Jennifer Beals, Isabella Rossellini, Sissy Spacek, Rachel Weisz, Kristen Stewart and Diablo Cody lead this installment of the Hollywood Trade Roundup, a collection of hotties making headlines in The Hollywood Reporter and Daily Variety.

I love Showtime. Not just because they're the network that brought lesbian audiences 'The L Word,' but also because in the wake of the Jennifer Beals, Kate Moennig starrer, two fine female-driven half-hours have taken its place.
And considering Showtime has green-lighted a third season for both 'Nurse Jackie' (Edie Falco) and 'United States of Tara' (Toni Collette), the strong women are resonating well with audiences - the pickups come just days after each show premiered its second season.

I know what you're thinking. We just had a Glee post the other day. But c'mon, you can't tell me that you're not like the rest of the masses here at SheWired — waiting anxiously for April 13 to roll around when Lea Michele and company return to Fox with the second half of their global singing phenomenon.

While I’ve been anxiously awaiting the “lesbian” story line on the CW’s '90210' for months, it’s only now starting to pay off and the wait — so far, anyway — hasn’t been worth it.

Amanda Seyfried appears to be this years "It" girl with outstanding roles in "Dear John," "Jennifer's Body" and on "Big Love," but the wide-eyed ingenue flexes her acting muscle playing a prostitute who insinuates herself into the lives of a married couple (Julianne Moore and Liam Neeson), and develops an obsession with the wife in Atom Egoyan's psycho-sexual study "Chloe." Seyfried talks about taking on the serious role of Chloe and on all those lesbian sex scenes she's been in this year.

Julie Benz is everywhere. The actress has been booking jobs left and right. The actress, who shortly after "Dexter" Season 4 finale aired booked a role as Robin, a lesbian stripper who hooks up with Dana Delany's Katherine on ABC’s "Desperate Housewives," said on the red carpet ahead of the panel that the two characters are different “in every single way.”

With Sunday's 82nd Annual Academy Awards quickly approaching, we here at SheWired thought it was time to share our excitement about "Hollywood's biggest night of the year" — and what we're looking forward to from the lovely leading ladies sent to face off as well as present come March 7. It's Meryl Streep v. Sandra Bullock, Carey Mulligan, Gabby Sidibe and Helen Mirren. Mo'Nique faces off with Anna Kendrick, Vera Farmiga, Penelope Cruz and Maggie Gyllenhaal. And will Kathryn Bigelow beat ex hubby James Cameron for Best Director?
