Tim Allen’s new sitcom Last Man Standing premiered on ABC Tuesday night, drawing jeers from sensible audience members and critics alike. Several took offense to one joke in particular. Mike (Allen) is complaining about the sensitivity training at the school his kids attend. “I just don’t think your kid should go to that school,” he says. “You know how that ends up—Boyd dancing on a float.”
Entertainment Weekly’s Tanner Stransky wrote a post on why the joke is offensive. And he’s right—it’s pretty awful. But the real problem is the series’ larger concern with masculinity, and a growing trend in returning to so-called traditional gender roles. More »
There are certain things that are absolutely true: there will always be death and taxes, tabloid magazines will always speculate about the possible contents of Jennifer Aniston’s womb, and American Idol is not a singing competition.

Yesterday, Tyra Banks previewed a special sneak peak from her upcoming guest appearance on Gossip Girl, including some scenes she shares with Hilary Duff. In Gossip Girl, Tyra plays Ursula, an actress who co-stars with Hilary Duff’s character, Olivia, in a series of very successful vampire movies.
The scene previewed by Tyra appears to be from that fake vampire movie, Fleur, which is presumably the latest one to open up at the movie premiere we see here.
So exciting!!… More »

Although Hilary Duff arrived yesterday to the Gossip Girl set wearing a casual outfit, it looks like her scenes near Gramercy Park were anything but casual! I’m guessing this is a scene where Hilary Duff’s character, Olivia Burke, is doing something as an actress.
