As you may know, Tiffani-Amber Thiessen (now just Tiffani Thiessen, I reckon) married a guy named Brady Smith in 2005 and now, according to LimeLife, is pregnant. In Hollyweird you're not really taken until you have a kid or have been together for 12 years, so this pregnancy thing is pretty devastating to a lot of us. The news has me recalling my various TV crushes and what they taught me. Here they are in chronological order:

I'm 9 and she's Danica McKellar. My feelings about The Wonder Years' Winnie Cooper are known. When I was a boy, … Read More

The jig is up. Belle de Jour, the former prostitute behind the popular column "Diary of a London Call Girl" and TV series "Secret Diary of a Call Girl" is really British research scientist Dr. Brooke Magnanti, 34. Dr. Magnanti gave the oldest reason for turning to the oldest profession -- to pay for her PhD.  Lemondrop: Text Message Analysis Leads to PhD

She came forward now allegedly out of fear that an ex-boyfriend might out her. Not even her literary agent knew who she really was.

"It was time. I've felt so much guardedness and paranoia about remaining anonymous recently," … Read More

We've been fans of J.J. Abrams since Felicity. Since then, he's written and produced Alias, Lost, and now, Fringe. While the last three have been or currently are dramas, they've all had a hint of romance. And good ones, at that. This time around, J.J. doesn't disappoint.
 
Presenting: Our Argument in Favor of Fringe. If you haven't checked it out, do so, even if you're not a sci-fi fan. The characters and relationship between main character Agent Olivia Dunham and Peter Bishop are enough to sustain an apathetic science-fiction fan. 
 
While Dunham is played by the lesser known Anna Torv, Peter Bishop … Read More

We cannot get over the Mad Men season 3 series finale. Thought #1: Best show on TV since Six Feet Under. Thought #2: WTF, Betty Draper? Thought #3: Why are we rooting for the cheat-bag Don Draper anyway?
 
Now, we know. We know that it's about time that Betty stand up for herself. The character's ability to make you love and loathe her simultaneously is a gift from the writers. (And unfortunately, not the actor, January Jones. Pretty girl, but we hear Jon Hamm hates working with her…He totally carries every scene. But anyway…) Ex Ashton Told January Jones To Quit … Read More

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

Sad news coming from Atlanta this weekend. A.J. Jewell, familiar to fans of the Bravo series The Real Housewives of Atlanta, died early Saturday morning of massive head injuries.

Jewell was the ex-fiance of the newest Housewife, Grammy-winning songwriter Kandi Burruss. The drama from their engagement, real and imagined, had been the focus of many of this season's episodes. Kandi revealed to Essence.com in early September that the couple were on 'hiatus' and that she had become legal guardian to his 12-year-old twin daughters.

Sources say Jewell was fatally injured after getting in a fight with an employee, Fredrick Richardson, of … Read More

If we consider Jennifer Hudson, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze's clock, it's getting easier and easier for stars to keep their babies' births a secret.

However Ellen Pompeo may be the winner. She kept the birth of daughter Stella Luna a secret for approximately eight whole days after her birth. Stella Luna, which translates to "Star Moon" in Italian (Pompeo's heritage) took the last name Pompeo Ivery after both Mom and Dad.

Pompeo, 39, announced her pregnancy last April when she would have been nearly four months along. She and 41-year-old husband Chris Ivery, a music producer, … Read More

The Good Wife premiered last night on CBS, and we were finally able to see what all those billboards, magazine and subway ads were all about. Turns out the show isn't half bad.

As advertised, the show is about Alicia Florrick, the wife (Julianna Margulies) of corrupt politician Peter Florrick (Mr. Big… I mean, Chris Noth). The opening scene shows the bad boy admitting his mistakes and apologizing at a press conference. As he finishes his speech his wife reaches for his hand. Afterwards, away from the cameras, she slaps him.

Fast forward six months, and Mr. Corruption is in jail, so … Read More

The Jennifer Aniston romance rumor mill never ceases to amaze us.

OK Magazine has just issued a report that Jennifer Aniston is expecting a baby. Her relationship with Gerard Butler has kept us guessing all summer (and that's how she wants it, by the way), but now photos have emerged of what Hollywood has officially and affectionately termed a "baby bump" (which is gestating into a cliche that is wearing on our nerves).

The 40-year-old actress has voiced time and again that she wants to be a mom. The desire grew especially vocal after … Read More

HBO's smash hit Entourage is an illustration of many things: a celeb-obsessed culture, boys-will-be-boys Peter Pan-ism, conspicuous consumption, a consequence-free hook-up atmosphere and me-too voyeurism… but it also provides a few lessons to be learned. The show, loosely based on Mark Wahlberg's rise to fame in Hollywood, isn't all fast cars, fellatio and fart jokes. The bromance between Vince, Eric, Johnny Drama, Turtle and Ari provides the show's spine but romance pokes its head in there a time or two as well.

Here's what the crew has taught us about relationships:

1. Be careful when you kiss and tell. As … Read More
