Lena Dunham and boyfriend Jack Antonoff spent Independence Day with the Obamas…and a whole lot of other people invited to a holiday celebration on the White House lawn. It wasn’t all play and no work for Antonoff, who performed at the party with his band, Fun. Dunham, in blue shirt, red purse and white sunglasses,…
Buying underwear is so 2010. Lena Dunham’s found a better way: she gets them delivered for free. The writer/director/star of “Girls” confessed her hatred for the politically correct undergarment via Twitter, adding that HBO provides her with a pair every morning onset. Our costume dept has realized that if they want me in underwear they…

So just imagine what it can do for those whose lives are already more glitz-filled than yours. Kat Dennings looks quirky, Mark Zuckerberg shows off his dog, Amanda Bynes self-destructs, and Bar…
Earlier this month, HBO’s “Girls” ended its second season with Hannah Horvath (Lena Dunham) incapacitated by anxiety-induced Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, her ebook on the lost generation of 20-somethings looking more and more unlikely; I read the first few chapters of Phillip Lopate’s new book “To Show and to Tell: The Craft of Literary Nonfiction” and…
Last week I was marooned on my couch with a virus and finally watched the first season of “Girls,” Lena Dunham’s HBO drama about twentysomethings finding their way in New York City.
