Fancast: Inside TV

Yesterday, one of our colleagues in Fancast headquarters worked herself into a froth of anticipation while talking about the February 2 debut of Lipstick Jungle, NBC's sexy new drama based on Candace Bushnell's bestseller. It seemed like an excellent reason to point out that by clicking here, you can watch clips of Brooke Shields, Kim Raver and Lindsay Price in their roles as a movie exec, a magazine editor and a fashion designer, all best friends who are trying to balance work and their personal lives. If you missed that earlier prompt, you can find the same previews here.

Power babes Brooke Shields and Candace Bushnell have teamed up on Lipstick Jungle, NBC’s new series about three high-powered ladies who support each other through the thick and thin of life, marriage and career in NY. With estrogen poised to power the hour, we asked Shields and Bushnell what their favorite female-centric shows of all time were, and here's what they told us:

I Love Lucy
The Mary Tyler Moore Show
Sex and the City (“Of course,” said Bushnell)
Judging Amy
The Flying Nun (they mentioned this last one with a laugh)

Satisfy your curiosity about NBC's new series "Lipstick Jungle" by watching previews on Fancast. The show, based on the Candace Bushnell novel and starring Brooke Shields, Kim Raver and Lindsay Price, premieres this Thursday. It's a jungle out there, so watch accordingly on Fancast.

Too bad reviews have been abysmally bad for tonight's premiere of NBC's sexy new series Lipstick Jungle. We recently chated with three of Lipstick's stars and found Lindsay Price, Kim Raver, and Andrew McCarthy as personable as they are attractive.

Kim on her character Nico:
For me, with Nico I love that she’s not afraid to speak her mind. She’s unedited and she doesn’t apologize for who she is, which I think that’s, you know, a main key in who she is.

Lindsay on her character Victory:
I think the thing I like the most about Victory is that she is successful in the business
world but she doesn’t make any apologies for wearing her heart on her sleeve or being an emotional person, or maybe sometimes not being the most censored or reserved with what she has to say. She doesn’t make any apologies for her femininity also - being in a competitive, sort of cutthroat business.
