Jane Lynch is my favorite. Human. Of ever. And I'm super excited to see this promo for her big day next month, as she hosts the Emmys. She's gorgeous in that red dress and those golden gentlemen are delicious. Normally I would avoid the Emmys altogether ...but with this host...
Two big stories have just popped up in the TV sitcom world today, and I am cautiously optimistic regarding one. One of the shows I have been looking forward to this Fall is Up All Night; starring Will Arnett, Christina Applegate and Maya Rudolph. The show centers around a couple...
