The great child actress Michelle Trachtenberg died today, Feb. 26, 2025. This follows a liver transplant the actor received, along with several Instagram posts which had alarmed some friends and fans, with the images portraying an extremely gaunt Trachtenberg. As The New York Post writes, "Trachtenberg was found by her mother at around 8 a.m. Wednesday at One Columbus Place, a 51-story luxury apartment complex in Manhattan’s Central Park South neighborhood, the sources said [...] The NYPD confirmed Trachtenberg was found 'unconscious and unresponsive' by police and pronounced dead by Ems workers."

Trachtenberg, born on Oct. 11, 1985, began her career as a child actor, eventually joining a live-action Nickelodeon series, The Adventures of Pete & Pete, at the age of nine. That series began as little interstitial shorts in 1989, which became popular enough to warrant a handful of TV specials. Going from...

Zach Braff's Dr. John "Jd" Dorian and Sarah Chalke's Dr. Elliot Reid form Scrubs' most on-again/off-again romantic pairing, with their relationship going through many peaks and troughs throughout the medical sitcom's run. Their frustratingly sporadic dynamic spans all nine seasons of Scrubs, but the show confirms the status of their relationship just before it was canceled after Scrubs: Med School made too many drastic changes to the formula to maintain the sitcom's fan base. However, with a Scrubs revival on the way, it's about to be revealed what they have been up to since.

Although Scrubs is often overshadowed by its contemporaries, Jd and Elliot had one of the best will they/won't they romances on TV in the 2000s. At certain points, their relationship became a difficult one to root for, and there were even times when it felt like they would subvert expectations and never end up together.

The enigmatic Henrietta Lange is on the move, yet again — though not if Kilbride has anything to say about it! — in this exclusive sneak peek from NCIS: Los Angeles‘ Season 13 premiere.

He’s no womanizer like his Masters of Sex character Dr. Austin Langham, but Teddy Sears has had an appreciation for the female form for some time now—as long as there’s no food involved.

Sears admits he didn’t get what all the fuss over 9 1/2 Weeks’ iconic refrigerator scene was about: “That scene when all the foodstuffs come out? You lost me. That’s when I turned it off.” Then again, he was only 9 or 10 years old at the time.

It’s unlikely the same could be said of Langham if he had come of age during Kim Basinger’s controversy-stirring prime.

In the criminal justice system, it’s hard to resist casting Elisabeth Röhm as an assistant district attorney.

All the pilot casting that's fit to print:

Kiefer Sutherland has officially said "yes" to starring in Fox's drama pilot "Touch," from "Heroes" creator Tim Kring. Word that the "24" star was in talks for the project got out last week, but there was some question about when "Touch" would shoot since Sutherland is currently on Broadway in a revival of "That Championship Season." That's been cleared up: The pilot will likely shoot in early June, which means "Touch" would probably be in the mix for a midseason spot in 2011-12. [Hollywood Reporter]

Former Joss Whedon regular Alan Tudyk ("Firefly," "Dollhouse") has been banished to "Suburgatory." Tudyk will co-star in the ABC comedy pilot about a teenager (Jane Levy) who has to move from Manhattan to the 'burbs with her dad.

ABC's drama "Damage Control" -- formerly known as "In Crisis...

Lucy Liu may star in Lifetime's two-part miniseries "Marry Me" (Sunday and Monday, Dec. 12-13 at 9 p.m. Et) -- about a woman who receives three marriage proposals and has to pick her one Prince Charming -- but the actress hasn't really given her own wedding day much thought.

"It's not so much to me about the fairy tale wedding as it is about meeting the right person," she tells the press to promote her romantic comedy debut. "I think if you ended up wearing a paper bag and ate pizza for the reception, you wouldn't really care because you'd be so happy because you were with the right person."

That viewpoint plays out in "Marry Me" for Rae Ann Carter (Liu), a social worker who's ignored her dreams of becoming an artist and feels that it's time to settle down ... but not settle for less than the perfect person for her.

It's not difficult to imagine three men wanting to marry Lucy Liu.

The Emmy-nominated actress tries her hand at the romantic comedy with Lifetime's two-night event "Marry Me," airing Sunday, Dec. 12 and Monday, Dec. 13 at 9 p.m. Et each night.

In the lighthearted miniseries, Rae Ann Carter (Liu) doesn't want to settle for anything less than Prince Charming, but somehow lands herself three of them -- Luke (Steven Pasquale), Adam (Bobby Cannavale) and Harry (Enrique Murciano) -- and they all want to marry her. What's an attractive, yet hopelessly romantic girl to do?

In Zap2it's exclusive first-look clip above, we see Rae pretending not to agonize over the fact that Luke, whom she's only known a short time, hasn't called her when he's away on business. Her co-workers aren't exactly helping her state of mind, which is probably why she makes that fatal error at the end of the clip.

After an all-too-brief two season run on ABC, the network cancelled October Road. Viewers were left hanging with lots of unanswered questions. Will Hannah end up with "Big Cat" or Nick? Who is young Sam's father?

October Road follows Nick Garrett (Bryan Greenberg), an acclaimed writer who hits it big after writing a novel about his small town. When he develops writers block, he returns to face the family and friends he'd left behind. The ABC show also stars Laura Prepon, Brad William Henke, Geoff Stults, Tom Berenger, Jay Paulson, Evan Jones, Warren Christie, Slade Pearce, Odette Yustman, Rebecca Field, Jonathan Murphy, Lindy Booth, Elizabeth Bogush, and Penny Johnson.

Immediately after hearing of the show's cancellation, the show's creators -- Josh Appelbaum, Andre Nemec and Scott Rosenberg -- sat down and wrote a brief ending for Road. Appelbaum said, "It's sort of like therapy for us, but the most important...

For many viewers, one of the most heartbreaking cancellations of last season was that of the October Road TV show. Though the series had decent ratings in its first season, the viewership numbers declined in season two and ABC decided to pull the plug. As a result, loyal viewers were left hanging. Will we ever learn the identity of little Sam's papa?

October Road debuted on March 15, 2007 as a midseason replacement on ABC. The series centers around Nick Garrett (Bryan Greenberg), a writer who left his Massachusetts life behind to author a best-selling book about his hometown. After developing writer's block, he makes the hard choice to return home to face his family and friends. The Knights Ridge residents are played by actors like Laura Prepon, Brad William Henke, Geoff Stults, Tom Berenger, Jay Paulson, Evan Jones, Warren Christie, Slade Pearce, Odette Yustman, Rebecca Field, Jonathan Murphy, Lindy Booth, Elizabeth Bogush,...

Though October Road was cancelled last May, devoted viewers await news of the promised conclusion. Meanwhile, the show's writers are keeping the Road world alive.

ABC Family has greenlighted a half-hour comedy pilot tentatively titled Breadwinners from Gale Anne Hurd and Steve Tao. The single-camera project revolves around three friends -- Anne (Christina Chang), Elizabeth (Elizabeth Bogush) and Rebecca (Amy Laughlin) -- who are all successful women with high-paying careers who are dealing with the issue of whether a successful relationship is possible with men who make less than they do. Andrew Bowen and Jordan Belfi round out the cast as Anne's husband and Elizabeth's fiance, respectively.
