Lipstick Jungle: February 2008 Archives

Caught "Lipstick Jungle" last night and each week, I get more and more hooked. Brooke Shields' character is getting more hard-assed which I like. She's showing a bitchy and controlling side. Other thoughts: Andrew McCarthy's character has some kind of accent that I can't really figure out. What is he going for there?

The Kim Raver character is the most interesting with the young lover and her boring hubby who, I think, is sleeping with one of his students! But we know the best part of her storyline involves the young dude played by Robert Buckley (left). I think it's insane that he is suing her for sexual harassment one minute - which threatens her marriage and career - and by episode's end, she's getting ready to hook up with him again. I mean, he's mega-hot, but there are some things that are tough to overlook!

Well, he did drop the lawsuit!

Here's the deal: I don't have any use for ABC's "Cashmere Mafia" but I am getting pretty addicted to NBC's "Lipstick Jungle." As far as "Sex and the City" wannabes go, neither show comes close but "Lipstick" is the more entertaining of the two. And, who am I kidding? The hunky Robert Buckley having a shirtless scene in just about every episode so far. The good news is that NBC has ordered six more episodes of the show which brings its first season total to 13. Let's hope ratings are good enough toi warrant a second season. I love the leading ladies Brooke Shields, Kim Raver and Lyndsey Price and I love, love, love Andrew McCarthy's quirky billionaire character. He's still awfully cute after all these years...

Reader Brian informed me that my "Lipstick Jungle" crush Robert Buckley was previously on the My Network TV show "Fashion House" that starred Bo Derek and Morgan Fairchild. Robert played a photographer on the show.

Brian writes: "Trust me, the writers were smart to have Mr. Buckley without his shirt at least every week and sometimes every episode."

Let's hope the writers of NBC's "Lipstick Jungle" will feature Robert similarly each week!

I happened to catch the series premiere of "Lipstick Jungle" after taking a late afternoon nap and waking up too late to see a preview of the new Ryan Reynolds film "Definitely, Maybe." As disappointed as I was about Ryan, I found a new crush: Robert Buckley, the young stud who seduces the magazine editor played by Kim Raver.

IIt was steamy! He is not only good looking in that Scott Speedman sort of way, but he exudes charisma and has a killer body. And oh yeah, even though the reviews were unkind, I actually like the show and think it has potential to get better. Great to have Brooke Shields back on TV and next weekend, Lorraine Bracco will guest star - the first of several.

Queerty posted about Robert and additional photos as well!
