Jenji Kohan sure has interesting taste in Hollywood women. In her ganja-centric comedy, Weeds, quirky starlets are sprinkled throughout the show as numerously as those little boxes (made of ticky-tacky) that dot the landscape of Agrestic. Now, following in the tracks of doe-eyed Zooey Deschanel and well-heeled hobo Mary-Kate Olsen comes the dark queen of break-up music herself, Alanis Morissette.... read more

No, neither business partner Conrad and Nancy, nor drug king-pin Guillermo and Nancy, are to have any romantic future. Yes, Nancy will (supposedly) struggle more this season with ethical quandaries and find a new love interest. No, she will not be dealing harder drugs.... read more

If ever there was a reason to listen to the same song 10 times in a row, this is probably it.

Scandalous money-making side-projects of wholesome-seeming ladies-next-door will light up the fictionalized television market in June, when Weeds returns early for a fourth season, juxtaposed with British import, Secret Diary of a Call Girl. The former picks up with dealer-mom Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) adjusting to a literal, wildfire-induced blaze-up of her own neighborhood, while Diary follows the life of a legal secretary by day, call girl by night (Billie Piper, of Dr. Who fame). O, the duality of woman. Diary, which really should have been called Hookers, just because it’s fun to say, “I need to get home in time... read more
