? Yep. But even more interesting is The Hollywood Reporter's interview with writer and executive producer Mike Kelley, who reveals that fans had an influence on the trajectory of the show. More »

It took a while for me to get there, but now I am fully absorbed in the frothy, sexy, taut and ridiculous melodrama that is ABC's Revenge. More »

Every single television critic has written their "10 Best of 2011" article and it's all, "Oooh, Breaking Bad." "Let's hear it for Community." "Friday Night Lights should never leave!" "Do you love Louie? I love Louie. You should love LOUIE!" Fuck them! All their damn lists are the same year after year. Here are some of the other things that happened on television when the critics were playing Ookie Cookie with each other. More »

Last night during the much anticipated Packers-Bears football game, NBC flashed a shot of a lady Packer fan holding up a sign that read "My cheating ex-boyfriend is watching from couch instead." The unusual sign made an instant impression on the audience. I happened to be watching the game in Wisconsin, and, as I rushed to take the above snapshot of this genius, everyone in the room was giving her major props for cleverness. By this morning, her bold move was all over the news! High-five for a game well-played. Deadspin has identified the girl as Annie Wagner. So far the cheating cheesehead's name hasn't been revealed. He should be very glad she showed some restraint and didn't put his name on the sign, since he'd probably never be allowed back into Lambeau Field for as long as he lived! More »

Women often face difficult consequences for pressing rape charges, but it's safe to say no one has ever experienced anything like Seemoa Sumasar did — except on cop shows. In retaliation for Sumasar accusing her ex-boyfriend Jerry Ramrattan of rape, he staged an elaborate plot that left her in jail for seven months. More »

"It's not about being vindictive," says 26-year-old Taylor. "Maybe initially I was getting back at him, but now I don't feel that way. It's fun. I find this all to be very therapeutic, very liberating." She says the nudity's a response to his controlling insistence on her modesty. So far she's grossed $1,000. More »

First M.I.A. tweeted her interviewer's number, then a disgruntled subject put a blogger's contact info on Craigslist Casual Encounters. Is "crowdsourcing revenge" the new way of lashing back at unfavorable coverage? More »

Harvard's racist email scandal — starring Stephanie Grace — appears to be eerily reminiscent of Phoebe Prince's tragic bullying in one way: Both started with a fight over a guy. More »

When Madoff's mistress "penned" that tell-all about their lackluster early-90s affair, we sorta wondered what her husband thought about it. Well, as the bard would have it, wonder on til truth (or the Daily Beast) makes all things plain! More »

On the heels of Tracie's collection of castration scenes comes this Onion A.V. Club post on 22 films about vengeful women. There's some overlap between the castration movies and the lady revenge flicks (I Spit On Your Grave), but the A.V. Club's list also includes many modern classics like Kill Bill and Carrie. Their number one female vindication flick of all time? Fatal Attraction. "In an era of rapidly increasing sexual freedom (and rapidly lowering social stigma for women who chose not to remain blushing virgins until the wedding day)," the A.V. Club notes, "Fatal Attraction sounded a shrill warning bell: That casual affair may cost you your family, social position, peace of mind, and pet bunny." [AV Club] More »

The Telegraph has unearthed a new "trend" on YouTube in which young women post videos of themselves begging for sex to get revenge on their cheating boyfriends. Sadly, two of the videos that are evidence of this "trend" are obvious fakes. One video (link NSFW) shows a blonde woman robotically reading from a script and then directing potential suitors to call her at a pay-per-minute phone number, which sounds more like a porn scam than a search for boyfriend revenge. Another video shows a brunette actress named Stacy Cunningham who seems to be performing a screen test, not a search for sex. Welcome to the internet, Telegraph; we should also let you know that your Nigerian Prince isn't going to transfer that 18 million GBP into your bank account any time soon. [Telegraph] More »

Even if you don't speak Spanish, you'll understand the glare in the eyes of the women on controversial soap opera Mujeres Asesinas. The series — a hit in Argentina, Colombia and Mexico — features a different story each week. Long-suffering, mild-mannered women are wronged by a man (husband, lover, father, john) and are transformed into "hellions" with nicknames like Patricia "Avenger," Martha "Suffocator" and Margarita "Poisonous." Cue the vengeance! While viewers are gleefully cheering these women on, the press (of course) has a bit of a problem with the show. Writes Reed Johnson for the L.A. Times, "Mujeres Asesinas has stirred talk in the Latin American media about whether it might incite women to commit more acts of revenge-fueled violence. Advertisements for the show have played up that titillating idea with tag lines such as, 'Cuidado! No permitas que tu mujer vea esta nueva serie.' (Take care! Don't let your woman see this new series.)" Oh yes, the poor, poor hombres. More »

• Yay, heart-warming story! The International Breast Milk Project ships breast milk, or liquid gold, to Africa, where nine-thousand bottles is enough to feed six babies for a year. Being that lil' Suri Cruise was weaned on a Hubbard-approved cocktail of barley water and corn syrup, we sure hope Katie didn't let her milk dry up and go to waste. [ABC News]
