I think it is interesting that the show keeps casting all these actors from shows from the ’70s like Betty White.

I never watch what the critics watch, do you?

Onscreen lovebirds Rachel Bilson and Adam Brody, who play a cute couple on The O.C. and have also dated offscreen since 2004, have decided to call it quits. “They’ve been done for a few weeks,” a friend close to the couple tells Life & Style. “They are just done. That’s all there is to it. There’s no drama. They just ended it.” That may explain why Adam showed up solo to a party on Nov. 28 for the U.S. premiere of Volkswagen’s concept car Tiguan in LA. “He was definitely acting like a single guy,” an eyewitness tells Life & Style. According to nightlife insiders in LA, he’s been spending a lot of time without Rachel at the clubs with his guy friends. Reps for the two would not comment.

I guess as the show comes closer to an end they decided to do the same. Oh well.

With a movie role and a possible Super Bowl commercial from his “Dancing with the Stars” exposure, Jerry Springer will end his weekday radio show Friday after two years. “These things are not going to come around again, particularly at my age, so I might as well take advantage of them, ” said Springer, 62. The former Cincinnati mayor will fly to Los Angeles next week to film a Bud Light commercial which may air during the Super Bowl, he says. He recently taped a guest shot on ABC’s “George Lopez” sitcom, as a boyfriend for Lopez’s mother, and was asked to become a recurring character, he says. In February, he’ll play a rabbi in a feature film called “God Only Knows.” The offers came from Springer’s seven-week fall stint as the comic relief on TV’s most popular reality show. ABC viewers enjoyed his self-deprecating humor, which had not been seen often on his daytime “trash TV” show. The last original “Springer on the Radio” will be 9 a.m.-noon today on WSAI-AM (1360). Reruns will air through Friday for about two dozen affiliates, down from a peak of 53. Springer launched the national show from WCKY-AM (1530) in January 2005. It moved to weaker WSAI-AM in July. He has only broadcast once from Cincinnati since August, he said. “Radio is a full-time job, and I just couldn’t do it,” he said today from his Chicago TV studio. “I did one show in three months from Cincinnati. That’s absurd. That’s not fair.”

Good for him that he is getting all this work, he seems like a really good guy!!!

Law enforcement sources from the Beverly Hills Police Department tell TMZ "Prison Break" star Lane Garrison was behind the wheel when his SUV crashed into a tree, killing one of the occupants. The accident occurred Saturday night in Beverly Hills. Sources say one of the passengers, a 15-year-old girl, was in critical condition and has a relative who works for the city of Beverly Hills. One source says the 17-year-old boy who was killed went to the local high school which is presumably Beverly Hills High. We’re told Garrison was not arrested or booked after the accident. Typically, after a "K" car crash injury — police jargon when someone is killed — cops will ask the driver to submit to a voluntary blood-alcohol test.

Not looking good for him. I still want to know what a 26 year old man is doing with a 17 year old boy and 2 15 year old girls? BTW if you read his Wikipedia bio, you will see that he lived with Joe, Jessica and Ashlee Simpson when he was in Texas…wonder what they have to say about the crash?

UPDATE: People reports that he might’ve been drinking at the time of the crash. I wonder if the minors were drinking too?
