What are 'Orange is the New Black" Prison Stars Up To in New York
"Orange is the New Black" Season 2 is currently in production. The filming for season 2 has begun in New York and some of the stars of the Netflix's original hit series showed up at the New York Fashion Week and also attended the premiere of "Derek" in New York.
The Wall Street Journal spotted the famous female jailbirds and the prison administrator at Carmen Marc Valvo's runway. "Taryn Manning, who plays Tiffany "Pennsatucky" Doggett, sat in the front row alongside Jackie Cruz, the inmate known as Flaca, and Alysia Reiner, who plays prison administrator Natalie Figueroa," according to a report.
"Everything just looked so sexy," Cruz told The Wall Street Journal. Reiner added "He (fashion designer) had some really fresh concepts."
The cast of "Orange is the New Black" glammed-up and had a ball at the premiere of Ricky Gervais' series "Derek." Dascha Polanco, Lea Delaria, Matt McGorry, Lavene Cox and Uzo Aduba shed their orange prison jumpsuit to turn up at the premiere and they dazzled. Mail Online reports that "No one looked more different from their character than Uzo Aduba, who plays Crazy Eyes in the series.Gone was her trademark spiky deadlock hairdo, her slightly unhinged grin and, of course, her crazy eyes, instead the star was hard to not stare at for a whole list of other reasons."
The Hollywood Reporter reports that House of Cards' Sakina Jaffrey admitted to being "a bit starstruck by the cast of "Orange is the New Black."
Netflix's "Orange is the New Black" is based on Piper Kerman's memoir "Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison." Kerman's past catches-up with her -- when she had delivered a suitcase of drug money. She is convicted and sentenced to 15 months of prison time. In the Netflix's comedy-drama series, Chapman is convicted of carrying drug-money for her ex-girlfriend Alex Vause and gets a sentence of 15 months.
The second season of "Orange is the New Black" is slated to premiere sometime in 2014. The new season promises to be more engaging and deep.
