Last night, Lena Dunham took to the stage over at 30 Rock as the host of Saturday Night Live on International Women's Day, and she did not hold back. The episode had some standard Dunham nudity, enough of her saying "I just feel like" to last a lifetime of therapy, and even a planned parenthood shoutout! In her opening… » 3/09/14 12:00pm 3/09/14 12:00pm

Astronaut, computer engineer, Hawaiian haver of "fun" —Barbie's held more jobs for which she's clearly unqualified than Ryan Seacrest. But all of her career costumes were supposed to be a means to an end, a way for girls to play with a doll who would encourage them to pursue their big dreams. Turns out, career-having… » 3/05/14 3:00pm 3/05/14 3:00pm

Before Girls was an award-winning mega hit for HBO, Lena Dunham was an aspiring actress and filmmaker, coming off the success of Tiny Furniture, a film festival darling. In a recent interview with Bill Simmons, Dunham shared a rather embarrassing anecdote about one ill-fated job she had with the cable giant, before she … » 2/20/14 8:30pm 2/20/14 8:30pm

Last night's Girls took Hannah, Marnie, Jessa and Shoshanna to a beach town on the North Fork of Long Island where they got drunk, fought and — most memorably — learned and performed a delightfully ridiculous dance routine. If you're a fan of what you saw and want to replicate it on your own nightmarish weekend away,… » 2/17/14 4:45pm 2/17/14 4:45pm

For the women of Girls, it’s a rocky road to redemption; conquering their collective quarter life crisis is the least of their worries. I mean, what if these girls have serious issues? The story lines have been so tumultuous lately — from Hannah's amazing inability to grieve to Marnie's incredible uselessness — that… » 2/05/14 12:50pm 2/05/14 12:50pm

If you're itching to hear some new Miguel (and let's face it, who isn't!) then this is your best solution. Off the newest soundtrack to the HBO show Girls, entitled Volume 2: All Adventurous Women Do ..., Miguel's song, "Simplethings" is pretty damn good. » 2/04/14 10:00am 2/04/14 10:00am

When Hannah's editor died, all of his projects—including Hannah's e-book—died with him. Now she's forced to find a new home for her memoir, otherwise no one will get the chance to read "everything that's ever happened" to the 25-year-old. » 2/03/14 3:15pm 2/03/14 3:15pm

Ever concerned with the threat the female form poses to the morality of children, the BBC has issued new wardrobe guidelines for female hosts of kids' programming on the network.

Rashida Jones and Zosia Mamet are joining Glamour as monthly contributors. While I'm excited — I like Jones and Mamet is fine on Girls — Jones' column will be about relationships. Editor-in-Chief Cindi Leive said in a statement that Rashida will be offering a "one-of-a-kind—a smart graphic-novel-style treatment of the… » 1/13/14 5:55pm 1/13/14 5:55pm
