Lena Dunham Instagrams 'Girls' return date

17 hours ago

Rather than spread the news in an interview or through a press release, "Girls" creator Lena Dunham took to her Instagram account Wednesday to announce the return date for her acclaimed HBO dramedy. Along with the phrase "We're comin' right back #GIRLS," Dunham posted a selfie photo that reads "1/12/14 10 p.m. EST" scrawled (possibly in lipstick) on a mirror.

The show's third season has been highly anticipated for months, partially due to shake-ups within the cast. Christopher Abbott (who played Marnie's on-again, off-again love interest, Charlie) left the series back in April following creative struggles with Dunham. Michael Zegen ("Boardwalk Empire", "The Walking Dead") signed on back in June and — perhaps in response to criticism of the show's almost entirely white cast — Danielle Brooks ("Orange Is the New Black") will join the season as well. "I will be the first black woman to be on 'Girls,'" Brooks said in an interview with Ebony, "so that's exciting for me."

Despite its many controversies, "Girls" has earned consistently strong reviews in its first two seasons. The series earned five Emmy nominations at this year's ceremony, including nods for outstanding directing for a comedy series (for Dunham) and outstanding comedy series.

Though the show won't be back on TV until January, HBO recently gave fans a taste of the third season with this promotional teaser.

ITV Stock Hits Latest All-Time High as Analyst Touts Upside

LONDON – The stock of U.K. TV group ITV on Thursday set its latest all-time high after a bullish analyst report recommended it to investors.

Liberum Capital analyst Ian Whittaker raised his fair value target on the stock, whose possible further upside industry observers have been discussing in recent weeks.

ITV shares have had a strong run-up this year and have hit all-time highs as the company, led by CEO Adam Crozier, has continued to diversify its business beyond advertising revenue. The firm's growing TV production business is a key part of that trend.

ITV shares rose in early Thursday trading, going as high as $3.10 (1.93 pounds), a new all-time high.

While some analysts have said there might be limited further upside in ITV's stock, Whittaker on Thursday maintained his "buy" rating on it. He also raised his fair value target from $3.70 (2.30 pounds) to $4.10 (2.55 pounds).

"Feedback from the media buying space suggests increased momentum in U.K. TV advertising for the second half of 2013 and into 2014," the analyst wrote in a report. "We upgrade adjusted earnings per share forecasts by 5.5 percent for fiscal year 2014, respectively."

He also boosted his 2013 ITV TV ad growth forecast from 2.6 percent to 3.4 percent.

Next year, ad results should be boosted by the World Cup in Brazil and improving economic growth, Whittaker argued. "ITV is in an excellent position to take share," he wrote. "It will show the World Cup given its excellent ITV1 audience performance year-to-date and the weakness of main rival Channel 4."

In addition, "retransmission revenues offer substantial upside not reflected in forecasts," Whittaker said. He estimates ITV earnings could get a boost of around $160 million (£100 million) from retransmission payments from pay TV operators, which are only starting to emerge as a possible new revenue stream in the U.K.

Lenovo's convertible Yoga 2 Pro Ultrabook now available in the US, starts at $1,049

Many Ultrabook fans have pined for Lenovo's Yoga 2 Pro given its blend of a 3,200 x 1,800 display, long battery life and a slim profile. Those people can finally act on their impulses, as Lenovo has quietly started selling the 13-inch folding convertible. For the $1,049 base price, buyers get a silver gray variant with a Haswell-based 1.7GHz Core i3 processor, 4GB of RAM and a 128GB solid-state drive. An orange model normally costs $1,399 (currently $1,149), although that also includes a 1.6GHz Core i5, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. Be sure to shop around before you pick up the new system, however. Best Buy is currently selling an entry-level Yoga 2 Pro for $1,000, and there's a chance you'll find similar bargains elsewhere.
