TNT has ordered a pilot of a late-night talk show hosted by Niecy Nash, the star of the network’s crime drama/dark comedy Claws. According to Deadline, Naked with Niecy Nash will be “decidedly unique” and feature Nash dishing out advice on sex, love, and relationships. Sue Murphy, who executive produced Chelsea…
On the latest episode of Chelsea, Chelsea Handler invited Niecy Nash, Jill Soloway, and Kate Beckinsale to come on and talk about diversity in Hollywood and as usual, Nash was the most compelling person in the room.
Claws is the perfect summer show, establishing itself in three brief episodes as yet another entry in the cultural genre that is “Weird Florida”—somewhere on the same spectrum of Spring Breakers, with a dash of the standard “Florida Man Does Something Bizarre” story that surfaces in the news every now and then. It’s a…
The trailer for the TNT series Claws—a murder drama about manicurists that’s executive-produced by Rashida Jones—contains lots of bright colors, gaudy outfits, nail art, a gold-plated gun and an alligator (it’s Florida), and somewhere in all this, there’s a murder.
Niecy Nash, the actress and host who shot to fame thanks to gigs on Reno 911! and Clean House, has been one of the most charming people on the small screen for over a decade. But in addition to being a delight on-camera (she gives one of the best, most delicate performances on TV in HBO’s Getting On), Nash is equally…
HBO’s Getting On, one of the most rewarding shows on television, has been expertly teeter-tottering between gentle drama and gut-busting comedy for the almost three seasons now. In last week’s “Don’t Let It Get in You or on You,” I teared up when Dr. James discovered her patient was a Holocaust survivor and laughed…
I’ve been dying to see Scream Queens since it was announced: Ryan Murphy-created horror-comedy about sorority murders starring Emma Roberts? Sign me up! A longer trailer just dropped, though, and after some hokey Diablo Cody-style slang invention (“Pissy Spacek”? eesh), a stereotypical flashback-to-the-’80s device,…
The potential of Ryan Murphy's upcoming horror-comedy series Scream Queens has just sky-rocketed with the addition of incredibly funny Niecy Nash. She joins Jamie Lee Curtis, Emma Roberts, Keke Palmer, Ariana Grande, Nick Jonas, Lea Michele, Joe Manganiello and—you know what? It might be easier to name who's not in…
Niecy Nash, star of Reno 911 and Clean House has released a shiny nugget of wisdom unto the world: If you want to keep a marriage going, you're going to provide oral sex every day. Otherwise, the entire thing will collapse into an expensive heap of anger and resentment.
It's called Getting On, and it's about women's geriatric wing of a hospital. It follows the nurses, doctors and administrators who care for the elderly, and again, features some of our favorite actors. It has major potential.
As you already know if you are a sophisticated modern fancy-lad, Esquire (a.k.a. Condescending Neckties: The Magazine) has a television network now! Finally—a TV channel that MEN can enjoy. Looking to court "metrosexuals" turned off by "downmarket" male networks such as Spike and History (because history is male,…
Twitter is deluged with celebrities (and civilians) chiming in on the gun control "debate" following today's horrific school shooting. The one I saw retweeted the most ubiquitously was this, from Dax Shepard: "I love guns. I have several, but I would gladly get rid of them if it would help prevent anything like this…
Kate Middleton giggled uncontrollably as she and Prince William visited the Solomon Islands and were presented with garlands by topless women from the village of Marau, likely because being presented with boobs are kind of on-the-nose for her right now. The islands were the latest stop on the royals' Diamond Jubilee…
In this week's television roundup, Nene makes her first appearance on Glee, 30 Rock references Tracy Morgan's homophobia and Daniel Radcliffe revisits his role as Harry Potter.
Today in Tweet Beat, Chris Brown's mom is doing his PR. Plus, the Reno 911 crowd was unsurprisingly disruptive at Niecy Nash's wedding.
And we do mean literally! This was a red carpet blinding in its sparkle!
This Bulgari event in Beverly Hills benefited several very worthy causes, which is great. And Gerard Butler was there, which was also great.
Confession: I love Clean House. As a recovering pack rat, seeing people part with their clutter — and end up enjoying it — is an oddly soothing type of entertainment.
The ESPN ESPY awards, honoring athletes across sports, make for one of our favorite red carpets of the year. And this one, at Nokia Theatre L.A., was no exception. But...why was Zac Efron there?
Today in Tweet Beat, Ice-T is not in a good mood today, Debbie Gibson and Tiffany (and a gun?) are hanging out together, and with Jon Gosselin, it's the same shit, different girlfriend.
