Paone and Michael Serrato, and Julie Goldman (a lesbian
stand up comic who also co-starred in The D Word).

No
word yet on the fate of the sitcom
Rosie's been developing for network TV, or how her mutiny
on the high seas is working out, but we're keeping
our fingers crossed for both.
ALL
ABOUT EVE
Last night on the UPN sitcom Eve,
Rita (Ali Landry, pictured, far left) ran into a fashion
buyer named Brenda (Lenise Sorén), whom it was
revealed she'd had a fling with a few years ago. To suck
up to Brenda and forestall Brenda's romantic overtures,
Rita pretended she was now dating Shelley (Eve). The usual
semi-comic hi jinks ensue as the three women attend a
lesbian party, and Shelley ends up fighting with Brenda
over Rita, because "I'm willing to be a lesbian,
but I'll be damned if I'm going to be a disrespected lesbian!"
and everyone learns a lesson about ethics and business.
The
acting was pretty bad, you could see many of the jokes
coming a mile away, and the character of Brenda was a
cross between a drag queen's idea of a lesbian and a really
bad Wendie Malick impersonation. But Rita's past lesbian
fling wasn't portrayed as a big deal, and there were a
few truly funny lines, including a reference to Sheryl
Swoopes. All in all, not bad.
Now
if only someone could explain to me why the show is named
"Eve", but Eve plays a character named Shelley...oh
wait, I forgot: I really don't care. Never mind!
