ShePop: Time to feed our longtime girl crush on 'Target Women' host Sarah Haskins! | PopWatch Blog | EW.com → popwatch.ew.com

And now such daring feats have gotten you enough attention to sell a script. I’m supposed to technically say it’s been “optioned.” It’s called Book Smart. I wrote it with my writing partner Emily Halpern, who’s written for The Unit and Private Practice. I know her from college. It’s about two girls who have been perfect their whole life and they decide senior year they’re going to devote their perfection to the getting of boyfriends. We wanted to do a female take on a typical teen movie. I think just complexity of character is a little bit lacking [in many female-focused films], and I think you’re also missing a broader spectrum of women. There are all these beautiful ladies who can’t get a boyfriend, and it’s like, Really?

“

So Bobby Jindal makes fun of ‘volcano monitoring’, and soon afterwards Mt. Redoubt erupts. Susan Collins makes sure that funds for pandemic protection are stripped from the stimulus bill, and the swine quickly attack.

What else did the right oppose recently? I just want enough information to take cover.

“But a lot of us are cheering her on and hoping we’re going to hear more from that public policy side of Michelle Obama. Maybe it’s the old-fashioned feminist in me. I want to keep celebrating that brain.”

Please Save Chuck → pleasesavechuck.com

I swear, once “Chuck” gets renewed, I’ll stop posting about it so often. I watched last season, but it got *SO* much better this season. I’ll just really miss it if it gets cancelled.

And I’ll never forgive Jay Leno (like he cares).

“It’s very common for chasms to open between critics and viewers: Everybody tells you to watch The Wire, and you should, but it’s a lot of work. Many great shows — especially those that are underappreciated and therefore get a lot of critical praise — can be hard to watch. It’s part of what makes them challenging, and that’s part of what makes them worthwhile.

But here, critics find themselves passionately advocating for something that’s extraordinarily enjoyable to watch. It’s like being a dentist who’s in the position of telling people entirely truthfully, “You know what’s really, really, REALLY good for your teeth? Gummi bears!”
