TV UPFRONTS 2012: The CW Fall Shows To Watch!

THE CW UPFRONTS 2012

The CW has grown up! Their new fall programs have an adult vein that seems to be the new trend for the network – almost. We’re glad we’ll get to see a teen Carrie Bradshaw before she became an “It” girl in midseason series The Carrie Diaries. Here are the shows you’ll want to watch.

Emily Owens, M.D. (Tuesdays, 9 p.m.)
WHAT IT’S ABOUT. The nerdy girl from high school grows up to be a brilliant surgeon-in-training, but learns that the firs real-life lesson is that hospitals are still pretty much like high school.
WHY YOU’LL WATCH. We can admit we’re already hooked on Emily. She represents the unsure, insecure girl that sometimes seeps out in all of us, and we can’t help but root for her to come out on top. We have a good feeling that she will.

GAL APPROVED: Weekend Edition: 2 Broke Girls’ Bra Tips; Chic Sleep & Frye for Men!

2brokegirls

UPLIFT. Our biggest scoop of TV Upfront Week? 2 Broke GirlsKat Dennings revealed to us (moments before she took cupcakes on stage at CBS Upfront at  Carnegie Hall) that “booblicious” gals should try Vivienne Westwood bras and corsets. Of course, one of our favorites to get the job done is Body Wrap Shapewear. We first discovered these super lightweight “shapers” a few months ago with the cute tap pants that make our butt look legend-”wait-for-it”-dary! The seamless undergarments are designed to slim, tone and enhance any woman’s figure through innovative design and seamless construction. What we have recently discovered is the full line of supportive garments not only shape what your-mama-gave-yah, they make you look awesome and feel uber-sexy! I’ll be rocking the floral shaper, so expect things to get a little heated on Saturday date night!

TV UPFRONTS 2012: CBS’ Fall TV Shows To Watch!

cbs-elementary-jonny-lee-miller-lucy-liu-image

When you’ve got 19 returning shows on your fall TV calendar – including our new fave 2 Broke Girls – why even bother with new programming? Because you can! Here are the new shows you’ll want to watch on CBS.

Elementary (Thursdays, 10 p.m.)
WHAT IT’S ABOUT. This modern-day twist on the Sherlock Holmes tale features a female Watson (Lucy Liu) and the same peculiar detective who brilliantly solves crimes.
WHY YOU’LL WATCH. Three words: Jonny. Lee. Miller. There’s always been something compellingly mysterious about this actor. Now he’s playing the equally inexplicable Holmes – with an English accent to boot. We’ll watch just to see how he solves the crime – of delivering such devilishly good lines.

DIVAGALS DAILY DISH: Terminator 3 actor Nick Stahl missing, Cannes Film Festival, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga news…

stahlx-inset-community

Ok … to make this work you have to say it with your best Mae West voice … “Oh Dr. Oz is that a stethoscope in your pants or are you just glad we didn’t cancel our annual physical?”… Dr. gets the Good Housekeeping seal of approval!

This makes us smile. So many celebrities talk about saving the planet but they are shuttled around with a security team in mirror-windowed, gas guzzling SUV’s. Then flying off to the next premiere or fundraiser in a private jet … But our girl Zoe Saldana keeps it real. She rides the subway trains … just like us. Check out exhibit A … And no she wasn’t speaking in the Na’vi language to her fellow passengers.

Eagles quarterback Michael Vick likes it so he’s putting a ring on it

Stop the presses! Cannes film festival has a surprisingly low number of female directors from the 22 films being screened. What a shock! And apart from Will Smith’s family the only diversity your going to see is among the wait staff …. Hooray for Hollywood!!

This makes us sad … Nick Stahl of Terminator 3 is missing and we are pretty sure a time machine wasn’t involved, however, drugs may have been …

more shocking entertainment news … Justin Bieber drinks beer but doesn’t let it get out of control. I see London I see France but somehow I can’t see Lady Gaga’s pants. Coz she is not wearing them with her Chanel blazer because she wants you to stop what your doing and LOOK AT HER NOW This is also the reason that Indonesia said “you can’t performer in our country” ….

TV UPFRONTS 2012: ABC’s Fall TV Shows to Watch!

mistresses-abc-cast-05-550x825

Thank you ABC for presenting us with a nice dose of diversity. Each show this season has at least two cast members that are “people of color.” So nice when art imitates life. Here are the ones you won’t want to miss.

Mistresses
WHAT IT’S ABOUT. Duh — Women sleeping with other women’s husbands!
WHY YOU’LL WATCH. It’s a sexy soapy drama based on a British drama of the same name with Alyssa Milano, Rochelle Aytes, Yunjin Kim and Jes Macallan. We love the diverse casting, and this is the ONLY way to get busy outside of your own relationship.

TV UPFRONTS 2012: FOX’s Fall TV Shows to Watch!

MindayProjectFOX

It was a double bill Monday as the DivaGals hit the Fox Upfront 2012, where we enjoyed a rousing performance by Ms. Mary J. Blige (a Diva in her own right!). But what really wanted to see was Fox’s offering of new shows. Here are the ones we definitely recommend checking out this fall.

Ben & Kate
WHAT IT’S ABOUT. Younger sister Kate may have always been the responsible one, but big bro Ben will finally step into his namesake when he moves in to help her raise her five-year-old daughter. Maybe.
WHY YOU’LL WATCH. Sibling stories are always hard to resist, especially when it’s this poignant and sincere. Nat Faxon, the brilliant screenwriter behind the Academy Award-winning The Descendents, plays just the right amount of naïve energy that will make us all wish we had a brother like that.

TV UPFRONTS 2012: NBC’s TV Shows to Watch!

InfamousNBC

NBC kicked off Upfronts this week presenting a boatload of new shows. Here are the ones we know you’ll want to watch this fall!

The New Normal (Tuesdays, 9:30 p.m.).
WHAT IT’S ABOUT. A gay couple desperate for a baby; their outspoken personal assistant who will be breaking out quotable one liners (yes, she is played by reality star-turned-legit actress NeNe Leakes); and one very sweet surrogate, who comes with a too cute preteen daughter and not so politically correct mother.
WHY YOU’LL WATCH. You’ll be all over this family unit from Glee creator Ryan Murphy, who always manages to brings topical issues to the forefront and make them irresistable to watch. NBC is calling this new sitcom “a post-modern family.” We’re calling it sincerely funny.

DIVAGALS DAILY DISH! TV Upfronts 2012: Bye-bye GCB, Hello Kevin Bacon!

6a00d8341c630a53ef0167666f9af5970b-600wi

Good and bad news for TV viewers. Touch moves to Friday and Glee is moving to Thursday nights. Next season look for film stars Sarah Jessica Parker and Kate Hudson to join the Glee cast in several episodes.

Kevin Bacon will headline The Following, a show touted to be the next 24. Bad news? Say goodbye to shows: The Ringer (aww), GCB (aww), Awake (ehh), CSI: Miami, A Gifted Man (yawn), Unforgettable (kept forgetting to tune in!), The River (a little too much like Lost) and The Missing (missed it every week!).

Sad News? Last seasons for our favorite comedy 30 Rock and our favorite sci-fi thriller Fringe
