Debra Messing is returning to her TV roots on NBC.

In her new, still untitled sitcom she plays a laid-off CEO who is “as ill-prepared to be a full-time wife and mother as her husband is to provide for the family.”

Recession comedy, ya’ll.

Nothing funnier than not being able to make ends meet.

What.

Is.

She.

Wearing???

Debra Messing, who very publicly employs Rachel Zoe as her stylist, needs to take that skinny bitch over her knee and snap her in half.

How…

Why…

What…

We are at a loss.

There was so much ugliness going on as Debra left Beso restaurant last night, we don’t know where to begin.

Did she lose her dress on the way to dinner and have to make one out of her car seat?

We just pray that monstrosity is pleather and a poor cow didn’t have to die to make something that ugly.

Isla Fisher arrives at the premiere of her new film Confessions of a Shopaholic at the Ziegfeld Theater in New York City last night in a Matthew Williamson beaded minidress looking absolutely gorgeous.

She’s an amazing blend of Amy Adams and Debra Messing.

We love it.

After years of largely abandoning the “Chick Flick,” this summer Hollywood took a page from the Spice Girls and tried to imbue their offerings with Girl Power. Their sad, misguided efforts produced some of the most cloying, least-realistic portrayals of women ever seen on screen.

Classic musical Guys and Dolls is being revived on Broadway in 2009, after a 17-year hiatus.

Anne Hathaway (as Sarah Brown) and Debra Messing (as Miss Adelaide) have been tipped to take on lead roles in the new production. Great casting. They are both perfect!

The musical is based on Damon Runyon's book The Idyll of Miss Sarah Brown, which was made into a musical and a 1955 movie starring Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
