Christine Lakin, who played Paris Hilton's BFF in The Hottie and the Nottie isn't in need of a drastic makeover these days. On Valentine, the perky actress plays romance novel writer Kate Providence, a woman so conversant with love that she consults for Valentine, Inc., a company of Greek gods that connect soul mates.

There are several things to recommend about NBC's new series My Own Worst Enemy: Christian Slater proves himself a very capable TV star, the supporting cast is solid, the pace is quick and the visuals high-quality. It's also saddled with what feels like the most needlessly overcomplicated back story to come along since Sydney Bristow was working for SD-6.

Continuing Molly Kagan's story from a miniseries into the series The Starter Wife means that some actors have moved on and thus some characters such as Cricket (Miranda Otto) and hottie Sam (Stephen Moyer) won't return.

Debra Messing, like the Virgin Queen Elizabeth she portrays in the opening fantasy sequence of The Starter Wife, holds court among the gathered reporters on a sunny September day in Los Angeles. She's not quite as elaborately styled -- opting for slacks, a sleeveless green blouse, chunky jewelry and an artfully messy ponytail -- but she still commands attention.

If you're going to remake a show that was a big hit in another country and has a cult following in this one, it probably helps to have fans of the original at the helm. Such is the case with Life on Mars.
by Rick Porter

I'd wager that about 90 percent, maybe more, of the audience for ABC's Life on Mars premiere Thursday will be people who've never seen the British show on which it's based. But either way, viewers shouldn't be disappointed.
