First Look: Coco Chanel on Lifetime

BuzzSugar — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 15:39:07 -0700

With the fashion world abuzz at New York Fashion Week right now, it seems an apt time for Lifetime to premiere its look at the life of one of fashion's true icons: Coco Chanel. Coco Chanel stars Shirley MacLaine as the legendary designer (and Barbora Bobulova as the young Coco) who began life in a French orphanage and worked her way up through the fashion world, ultimately bringing us classic suits, the little black dress, and a perfume that's endured for decades.

Lifetime calls Chanel "a glamorous woman who was hard to love and harder to ignore," and that comes through in this trailer. Yes, there's the obligatory breathless "fashion! is! my! life!" declaration, but there are also some great scenes of MacLaine's Coco berating a woman for wearing a subpar outfit and literally ripping the skirt off her body. Oh, if only she could bring her sharp tongue to the Project Runway stage!

The movie premieres this Saturday, Sept. 13, at 8 p.m. To watch the trailer, read more.

Biggest Victim of the Project Runway Debacle: Meredith Baxter

BuzzSugar — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 15:33:28 -0700

OK, so Lifetime doesn't have the greatest reputation. Sure, it's still better known for its women-in-crisis movies than, say, the pretty awesome Army Wives. But can we please stop blaming poor Meredith Baxter (Birney) for the network's less-than-stellar cred?

Ever since Project Runway announced it was leaving Bravo for Lifetime, writers have been searching for just the right phrase to explain Lifetime's image. And so many of them have come back to our poor ex-Elyse Keaton. Witness:

This one, calling Lifetime "the 'No. 1 network for women' and made-for-television movies starring Meredith Baxter Birney."

This one, stating that when most people think of the network, they think of "melodramatic made-for-television movies starring Meredith Baxter."
And this one, which argues that Runway-loving guys are going to have a hard time claiming they just stumbled upon the show because "the only other options on Lifetime are Meredith Baxter TV movies and Your Mama Don't Dance."

Yeah, so Baxter has done . . . let's see . . . a couple of dozen TV movies since Family Ties ended. Sure, she's played every kind of woman-in-distress under the sun. But it's not her fault that she's everyone's first thought when they need a woman to victimize (but always have come out on top). And hey, Dana Delaney was in those shoes once too, and she's real TV again now!

Maybe all this name recognition just means there's something great coming around the corner for Baxter - better, anyway, than being the sole face of "television for women." Right? Who's with me?
