The L Word Online has up a screen shot of the August Details magazine spread with Leisha Hailey, Sarah Shahi, Kate Moennig, Mia Kirshner, and Erin Daniels. In it, the ladies jump on a bed, attack each other with feather pillows, and squeal while clad in skimpy nightwear. Hot, right? There’s also a funny video […]

Actress Kristanna Loken, most famous for playing a machine in Terminator 3 (and making out with Pink in a Monte Carlo nightclub) is set for 10 episodes next season. She’ll play a single mom who meets Shane at a PTA meeting (don’t ask, ’cause we don’t know.) More info at AfterEllen.

Sarah Warn at AfterEllen has a funny column up about recent news that an actress named Janina Gavankar will play a “smokin’ hot” (so says the Showtime press release) Latina named Papi on next season’s L Word. In addition to noting how Latinas on the show are always described as “smokin’ hot,” she wonders why […]

The L Word Online has up pictures of Janina Gavankar, the actress who’ll play Papi, a hot Latina who “…canoodles with everyone and competes with Shane.” She’s cute and all, but everytime we hear the name “Papi” we can’t help but think of a smaller version of David Ortiz. Anyone else? No? Never mind.

Reuters is reporting that Cybill Shepherd will be joining the cast next season, as a married mother who starts questioning her sexuality. Apparently because she meets Bette. If we were straight and we met Jennifer Beals, we would hope that we’d question our sexuality too.

Don’t read if you don’t wanna know, but The L Word Online has news from their inside sources that the original music supervisor is leaving and that Elizabeth Ziff will be handling all the music on the show now. On the upside, it sounds like they may be ditching the Betty theme song. (But strangely, […]

AfterEllen points us to a TV Guide report that Marlee Matlin will be joined the L Word cast next season for 11 episodes. She’ll play an artist who’s got the hots for Bette. Good for the L Word, but is it good for Marlee? The lady does have an Oscar, after all.

We completely forgot about the L Word online fanisode contest. [Ed.: Probably because we didn’t care.] So we were surprised to hear that they’ve already crowned the grand-prize winner: Jan Naugle, an aspiring novelist from Colorado. Sounds like the alternate-universe plot has some additional lesbians named Cari and Sam, and more details on Dana, who’s […]

Buffy’s newly-out Iyari Limon gives an interview to AfterEllen in which she talks about her hot DJ girlfriend, and reveals some dirt about The L Word casting process. It turns out she auditioned for the Carmen role and had to play a scene with Katherine Moennig, in which she sat on her lap in front […]

We saw in Advocate editor Anne Stockwell’s report from Dinah Shore that Laurel Holloman was briefly booed when she got up on the bandstand to address the crowd. The ladies, it seems, didn’t like that Tina is now sleeping with boys. To which we say, there are so many other reasons than that to boo.
We […]
