As Frank Ocean so eloquently crooned, we all try and that is what Lifetime is doing with their latest casting in the forthcoming Whitney Houston made-for-TV biopic. Last week, Yaya DaCosta was announced as the lead actress who will play Houston herself. » 7/15/14 2:15pm 7/15/14 2:15pm

Lifetime has wasted no time Lifetiming up the recently confirmed Aaliyah biopic. » 6/23/14 5:40pm 6/23/14 5:40pm

If you're not an avid watcher of the Disney Channel, the news that a living human named Zendaya will be playing beloved and deceased R&B songstress Aaliyah could prompt an outburst more/less polite than "Hmmmmm?!" » 6/16/14 6:45pm 6/16/14 6:45pm

Cable network Lifetime has ordered a new reality series that will chronicle women giving birth in nature. » 6/05/14 11:00am 6/05/14 11:00am

After getting off to a bumpy start, True Tori never managed to fully convince people of its authenticity. So perhaps it's fitting that last night's "reunion" episode rang just as false as the rest of the season, with a little bit of staged drama, fake viewer-submitted questions from nonexistent Twitter accounts and… » 6/04/14 2:20pm 6/04/14 2:20pm

The life and times of Whitney Houston will be forever immortalized in a Lifetime film, directed by Oscar-nominee Angela Bassett. » 5/22/14 10:30pm 5/22/14 10:30pm

After the huge ratings success of Lifetime's adaptation of V.C. Andrews' Flowers in the Attic (its most-watched original movies in years), the network quickly ordered up an adaptation of the gothic novel's sequel Petals on the Wind. » 5/19/14 12:50pm 5/19/14 12:50pm

It is a truth often told that "Flowers in the Attic" is the most important book ever written for women, at least for women currently in their 30s and 40s. 56-year-old V.C. Andrews gave us so much in this campy, insane tome. And somehow, a creepy book about being locked in an attic and making sex with your brother has… » 1/21/14 3:20pm 1/21/14 3:20pm

Lifetime has been marketing Dance Moms so perfectly, giving a little wink to appreciators of camp, who probably make up at least half of the show's audience. In the promo trailer for the new season, Abby and the girls recreate the iconic video for A-ha's "Take On Me." » 12/31/13 12:40pm 12/31/13 12:40pm

Here's the first teaser for Lifetime's Lizzie Borden Took an Ax, starring your favorite actress (correction: your favorite actress who starred in Casper), Christina Ricci. The trailer, which is mostly a lot of fast cuts, axe thudding sounds and shots of Ricci's beautiful, giant doll eyes as they widen in horror,… » 12/16/13 2:00pm 12/16/13 2:00pm

Between Witches of East End and the Donatella Versace and Anna Nicole Smith biopics, Lifetime is THE television channel for fun, campy programming about fascinating/batshit women. Now the network is continuing that streak by releasing the poster for their movie about Massachusetts' best cultural export, Lizzie Borden.… » 11/18/13 3:10pm 11/18/13 3:10pm

This weekend, we were all invited to witness the most high-fashion and glamorous event of a generation when Lifetime (Television for Women) aired its most recent opus/original movie House of Versace, starring Gina Gershon. House of Versace had everything — wigs, questionable accents, smashed wine glasses, tacky… » 10/07/13 1:50pm 10/07/13 1:50pm

Lifetime's House of Versace aired last night, and it was excellent to see Gina Gershon in her old thematic stomping ground of playing a coked-up lady boss set on making everyone's lives miserable. Though critically savaged, I'd wager that Gershon's alternately groggy and raving portrayal of Donatella Versace… » 10/06/13 1:56pm 10/06/13 1:56pm

Since I declared the House Of Versace teaser trailer TOO SHORT, the folks at Lifetime sent us a longer version. I am not exaggerating when I say that Gina Gershon as Donatella is EVERYTHING. Here's what we see: » 10/01/13 6:15pm 10/01/13 6:15pm

Lifetime movies are hit and miss — Liz and Dick was not even campy enough to be a trainwreck — but we're pretty damn excited for Gina Gershon in House of Versace. "If you're going to put me on a leash, it better be diamond-studded or you can kiss my —." Word. What she said. » 9/24/13 3:30pm 9/24/13 3:30pm

Holy crap, Gina Gershon playing Donatella Versace in a Lifetime movie is genius casting. And she looks amazing. » 9/05/13 12:30pm 9/05/13 12:30pm

Last night, Lifetime aired the quickie cash-in TV-movie version of Jodi Arias' saga that resulted in the murder of her on-again-off-again boyfriend, Travis Alexander. Perfectly overacted, Jodi Arias: Dirty Little Secret featured Nomi Malone-sized breakdowns, a blowjob-to-Mormon-baptism transition, the line "I feel… » 6/23/13 12:00pm 6/23/13 12:00pm
