* practically everyone is pissed with Allison Williams for not getting 'properly' naked. Wow....didn't know Irish girls use their elbows, hair (and pasties?) as a breasts cover during love-making. While we may have to wait for Season 3 to see Allison tits, it's obvious she is also could be insecure about the size and shape of her breasts. Don't they look similar to another Irish babe Katie McGrath?
Girls is back! If you were too busy watching all the middle cleavage at the Golden Globes and haven't had a chance to see the Girls Season 2 premiere, you may want to come back to this later because we've got a lot to discuss. I'm trying to pick up my jaw from my lap filled with cookie crumbs though and not just because I really hate seeing Hannah in flesh colored underwear. It was that terribly awkward sex scene where I was yelling at the TV "He's gay! What is he doing? What is she doing? This is just weird!"Oh and in case you forgot, Adam got hit by a truck at the end of last season. Must discuss. Spoilers ahead! The first time we question how committed to being gay Elijah is comes right in the opening scene. There he is, now Hannah's roommate because Marni moved out, spooning Hannah who you recall is her ex. The guy that gave her HPV. He's got morning wood but says it's not for her.
WHERE IS JESSA???? The newlywed! Where is Thomas John?!?!
Then we meet Elijah's older and slimy boyfriend George at the big party the new roomies throw at their apartment and we realize why Hannah's gay ex proceeds to get so drunk he ends up ass in the air and getting it on with Marni on the couch. This right after Marni confesses she could never be a gay man because she doesn't like oral and never had anal. Apparently that's sexy talk. No one's around at the time -- party had long been over. They kiss. She slaps him. They kiss again. She pushes him. Next thing you know he's naked, she's covering up her boobs because, you know, she's Brian Williams' daughter, and he gets a condom. A few thrusts later, he loses his erection; he accuses her of rolling her eyes and they're done.
WHAT IN THE WORLD JUST HAPPENED?!?! I didn't see the scene where Adam got hit by a truck coming last season and I sure as heck didn't think this would happen. Genius, Lena Dunham!!! You deserve those awards, girl!
Doesn't Marni know she can get HPV? Oh wait. Condom. Right. What we need to learn from this is that drinking and karaoke doesn't mix. Ever. The result? Sex with a gay man. A gay man who decides he doesn't want to have sex with you after three thrusts. Marni's self esteem already took a hit from her own mother played by the super hot Rita Wilson, when she tells her daughter she looks 30 over lunch. But Marni tries to salvage herself by saying "You don't have to try to be anything you are not," to Elijah. Burn! He bites back and says, "Neither do you." Ouch.
So Marni does what any self-respecting girl would do and heads over to her ex-boyfriend Charlie's house and tells him she doesn't want to cause any trouble with him and his girlfriend but she basically just needs to cuddle. In his cubby of a room. His girlfriend who wears strapless short rompers.
Oh Charlie. He gets hotter in every scene. Even when wearing a maroon mock turtleneck. I totally dated a Charlie once.
Another hottie. Hannah's new boyfriend. The adorable Donald Glover who is given the unfortunate name of Sandy. They seem in love already, which is odd because this is Brooklyn and no one moves that fast. And she hasn't really broken the news to Adam because, well, he broke his leg after getting hit by that truck.
"You're my main hang," he tells Hannah when she's trying to break up with him. "I came. You came hard. We all laughed. What's the issue? When you love someone you don't have to be nice all the time." What is this guy talking about? I'm never sure but he's grown on me. We never see it, but my guess he's got a big penis and he uses it well. That's why girls stay with guys like him. Though he has gotten emo lately.
Instead of breaking up with him, she holds a pot for him to pee in and waits until the end of the episode to tell him it's over. They'll be back together in a few episodes because Sandy apparently like Ayn Rand.
WHERE IS JESSA???? The newlywed! Where is Thomas John?!?! Making out in a cab just back from honeymoon. That's all we get. But we already had weird sex from Marni and Elijah, which I'd like to "unsee."
Until next week ....
HBO’s Girls: The Guys Talk Awkward Sex, Nude Scenes and Snorting Cocaine
by
Lena Dunham, the creator and star of the Golden Globe-winning “Girls,” said the show will continue to “push the envelope.” She looked terrific on the red carpet of the second-season premiere of the hit HBO series at NYU’s Skirball Center last week. The glitzy after party was at Capitale in the Meatpacking district, where guests walked across a crossway that was a replica of the Brooklyn Bridge to get into the party.
Dunham’s goal is a difficult proposition, but the second season of “Girls” is even sharper and funnier. The show’s characters – Dunham (Hannah), Zosia Mamet (Shoshanna), Jemima Kirke (Jessa) and Allison Williams (Marnie) – get in hotter water, struggle more with their friendship and their boyfriend relationships and, if you can believe it, have even more raw and awkward sex.
“Girls” won a Golden Globe for Best Comedy or Musical, and Dunham won for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical. Prior to the awards, she tweeted, “If Golden Globes support garment kills me, I leave my archives to my mother and my ephemera to my 8-year-old friend Coco.”
But she didn’t look as though she needed a support garment for the black-and-white strapless Valentino jumpsuit she wore to the “Girls” Manhattan premiere, although she kept tugging at the top of her outfit, which was tied in back with a bow and showed off her impressive tattoos and normal-sized rounded figure.
She’s chopped off her hair into a sophisticated pixie cut. By her side was her slender rocker boyfriend Jack Antonoff, who heads the group Fun, which is featured on the season two “Girls” soundtrack.
Everyone gets naked sooner or later in “Girls.” Peter Scolari, who plays Dunham’s father, had a hilarious shower sex scene last season with Becky Ann Baker, who played his wife. There are no more sex in the shower scenes for his character, Scolari told me on the red carpet, although his character does gets naked again later in the season. (For more of our interview with Scolari, click through to Showbiz411.com).
A new addition to “Girls” is Andrew Rannells, who was Tony-nominated for “The Book of Mormon” and now stars in Ryan Murphy’s comedy sitcom “The New Normal.” He plays Elijah, Hannah’s gay ex-boyfriend who is now her roommate. “I want to be Wendy Murdock,” his character tells Hannah when he explains his relationship with his much older, rich boyfriend.
He also has a sex scene with Williams in an early episode. I asked the openly gay actor if that was awkward for him.
“It totally made me nervous but once we started it was okay,” he said. “She’s (Williams) done so many awkward sex scenes in the first season” that “she put me at ease. There was no preparation. We just did it. I knew we were going to have to do it, and I was still doing ‘The Book of Mormon’ at the time so I felt like I was in decent shape so, well, I was like, ‘Oh well, just take it off. Let’s do it.’”
I asked him about the scene with Dunham where they are snorting cocaine and running around the city and getting increasingly more and more frazzled. “That was so much fun!” he told me. “Any time I get to do that much with Lena it’s amazing. We got to shoot all over the city and a lot of fake cocaine use and we just had a blast.”
Later on at the after party, Williams and Rannells exchanged long kisses, and he ran his hands all over the sides of her body while the photographers snapped.
The Guys on HBO’s Girls: Alex Karpovsky, Christopher Abbott, Adam Driver and Andrew Rannells
Alex Karpovsky plays Ray, the man who deflowers Shoshanna and later develops real feelings for her. He has two movies coming out March 29 that he wrote, directed and acted in: “Rubberneck” and “Red Flag.” He also just wrapped “Inside Llewyn Davis,” directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. (Adam Driver, who plays Hannah’s sort-of boyfriend, also stars in the Coen brothers’ film.)
So far, Karpovsky’s character Ray has been spared some of the more explicit sex scenes. “You just wait,” he told me. “There is some expression between Ray and Shoshanna (Zosia Mamet)” that is coming up.
I asked how comfortable he is about disrobing. “That’s the question that’s been asked most tonight,” Karpovsky cracked. “I wonder why’s it’s such a source of curiosity.”
“I have no problems at all with it,” he added. “I’ve shown everything in independent films before, and I feel once you’ve done it once or twice it’s no big deal. Also, Lena goes out of her way to create a really comfortable atmosphere for actors, not only in terms of taking risks and improvising, but also just physically to make sure we’re not doing anything we don’t want to do or feel uncomfortable doing. So between my experience and Lena’s way of holding a set, I was never uncomfortable.”
His character develops in the show; he goes from being smarmy to being sensitive and very loving, I noted.
“One of the things I’m really proud of in regards to the show is how it’s anchored in authenticity and how the characters are multi-dimensional and well-rounded, and sometimes it takes a while for us to get there. But ultimately, all the characters are really complicated and maybe initially you thought of them as a jerk or as a coward or this or that, but slowly as you get to know them, you see that they’re believable,” Karpovsky told me.
“They’re like a lot of us are. They’re textured and complicated and contradictory, and I think in Episode 7 of Season 1, Ray does something where he chases after Shoshanna after she smokes crack that’s very compassionate and it opens up a door to another side of him. And then in Season 2 we go deeper down that door and open up many others.”
There’s a scene coming up that’s painful to witness, where his character admits he’s a loser. I asked him how difficult that scene was to shoot.
“I never really look at myself as sort of a method actor or anything like that, but I feel there are certain types of scenes, and that was one of them that you’re describing that I feel it will really help if I remember stuff in my past and do some emotional memory stuff. Which, again, I don’t always do and don’t usually do in comedies. I kind of went into a place where it made me easier to relate to what Ray was going through. I really did feel like a loser, and I spent a lot of time in my life in that place, especially in high school.”
He added, “There’s a lot of places to draw from. It does make me sad even when the camera says cut, there’s still an emotional residual inertia.”
* Potentially good news in regards to super hot lesbian Camilla Belle. Couple of source including Nudography had her tagged for brief topless scene in upcoming I Brake for Gringos (2012). She reportedly flashes her tits at the male lead according to a Spanish blogger. Camilla plays a sexy call-girl Gaby in this very Joe Francis-que influenced flick - girls running around in skimpy bikinis and at Puerto Vallarta resort. It's also a flick produced to promote the Mexican resort famous for hosting Spring Breaks. Not coincidentally home to douche Francis as well. Scheduled for release in October of this year. If I get more info I'll post it here as soon as possible (it would be great if someone proficient in Spanish language could dig up any articles on Camilla nudity).
Good news : The movie will be rated 'R'. Still at editing stage.
Bad news : Nudography removed the entry relating to Camilla topless nudity.

Don’t Let Your Family Find Your Porn Stash After You Die, Let “Keepers” Do It For You!
Jan 14, 2013 by
Take a look around your room right now. If you were to drop dead this instant would you be okay with having family members go through all of your stuff?A lot of people have skeletons in their closet or on their hard drives that may be best left hidden even after death. It’s bad enough to have your friends and family mourn your passing but do they need the stress of learning you were into Japanese mud porn too?
So for the terminally ill, elderly, people wanting to maintain their double lives in perpetuity, and people living under constant fear of death, making arrangements with an experienced and independent 3rd party to come in and clean your space might be the way to go.
Making arrangements before departing this mortal coil has become something of a fad in Japan, especially since the release of the critically acclaimed documentary Ending Note (English title: Death of a Japanese Salesman) in 2011.
An ending note is an informal type of last will and testament but not legally binding. Their purpose is for people whose end is near to easily make the necessary preparations so that their family doesn’t have to deal with needless burdens.
Major stationery companies like Kokuyo even produce ending note kits to help facilitate the process.
Keepers is a private company run by Taichi Yoshida which started Japan’s first “Deceased Belongings Clean-Up Service” in 2000. In an interview with News Post Seven he tells some cautionary tales of his experiences with post-mortem secrets revealed.
“A lot of cosmetics and women’s underwear seems to come out of the rooms of estranged fathers.”
He also tells of men with mistresses and illegitimate children who were only discovered after death. As heavy as those cases are, even something not so serious but very unbecoming of your public persona might be best left hidden.
“There was a former elementary school teacher who was found to have over 1,000 adult videos in his home. His family was speechless.”
* I need to sign up for the service pronto!
Unless you’re Larry Flint, no one wants to be remembered that way. So you could throw out your sexy lady chop sticks and Christmas masturbation devices right now.
Or you could whip up an ending note to have some professionals who’ve seen it all come in and chuck them out when you’re truly done with them.

* sadly, the guy is right on the money........I'm an old prototype of this new breed of generation.
We are raising a generation of deluded narcissists
By Dr. Keith Ablow [Published January 08, 2013]
Psychologist Jean Twenge, the lead author of the analysis, is also the author of a study showing that the tendency toward narcissism in students is up 30 percent in the last thirty-odd years.
This data is not unexpected. I have been writing a great deal over the past few years about the toxic psychological impact of media and technology on children, adolescents and young adults, particularly as it regards turning them into faux celebrities—the equivalent of lead actors in their own fictionalized life stories.
On Facebook, young people can fool themselves into thinking they have hundreds or thousands of “friends.” They can delete unflattering comments. They can block anyone who disagrees with them or pokes holes in their inflated self-esteem. They can choose to show the world only flattering, sexy or funny photographs of themselves (dozens of albums full, by the way), “speak” in pithy short posts and publicly connect to movie stars and professional athletes and musicians they “like.”
Using Twitter, young people can pretend they are worth “following,” as though they have real-life fans, when all that is really happening is the mutual fanning of false love and false fame.
Using computer games, our sons and daughters can pretend they are Olympians, Formula 1 drivers, rock stars or sharpshooters. And while they can turn off their Wii and Xbox machines and remember they are really in dens and playrooms on side streets and in triple deckers around America, that is after their hearts have raced and heads have swelled with false pride for “being” something they are not.
On MTV and other networks, young people can see lives just like theirs portrayed on reality TV shows fueled by such incredible self-involvement and self-love that any of the “real-life” characters should really be in psychotherapy to have any chance at anything like a normal life.
These are the psychological drugs of the 21st Century and they are getting our sons and daughters very sick, indeed.
As if to keep up with the unreality of media and technology, in a dizzying paroxysm of self-aggrandizing hype, town sports leagues across the country hand out ribbons and trophies to losing teams, schools inflate grades, energy drinks in giant, colorful cans take over the soft drink market, and psychiatrists hand out Adderall like candy.
All the while, these adolescents, teens and young adults are watching a Congress that can’t control its manic, euphoric, narcissistic spending, a president that can’t see his way through to applauding genuine and extraordinary achievements in business, a society that blames mass killings on guns, not the psychotic people who wield them, and—here no surprise—a stock market that keeps rising and falling like a roller coaster as bubbles inflate and then, inevitably, burst.
That’s really the unavoidable end, by the way. False pride can never be sustained. The bubble of narcissism is always at risk of bursting. That’s why young people are higher on drugs than ever, drunker than ever, smoking more, tattooed more, pierced more and having more and more and more sex, earlier and earlier and earlier, raising babies before they can do it well, because it makes them feel special, for a while. They’re doing anything to distract themselves from the fact that they feel empty inside and unworthy.
Distractions, however, are temporary, and the truth is eternal. Watch for an epidemic of depression and suicidality, not to mention homicidality, as the real self-loathing and hatred of others that lies beneath all this narcissism rises to the surface. I see it happening and, no doubt, many of you do, too.
We had better get a plan together to combat this greatest epidemic as it takes shape. Because it will dwarf the toll of any epidemic we have ever known. And it will be the hardest to defeat. Because, by the time we see the scope and destructiveness of this enemy clearly, we will also realize, as the saying goes, that it is us.

Lindsay Lohan’s Racy ‘Canyons’ Sex Scenes May Be ‘Leaked’ Online
By Jen HegerSofia Vergara 'nervous' about threesome sex scene with Sharon Stone
LOS ANGELES – Golden Globe nominee Sofia Vergara may be best known as Gloria on ABC’s smash hit comedy “Modern Family,” but the Columbian-born funny lady tackled a very different kind of role in her latest film, John Turturro’s “Fading Gigolo.”
“It was a threesome scene that we were doing, which I was a little nervous about,” Vergara told FOX411 exclusively about her turn with cinematic icon Sharon Stone in the upcoming film. “She completely helped me with it. (She gave me) a lot of tips and secrets.”
While Stone may have something of a reputation for being a bit of a diva, Vergara had nothing but praise for her costar.
“It was amazing,” raved Vergara. “I was a little nervous to work with such an icon. I had never met her. But from the moment she walked on the stage and the set – she’s a real movie star. The way she is, the way she talks – everything.”
Vergara’s career is not the only thing that’s heating up. The star had a wild celebration over New Year’s Eve in Miami with fiancé Nick Loeb, but she says the couple hasn’t set a date for their wedding.
“No, not yet,” admitted Vergara. “I just came from a very big birthday, my 40th birthday. I did a really big party. I think when I get married, I guess I’m going to have to do another big party, because that’s what my family expects. They’ll be very upset (if I don’t) and now I don’t have the time.”
She may not be walking down the aisle any time soon, but now with her character on “Modern Family” becoming a new mom, Vergara definitely has babies on the brain.
“It’s great for me that I’m working with little babies, like real babies, on the set,” beamed Vergara. “It’s amazing how they smell. Everybody’s fighting to have them in their hands. It’s incredible. But at the same time, when they start crying and they won’t let you finish the scene–you want to squeeze them. So, it’s like a love and hate relationship.”
Vergara also has a new Diet Pepsi ad out, which she admits was a bit different from filming her first ad for the cola company for the Latin American market back in the ‘80s.
“We didn’t have to work on the wardrobe that much when I was 17,” explained Vergara. “I just put on a little bikini and that was it. Now, 22 years later, you have to nip and tuck and everything, so wardrobe takes a little bit longer!”

Girls star Allison Williams on Lena Dunham, her character’s emotional descent and why men secretly tune in
 |
| Allison Williams attends the Unicef SnowFlake Ball. |
Allison Williams may not be the voice of her generation, but she has a knack for surrounding herself with people who are.
As the daughter of NBC Nightly News anchor and managing editor Brian Williams, the 25 year old was brought up under the tutelage of one of the most trusted names in modern America. But it was last year that Williams really found her greatest foil. Or, to put it more bluntly, her greatest foil found her as the relative unknown became one of “Lena Dunham’s girls” – a quartet of young actresses led by charismatic auteur Dunham whose HBO show Girls would become a lightning rod for both youth cultural pride and criticism.
As Marnie Michaels, the Type A personality — ying to protagonist Hannah Horvath (Dunham)’s yang — Williams spent the majority of the show’s first season as the stable, if somewhat plain anchor to her emotionally frenetic best friend and roommate. A role which utilized both her natural, yet never overwhelming beauty, as well as the educated cadences she picked up as a student at Yale.
It also made her mostly immune to the onslaught of criticism, the majority of which (including accusations of racism and nepotism) fell upon writer-director Dunham.
However, as the show’s second season premieres this Sunday on HBO Canada, Williams warns the stable Marnie of Season 1 has given way to a new reality – one which more accurately reflects her archetype getting slapped with the harshness of bitter disappointment.
“This season is a little bit tougher on Marnie,” Williams explains during a recent interview in Toronto. “You could say she had her you-know-what together in Season 1. I would say that’s definitely different in Season 2.”
As written by Dunham, Marnie’s Job-like decent doesn’t take long to express itself, and by the end of the second season premiere it’s clear she’s begun her downward spiral into uncharted physical and emotional territories. The decline is made all the more steep as former foil Hannah appears to get her own life together, with the introduction of a seemingly stable boyfriend (played with much contention by African-American actor Donald Glover).
“She’s is no longer dating (long-term, loveless boyfriend) Charlie, she does not have a job, she is no longer living with Hannah and the economy is starting to bare down on her in a way that it wasn’t before. It’s definitely a reality check season for Marnie,” Williams explains. “But it’s also really interesting to see someone who only really thrives when everything is perfect in a situation that is very much not perfect.”
 |
| Allison Williams attends the Premiere Of Girls Season 2. |
“I think I expected there to be a lot of different reactions to the show because I think the show is inherently controversial,” she explains. “It’s is very intimate and it’s very honest, and honesty usually evokes some sort of reaction, either positive or negative, but it’s certainly polarizing.”
As for the accusations of racism, Williams deflects to a conversation Dunham had on NPR’s Fresh Air in which she addressed the issue.
“As Lena said, ‘Tokenism offends me.’ I think that speaks for itself,” she states, emphasizing the fact that the decisions to exclude racially diverse lead characters was “certainly was not intentional and it wasn’t meant to hurt anybody.”
Instead of dwelling on the subject, Williams hopes to bridge the show’s other greatest demographic divide, the male audience.
“Guys come up to me all the time and say, ‘I didn’t really want to watch this show, my girlfriend made me watch it but I kind of like it,’” she recalls with a smile. “They’re always really embarrassed and I tell them ‘so many guys watch it.’”
So to men everywhere, Williams has the following message:
“If you guys could all just feel more comfortable with watching this show — that you don’t just watch it because it’s on near Game of Thrones and you actually enjoy it — this world would be an easier place to live in.”
* 'So many guys watched the show', Allison hoping to see you naked and you know that as well. At least Shiri Appleby tits will soothe the pain I feel deep inside my dick.

‘Dexter’ season 8: First teaser (with ‘Ray Donovan’ included)
Showtime is wasting almost no time at all when it comes to promoting the eighth season of “Dexter.” Just days after first announcing that the drama will be back on the air this summer beginning on June 30, the network debuted their first teaser for the show during their lineup of “Shameless,” “House of Lies,” and “Californication” on Sunday night.Unfortunately, this teaser does not really fulfill any other purpose other than reminding you of the show’s new premiere date. There is no new footage (which makes sense given that none has been shot yet), and there is also no nifty or strange artistic design like we have seen from some other past teasers. Instead, all we have here are some highlights from the end of season 7, including the now-infamous scene featuring LaGuerta and Dexter telling his sister Deb to “do what you gotta do.” (We will probably receive a more substantial teaser in the spring, and an official trailer in the months that follow.)
What is interesting about this teaser to us is that in no part of it does it mention that this will be the final season for “Dexter,” which was assumed until the ratings started to spike upward at the end of the fall. We’re actually not positive that the show is going to draw monster ratings in June or even the same ones it did this past December, and there are two primary reasons for that:
1. More people are probably going to be hanging out outside than watching TV.
2. “True Blood” is likely to share at least a small percentage of the “Dexter” fanbase … though maybe not as much as “The Walking Dead” did (which could be a reason for fans to have some hope that there won’t be much of a drop-off).
In addition to “Dexter,” you can also see a first look thrown in here of “Ray Donovan,” the news series starring Liev Schreiber that is premiering following the show this summer.
* The end of Dexter. Hopefully Yvonne will show us something really tangible nudity-wise to hold on and stroke off as a lasting memory.

Sundance 2013: 'A Teacher' trailer shows student-teacher affair turned obsession - EXCLUSIVE VIDEO
The indie film directed and written by Hannah Fidell premieres at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, which runs from Jan. 17-27, in the forward-thinking Next category, and stars pretty, fresh-faced Lindsay Burdge as a Texas high school teacher who begins a relationship with her student, played by Will Brittain. Check out this exclusive trailer for the movie, below. Burdge blushes like, well, a teenager, Brittain struts around and tells her, “Take off your clothes,” and then things take a turn to the obsessive side. Bad bad teacher.
Both Burdge and Fidell reflected about school and sexuality to EW, and that fine line between a harmless crush, and dangerously acting on it.
"I read case studies of teachers who'd had affairs and gotten away with it, which was great for looking at the underlying psychology of these women and the specific trajectory of a student-teacher relationship," Burdge said. "When I think back on my years in school, it's the classes that were just a little sexy that I remember the best. And I watched real teachers use sexuality well -- as just another tool in their arsenal. The tricky task for the teacher, and anyone else playing with power, I think, is to have healthy boundaries, and that's where the story gets really interesting for me, when the boundaries are a little too fluid, and lines that are in place for a reason are crossed."
Fidell said she wouldn't let herself read up on any particular known female teacher-male student stories. She, like Burdge, looked at case studies and profiles.
"I wanted to really go at it from the starting point of 'what would have to happen for me to get myself into that sort of situation,'" Fidell said. "I did do some research on the psychological profiles of women who end up having sex with their students, but I can't emphasize enough that no one particular story was the basis for the film. While writing, I spent a few days in a high school classroom, observing some friends who are teachers just as a way to remember how teachers and their students interact. All of these girls were fawning over one particular friend of mine who was fresh out of grad school, which was just fascinating to watch."
But A Teacher, in ways, still reflects those publicized stories she didn't let herself research, as well as the experience of people she herself knew. Sexuality having the potential to be complicated, messy, and emotionally fraught.
"It wasn't until after we finished shooting that I started seeing how close we had gotten to a few of the recent 'outbreaks,'" she said. "I showed a very rough cut to another filmmaker early on and she started crying afterwards, saying that she had had a relationship with her English teacher in high school and that many of the events that happened in my film had happened to her. I think it was more than a little startling for me to realize how easy it could potentially be to cross that line."
* Hannah better don't turn this into a sympathetic portrayal of a sexual predator and makes it look like a victim-victim situation. That's Lifetime-Oprah crap. If she wants to humanize a predator imagine the uproar if it's a male teacher getting the benefit of the doubt. The leniency shown in the court proceedings to the female rapists is galling to say the least.

Picnic: Theater Review
The Bottom Line
Sam Gold's production doesn't tap the full emotional range of this minor key bout of small-town 1950s claustrophobia, but the revival nonetheless offers elements to savor.Venue
American Airlines Theatre, New York (runs through Feb. 24)Cast
Maggie Grace, Sebastian Stan, Ellen Burstyn, Reed Birney, Elizabeth Marvel, Mare Winningham, Madeleine Martin, Ben RappaportPlaywright
William IngeDirector
Sam GoldMaggie Grace and Sebastian Stan play the lovers in this Broadway revival of William Inge's 1953 drama, with an ensemble that also includes Ellen Burstyn.
NEW YORK – With their midcentury mores and soft-edged melodrama woven out of lives colored by despondency, emptiness and sexual repression, William Inge’s plays remain very much rooted in their period. Yet there’s something undeniably pleasurable about sinking into the vivid evocation of small-town Middle America in his 1953 Pulitzer winner, Picnic. While the heat between the central couple in director Sam Gold’s Broadway revival could have been turned up a notch, the veil of melancholy hanging over the play’s characters generates a quiet poignancy.
That mood is established by Andrew Lieberman’s set design even before the action begins. It depicts two modest neighboring Kansas houses with adjacent porches that share a backyard. Open kitchen windows reveal a detailed interior that adds to the homey picture, accompanied by music wafting from the radio and the whistle of a passing train. But beyond those faded clapboard houses is a solid wall of corroded metal, which might be a barn, but also a symbolic prison. There’s not a patch of trees or sky in this view, bathed in gorgeous naturalistic lighting by Jane Cox. The visuals suggest the feelings of despair, suffocation and frustrated desire that permeate the stillness of this sleepy rural town. The outlook from here is a wall.
So when rugged drifter Hal Carter (Sebastian Stan) wanders along and strips to his waist while doing yard work for Mrs. Helen Potts (Ellen Burstyn), it’s not surprising that the heads of a cluster of women are instantly turned. Hal’s unabashed sexuality, manliness and distinct whiff of danger make him an unsettlingly exotic specimen in these parts.
For those of us who have previously experienced Inge’s play only in Joshua Logan’s 1955 film version, that intoxicating stranger is forever sculpted in the form of William Holden. Even if, strictly speaking, he was too old for the part, it was easy to believe that Madge Owens, the dreamy local beauty played by Kim Novak, would succumb to his rough-hewn charms.
Stan lacks the signs of weathered experience that seem essential to the role. The actor’s buff, oiled torso and eight-pack abs have clearly just stepped out of a 21st-century gym. Hal has the cocky swagger of a former college football star but also a gnawing awareness of his shortcomings, being a dropout with no prospects. His boastful adventures and big dreams are exposed as hollow even as he’s sounding off about them. While he’s certainly a capable actor, Stan seems to be trying on the part for size rather than fully owning Hal’s wildness and primitive hunger.
As Madge, the peaches-and-cream blonde on whom Hal fixes his covetous gaze, Maggie Grace is exceptionally lovely. But like Stan, her physical attributes outweigh the depth of her characterization. It’s touching when Madge complains that she wants to be noticed for something besides her looks, envying her brainy tomboy kid sister Millie (Madeleine Martin, a tad cartoonish). But even when Hal unleashes the real woman inside the doll, the truth is that there’s not a whole lot else going on. Perhaps it’s Gold’s interpretation of the play that both Madge and Hal have a fatalistic grasp of their limitations.
While the production keeps the sensuality on a medium flame, the delicate textures brought to some of the secondary characters work well.
Mare Winningham is affecting as Madge and Millie’s watchful mother, Flo. “A pretty girl doesn’t have long -- just a few years,” she warns Madge with blunt pragmatism. “Next summer you’ll be 19, and then 20, and then 21 and then 40.” Flo urges her daughter to work on hooking her wealthy summer beau, Alan (Ben Rappaport), at the Labor Day picnic, determined that she should get a foot in the country club door. Flo’s aspirations, however, are not those of a climber. She’s a pensive woman who presumably missed her own window, got entangled with the wrong man and now watches anxiously as Madge looks set to repeat the pattern.
A similar shadow of regret is etched beneath the warmth and cheer of Burstyn’s Helen. Unlike Flo, the fluttery neighbor can still enjoy the idea of romance, even if it’s far removed from the reality of an unfulfilled life spent taking care of her demanding mother. A scene between Burstyn and Winningham near the end is exquisite.
The production’s most memorable performance is also in some aspects a little questionable. As the self-described “old-maid schoolteacher,” Rosemary, Elizabeth Marvel is a hoot. However, she pushes the comic-relief duties to the point of caricature, her judgmental prudery giving way to raucousness and then bitterness after a swig or two of bootleg whiskey. But Marvel plays Rosemary’s desperate reckoning after the picnic with raw anguish, reaching an emotional intensity that’s too seldom matched elsewhere. When she abandons all dignity and pleads with dullish shopkeeper Howard (Reed Birney) to marry her, she’s making a humbling confession that she knows he’s her last chance. The alternative of continuing to live in a rented room and dress up for lunches with her simpering fellow teachers (amusingly played by Maddie Corman and Cassie Beck) is unendurable.
Birney brings intelligent restraint and an intriguing hint of something darker to his characterization, shooting hypnotized glances at Madge before being goaded into a marriage with scant hope of contentment.
Despite producing four popular and critical successes in the 1950s, Inge’s work has proven less durable than that of some of his contemporaries. His plays lack the thematic expansiveness of Arthur Miller, or the sad poetry of Tennessee Williams. But as a snapshot of a time and place that shows the solitude of small-town life for so many people, women especially, Picnic yields gentle rewards. And if Gold’s staging muffles some of them, it nonetheless finds resonance in the play’s bruised cynicism about love.
Venue: American Airlines Theatre, New York (runs through Feb. 24)
* so it seems Maggie refusal to plug Californication has more to do with her anger at spin-off cancellation than her busy rehearsals in New York for Picnic stage play. Got the timing wrong when I remarked about Showtime execs reviewing if a own show for Faith character is viable. They already decided before the holiday period and came to conclusion the role just wasn't strong enough to warrant or able to sustain a series revolving her adventure in redemption. The guys in charge felt it was more banal than carnal with Maggie's portrayal. She was originally slated to join David Duchovny at the SiriusXM Studios 'The Opie and Anthony Show' to talk about her and Hank helping each other find themselves. David covered for her. Maggie supposed to open up to the media about her Faith role this week just before her proper intro on the show so it's now wait and see situation. The real bad news for Maggie is the rather weak opening review of Picnic. Broadway is not doing so well in terms of attendance and reviewers are almost always kind on the opening weekend to help bolster ticker sales before 'real' reviews comes out.

Why Technology Is the New Casting Industry Standard
By Marci Liroff
The online company, Cast It Talent, had posted an open call notice in this group for 18-20 yr olds for a new feature film from a "major studio." It's free to join and submit yourself for this open call.
Almost immediately, members of the group cried foul. They thought they smelled a scam. Comments like: "With all due respect, if this is actually a casting call, why has it not come through one of the four major casting directors in Seattle?" and "Just checking as we've had some faux casting notices in the past."
Because I’ve used Cast It for my casting needs, as do most of the major casting directors, I tried to appease their fears by letting them know this notice was legit. I wrote, "Ain't nothing faux about it. I do searches like this all the time. Since they are looking to 'discover' people, this is a great, inexpensive, and fast way to do a LARGE initial search and cover the entire country. We then go through each and every audition, narrow things down, and usually have a smaller group do another audition. It's like a "virtual audition." Then we fly in the finalists to work with in person."
And they still kept coming! "I'm an old fart and could be behind the times, but in my humble opinion, a major studio doesn't cast this way. Sometimes they do publicity stunts and put out a notice like this but I have never seen major motion pictures cast this way. There are more than enough 18-20 year olds in Hollywood. They really don't need to search for them."
Since I'm involved with actors worldwide, I've seen a shift lately in terms of an abundance of "too-good-to-be-true" casting notices, i.e. sites that claim that if you pay their membership fee they will introduce you to casting directors and guarantee that you will book jobs, and online "classes" that guarantee fame and fortune. There's definitely a lot of opportunities to separate actors from their hard-earned money.
I was actually pretty impressed with this Seattle group whose red flags were raised by this notice. They were done getting taken advantage of by these scams and were circling the wagons.
What occurred to me from this dialogue is that there may be a true disconnect in cities outside of the major film production cities like L.A./NY/Chicago. That these actors were questioning this whole concept was very telling. As much as I was trying to educate them as to the industry standard, they still pushed back - "We like the old way!"
Since the advent of the Internet, everything is faster, more streamlined, and less expensive to do a search like this. Because everyone has a video camera, we have come to depend on actors to be proactive and be able to self-tape their initial audition. This is the industry standard these days. When I'm casting a project I get links sent to me of auditions from all over the world. And if you aren't comfortable with this technology yet, you'd better get on board or you'll be run over by the train.
When I cast "Mr. Popper’s Penguins," I had an actor in mind for the role of Jim Carrey's funny assistant, Pippy. I had seen Ophelia Lovibond in "Nowhere Boy" and knew she'd be perfect for this part. It was a tough role, and we read hundreds of women across the country. I asked Ms. Lovibond to put herself on tape so that I could show my team. A total perfectionist, she got her actor friend to read with her off-camera and taped a flawless audition. My director, Mark Waters, immediately fell in love and I hooked them up on Skype so that they could "meet." Waters was "virtually" in the room with her and directed her while she had her "callback." I sent her new audition to the studio, and she was hired. All of this occurred without her ever being in the room with the creatives.
At this point, I should warn the reader that I am not advocating hiring an actor whom you've not met face-to-face. This casting situation above was unique and the fact that Lovibond had already established herself by doing several films assured us that she was a consummate professional. As much as I love technology, I'm still an old-school gal and along with seeing your work, I need to get a personal "hit" off of you by meeting you in person.
There are thousands of actors in Los Angeles that would meet this casting description for the open call, but when we're on the search to discover someone, we want to actually look under every rock, shake the trees as it were, and truly find someone new. The technology we're using to have the actor self-tape is merely a tool to reach a much wider audience.
Actors nowadays are so much more in control of their destiny by all of these tools. When I started out in casting, actors were literally waiting for their phone to ring and waiting for their agents to call them with an audition. Now, an actor in the middle of the country can learn how to self-tape their audition and be more in control of the final product that they're sending out. If you're all thumbs about this, I'm sure you know at least five people who can help you set things up and all you have to do is study your lines, make some great character choices, and do your audition like you'd normally do - except this time you can do it over and over (and over again) until you get it right and then send it to me!
Known for her work in film and television, Casting Director Marci Liroff has worked with some of the most successful directors in the world such as Steven Spielberg, Ridley Scott, Mark Waters, Christopher Nolan, Brad Bird, and Herbert Ross. While working at Fenton-Feinberg Casting, she, along with Mike Fenton, cast such films as “A Christmas Story," “Poltergeist," “E.T. – The Extra Terrestrial," “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom," and “Blade Runner." After establishing her own casting company in 1983, Liroff cast “Footloose," “St. Elmo's Fire," “Pretty in Pink," “The Iron Giant," “The Spitfire Grill," “Untamed Heart," “Freaky Friday," “Mean Girls," “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past," “Mr. Popper’s Penguins” and the upcoming “The Sublime and Beautiful,” which she produced as well.
