Lipstick Jungle Junked?

Say it isn't so! They may as well just cancel it altogether.

NBC announced it was doing a re-shuffle and moving Lipstick Jungle to Friday nights. The cast, Brooke Shields, Kim Raver, Lindsay Price, Andrew McCarthy, & Robert Buckley, may just as well shuffle their way back to LA in time for pilot season.

It seems to me that for some reason, it is hard to capture an audience where the program deals with women, their careers, friendships, and love lives. Basically, Sex & the City for the modern generation. Teen soaps (One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl, 90210) flourish all over. Crime dramas (Law & Order, CSI, NCIS) keep being added. Medical shows (Grey's Anatomy, House, ER) remain high on the list. But Cashmere Mafia, Emily's Reasons Why Not, and possibly Lipstick Jungle are shows that if you blink, they're dunzo.

At least I still have How I Met Your Mother!

Lipstick Jungle, Baby

Wow! Now I can see why Cashmere Mafia was canceled and Lipstick Jungle was not. I love this show! I wonder how it's doing in the ratings?

That scene with Nico (Kim Raver) and Kirby (Robert Buckley) on the roof top was wow. And as cute as Joe (Andrew McCarthy) is, the contractor that Victory is crushing on is so hot.

And the fashion is wow as well. Kim Raver's blue blouse from last week? So, so nice. Lindsay Price sported two bags last night that were pretty pretty. She sure doesn't look like Janet from 90210 anymore. Ian Ziering? Andrew McCarthy? Ian Ziering? Hot contractor guy?

Oh, and Brooke Shields also had a storyline but it was boring. They better spice her up quick.

Pretty In Pink Problematic?

I was reading an article about something and there was a quote from director Howard Deutch, who helmed Pretty In Pink. He said that Andrew McCarthy and Molly Ringwald did not get along during filming. I'm wondering a loud if that's true because didn't those two team up again in '87 or '88 to film Fresh Horses? But they sure had some chemistry for two people that weren't fond of each other. DVD owners of the special edition have said that Rinwald came across as arrogant during the commentary. I totally liked Blaine and Andie together and wanted to watch Fresh Horses so bad even though it looked like a horrible film.

Deutch also directed my all time favorite movie, Some Kind of Wonderful. That's how he met his wife, Lea Thompson (who played Amanda Jones), who moved on to Caroline in the City. God, that was a bad show, wasn't it?

Oh, and I still haven't seen Fresh Horses.

Robert Buckley @ The FlatIron

Lipstick Jungle co-stars Lindsay Price and (my new boyfriend) Robert Buckley were in the Flatiron District on Tuesday shooting scenes. Is he a regular now? I thought Kim Raver's character broke up with him last season to stay with her husband. Have you seen some of their scenes together? Wow! He's all into her cougarness. Andrew McCarthy (Blaine! from PIP) is on this show too and he looks really good!

And the Starbucks coffee I waited in line for earlier? Yeah, it's giving me a stomachache now. C'mon, us coffee drinkers know that happens most of the time, right?
