Say Goodbye to ‘Lipstick Jungle’ Tonight

Unless something unexpected happens in coming weeks, it looks like tonight’s episode of the NBC dramedy Lipstick Jungle will be the series’ last.
Called “Chapter Twenty: La Vie En Pose,” the main gimmick, if you will, of the installment is Nico’s appearance on the NBC morning program the Today Show, right alongside real later-hour hosts Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford, who play themselves. The visit results from the magazine editor’s attempt to polish her professional image, but it ends up impacting her personal life negatively.

Lipstick Jungle: ‘Chapter Seven: Carpe Threesome’ Season Finale (3-20-08)

We have come to the end of the road, Lipstick Jungle followers, at least the one that marks the show’s journey through its writers strike-shortened freshman season. Yet, thanks to the loyalty of so many women in highly desired advertising demographics, NBC has ordered additional episodes of the series for the future.
That’s exceptionally good news for fans and an accomplishment that Jungle’s ABC rival Cashmere Mafia can’t currently claim. So, who’s the winner in the Sex and the City knock-off war right now?
On the first-season finale “Chapter Seven: Carpe Threesome,” Wendy must cope with an irritating screenwriter, Nico …read more

Lipstick Jungle: ‘Chapter Six: Take the High Road’ Spoilers (3-13-08)

Well, well, well. The ladies are definitely aiming for mass appeal on “Chapter Six: Take the High Road,” the March 13th episode of Lipstick Jungle. What else could possibly be cooking when the plot revolves around none other than ultra, mega, super popular author J.K. Rowling? It would be too cool if the Harry Potter creator makes an actual appearance.
The events in question involve Wendy and Nico, both of whom are tapped by their mutual boss Hector to travel to Scotland to meet with Rowling. Believing her girlfriend doesn’t want to go, Nico asks her loverboy …read more

Goodness gracious, it’s about time!!!
On the March 6th episode of Lipstick Jungle, “Chapter Five: Dressed to Kill,” Victory finally realizes that her sneaky former assistant Reese stole her designs when she left to work for another designer. Seriously — how dense do you have to be to take that long to realize someone has removed invaluable property from your home?
Nico also rekindles her (sex) relationship with Kirby, and Wendy begins hyping a record demo featuring her husband Shane and his old band.
Writing of which, am I the only one who starts wishing Sci Fi Channel hadn’t up and canceled …read more

Lipstick Jungle: ‘Chapter Four: Bombay Highway’ Spoilers (2-28-08)

As if the title doesn’t give it away, the February 28th episode of Lipstick Jungle, “Chapter Four: Bombay Highway,” revolves around India, or rather Wendy’s desire to promote a film set there. To achieve that goal successfully, she even allows Victory to design the starring actress’ outfit.
On the Nico side, the magazine editor finally comes out to her friends and reveals her torrid sex, er, love affair with Kirby. There’s also something going on with a lawsuit. But, since we haven’t reached that point in the story yet, it’s best not to reveal what it concerns.
