Alex Minsky — the Marine-turned-underwear model we sorta have a crush on — was pretty charming on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno last night, though clearly very nervous and fidgety (his mom was in the audience and he kept looking to her!). Leno asked him how he got sober and Minksy said, "I don't know. It wasn't my…
Whitney was cancelled by NBC Thursday. No one seems sad about this. I don't even know that I am sad about it per se, except that I watched Whitney. Every episode, weekly, for two years. There. I wrote that.
Last night at Trevor Live, Katy "I Kissed a Girl" Perry was honored as a Trevor Hero. As you may know, The Trevor Project is a national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youth. Hooray for that! And hooray for some of the…
Love You, Mean It will be a weekly half-hour show on E! (airing after The Soup) in which Cummings will chat about celebrities, relationships and pop culture. She'll be joined by guests, other comedians and a sidekick, Julian McCullough. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Whitney says: "This show gives me a chance to…
After being called racist over and over, the folks at 2 Broke Girls must have decided to try and turn things around. In last night's episode, Caroline hooked up with her web developer, a tall Asian guy who speaks English perfectly. Perhaps this was meant to make up for having a silly, offensive, short Asian guy with…

NBC has been heavily promoting Whitney Cummings' new sitcom, Whitney, and last night we got to see what all the hubbub was about. The show centers around Whitney and her boyfriend Alex. They've have been together three years, but Whitney is not interested in getting married because there's been so much divorce in…
If the ads promoting Whitney Cummings's eponymous new sitcom are in any way indicative of the quality of the show itself, it will be at best mildly irritating and at worst a parody inviting but dismaying indicator of a lack of creativity in television, a harbinger of a new Dark Age in scriptwriting. An indicator that…
A subway station I walked through last night was taken over by advertisements for NBC's fall lineup, dominated by images of women in contradictory roles. Bunnies in The Playboy Club (and, not far away, vintage flight attendants on ABC'sPan-Am.) Frazzled moms on Up All Night. Maria Bello looking badass on Prime Suspect…
Girls who like girls on TV, rejoice: "There's a major uptick this fall in sitcoms about young single women, and, even better, several of these shows were created by female writers," writes New York's Emily Nussbaum.
