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… Read… 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 (complete … Read on Gawker 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: Read… 10/01/13 6:15pm 10/01/13 6:15pm

Certain dead people have the dubious honor of being resuscitated over and over again for entertainment purposes: Marilyn Monroe, Jesus, Lincoln. And Cleopatra, the last pharaoh of Ancient Egypt.

Do your boobs ever get sad about the way they're represented in the media? About how they're either overly sexualized or completely ignored all of the time?

"What's Wrong With Tanya?" is a game show created by SNL. But if it were real, I would absolutely be watching with a bowl of popcorn on a nightly basis.

Occasionally, a Lifetime movie comes along that seems almost like a real movie. The inspiration for this week's slideshow, The Watch, is one such film, a horror flick that sets itself up with all the classic horror tropes: a villain whose face you barely see, slow pacing, music that gets loud when a terrifying figure… Discuss… 8/05/11 4:05pm 8/05/11 4:05pm
