I'm a little embarrassed to admit this, but I think I might potentially enjoy Lipstick Jungle. It's not th...
On last week's premiere episode of
Lipstick Jungle, fans got to know Movie exec Wendy Healy (
Brooke Shields), who does everything she can do to balance her career and family life. Viewers also got a glimpse of the free-spirited designer Victory Ford (
Lindsay Price), who aspires to make her dreams come true and find his ideal match along the way, and Nico Reilly (
Kim Raver), editor-in-chief of a hot fashion magazine who has her eye on becoming CEO.
In the second episode of the series, the
Jungle heats up as Lorraine Bracco guest stars as Janice Lasher, a spiteful book publisher with a grudge against Wendy and a tell-all manuscript by Wendy's former nanny. Janice is introduced in a plot involving Wendy's novel being submitted for publication, which is promoted by her nemesis in the form of Janice.
In a funny scene on a show that takes itself too seriously, Bracco delivers a witty remark when Wendy tries to persuade Janice not to publish the book. Wendy goes on and on about the trials of trying to balance the demands of being a movie mogul and a good mom. When she finishes spilling her guts, Janice waits a beat and says, "You must have me confused with your shrink."
According to Bracco, who is expected to be part of a two-episode story arc, she herself suggested that Janice should have a hard edge.
"When I spoke to [executive producer] Oliver [Goldstick] about creating Janice, I asked him to keep her a tough New Yorker. I said, 'Why can't this character be someone who went to Brooklyn College instead of [the other women on
Lipstick] who are very slick and fancy shmancy?' I wanted to be the 'jungle' in
Lipstick."
Lipstick Jungle airs tonight at 10/9c on NBC.
