Full disclosure: I may work for the same company that is owned by MTV, but that doesn't mean I'll just watch anything they put on and give it a thumbs up. I haven't exactly given Jersey Shore the thumbs up for its portrayal of barsexuals and lesbian kisses. So when I tell you the network's new show Underemployed is really, really good, I hope you know that I am not being paid to say so.
So why aren't you watching it? I'm asking because I haven't noticed as much of an interest in it compared to the likes of Glee, Grey's Anatomy or Once Upon a Time, and that show doesn't even have any lesbian characters. I get that the first two have had a few seasons to build up a solid fanbase, but they also get a lot of flack for not being...

Meet Sophia. She’s a nice girl with a lot of spunk and wide-eyed optimism but she’s also a little shy on life experience, which makes the news that she’s a virgin a bit less of a surprise. And like the other characters in the new MTV series Underemployed, she’s also a twenty-something trying to figure out her place in life and that includes her sexuality.
Now, meet Michelle Ang, the New Zealand actress who plays Sophia. Ang has some interesting roles in her career prior to the new MTV series. She was in the final episodes of Xena: Warrior Princess opposite Lucy Lawless and she also played a lesbian on the teen drama series South Of Nowhere.

Producer Tim Baker shares his experience with an Aus/China co-prod at the Producer’s Guild of America conference in La.
Inspired by Cannes and other foreign producer’s markets, the PGA decided to launch its own international market so as to generate interest amongst its members in the funding and collaborative possibilities of international co-productions.
The second annual Producer’s Guild of America’s “Produced by Conference” took place June 4-6 at the Twentieth Century Fox studios in Los Angeles.
