Ooh. Sucks to get fired and break up in the same week.
Lindsay Price, whom you may recognize from Lipstick Jungle, this season's Eastwick, or the short-lived NBC remake of Coupling, lost both her boyfriend, How I Met Your Mother's Josh Radnor, and her job this week when ABC execs announced they were shutting down Eastwick. The Wednesday-night show, based on the John Updike novel The Witches of Eastwick and the 1987 film starring Jack Nicholson, had been struggling to attract an audience.
Lindsay is fast turning into the 2000s version of famous showkillers Paula Marshall or Ted McGinley. The poor girl just can't seem … Read More
The picture-perfect family of today is full of non-traditional couples. And useful lessons!
We all remember growing up to Growing Pains and Family Ties, but so much has changed since the '80s and '90s. We were in need of a family sitcom that portrays life as we know it today. The new ABC series Modern Family does just that.
The mockumentary comedy (shot in a single-camera, Office style) explores the day-to-day stories of a same-sex couple, Mitchell and Cameron (Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet); a couple with three kids, Phil and Claire (Ty Burrell and Julie Bowen); and a multi-ethnic and generational-gap couple who are in both their second marriage, Jay and Gloria, played … Read More
Karina Smirnoff and Maksim Chmerkovskiy were the dance world's prime duo. Tweets explain the split.
The jig's up for Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff.
According to People, Karina's rep confirmed yesterday that the pair have called off their engagement.
Dancing With the Stars' Maks, 28, proposed to Karina, 31, in January of this year. The diamond appeared to end Maks' reputation as the show's untouchably macho stud and Karina's misfortune in love (remember her embarassing fling with dance partner Mario Lopez?). They began dating around this time last year, and Maks told reporters that he'd secretly loved Karina for a long time. For years she'd laughed off his advances but finally … Read More

Breaking up is hard to do, especially for the rich and famous.
Marriage is hard work, we know, but sometimes a couple can put everything they have into making their relationship work, and it still goes bad. And then it gets worse, when it comes time to divide up kids, pets, and that signed vintage copy of Thriller that you swear was originally yours. It turns out that Hollywood's famous faces really are just like us, as we’ve seen in the horrible mess Nas and Kelis have gotten themselves into. Famous people's divorces are nasty, mudslinging affairs, but damned entertaining ones.

Eddie Cibrian's wife Brandi Glanville has reportedly left over his repeated affair with LeAnn Rimes.
Remember the sweet and innocent LeAnn Rimes before the days of nose jobs, suing her parents and dancing on bars? The one who crooned "Blue" and "How Do I Live" and was treated like a little country-music princess prodigy by her parents and all of America? Based on a report from ABCNews.com, those days are over—but her torrid love affair with actor Eddie Cibrian is not. Cheating How-To: Tips From A Mistress
LeAnn Rimes as the other woman? Sounds like it. Eddie's wife Brandi Glanville has reportedly taken her two small children and left … Read More
We think it's time to retire "cougar" from our cultural vernacular.
You know, when we first heard that Courteney Cox had signed on to play a 40-year-old divorcée in ABC's Cougar Town we thought: "Hm. OK. Sounds a bit tired and generic, but nothing can top that mess Dirt."
In case you were reading War and Peace, Dirt was a horrendously written piece of garbage on FX where Cox tramps around like a young, virile Miranda Priestly working at a gossip magazine in L.A. Pretty people in paradise working at a glossy about pretty people in paradise. It sounds impossible to do, but somehow FX found a way to make … Read More
"What Would You Do," ABC's new reality show, pits old friends against a new boyfriend.
Have you seen this new show on ABC, What Would You Do? It's like Candid Camera or Punk'd, but more serious. The show puts people in morally ambiguous situations to see how they would react. Last night's episode featured Sherry, a woman who wants to marry new boyfriend Mark, a much younger man (she's older than his mother). The setting is a steakhouse where Sherry is introducing Mark to her friends. When Sherry leaves the room Mark reveals that he wants to get hitched for a green card, but he asks her friends not to tell. The … Read More
