Wendy — Tue, 26 May 2009 12:52:49 +0000

Weeds’ season five promos are pretty clever – the fifth season kicks off June 8 and Showtime is airing these ads about the “History of Weed” and a political campaign play called “Yes We Cannabis.” Check out the videos after the jump.

Mary Louise Parker Nude Bathtub Scene: “Shows Off her Big Nipples” for Weeds

Wendy — Tue, 19 May 2009 02:25:48 +0000

Aww, Mary Louise Parker isn’t too keen on her nude bathtub scene for Weeds, expressing some regret in a recent interview, where she jokingly says the headline ‘Mary Louise shows off her big nipples’ and pictures of her topless would be the talk of the Internet.

Mary Louise Parker gives an interview for More magazine, talking about life as a single mother and the much talked about Weeds naked bathtub scene.

Among other things, Mary Louise says she won’t comment on what happened between her and ex-Billy Crudup, saying, “I’ve never commented on the situation, and I won’t because it’s not fair to my son. Who wins? No child can benefit in that situation. Your love for your child should eclipse any other feelings you have for another person.”

As for that Weeds bathtub scene, Mary Louise Parker comments, “I didn’t think I needed to be naked, and I fought with the director about it, and now I’m bitter…I knew it was going to be on the Internet: ‘Mary Louise shows off her big nipples.’ I wish I hadn’t done that. I was goaded into it.”

I don’t think any of Mary Louise’s fans will complain about the nipple shot though.

Mary-Louise Parker looks nothing short of gorgeous in this season 5 poster picture for Weeds, premiering Monday, June 8.

The Weeds poster features the tagline “Oh what a tangled web…” Indeed.

Kevin Nealon Howard Stern Show: Plugs New Movie, Mentions SNL Alum Jan Hooks, Chris Farley

Wendy — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 19:48:31 +0000

Kevin Nealon stopped by this morning’s Howard Stern show to plug his new movie “Remarkable Power!” and to talk about SNL alums, including Jan Hooks and Chris Farley. The mention of Jan Hooks got me thinking about some of my favorite Jan Hooks moments, including the Sweeney Sisters and the video clip above, where she says “I am a bar fly.”

Al Franken’s former writing partner, Tom Davis, has just released a book called “39 Years of Short-Term Memory Loss: The Early Days of SNL From Someone Who Was There.” Naturally, plenty of SNL alumni, including Kevin Nealon and Jan Hooks, are mentioned in the book.

Kevin Nealon, who stars on Showtime’s Weeds, plugged his new movie “Remarkable Power!” during his Howard Stern appearance.

Kevin Nealon also discussed Chris Farley during the Stern show, comparing his demise to Stern sidekick Artie Lange.

The 15 Hottest TV Moms of All Time

Wendy — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 16:51:01 +0000

While not all the moms on this list will win a Mother of the Year award, there’s no disputing that there are plenty of hot mamas among them. Check out TV Crunch’s list of 15 Hottest TV Moms of All Time. Hot… or not?

15. Carol Brady (The Brady Bunch)

Hang with me on this one – it was the 70s, ya know, so maybe Carol Brady isn’t smokin’ by today’s standards, but she was pretty friggin hot back in the day. Plus, she looked like she was a major tiger in bed, always cozying up to Mike Brady. Speaking of Tiger – what the hell ever happened to that mutt?

14. Rita Bennett (Dexter)

As Dexter’s girlfriend (now wife), Rita seems a little clueless – how can she not know about Dex’s secret side? Despite being a beauty, being oblivious to Dexter’s side hobby may be a big flaw. Give her credit though – she was a single mom with a messed up past that included all matter of abuse, and she’s one strong woman.

13. Tami Taylor (Friday Night Lights)

Sure, it’s all about the football – but hot coach’s wife and guidance counselor Tami Taylor is one sexy mom that injects her sensibility into the crazy mix. A gorgeous redhead who’s into football – sounds like a football fan’s dreamgirl.

12. Gabrielle Solis (Desperate Housewives)

To be fair, that jump ahead 5 years on Desperate Housewives wasn’t kind to Gabrielle, but she’s still sexy underneath her frazzled mom frump. Let us not forget her pre-kid sexy days when she was getting it on with her gardener. Her inner hotness will no doubt shine again as the season wears on.

11. Joy Turner (My Name Is Earl)

She’s crass talkin’ white trash who rocks her hair extensions and cheesy clothes – damn if Joy isn’t the hottest trailer trash on the planet. Her self-confidence and tell-it-like-it-is attitude only wins our hearts over more.

10. Elyse Keaton (Family Ties)

Sha-la-la-la… ooh, that Elyse Keaton, she epitomized the 80s hot mom – as post-hippie mama to republican uptight Alex P. Keaton, Elyse and hubby Steven clearly had some smokin’ chemistry. Mama Keaton was equal parts sexy wife and fab mother.

9. Peg Bundy (Married … With Children)

A little cheesy, sure, but Peg Bundy’s cleavage baring tops, tight pants and high heels made her the anti-soccer mom – and we love her for it. Her unorthodox child raising be damned, Peg brought over-the-top hot to TV. Yeah, she’s trashy and unconventional… but we wouldn’t have her any other way.

8. Claire Littleton (Lost)

The hottest mom ever to give birth while stranded on a mysteriously whack island, Claire Littleton is a blonde Australian beauty who shows she’s fragile and strong all at the same time – and all while looking out for the best interest of her baby. Too bad she’s a ghost mom now.

7. Niki Sanders (Heroes)

Niki Sanders is maybe a little too complicated for some guys, but that doesn’t detract from her sexiness. An internet stripper with issues that include split personality Jessica and a red-hot deadly temper, Niki may be a little safer to check out from a distance.

6. Rachel Green (Friends)

We watched Rachel go from sexy single woman playing the dating game, to pregnant… to mom to baby Emma in the final two seasons. And while her on-again/off-again relationship with baby daddy Ross was a rollercoaster run, new mommyhood matured Rachel and she never lost her sex appeal.

5. Margene Heffman (Big Love)

Bill Henrickson’s third – and hottest – wife on Big Love, Margene started out as the Henrickson’s babysitter but her sweet, young ways quickly found her in the wifey lineup. She’s finding her order among the wives, but her fresh-faced adorable mom definitely gets top billing among the top 5 of our list.

4. Betty Draper (Mad Men)

Betty takes the stuffy 50s/60s housewife and, despite being a picture perfect former model, gives us a glimpse at her internal suffering as a repressed (and depressed) woman. Betty is a fox, no doubt, but she wants to be the perfect wife, mother and hostess – clearly, there’s a lot she needs to sort out.

3. Kate Austen (Lost)

Kate’s a mom by default, picking up mom duties where dead mama Claire left off, but she truly cares about Aaron too. We’ve seen Kate barely clothed and making out with both Jake and Sawyer, so we know she’s got good taste in guys. Plus she’s a former fugitive – that’s kinda hot, right?

2. Becky Donaldson (Full House)

Just try and deny the hotness of Becky Donaldson on Full House. Becky and Uncle Jesse were like a fantastic force of beauty to be reckoned with – Becky’s the ultimate smiley-smiley sweet aunt, wife, friend and mother and perhaps one of the only good reasons to still watch reruns of Full House.

1. Nancy Botwin (Weeds)

Sometimes a mom’s gotta do what a mom’s gotta do – and Mary-Louise Parker’s Nancy Botwin does just that, becoming suburban pot dealer to keep her family on track. Are her methods less-than-desirable? Sure. Is she smart, funny and sexy in the process? You bet.

Mary-Louise Parker and Jeffrey Dean Morgan Call Off Engagement

Wendy — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 12:41:27 +0000

I think at this point it’s safe to say that Mary-Louise Parker and Jeffrey Dean Morgan aren’t going to make it as a couple. The news today is that Mary-Louise Parker and Jeffrey Dean Morgan have called off their engagment.

Maybe there are just too many names between them?

Mary-Louise Parker and Jeffrey Dean Morgan have had an on-again-off-again relationship, for the most part, but the couple reconciled and kicked it up a notch by announcing their engagement earlier this year.

Looks they’re off again at this point.

Are Mary-Louise Parker and Jeffrey Dean Morgan Engaged?

Wendy — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 13:52:36 +0000

I don’t know about you, but I’m having a hard time keeping track of what’s going on with “Weeds” stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Mary-Louise Parker… but now it looks like the formerly split couple are back together. And engaged.

New York’s Daily News is reporting the news, but neither Mary-Louise Parker nor Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s reps are confirming anything. We’ll see if this is on the up-and-up soon enough.

Trouble on Weeds?

Sherry — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 17:32:54 +0000

According to TMZ, Mary-Louise Parker has been complaining about one of her Weeds co-stars. Though she didn’t name names, she was overheard and was apparently “none too happy with someone on her show, saying they were lacking talent, and had a sense of entitlement.” Considering Weeds has a couple of seasons under its belt and Mary-Kate Olsen is the newest full cast member, it’s not too hard to guess who she is most likely talking about. Ouch!

Hey, did you know that you can watch weeds online?
