Remember when NBC hyped up “Smash” as though it could be their version of “Glee,” and one of the biggest TV hits of a generation? The show had a ton of promise, but there were some issues early on and the ratings were never what many hoped they would be. Still, the show did keep […]
Mrs. Carter: Is this story about Katharine McPhee really as scandalous as it seems?

However, […]
It looks like Megan Hilty does not have to sing the blues for very long about being unemployed at the Tony Awards when it comes to a TV gig as the former “Smash” star has a new role now, and it keeps her firmly on board with a man who was a part of the […]

The GLAAD Media Awards know how to throw a good party; while other awards only have one night to celebrate the best of their given field, the gay rights organization has three.
