The “United States of Tara” is getting a new alter in the coming season. The character was revealed, sort of, at Showtime’s press tour sessions Saturday. A critic noticed that the “Tara” poster to the side of the stage featured an alter that didn’t look like one of Tara’s previously revealed alters. Creator Diablo Cody says the new alter’s name is Shoshanna, and she’ll be a “mentor” of sorts to Tara’s family. The character makes her first appearance in the season’s fourth episode, Cody says. Cody also says the new season will feature something called “co-consciousness” — in which Tara can communicate with an alter – and Tara moving in and out of her personalities more fluidly than she did last year. “Tara” is set to premiere March 22.

Golfing great Greg Norman will be honoured alongside Australian actors Simon Baker and Toni Collette at next week’s G’Day USA Australia Week black tie ball in Hollywood. The star-studded ball is the highlight of the two-week festival which will see events held in in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, San Diego and Palm Springs to promote all things Australian. The ball will be held on January 16.
