The latest episode of Lipstick Jungle (and first on Fridays, so here it is if you missed it) brings our friends together for the big opening of Victory's store — which, naturally, threatens to become a disaster. Meanwhile, Wendy starts figuring out her post-Parador plans and Nico gets babies on the brain. To talk about it, just .

This week each of our main Lipstick Jungle characters messed around in someone else's business (or had someone else mess around in theirs). Victory's ex-assistant came back to make Victory's life miserable, Wendy tried to kick-start her husband's music career, and Nico and Kirby continued alternately embracing and stomping all over each other's hearts. And that was just the basics.
In this week's Lipstick Jungle, I really liked how the way the three women's stories tied into each other. Nico confiding in her friends about her affair (with handsome, handsome Kirby) set into motion several other threads for the rest of the characters: Wendy's worry about keeping her own marriage alive, Wendy and Nico's assumption that Victory can't understand their lives because she's not married, and Wendy's frustrations with Nico spilling into a conflict with Victory. Basically, their reactions felt more based in reality. 
Wow, Lipstick Jungle gets intense this week. There's another death — our second in three episodes! — and a hearty dose of workplace drama.

We're now two episodes in, and I've got to say I'm warming up to Lipstick Jungle a little more. I did find my attention drifting a couple of times, but... well... 
Last night the pilot of Lipstick Jungle aired on Living — that glossy New York setting felt oh so familiar but the faces (Brooke Shields, Kim Raver, Lindsay Price) were different. The series kicked off at New York fashion week, where — mostly — I wasn't really feeling Victory Ford's designs. And neither were the press. 
Tonight, Living brings us the UK premiere of a TV show based on a Candace Bushnell novel that's not Sex and The City. It's called Lipstick Jungle, and it's about three high-powered female executives juggling their careers and families in — where else? — New York. 
George Clooney was the last man standing from the Leatherheads cast, with neither Renee Zellweger nor John Krasinski showing their faces at a screening of the film in NYC last night. He did have the support of Bruce Willis, his close friend Ellen Barkin, and Julianna Margulies — which is a fun little treat for fans of old-school ER. Clooney looked like he was in good spirits as usual, but behind the scenes of his new movie, things have been less than perfect.

The celebrating kept going long after the premiere of 21 in NYC last night. Kate Bosworth ditched her blazer and got giggly with her friend Helena Christensen, while Mary-Kate Olsen was looking adorable in her shiny belted jumpsuit. Elle Macpherson was also in the house, celebrating her new gig as as the next spokesperson for Revlon.

Threesome? Yup. Lipstick Jungle reached the end of its first mini-season last night with an episode focused on threesomes — only one of which was the literal sort.
