Dylan McDermott

This year's seasoned Fashion Week vets like Ellen Pompeo and Angie Harmon got to rub elbows with some new faces as the event raged on in NYC yesterday and today. Eva Longoria went super sparkly for Michael Kors while Debra Messing looked chic posing with her man. After spending the days checking out the runways, celebs like Chace Crawford, Dylan McDermott, and Eliza Dushku hit up the party for the unveiling of Prada's flagship store. Wonder if these stars are developing new friendships after seeing so much of each other around Bryant Park for the week. We know that Fab and Bella probably wouldn't mind getting to spend some extra time with the few good looking men we've been seeing in the audiences.

Glamour magazine hosted a lunch in support of the 10th anniversary of V-Day. The cause is to raise awareness to stop violence against women and girls. These ladies who lunched looked amazing. Even in a plain simple LBD Katie Holmes looked sassy. Newly Engaged Ali Larter was bright and beautiful. Jessica Alba who has kept herself really busy during her pregnancy with a photoshoot earlier that day was accompanied by her fiance and baby daddy, Cash Warren who happened to be celebrating his birthday as well. Being surrounded by all these women must have been a great way to spend the day.

Home for the Holidays is not a feel-good holiday film. But the movie still is one of my favorite choices for post-pumpkin pie viewing on Thanksgiving Day. And the reason for that is simple: No matter how annoying, infuriating or downright dysfunctional your family may be, it's still hard to top the Larsons.

Here's an idea of what things are like for Claudia Larson (Holly Hunter), the main character of this 1995 Jodie Foster-directed film: In the movie's opening minutes, she loses her job, makes out with her soon-to-be ex-boss, and is informed that her teenage daughter plans to have sex — and that's before she gets on a plane to visit her severely screwed-up family in Baltimore. Once there, she's confronted by a whole slew of uncomfortable situations: sleeping in the room next to her chain-smoking, wig-wearing, hyper-critical mother (Anne Bancroft); being gently pushed toward a romance with her little brother's friend and business partner (Dylan McDermott); dealing with a sad-sack high school flame who's grown up into a sad-sack heater repairman who solemnly tells Claudia, "Well, merry Christmas, in case I never see you again."

What's great about Home for the Holidays is that it's neither too light nor too dark. It's wryly funny but mostly not goofy, save for a scene where a turkey goes flying into one Larson's lap. The characters are more fully drawn than in many family films: Yes, the Larsons are types, but they're not just "the gay brother" and "the quirky aunt," rather "the gay brother who takes Polaroids of his family naked" and "the quirky aunt who has 200 plants, gives away lamps, and makes necklaces out of Froot Loops." (Incidentally, Geraldine Chaplin deserves a medal for her portrayal of the latter.) And there are no deep, dark revelations or scenes that will leave you sobbing — just the slow, creeping realization that no matter how nutty your family may be, they're still the best thing you've got.

The networks have announced their fall schedules, but which of the series will actually be worth watching? Throughout the summer, as I watch the pilots, I'll be posting my first impressions. A lot can change before a show makes it to air, so these aren't comprehensive reviews, just quick thoughts on how the shows look now. Today's installment: ABC's "Big Shots."

What's it about? "Men are the new women" is the mantra of this "Sex and the City" for men, which traces the disastrous personal lives of four high-powered CEOs.

Who's in it? Michael Vartan, Dylan McDermott, Christopher Titus, Joshua Malina

The good: It's a strong cast filled with three TV powerhouses (Vartan, McDermott, Titus) as well as nerdy Malina, an Aaron Sorkin favorite. A show like this can live or die by the guys' chemistry, and they play off each other decently well in the pilot.

The bad: Everything else. The most commonly uttered phrase seemed in the pilot seemed to be "we're men" — in case we could forget. It's trite and dull, with stereotypical jokes about demanding women, sexual fetishes, marriage therapy, etc. Also, much as I love Malina, he seems utterly out of place as a powerful businessman.

Will I watch? I doubt it — and, furthermore, I don't think it's worthy of the post-"Grey's Anatomy" time slot.
