Morning Brew – Jillian Michaels gets nude for “Shape”

Good morning! Here’s a little #TBT with Anna Paquin and Ellen Page.

Anna Paquin is the only nude one on the cover of EW, for some reason.

Jillian Michaels gets a little bare herself in this month’s issue of Shape. I feel like I’ve seen her more naked in workout clothes.

Hannibal fans might find this funny. Creator Bryan Fuller explained the kinds of hilarious network notes they have gotten on the show.

“There was a quote in the book where a character describes his lesbian sister as a ‘muff diver,'” recalled Fuller. “The Standards and Practices chain of letters was hysterical, because I wrote, ‘I wanna use this quote from the book, which is ‘muff diver.’ We were told we can’t use muff diving or a bunch of other things I had never heard before. Anything that’s aurally implicated we can’t use. I asked, ‘What about button stitching?'”

Come to think of it, I don’t know that I’ve ever heard that phrase on network TV.

Out comic and writer Carol Leifer did a Reddit Q&A this week where she talked about writing for Modern Family:

…My episode was called “Two Monkeys and a Panda.” Mitch and Cam create a storybook for their adopted child, and that came from real life as my partner and I have an adopted son, and Jay and Gloria argue over where their final resting spot will be, in the ground or in a crypt, which is something that my partner and I have also bickered about, but the real genius of Modern Family is that Steve Levitan and Chris Lloyd, who are the Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld of Modern Family, also know how to service all of the characters where it feels equally distributed and everyone has a decent storyline.

A new study finds lesbians are pretty into e-cigarettes.

Sia will show her face while singing for one person: President Obama.

I can so see some of you using this: “Dating site fixes you up with ‘ex’ lookalikes.”

Got 20 minutes? Watch The Forgotten, a short film about “women, rape culture, religion, partriarcat, lesbophobia and a reminder of the lesbian community history.”

Best news! Afterlife with Archie is getting a lesbian couple! From LezGetReal:

We are first introduced to Ginger and Nancy as they have avoided the local Halloween Party and are at Pop Tate’s Diner. The two are having an argument regarding the fact that Ginger is tired of sneaking around and hiding the fact that the two are a couple. Their argument comes to an end when a zombie enters the diner and things go downhill rapidly.

Zombies always ruin such precious moments.

The Rappler has a lovely piece: “When two women are in love.”
