Mary-Louise Parker To Replace Demi Moore As Gloria Steinem In Lovelace
Following her hospitalization for “exhaustion,” Demi Moore has reportedly been replaced in the role of feminist leader Gloria Steinem in 70s porn biopic Lovelace by fellow ageless beauty Mary-Louise Parker. Was this a good casting choice? More »
Casting HBO’s TV Adaptation Of The Corrections
It’s official, the film adaptation of Jonathan Franzen‘s novel The Corrections will air as a series on HBO. Hooray – I love that book so much! Dianne Wiest and Chris Cooper are already cast as the matriarch and patriarch of a dysfunctional family, but who will play the other characters? Like annoyingly rebellious academic Chip? Or chef Denise, who’s exploring her sexuality? Here’s my dream cast — take notes, HBO. More »
Read A Letter Mary-Louise Parker Wrote To Her Weeds Character
Mary-Louise Parker‘s Weeds character Nancy Botwin is one of my all-time favorites from all of TV. She’s cool and whip-smart and she doesn’t give a damn about anything. Nancy’s lack of morality makes her super compelling, and it seems to be something Mary-Louise likes about her character as well. She wrote a letter directed at Nancy in Bullett.
Here’s an excerpt: More »
Weeds Season Finale Recap: ‘Ain’t A Boy On This Planet Don’t Need Something Green’
After an uneven but mostly entertaining seventh season, the finale to the latest Weeds cycle left something to be desired. Band Aid solutions, a lack of real tension, and a cliffhanger out of fucking nowhere all made for a finale that was somewhat less thrilling than the airport stand-off of season six. Then again, once you’ve had Nancy turn herself into the FBI to save herself and her family from being murdered by a Mexican drug boss/mayor, it’s hard to figure out where to go from there. More »
Weeds S7E12 Recap: “Oh My God, We’re Getting Mugged By Sarah Palin”
This week’s episode of Weeds continued the heartbreaking plotline of mother vs. son and ended with a misunderstanding of Shakespearean proportions. Luckily, there was a lot of comic relief as well, with Doug Wilson continuing to justify his existence via one of the most awkward seductions in television history. Let’s take a look. More »
Weeds S7E10 Recap: “But She Started It!”
Throughout this show’s entire absurd run, Nancy has depleted our empathy for her in a plethora of fun-to-watch ways. This is a woman who’s lied, abused her magic vagina powers, set things on fire, and gotten people killed, all while sipping lackadaisically on venti low-fat lattes. But despite it all, her abiding love for her sons remains her sole redeeming virtue, and we got to see that in action last night thanks to Shane and Silas’ respective slip-ups. More »
Weeds S7E9 Recap: “Thanks For Last Night”
This episode finally saw Nancy get out from under the fascist boots of both the law and Zoya, only to land back in the kind of hot water with which she’s familiar: hot water that is full of rival drug dealers. This episode was all about subverting our expectations. Smart Shane did something stupid, competent Silas did something incompetent, and Doug Wilson actually did something helpful! More »
‘Weeds’ S7E7 Recap: Nancy Makes A Deal…Not That Kind
Hello and welcome to this, the latest television show to be added to Crushable’s roster of recaps. I realize that we’re halfway through the second season already, but I’m hoping most of the people who watch this show are too high to notice. J/k, Weeds is a great, complex television program and I’m sure all of its fans are very smart. Let’s begin! (SPOILER ALERT) More »
Am I Right Ladies? The No-Nonsense Womyn of Cable
Who says we don’t have good female role models on cable television? Sure, there’s plenty of ladies slumming it on trashy reality shows, but there are also plenty of sexy, type-A ladies who know their way around a fierce button-up blouse. These womyn can shoot guns, catch bad guys, win court cases and save lives as good as any man – and they do it in pumps! If that isn’t female empowerment, I don’t know what is. Seriously, I don’t know anymore. It may be a man’s world, but the boys be droolin’ while the girls be rulin,’ amirightladies? More »
12 Celebrity Couples Who Broke Up Before the Baby Was Born
Brangelina‘s multiracial brood is so 2007. Now, it’s all about celebrities who break up – if they were even together – before the baby is born and figure out a way to co-parent. The future is upon us, and it’s trying to behave like an adult. More »
What Was ‘Weeds’ Star Demian Bichir Doing Eating Alone?
A source tells Crushable that swoonworthy Weeds star Demian Bichir was sitting alone in The Apple Pan in L.A. eating a cheeseburger. (It’s like Sad Keanu meets Drunk Hasselhoff!) Bichir plays Esteban, the drug lord/baby daddy of Nancy, Mary Louise Parker‘s character on Weeds, so he shouldn’t be hurting for companionship. He’s also hot, so there’s that. More »
Video: Mark Paul Gosselaar On ‘Weeds’ Makes Us Feel Funny Down There
Ho-boy. We admit we’ve been behind for a couple episodes of Weeds this season (between Boardwalk Empire, Eastbound and Down, and Mad Men, who has time to catch up on all their Sunday night TV?), but we finally caught up this week. And thank goodness we did, because next week is the beginning of the Zack Morris Mark Paul Gosselaar story-arc!
Uh, we have to go change our underwear. And rue the day Nancy Botwin ever became a role-model for drug… More »
Weird Celebrity Crush: Bradley Whitford
When I was about ten years old, my mother sat me down and gave me two pieces of relationship advice: 1. Always use a condom; 2. Never date an actor. I was brash and failed to take her word on the thespian thing (I don’t think this is the proper forum to comment on that first one), and a lot of drama and heartbreak came my way. What can I say? I like the right-brained types. But not the salad-ordering and mirror-staring and hair-gel time that goes along with so many people who perform for a living.
This is why I have a crush on Bradley Whitford. The Good Guys actor seems like the perfect antidote to pretty boy screen stars – not quite a troublemaker, but yet someone still interesting enough to get through dinner at a (non-salad-exclusive) restaurant. Specifically, I fell in love with Bradley Whitford’s West Wing character, Josh Lyman. Josh was the cranky Deputy Chief of Staff with a heart of platinum who bustled around the Oval Office with a know-it-all attitude. Plus, he totally on-screen dated Mary-Louise Parker – and MLP’s my #1 weird celebrity girl-crush. More »
Crushable Exclusive: ‘Weed’ Star Alexander Gould On Being a Young Dexter, Family Ties, And Selena Gomez
For anybody who watches Weeds, last season’s cliff-hanger was a real blow to the head…quite literally, in fact, after *spoiler alert* Shane Botwin (Alexander Gould) killed off his mother’s main rival and the secret drug queen of Mexico, Pilar, with a mallet to the skull. And while previous seasons have focused more on Mary-Louise Parker‘s matriarch Nancy, or her eldest son Silas’ (Hunter Parish) love life, this season is shaping up to be all about Shane as the family goes on the lamb after his cold-blooded killing. So how does an actor go from being the voice of the titular character in Finding Nemo to bashing someone’s head in with a croquet mallet (in his defense, he couldn’t find a golf club)? We spoke with Alexander about the darkness seeping into his character, his love of the show, and some possible lady love interests that he wouldn’t mind seeing for Shane. More »
‘Weeds’ Season Six Trailer: Highs And Lows
Man, I’m really not sure about Weeds this season. I have my reservations: After all, the stakes have been raised so high (sorry) that Nancy Botwin has gone from a suburban drug dealer to the wife of a Mexican Mayor/drug lord (and also the mother of a tween who murdered the Drug Queen-Pin of Mexico with a mallet? Sure.), so basically this show has gone as far as it possibly can go, in my opinion. Lets shut her down! But… More »
Mary-Louise Parker Doesn’t Like Someone
There’s a report on the internet about Mary-Louise Parker complaining about a ‘Weeds’ cast member, saying that they “were lacking talent, and had a sense of entitlement.”
For some reason, other gossip sites have taken this to mean she was complaining about Mary-Kate Olsen but there’s no proof of that anywhere!
The ‘Weeds’ cast is quite large, she could be talking about anyone.
Do you think she meant MK? Or someone else?
Thanks to jj for the tip!… More »
‘Weeds’ Renewed for Fourth Season!
‘Weeds’ has been renewed for a fourth season. I have no idea what this means for Mary-Kate Olsen and the other guest stars from this season.
Still, though, this is great news. I think ‘Weeds’ is a fantastic, funny and well-written show with great actors!… More »
