Orange Is the New Black, the prison dramedy based on the memoir of Piper Kerman, is a very good show. When you consider its focus on women —particularly those who are trans or non-white or have been made voiceless by the punitive system — you might even call it groundbreaking. But in spite of all that, one male fan…
Lorraine Toussaint is one of season 2 of Orange Is the New Black's biggest scene stealers as Litchfield's latest villain Yvonne "Vee" Parker, but as it turns out, getting into the mind of a sociopath was only one of many challenges for Toussaint when it came to acting the part. Also among them: Getting naked on camera…
Oh my God, ohmigod, OMG. Oscar winner Mary Steenburgen is not only joining season 3 of Orange Is the New Black, she'll be taking on the role of George "Pornstache" Mendez's Mommy Dearest!

Before he was everyone's favorite bashful, differently-legged prison guard, Matt McGorry was just a regular old college kid—sipping Nantucket Nectars on the quad, tossing a disc around with the frolf bros, wearing a sweatshirt probably, and acting in no-budget student films like Gizor and Gorm. McGorry plays Gorm.

Amidst the crazy rumors of her budding romance with Tom Cruise, which I guess are not true, Laura Prepon has decided that she is going to rejoin the cast full time for the third season of Orange is the New Black, that is, if there is a third season.

This weekend at PaleyFest, the cast of Orange is the New Black got together to talk shop. More importantly, they played a few rounds of Marry, Date, Incarcerate (like Marry, Date, Kill) with characters from their own show and it's pretty entertaining.
