Scandal superfan Lena Dunham is teaming up with the Gladiators.
The Girls creator/star will guest-star in a March episode of the ABC drama in a top-secret role.
Per EW.com, which first reported the news, Dunham’s character may have a connection to OPA.
Ready for more of today’s newsy nuggets? Well…
* Orphan Black‘s Season 3 premiere will air simultaneously on BBC America, AMC, IFC, SundanceTV and WE tv on April 18 at 10/9c.
* Tom Hanks will be the first guest on The Late Late Show With James Corden, which premieres March 23.
Oh please, isn’t it bad enough that Scandal is dealing with crazy story lines, now we have to get into celebrity guest-stars? Shonda, you are just killing this show!
Why is Orphan premiering on all of those channels at the same time? Its nice to have options, but seriously…….all of them?
It’s because AMC just bought BBC America this past year. They’re cross promoting the show because a lot of cable customers don’t have BBC America and OB is the best show on that network, at least IMHO.
But how is ABC going to get the FCC to let them show off Lena’s boobs?
Well, I didn’t really need another reason NOT to watch Scandal, but this would be high on the list.
I third all the Scandal hate. The show has become horrible garbage that I hope they can turn around fun very quickly. This isn’t doing that though.
And Orphan Black on several channels makes me happy.
Is she guest-starring as a woman who sexually abused her sister? …Oh wait, that’s something she did IN REAL LIFE.
thank you for saying this..it baffles me how she got away virtually scott free for her despicable actions. Oh the privilege of being…oh never mind. I guess this will just be one episode fo Scandal I won’t be watching.
The privilege of being a woman. Not sure if you were going to say “white” but many have made this into a race issue when it’s only about how society is very lenient on female sexual predators. Stephen Collins, a white man, admitted to being a sexual predator and immediately lost all of his current and upcoming jobs including a part on Scandal. Lena Dunham graphically details how she sexually and psychologically abused her little sister and she gets a pass from everyone in the industry including the show that fired a man for doing the same thing.
I can handle all the crazy off the wall things that happen in Scandal, but I absolutely despise Lena Dunham. I will not be tuning in for her episode(s).
I’m so excited. Lena is talanted and Scandal is awesome. CAN’T WAIT!
James Corden will do a great job as the new host of The Late Late Show with Tom Hanks as his very first guest come March 23rd.
Well it’s a good thing I stopped watching when it came back isn’t it? Gross gross gross.
Oh goodness me, not her! why her! Have we not suffered enough.
Because Lena Dunham hired Judy Smith as her PR-rep (and what else) in real life?
Omg! Great catch. I had totall forgotten about that. Great insight into how things work in Hoolyweird where promoting deviants is politically correct.
There is just something weird about the casting of Lena Dunham on Scandal. Hoping it’s not more than an episode.
EW. Please keep her away from shows I actually like.
Oh, and I have to say I am SO excited to see James Corden hosting the Late Late Show. I’ve loved him ever since discovering Gavin and Stacey years ago!
That’s great news. AMC has way more subscribers than BBCA, right?
Seriously? I know Shonda likes to be progressive and stuff but promoting a child-molester is a new low. This woman is gross. This may be the first episode I ever miss. Scandal is already pushing the envelope with their latest plot, they don’t need this eye sore to repel viewers.
Really Lisa Dunham? What to lure over the 7 addled viewers of Girls? Some one needs to start a trailer trash channel and have all these non funny d-list types like Ms, Dunham and Kathy Griffin so that all the ugly that oozes out of there brains can all be kept in one, closely guarded place. Then non-mutants will be free to channel surf and have no fear of seeing Lisa’s breasts yet again.
