Happy Friday, ladies! This week is an automatic win thanks the L Word and the folks over at Showtime.

AE wrote a few articles on its return HERE and HERE, and I’ll share a few details about the sequel after the jump.

The L Word Is Back!

Props to Kate Moennig, Leisha Hailey, and Jennifer Beals for keeping this AMAZING news under wraps! Remember in May when fans were led to believe this whole thing was just a cast reunion? Talk about a major and fantastic plot twist!

According to Deadline, Kate, Leisha, and Jennifer will executive produce the show and they’ll also appear on the series. Although the ladies won’t be the focus of the sequel, their characters will act as a “bridge” to introduce the new characters. Characters from the original series are also expected to reappear, but the list of names has yet to be confirmed.

You guys, my mind is running wild with all the possibilities. I need this to happen now!

As for Ilene Chaiken, she’ll also come on as an executive producer, despite having minimal involvement due to her obligations as an executive producer on Empire. Given Chaiken’s time constraints, Showtime is looking for a writer and producer with ties to the lesbian community to get involved in the show.

Sarah Kate Ellis, GLAAD President and CEO, said of the sequel news:

“It is refreshing and exciting to see GLAAD Media Award-winning The L Word returning to television where it can tell nuanced, entertaining, and beautiful stories of an largely underrepresented community.”
Couldn’t have said it better myself! AE will definitely keep you posted as this all unfolds… and of course, there will be recaps.

Kristen Stewart & Stella Maxwell Were On The Same Flight As Robert Pattinson

Considering Kristen is the queen of awkwardness, it seems fitting that she recently found herself at the center of a very awkward situation. According to multiple reports, the actress and her girlfriend Stella Maxwell were on the same flight as her ex-boyfriend Robert. Although I don’t know where the plane departed from, I do know that it arrived in the international terminal of LAX (Los Angeles), which means the trio probably spent many uncomfortable hours together. Personally, I have so many questions about this story. Was awkward small talk exchanged? Did they totally avoid one another? Were they seated in the row next to each other or were they a few rows apart? Most importantly, what was the in-flight movie?

In all seriousness though, I bet it’s annoying for Kristen to be forever linked to an ex, especially since she has expressed frustration over this exact issue in the past. If I were in Kristen and Rob’s situation, I’d try to set up a joint interview to squash any lingering curiosity and questions. Twilight aside, I think there’s still fascination with their relationship because it ended so abruptly and amid a lot of public turmoil.

So, how do you think the exes handled the situation?

Charlize Theron “Loved” Playing A Bisexual Character In Atomic Blonde

As I reported earlier, Charlize’s Atomic Blonde character is bisexual. In the movie, Theron engages in a lot of sexy sexy times with her costar Sofia Boutella.

In an interview with Variety, the actress could not stop gushing about playing bisexual. Seriously, it’s the only thing she talked about in the entire interview. I guess the movie’s execs really want fans to know CHARLIZE HOOKS UP WITH A WOMAN. We get it, we get it.

On playing a bisexual:

I just loved it. For so many reasons: My frustration of how that community is represented in cinema, or lack thereof. And also, it made perfect sense. It just suited her. It just felt there was a way through that relationship and the fact that it was a same-sex relationship to show a woman not having to fall in love, which is one of those female tropes. ‘It’s a woman; she better fall in love – otherwise, she’s a whore!'”
On why Sofia was perfect for the role:
“It’s one of my most proudest parts of the development, when we came up with that. And then finding Sofia, that was a slam dunk. There’s something about her that’s so broken and vulnerable. It works.”
On why Atomic Blonde‘s sex scenes is better than those in James Bond:
“James Bond doesn’t have such hot you-know-what. I loved that we didn’t hide under the sheets.”

More Details About The Roseanne Revival Comes To Light

Photo: The Talk/YouTube

Roseanne fans, you’re going to want to pay attention to this! According to TV Line, lesbian producer and Roseanne alum Sara Gilbert has begun looking for a young actress and actor to play Darlene (Sara) and David’s (Johnny Galecki) kids. If you’re confused by this development, let me explain.

As diehard fans of the series already know, the 1997 finale of Roseanne had Darlene end up with Mark (Glenn Quinn) instead of David. In turn, David ended up with Darlene’s sister Becky (Sarah Chalke). The major twist revealed all of the events up to that point had been a figment of Roseanne’s imagination, so one could assume the revival decided to jump back into that alternate reality.

Per sources connected to the show, Darlene’s daughter Harris (who was born prematurely in season 9), will now be 14-years-old while her son will be 10. Apparently Harris will be an angsty teen, just like her mom Darlene was.

I’ll keep you posted as I get more info about the casting. I’m really curious to see how the showrunners will work around Galecki’s Big Bang Theory schedule and whether or not they’ll bring Dan (John Goodman) back from the dead.

Lesbian Filmaker Barbara Hammer Launches Lesbian Filmmaking Grant

The MoMa/YouTube

Lesbians supporting each other in the arts is always a good thing! Late last week, it was revealed the legendary lesbian filmmaker created an annual $5,000 grant to support lesbian directors. Teaming up with the the NYC-based non-profit Queer/Art, Hammer designed the The Barbara Hammer Lesbian Experimental Filmmaking Grant to give more opportunities to lesbian women that lack funding for their projects.

Barbara, who is 78-years-old, explained:

I want this grant to make it easier for lesbians of today. So you can make work that you want to make.”
Applications open AUGUST 1 and the grant will be awarded on December 4. Any stage of a project will be accepted as long as it falls within the experimental genre.

Summing up her intention for the grant, the Hammer added:

“It has been the goal of my life to put a lesbian lifestyle on the screen. Why? Because when I started I couldn’t find any.”

Ellen Page Has A New Girlfriend

Photo: Instagram

You guys, I just caught wind of this. On Thursday, the Daily Mail published photos of Ellen kissing someone who is not Samantha Thomas. I guess the two broke up at some point during the last six months? I genuinely had no idea, especially since Thomas posted a sweet birthday message for the lesbian actress back in February.

So, who’s Ellen’s new lady? Her name is Emma Portner and she’s a dancer. Although Page has posted about Portner on IG before (she’s also the dancer that appeared in the Britney Spears’ cover), the kissing finally confirms their relationship. Not to mention Portner started posting coupley snaps of the two as early as May 29.

As for Thomas, it looks like she’s just doing her own thing. Thomas last posted a picture of their dog Patters on June 28… maybe they have joint custody? Side note: does anyone out there have experience with pet custody following a breakup? Just curious.

Cara Delevingne Was Sober Throughout The Filming Of Valerian

Photo: EuropaCorp/Instagram

OK, so I guess I don’t have the self-discipline to be in an action movie…

In an interview with Access Hollywood, Cara revealed she was stone cold sober during the filming of Valerian. I imagine it was no easy feat considering the bisexual actress is often in situations where the drinks are flowing. Wrap parties? Check. Nights out on the town with your famous 20-something friends? Check. Comped drinks at fancy restaurants? Check.

Despite all the temptation, St. Vincent’s ex decided to go booze free for the sake of her character. When the interview pressed Cara for more info, she responded:

“It was more that the character I was playing… because she was so clear-headed and focused… I just wanted to be the same.”

So, has Delevingne had a drink since filming wrapped? Watch below to find out:
