Jennifer Beals, known for her role as Bette Porter in Showtime’sThe L Word, has always been a straight ally to the LGBT community. So much so, that she recently showed her love by agreeing to auction off a custom made dress, and a handwritten acceptance speech to benefit the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), as well as her upcoming indie production Cinemanovel.

Fans of The L Word, Flashdance, awesome cop shows, or just all things Jennifer Beals; tonight is your lucky night. The brand new Fox show The Chicago Code, which promises action, drama, and powerful scripts, stars Bette Beals and the series premiere is tonight at 9/8C.

Fans looking to catch up with stars from The L Word can set their DVRs for Sept. 28 when Jennifer Beals returns to network television on Lie To Me.

 L Word star Jennifer Beals is set to return to the big screen opposite her former Devil in a Blue Dress costar Denzel Washington inThe Book of Eli. It's action thriller from Warner Brothers and Alcon Entertainment co-starring Gary Oldman and Mila Kunis. 

The L-Word’s Jennifer Beals plans to make her return to the big screen in the upcoming indie jazz film, The Lord of Vinyl.

For Jennifer Beals’ fans still mourning Fox’s axing The Chicago Code it’s great news that the actress who starred on that show and played power lesbian extraordinaire Bette Porter on The L Word for six seasons was back on the small screen Monday with the beginning of her two-episode arc on Castle.

For Jennifer Beals’ fans still mourning Fox’s axing The Chicago Code it’s great news that the actress who starred on that show and played power lesbian extraordinaire Bette Porter on The L Word for six seasons is headed back to television for a two-episode arc on Castle.

The Chicago Code, Fox’s crime drama starring former L Word actress Jennifer Beals, has been cancelled after just one season. Shawn Ryan, the show’s creator, tweeted about the cancellation on Tuesday saying “Fox suits loved the show, but have a business to run.”

There is a moment in just about every workday when we come across something sexy, gratuitous and completely pointless that we wish we could post but don't under the auspices of there being nothing lesbian about it and often there being no redeeming value. Today’s hump day shot is none other than the magnificent Ms. Jennifer Beals on the cover of MORE Magazine – and nothing says we want “more” better than the woman who embodied Bette Porter for six seasons of The L Word. Look for Jennifer as a bad-assed cop in The Chicago Code, costarring Brotherhood’s Jason Clarke.

"The L Word BOOK" is now available for order. The book is photographic journal by Jennifer Beals that takes us behind-the-scenes of the popular lesbian Showtime series. In the coming weeks, fans of the show will have an opportunity to be a part of the book by ordering a personalized version. The proceeds of the book and prints will go to several different charities. Check out the newly released photos here. 

Since The L Word bid its final farewell in March of 2009, its star Jennifer Beals has starred in the short-lived The Chicago Code, and signed on for CBS’s The Widow Detective, which appears to have been shelved. Now, the woman who embodied power lesbian extraordinaire Bette Porter for six seasons, has signed on for the pilot for the nighttime soap Venice (not to be confused with the lesbian-themed Crystal Chappell series) from The L Word helmer Ilene Chaiken.

Good news for Jennifer Beals fans! The L Word star has landed the female lead opposite Sex and the City and Parenthood’s John Corbett in the CBS drama with the rather unfortunate title Widow Detective.

The YouTube site WIGS announced that The L Word’s Jennifer Beals and Pretty Little Liars’Troian Bellisario are teaming up again for twelve new episodes of their webseries Lauren. Bellisario, better known to many as Spencer Hastings on PLL, plays the title character, a sergeant in the US Army, who makes the decision to report the fact that she had been raped by several male soldiers. Her testimony makes it all the way up her chain of command to Major Jo Stone, played by Beals, whose lack of support for her fellow female soldier is perpetuated by a broken system.
