The few and the proud who showed up to accept the award on behalf of the entire L Word cast looked as gorgeous as ever. Jennifer Beals stunned in her springy yellow dress, while Ilene Chakin belted her stunning grey number.

Actresses Leisha Hailey and Kate Moennig snuck past red carpet cameras but showed off their basic black numbers on stage with Chakin and Beals, accepting the award on behalf of the entire L Word cast.

Jane Lynch stepped up her basic black suit, stunning as always!

Tons more pictures follow after the jump from the red carpet, the after party, and more! Look for a few QAF faces to make their appearances as well!

Hey there Showtime Fans! I had a special treat in my in-box today - a sneak peek at the poster for the new season of Weeds!

This season Nancy will get herself in deeper with her drug lord boyfriend, ship her younger son and brother-in-law off to her sister - who might just decide to make a reappearance, and at the same time she’ll also deal with the unexpected surprise of her third child!

The new season will air on June 8th, with the premiere of Nurse Jackie following right after. So be sure to get ready to set your DVR - no one wants to miss this great new season!

(side note - sorry I’ve been so absent the last few - I got married at the end of last month, and it’s taken much longer than I thought to drag myself out of the present piles and unpacking!)

Sad news for all L Word fans - Showtime has declined to pick up The Farm, Ilene Cakin’s spinoff of The L Word. The network also declined to pick up The End Of Steve, a pilot created by Matthew Perry.

With a full schedule already on the docket for the next few years, Showtime didn’t have a lot of room for new shows to begin with, and there are still a few contenders to be discussed, including a project from Tim Robbins, but for now these two have ended up on the cutting room floor.

Sony TV, which produced Perry’s project, has already started shopping it around to other networks, but it seems Chakin is going to let her show die a quiet death. Which means we’ll never know how Alice feels about being accused of killing Jenny.

And to celebrate, I’ve got three videos for you to kick back and enjoy.

first? behind the scenes.

Next the episode one teaser.

In episode 301, the third season premiere, Henry VIII weds a third time, to shy, demure noblewoman Jane Seymour - a union that he and his advisors pray will result in a male heir; once-loyal subjects rebel against Henry’s crusade against Catholicism.

And finally, the episode two teaser!

The first episode airs tonight at 9pm EST, and is set to be a super good episode. Which you can watch in advance here!

Just five minutes away from my super conservative state, Iowa did something we liberal midwesterners thought could never happen.

They repealed a law limiting marriage to man/woman partnerships only. effectively legalizing gay marriage.

And how did they do it? They stated that to limit it was violating people’s constitutional right to “pursuit of happiness”.

In a nation where even hippies and Hollywood starlets can’t keep marriage for everyone, I was completely convinced Iowa wouldn’t be able to pull it off? For real, we make fun of our neighbors to the east, saving the best of our barbs for the city directly to the east of us (Council Bluffs, i love you so!). Now, however? I kind of want to pack up and move ten minutes away to a state that regularly shows up blue on the map, and recognizes all people are in fact created equal.

GO IOWA!!!

(yes, I realize this has nothing to do with Showtime. But it’s a huge, monumental thing for the GLBT community, which this blog loves and supports.)

Pictures have been floating around of Jonathan and a few lovely ladies attending the Tudors Season 3 Launch Party, but this was apparently not the big premiere, as none of the other stars chose to attend. No producers, none of his television wives, not  a single other actor from the show.

What?

At least it’s good to see Meyers out and about after yet another stint in rehab. Hopefully if one of these ladies is his new love, she’ll help keep him on the straight and narrow for some time, so we can all enjoy him in more movies.

Below you’ll find a gallery of all the pictures I could find of Meyers at the Launch. There’s a metric ton of them, so enjoy!

(side note - I know I’ve been all sorts of absent recently. I got married last weekend, and also started a new day job! It’s been super challenging to get back into the swing of posting, but by Monday I’ll be totally on board. Hopefully! And thanks for your patience!)

Looks like Jeffrey Dean Morgan has a lot more on his plate! From playing The Comedian in The Watchmen to starring as dead men in several shows (ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy and of course on Weeds), now Jeffrey Dean Morgan finds out he’s a dad!

Ex-girlfriend Sherrie Rose, a producer and actor, has recently announced her four year old son is Jeffery’s. Morgan only learned of the child’s existence a few weeks ago, but has already met him, beginning to build a relationship.

Us Magazine reported the discovery, and has a source quoted as saying Morgan is “shocked and surprised, but he wants to be in the child’s life.”

After several years of dating costar Mary Louise Parker and wanting to have children, it’s so great that he finally gets to truly be a dad! Congrats Jeffrey!

Show synopsis: NURSE JACKIE is a half-hour dark comedy that is at turns wicked, heartbreaking and funny. Edie Falco stars as the title character Jackie Peyton, a strong-willed and brilliant — but very flawed — emergency room nurse in a complicated New York City hospital. A lapsed Catholic with an occasional weakness for Vicodin and Adderall to get her through the days, Jackie keeps the hospital balanced with her own kind of justice. Every day is a high wire act of juggling patients, doctors, fellow nurses and her own indiscretions. The series also stars Eve Best, Peter Facinelli, Merritt Wever, Haaz Sleiman and Paul Schulze.

Weeds comes back to us on June 8, and the spoilers are already hitting the internet. The biggest one to drop so far? We may not know the identity of Nancy’s baby’s daddy after all!

The third season left us assuming the drug king Esteban was the father, but now there’s rumors it could end up being Andy, Nancy’s dead husband’s brother.

When Justin Kirk was asked if he thought the baby was his, he said, “I don’t think it is my baby. I asked about that. I’d like to think my semen was so powerful that even though we didn’t have sex, it somehow leapt across the house. I don’t really know how reproduction works, but something like that.”

While he doesn’t think he’s the father, he does hope there will be some time given to Andy’s unrequited love for Nancy.

We’ll all have to wait until June to know for sure, however!

Billie Piper has graced several news blogs in the past week or so, and so rather than bombard you with a day full of all Billie Piper posts, I’m combining the news into this one longer post.

First and foremost, it looks like Lionsgate Entertainment has assigned a release date of June 30 to the second season of Secret Diary Of A Call Girl! This means you won’t have long to wait at all for more Belle!

It also turns out Billie’s siblings are embarrassed of her. They don’t talk about her successes and when they have friends over to the house, they take down pictures of her. But Piper claims to understand. “They find it embarrassing and I get that… they don’t want my success to become the topic of conversation.”

Finally, it turns out Billie’s a bit out of practice with her high heels. She was spotted heading into a London restaurant (pictured above) wearing some sky-high stilettos, but by the time she left, she was barefoot and carrying the black shoes with pink soles! Sounds like a girl after my own heart!
