Monday link love: Blake’s no-longer Livelys, bad boy Captain Kirk & more

Trying out a little something here on the blog. I’d like to be aspirational and say I’ll try to do this three times a week, but I have a feeling I’ll be lucky to get a post up twice. So let’s go with Mondays and Thursdays and feel free to shame me when I fail!

  • Blake Lively is REALLY making a point to show that there’ll be no more asset flaunting now that she’s Mrs. Ryan Reynolds. (Lainey Gossip)
  • Star Trek Into Darkness is still two months away, but I’m totally digging the return of rebel Kirk (EW)
  • 15 Yemen Street, Yemen. Sometimes I wish I was at home watching endless hours of Friends reruns. (Vulture)
  • Speaking of 90’s sitcoms, are we really all Elaine Benes? (Buzzfeed)
  • I’m obsessed with these Hart of Dixie recaps and therefore rejoicing that it went up early this week. (Go Fug Yourself)
  • This girl is the best big sister in the world - after me of course. (Thought Catalog)
  • This is a little old, but still relevant if you’re a girl and wear makeup. (She Does The City)
  • Swoon, Aaron Tveit. Broadway stars always get me. (Buzzfeed)

How "Smash" Became TV's Biggest Train Wreck | BuzzFeed

popculturebrain:

Despite the exaggerated headline, this is a fascinating look behind the scenes of the show. For example…

“Spielberg loved the Ellis character,” said one source. And the actor? “Everyone wanted to recast him except for Theresa.”


I never 100% hate-watched Smash, because I’ve always been excited about musical theatre getting exposure in mainstream culture. Sure some of it was insane, but clearly there were a lot of problems behind the scene.

In short: I think it’s time for everyone to give Smash a second chance.
