When is a private eye parody not a parody? Stephen Frears’ first feature strikes a delicate balance — its nearly absurd hardboiled lingo outdoes the spoofs, but the story and characters are pitched 100% straight. Albert Finney Is Eddie Ginley, surrounded by a pack of exciting, imaginatively cast actors.

For those not watching The Carrie Diaries yet, you are missing much more than a look back at Carrie Bradshaw's high school days. As AnnaSophia Robb effortlessly confirms that she's the next big actress in television, and Austin Butler continues to give those repeat-worthy smirks, the two actors have managed to capture a relationship worth staying tuned for. On a recent visit to the shows New York set, Robb and Butler both broke down the Carrie and Sebastian relationship that fans have fallen for themselves.

"I think they have such a cute relationship," Robb admits. "You wouldn’t automatically put them together. Carrie seems kind of like the wound-up, neurotic, not nerdy, but studious type. She’s very driven. And Sebastian’s more that laid-back sort of bad boy. Opposites definitely do attract, but I...

It can be so hard to not compare everything about The Carrie Diaries to Sex and the City. For instance, on "Dangerous Territory," Carrie enters another world as she attends her first fancy Upper East Side dinner party.

How can I not automatically think back to when Carrie went to Big's friends stuffy party that only served clear food and drinks? It's good to know that even years later Carrie wasn't intimidated much by pretentious bitches.

As she told rehab Blythe, just because she's from the suburbs doesn't make her a loser, it just means that's where she lives.

I love how even in an uncomfortable situation, Carrie can always hold her own and stand her ground. It's like we saw when she went to the underground art party in "Read Before Use." Carrie speaks her mind, which is usually a good thing as long as she's not babbling. Babbling...

Sam Champion is a winner at the game of love. The Good Morning America weatherman tied the knot with artist partner Rubem Robierb at Champion's New York City apartment this afternoon, ABC News confirms. Robin Roberts, who's still recovering from a bone marrow transplant, read an Elizabeth Barrett Browning poem as part of the intimate ceremony, which was officiated by New York State Supreme Court Justice George Silver. Robierb's mother and sisters watched the nuptials from Brazil via Skype.

Exclusive: Taryn Manning (Hawaii Five-0) has been cast in a major 9-episode arc on Orange Is The New Black, Netflix’s new 13-episode hourlong series from Weeds creator Jenji Kohan. It centers on Piper (Taylor Schilling), an engaged Brooklynite whose decade-old relationship with a drug-runner (Laura Prepon) in college results in her arrest and multi-year detention in a federal penitentiary.
