Dear Naz,

Right from the opening moments of The Night Of, I’ve wanted to believe in your inherent goodness, to draw a correlation between your big, beautiful eyes and your inevitable innocence — and this week’s episode finally gave me a shred of hope.

Brought up in the wild excesses of New York's Chelsea Hotel, Gaby Hoffmann has never conformed. Now, after a decade-long disappearance, she's back as an indie film goddess – and star of Girls. In an interview first published in the New York Times, she talks to Taffy Brodesser-Akner

According to family legend, there was a snowstorm on the night in 1982 when Gabrielle Mary Antonia Hoffmann – Gaby – was taken home from the hospital to her mother's apartment at the Chelsea Hotel. Of course Hoffmann did not yet know she had been born into downtown New York artistic royalty. Her mother Viva (née Janet Sue Hoffmann) appeared in Andy Warhol's movies and lived at the Chelsea with Gaby's 11-year-old half-sister Alexandra, her daughter with ex-husband Michel Auder – the French video artist who later married the photographer Cindy Sherman. (Hoffmann's actual father was the actor Anthony Herrera.)

Her mother co-wrote a book, as yet unpublished,...

Official Press Release:

After scoring its most successful summer of original programming ever, including the launch of mega-hit Falling Skies, TNT is set to heat up the fall and winter with a terrific lineup of popular and acclaimed original series and a showcase of new original movies. The drama network’s slate includes the return of basic cable’s top two series of all time, The Closer, starring 2010 Emmy® winner Kyra Sedgwick, and Rizzoli & Isles, starring Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander; all-new episodes of the hit caper series Leverage, starring Timothy Hutton; and a new season of the critically acclaimed Southland.

TNT and TBS, which staged their Upfront presentation today in New York, are making bold moves to bolster their remarkably strong foundations in original programming. The networks are developing extensive new lineups of scripted and unscripted series and making a new push into half-hour comedy in partnership with some of the top talents in the industry, from award-winning actors to acclaimed producers, writers and best-selling authors.

This year marks the beginning of production of the final season of the blockbuster hit, The Closer, starring Emmy® winner Kyra Sedgwick. TNT confirmed today that it has ordered a 10-episode season of Major Crimes, a series set in the Los Angeles Police Department that promises to become television’s next great crime drama. The seventh and final season of The Closer will include 15 episodes in 2011 and six in summer 2012, leading into the launch of Major Crimes, starring Mary McDonnell (Battlestar Galactica). McDonnell has...

It looks like Andy Richter will be stepping from behind the podium on Conan to another podium (I am guessing) for a new game show on TBS entitled Pyramid. The show is reportedly a modern-day take on the iconic game show that began asThe $10,000 Pyramid.

I really enjoye watching Men of A Certain Age, and highly recommend it. The new shows don't really catch my interest yet, aside from Pyramid. Check out the full lineup below and share your thoughts on what shows you are most interested in seeing.

Betsey Johnson is entering the ranks of fashion designers turned top interior designers with her very first hotel collaboration. Johnson will help design an Eloise-inspired suite for the Plaza Hotel in New York.

The fictional subject of Kay Thompson's classic book "Eloise", and later of the "Eloise at the Plaza" movie, will inspire the room's design, which is set to feature the character's signature pink and black palette. The two-bedroom suite is said to feature even more surprises related to the character, a six-year-old who "moved into" the Plaza in 1955.

The room, geared toward both adults and children, will feature Johnson's unique, whimsical style to combine the worlds of the Plaza's well-known luxury and her own fashion-forward quirkiness.

"I'm tickled pink to be designing the Eloise Suite at the Plaza. When I recently moved uptown and my first granddaughter was born, I rediscovered Eloise and hoped that something magical...

Jeffrey Tambor and Christine Baranski will share the screen again in another adaptation of classic children's books -- the ABC telefilms Eloise at the Plaza and Eloise at Christmastime, based on Kay Thompson's famous tales. The two, who co-starred in the 2000 blockbuster Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas, are set to join Julie Andrews, who was previously cast to play Eloise's British nanny in the films that star newcomer Sofia Vassilieva as the mischievous 6-year-old who lives in New York's Plaza Hotel (HR 10/8). Kevin Lima is directing. In both movies, Tambor will play Plaza Hotel manager Mr. Salomone, an absolute perfectionist who hilariously clashes with Eloise's rampaging style. Baranski will play Helga, the event planner at the Plaza. While she will have a small appearance in Eloise at the Plaza, Helga will take central stage in Eloise at Christmastime, preparing for a high-society wedding Eloise is determined to disrupt.

Oscar, Golden Globe and Emmy-winning actress Julie Andrews has signed to star in the ABC telefilms Eloise at the Plaza and Eloise at Christmastime, the first screen adaptations of Kay Thompson's classic children's books, which are illustrated by Hilary Knight. Kevin Lima (102 Dalmatians) has come aboard to direct both films about the mischievous 6-year-old who lived at New York's Plaza Hotel. Andrews will play Nanny, the British guardian to Eloise. Nine-year-old newcomer Sofia Vassilieva (The Brady Bunch in the White House) has been cast in the title role in the films, which will be shot back-to-back starting next month in Toronto and New York.
