Seriously? OMG! WTF?

The low-rated talk show’s staff was told Wednesday that production would cease immediately. It will air through the end of January with a mix of originals and reruns, as had been scheduled. A spokesman for the syndicator said it would work with stations “on programming solutions,” which could include double runs of other fare such as Access Hollywood. Other syndicators are expected to jump into the fray quickly to capture as many vacant spots as possible in time for the February sweeps. In a statement, NBCU said, "We are very proud of the hard work and effort that our staff put into the production of this show. And our host, Megan Mullally, is truly one of the most talented people in our business. We are grateful to have partnered with her on the show and are appreciative for her tireless commitment, effort and dedication to this endeavor."

Did anyone think this was going to last? I am shocked it lasted this long.

The sun will set for the last time on THE O.C. when the series ends its four-season run Thursday, Feb. 22 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. The countdown has begun, with all-original episodes airing from Thursday, Jan. 4 through the last episode on Feb. 22. THE O.C. stars Peter Gallagher (Sandy Cohen), Kelly Rowan (Kirsten Cohen), Benjamin McKenzie (Ryan Atwood), Adam Brody (Seth Cohen), Melinda Clarke (Julie Cooper), Rachel Bilson (Summer Roberts), Autumn Reeser (Taylor Townsend) and Willa Holland (Autumn Reeser). Set in Orange County, California, THE O.C. premiered in August 2003. It follows a group of friends and families whose lives were changed by the arrival of an outsider – Ryan Atwood – to their ocean-side community of Newport Beach. THE O.C. revived the teen drama genre while including humorous and heartfelt adult storylines. Shortly after its summer premiere, THE O.C. was a pop culture phenomenon – its actors are household names and its indie music (and subsequent six soundtracks) and hip California wardrobe are sought-after in stores. The show’s Newport Beach locale also has become a popular tourist attraction as fans visit the real locations featured in their favorite episodes. "THE O.C. Season Four finale will also be the series finale. This feels like the best time to bring the show to its close,” said Josh Schwartz, creator and executive producer of THE O.C. “Thanks to the hard work of our cast, crew and writers, we have enjoyed our best season yet, and what better time to go out than creatively on top. It has been an amazing experience and a great run. For a certain audience, at a certain time, THE O.C. has meant something. For that we are grateful."

I never got this show, but I know there will be a lot of people mourning the death of this show.

Emilie de Ravin, who plays Claire Littleton on ABC’s "Lost," has separated from her husband after six months of marriage, her spokesman said Wednesday. The 25-year-old Australian actress and actor Josh Janowicz, also 25, were married in Melbourne in June, publicist Jeff Raymond said. It was the first marriage for both. They have no children. Besides "Lost," de Ravin’s credits include the horror film "The Hills Have Eyes" and TV’s "Roswell." Janowicz appeared on TV’s "Cold Case" and was the "hot priest" in the 2003 movie "Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle."

Wow that was a short marriage. 

Are Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz over? Could be. They reportedly didn’t spend Christmas together. He was in his hometown of Memphis, while Diaz was said to be skiing with her family in Vail, Colorado. Well, what about New Year’s? J.T. was at Kate Hudson’s party at her L.A.-area home. I just learned that Timberlake and Hudson left many with raised eyebrows because they appeared to be quite, um, chummy. "They were flirting and talking all night," a source tells me. At one point they were seen going upstairs together. "When Kate came back, she was wearing a different outfit," my source says. I’m told that as the party died down, Timberlake stayed put. "He didn’t look like he was going to be leaving anytime soon," my source says. Timberlake’s rep declined to comment. Hudson’s rep (who also reps Diaz) tells me, "He was one of many guests at the party. They are friends, nothing more." The rep declined comment on Diaz. "We have not commented on that. Will let you know if we do." Most recently, Hudson has been linked to Owen Wilson after separating from her rocker husband, Chris Robinson. As we all know, this isn’t the first time reports have surfaced about Diaz and Timberlake going their separate ways during their three-year romance. I’m told Diaz has never been too keen on Timberlake’s close relationship with ex-girlfriend Veronica Finn. She was in Memphis with J.T. for Christmas. She tells tonight’s E! News that she remains close to his family and that she and Timberlake did not spend any time alone during the holidays. "Veronica is around all the time," another source tells me. "Cameron gets crazy jealous."

I so doubt this rumor. In fact I think that Justin is still with Cameron, don’t you?
