Here's a quick promo/teaser for the new Lifetime show Drop Dead Diva. As you know by now, it stars Margaret Cho along with Brooke Elliott and premieres Sunday, July 12 on Lifetime. The comedy-drama series will consist of 13 one-hour episodes. Mark your calendars!
Margaret Cho and Brooke Elliott will be joined on Drop Dead Diva by Rosie O'Donnell! What started as a guest spot appears to have turned into a regular role. The show premieres July 12 on Lifetime.
Access Hollywood chatted with Margaret and Rosie about the show.
Tonight Margaret Cho, Ian Harvie and Selene Luna take New Jersey by storm! They will hit the stage at Bergen Performing Arts Center in Englewood, NJ.
Margaret did an interview with NorthJersey.com to promote the event. In it, she discussed her television endeavors. I was bummed to read that "The Cho Show" will not return to VH1, but Margaret hopes to take it elsewhere.
Here's the scoop on Lifetime's "Drop Dead Diva," which is slated to hit the air in June:
“It’s about this really thin blond young beautiful model who dies and is reincarnated in the body of an overweight woman,” says Cho, who plays the loyal assistant to the latter (Brooke Elliott), a plus-size attorney. “Oh, my God, it’s all about body image, how we view ourselves and how that affects our self-esteem. I’ve always had a lot of issues around weight. I’ve always talked about it. People can really understand and relate to it.”
Happy New Year everyone! OK, obviously I have been slacking, but it's hard to top getting props from Margaret Cho on her blog. (Yes, I had to mention it again.) Check out all these goodies:
First of all, Lifetime has picked up the show Drop Dead Diva starring our own lovely and talented comic goddess. A few months back, Margaret had to rearrange a few live performances to shoot the pilot. The show also stars Broadway actress Brooke Elliott and is about "a shallow model-in-training who dies in a sudden accident only to find her soul resurfacing in the body of a brilliant, thoughtful and plus-size attorney." No word on who plays what role.
The comedic drama will air on Lifetime this summer! It will be great to see La Cho in a scripted show that sounds as if it will be quirky and unique. What's next, a SAG Award? An Emmy or a Golden Globe? The sky's the limit for our fearless gal!
Speaking of which, check out Margaret and Selene Luna in the new Coilhouse magazine. It looks like Selene is on the front cover and Margaret is on the back. If I didn't know better, I'd swear they are wearing the same hair! The photos are badass, and the birds look kind of ominous. Where the hell is Tippi Hedren?
Divalicious Selene appears in My Bloody Valentine 3D, which opens this weekend. It's the remake of a 1981 horror classic. You can catch it in 3D or traditional 2D.
If you love satire, you must see this hilarious Madonna & Lourdes sendup starring the multi-talented Selene as Lourdes. If the still shot doesn't kill you, the video will! It's just wrong... but oh so right!
