Bing: More on 'The Real L Word'

The cutting-edge docu-series recently wrapped its third season on the premium cable network, and thanks to its success, Showtime executiveshave expressed interest in delving deeper into the lives of its stars.

During the Television Critics Association press tour on Saturday, Showtime entertainment president David Nevins said, "I want to change up the show and probably not continue it in exactly the same form. I've been ... exploring sort of 'L Word' culture, lesbian culture in places outside of New York and LA, places where the subculture is not so defined and it's maybe not so easy."

Hecontinued, "And I think we'll do a 'Real L Word' documentary. We did the scripted show, did an ensemble reality show, and now it's probably going to become a stand-alone documentary this year. But I think it's an important franchise for us. It could be one-part, be two parts. They're diving in doing research right now."

"The Real L Word" is a spin-off from Showtime's successful scripted drama "The L Word," which ended its six-season run in 2009. Network execs decided to continue the storylines but focused on featuring real women in the unscripted "The Real L Word" series.

The Golden Globe winner, who took home the Best Screenplay award for Django Unchained, dropped the vulgar N-word backstage in the press room! Do YOU think thats crossing the line?

QuentinTarantino is no stranger tocontroversy, and the Django Unchained writer and director definitely stirred up the drama backstage at the Golden Globes by saying the N-word in a room full of people.

The director has come under fire ever since Django Unchainedpremiered, with many people insisting that the 100-plus times the racial slur is uttered in the movie is unnecessary and over-the-top.

But Quentinbelieves its important factor in telling the slave-era story about hatred and intolerance, especially in the South. So when he tried to defend himself and his movie yet again against the vulgar word, he said it in the press room backstage at the Golden Globes.

The usually noisy and chaotic room fell silent after Quentinuttered the phrase, according the The Hollywood Reporter, with only audible gasps and shocked whistles from reporters in response. And the writer and director wasnt apologizing.

They think I should soften it, that I should lie, that I should massage. he said about critics who didnt think him using the slur so often in the film wasappropriate.I would never do that when it comes to my characters, he added.

The Hollywood Foreign Press didnt seem offended by Quentins controversial use of the N-word in his film Django Unchained he took home the Golden Globes for Best Screenplay, and actor Christoph Waltz won the award for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture for his role in the film.
