'New Girl' Season 2 Finale Recap: 'Elaine's Big Day'

May 16th, 2013 9:56am EDT
Elaine's Big Day
In the “New Girl” season finale, CeCe’s big day turned out to be an even bigger day for someone else. That, along with a few pranks, a frisky badger and the rise of a new love triangle, made for a satisfying end to a hilarious and upbeat sophomore season.

The day of CeCe’s wedding found Nick and Jess in a happy and joyous mood. The two spent much of their time flirting with one another, to the disproval of Jess’ dad (Rob Reiner) and the annoyance of the other roommates. Winston and Schmidt were particularly annoyed when a more grown-up Nick refused to take part in their silly hijinks, whic...

'New Girl' Recap: Romance Blooms On 'Winston's Birthday'

Winston's Birthday
Despite being titled “Winston’s Birthday,” the penultimate episode of the season had very little to do with the birthday boy. Instead the story focused on the romantic progress of three “New Girl” couples as the gang prepared to send CeCe down the aisle.

It didn’t look edible, but it’s the thought that counts, right? Unfortunately the considerate gesture went unnoticed by Jess as the morning after tu...

Fashion Fails: Pharrell's Whiteboard, Zoe Saldana's Future-Fail, More

May 4th, 2013 1:07pm EDT
Pharrell
It's Fashion Fail Time! That means we take a break from letting you know how good all of your favorite stars look to show the other side of fashion: the fails!

First up we have Pharrell Williams, wearing his best metropolis lumberjack outfit. If the light-wash jeans and butting his top button sans tie weren't bad enough, there's this really odd whiteboard section of his shirt that we just want to draw on. We're guessing it's emulating the front of a tuxedo, which makes it even worse given the rest of his outfit.

Zoe Saldana's outfit boldly goes where no one… really wants to go. The pi...
