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.

DIVAGALS DAILY DISH: Drew Barrymore wedding and baby news

drew-barrymore-0904-ps01

Everyone sit your kids down and have “the special talk” with them … “Kids you know how when the ground hog sees his shadow and we get 6 more weeks of winter? Well yesterday the devil came up from hell and saw his shadow so we get 3 more years of the Kardashians aka reality show hell!” Don’t worry we are going to find a way to get through this together. Lets all go to our “happy place” away from the TV set … Yes the Kardashians signed a 3 year deal with E! … so we have more fake marriages, illegitimate children and countless tweet pics of Kim fawning over herself … thats it I am banning the E! channel from my set.

This makes us so sad … actor Martin Lawrence and his wife are divorcing!

This makes us smile … Drew Barrymore is having a baby girl and she’s planning a June wedding on June 2nd!

This makes us choose sides … Girl fight! … ok to be correct its a  “Long Island Girl fight”  starring Lindsay Lohan and Rosie O’Donnell … my money is on Lindsay since she survived a woman’s prison and several rehab stints.

Someone please remind Ashton and Mila that they are NOT dating … because they are spending waaayyy too much “quality” time together.

Not too much. Just more attention and recognition when I am in public.

Yes they are comfortable with it.

Has the show affected your dating life?

Not really, no serious attention. Just more cat calls.

He exudes confidence and has a great sense of humor without being cheesy or corny. I prefer Scruffy looking guys with tattoos. I have 12!

Would you like to have kids someday?

DivaGals Exclusive: True Blood Star Joe Manganiello Reveals All! Plus: Celeb Gossip from Duracell Launch!

DuracellINSIDERImages

The DivaGals loved meeting Olympian hopefuls at Duracell’s “Rely on Copper to Go for the Gold” launch event in New York City this week, but we couldn’t keep our eyes off of True Blood star Joe Manganiello.

Joe plays a werewolf on the sexy HBO vampire series. We were hungry to get the scoop on this ripped hunk, who was a theater major in college, but played football in high school. He works out two times a day: one session is cardio and the other is intense weights. Joe says his trainer is brutal. But those abs are so worth it! Joe is a big carnivore — he loves eating beef to pack in the protein.
