*FILM: Before she was hooked on aerobics and uttering "cunt" on live TV, Jane Fonda had a memorable career as an actress. She won her first Oscar for playing "Bree," a whore, in Klute, a taut '70s thriller by Alan J. Pakula. Tonight's screening is a part of Cinewhores, brought to you by Whore! magazine and St. James Infirmary. A talk about the sex-selling business follows. Show starts tonight at Artists' Television Access. MUSIC:......

Local-TV Tivo alert! We've got some exciting news about everyone's favorite concerned local investigative reporter, Dan "My Rumpled Tie Says No But My Piercing Gaze Says Yes" Noyes. The next installment of his long-running Muni investigation airs tonight at 6pm on ABC-7, and it sounds like it's going to be awesome: after spending months pouring through Muni's complaint records (while simultaneously fighting off the drivers' union), Dan's I-Team has the goods on Muni's most......

The hilarious Eugene Mirman and Jon Benjamin are hosting SF Sketchfest's "Fresh Faces of Comedy" show on Sunday night at Mezzanine that we can't wait to check out. There will also be a short film contest with Jon Lehr of TBS's 10 Items or Less (he was also Geico's Caveman, whom he looks nothing like, BTW), which had us chuckling aloud the other night. "Five finalists will have their grocery-store themed films showcased and the......

-- Belle de jour (1967): Watch Catherine Deneuve turn into a whore while you, in turn, help to support some. A discussion will follow Luis Buñuel's housewife-cum-prostitute classic, and participants will receive gifts of sex toys. (Tee hee.) All of tonight's proceeds will go to support St. James Infirmary, a health and occupational injury clinic for sex workers. Screens tonight at 6:30 p.m. at Artists' Television Access; donation of $5-20. -- Merry Crassmas: This......

Omigod people! A genuine Christmas miracle happened on the latest "Project Runway"!? Didja see it? Wasn't it awesome? Let's discuss. So, on the previous episode of "Project Runway" we lost our last local, Chris March, when he created a "shoulder pads"-inspired jacket that would have made Joan Crawford cry. We were on the fence about continuing to cover the show, as the only local left, Jack, was really just a quasi-local, as he went to......

Sorry for the day late post, but it was a hectic weekend, and we just couldn't bear having to recount the tragedy that was this week's "Project Runway" without at least one good night's sleep behind us. Let's get this over with. Last week's pathetic challenge still hung in the air this week with the designers discussing Carmen's exit, and Chris proposing a "Project Runway" fragrance that would be a mixture of tears, sweat,......

Degrassi: The Next Generation is known for it accurate, yet sometimes vanilla portrayal of North American teenage life. Topics such as date rape, teen pregnancy, school violence, and inevitable cocaine abuse by wayward rockers are all fair game on this Canadian after-school-special-like teenage sitcom. Characters such as Manny, the school slut, Paige, the pig-faced "mean girl," and Marco, the Latino gay resonate with tweens and adults alike. One of the most unforgettable Degrassi characters is......

Previously on "Project Runway" the models were forced to kowtow to the fashion whims of a celebrity. Thank god THAT'S over with! Heidi walked on to the runway wearing Uhura's "Star Trek" uniform--seriously--and told the designers they weren't going to need their models for this week's challenge. Ru-roh! She then sent them all to 10 Rockefeller Plaza where they met Tim Gunn who introduced them all to Tiki Barber. Wait. Who? Tim went on......

Thank God. Really, thank you, God. Since it's next to impossible to remove producer and star Tyra Banks from America's Next Top Model -- we understand the difficulty in smiting a soul that clearly sprang forth from ninth circle of hell -- at least you have the mercy to replace the sweetly boring Twiggy with the exotic and more straight-heterosexual-male-friendly Paulina Porizkova.(Yay!) Now that the show has been reduced from a grotesque display of......

The loss of Simone in last week's episode of "Project Runway" leaves us with one local left to root for. (Although as Rita pointed out in her recap of the show, Jack went to U.C. Berkeley, so that kind of counts. But we'll see how well Chris does before we set our sights on him...) At the beginning of the episode we were put through the always boring selection-of-the-models ritual. This could be a......

The only locals we're following right now are on the fabulous "Project Runway," but after last week's episode, we're going to have to get rid of that 's' in "locals." Read on. The first local we met was Chris March, who once worked as the wig master for Beach Blanket Babylon and can make dresses out of salad ingredients. Seriously. We were then introduced to everyone else and it wasn't until all the designers......

If you're a fan of "Project Runway" you probably know that season four premieres tonight on Bravo at 10 p.m. (And if you're not a fan, what is wrong with you!) We'd be watching not matter what, but we are doubly excited about this season because there are two--TWO!--designers from San Francisco competing this time around. First off is Chris March who once worked on "Beach Blanket Babylon" as their "wig master," and now works......

It was Meet the Parents week on "The Bachelor" which is always good for a laugh. Or a cringe. And Brad's visit to Walnut Creek to meet Sheena's parents was mainly in the cringe-worthy department. The day started with Sheena's parents dragging her and her bachelor behind their boat in an inner tub. Which, you know, fine. Some people like that kind of thing. But then Sheena's mother started talking about astrology and the stars......

Last week on "The Bachelor," Sheena-From-Walnut-Creek was granted a coveted one-on-one date with Brad-the-Bachelor, and it turned out to be the Pretty Woman date in which Sheena got to choose her evening gown from a roomful of mannequins, ate dinner amongst balloons and a string symphony, and was given a pair of diamond earrings (which she got to keep). But the highlight of the evening, for us, was when Sheena walked down the stairs......

It appears to be bomb day here at the ole 'Fist as we have yet another bomb story to relate to y'all. This one involves a die-hard (seriously die-hard) Giants fan who called in bomb threats at Turner Field in Atlanta. ...

Mere days after the head of the environmental department broke with Aaron Peskin and other city leaders on a Public Utilities Commission policy, this week Peskin introduced a wee bit of legislation that would obliterated said department. Yoinks....

Let's start with "The Next Iron Chef." For the challenge ("Resourcefulness") the chefs were broken into teams by last week's winner Chris Cosentino, of local restaurant Incanto, and the teams then selected secret ingredients for their teammates. The challenge wasn't a team challenge, though, so there was much crying of "sabotage" when the chefs got to their outdoor, charcoal grill-equipped location and saw their ingredients. Chris made a juniper-smoked breast of squab marinated with sherry......

As previously noted, one of the best weekend guides in the city is produced by Muni and sent out exclusively to the press. (The PresidiGo, meanwhile, extends that courtesy to its riders.) So, what's on Muni's radar this weekend? Some kinda Nike thing! The "Fiesta on the Hill," which sounds like the name of a children's television program! The Portola Festival, which has been celebrated since 1909 according to this hideous webpage! And also,......

Looks like there's one more fall premiere to deal with tonight on CBS, and boy howdy, is it a doozy. It's called "Viva Laughlin," and it premieres at 10 p.m. before moving to its regular timeslot this Sunday at 8 p.m. If the idea of a drama that occasionally has its characters bursting into song immediately has you flashing back to painful memories of "Cop Rock," we wouldn't blame you. But remember that musical......

We lost a geek last week, but we still had a local bachelorette to root for along with a "dream date" to our fair city on "The Bachelor"! The first group date involved clowns, and was therefore instant fast-forward fodder for us, especially since it didn't involve Sheena. Some chick named Hillary won a one-on-one date with Brad and they took a private jet to San Francisco and had a fancy dinner in a private......

The remaining fall TV premieres are trickling in, with two bowing tonight. The first is another in a string of current shows to be set in our fair city. It's called "Women's Murder Club" and it premieres on ABC at 9 p.m. Has anyone seen Angie Harmon running around town sporting a badge? If not, it's probably because like so many other San Francisco shows, much of it is actually filmed elsewhere. Based on......

Leslie's on the HuffPo cheering on Dan Rather's $70 mil. lawsuit...

While the number of ladies on "The Bachelor" was cut down considerably at last week's rose ceremony, there are still way to many women to keep track of. Thankfully we only need to focus on Sheena, Queen of Walnut Creek. There was a bit of excitement in the house when some chick apparently fell down some stairs and Sheena found her and called the paramedics. Needless to say, she didn't go on the group......

Tonight's lone premiere is a show we have such little interest in we didn't even bother to check out the pilot when it was available for free online. It's called "Life is Wild" and it premieres at 8 p.m. on the CW. We really have nothing more to say about it, and in fact, the main purpose of this post is to make sure everyone knows about the premiere of "I Love New York 2"......

The season premiere of "Friday Night Lights" comes to NBC tonight at 9 p.m. and since it first aired we've hoped that it would eventually get moved to Fridays. Not because we think it's a particularly good night for the show (or any show, for that matter) but because we're slightly anal and it annoyed us that a show with "Friday Night" in the title did not, in fact, air on Friday nights. But......

We've mentioned before that the only "Law & Order" we watch is "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," and the main reason for that is our imaginary boyfriend Vincent D'Onofrio is on it. So you can imagine we were a little worried when the fate of the show was up in the air at the end of last season. It had something to do with the franchise not pulling in the numbers it used to,......

Tonight's big premiere is the quirky comedy "Pushing Daisies" which premieres at 8 p.m. on ABC. There are a lot of big names associated with this dramedy, including executive producer Bryan Fuller, whose previous shows include "Wonderfalls" and "Heroes." Director Barry Sonnenfeld also produces, and directed the pilot. Lee Pace stars as a piemaker who can bring the dead back to life if he touches them. Problem is, if he touches them again, they're......

OK, we're kind of loathe to even mention one of tonight's series premieres because it is that infamous sitcom that's based on a series of Geico commercials. We're speaking, of course, of "Cavemen", and it premieres on ABC at 8 p.m. Now, the last time a TV sitcom was based on a series of commercials, the result was "Baby Bob," so we can't blame people and their knee-jerk reactions to this. That trailer up......

Let's start with "Beauty and the Geek," and our rubberband-loving local Josh. Last week ended with the shocking addition of a new team featuring a male beauty and a female geek. First order of the night: pool party! And it was really boring! Let's move on to the challenge, which required the geeks to rap and the beauties to debate about current political topics. Apparently Josh's rap was so bad they didn't even bother......
