Breaking news, as THR is reporting that ABC "has decided against picking up" struggling series—in decreasing order of belovedness—Pushing Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money, and Eli Stone. By not actually saying the word "canceled," the network leaves the door open to ordering future episodes, but THR puts the odds of that at "improbable." UPDATE: Scrubs lives.Still—you never know! Brooke Shields has chosen to go the full denial route with Lipstick Librarians, and it's been working out for her! (The studio custodians and security have been great about keeping up the charade that the show is still in production when she arrives on the lot every morning.) UPDATE: The network did pick up Scrubs, set to premiere in a one-hour episode on Jan. 6. WTF? They pluck Daisies but re-animate Scrubs? Why can't that show die? It's so irritating. And we're told that yes, Zach Braff comes with the package, for one final swansong season. [THR]

Professional Stepford wife Katie Holmes was once an actress, despite what the three-year gap in her IMDb profile may indicate (like America, we are choosing to forget about Mad Money). Somehow, though, the boyfriend jean advocate managed to sneak away from her duties as Ms. Kate Cruise to shoot an episode of Eli Stone airing October 21 — and a just-released clip shows a dancing, singing Holmes begging to be hit hard (perhaps that would explain those mysterious bruises?).Though we're excited for Holmes's return to television, our thoughts, as ever, turn to her husband Tom Cruise. Will he celebrate the Eli Stone premiere by driving his motorcycle into each and every Nielsen-equipped home, or will he force Holmes to run three consecutive marathons, then change into a stunning evening gown and heels for the first TiVo'd airing at Gold Base?

Katie Holmes debuted her new look for husband Tom Cruise while visiting the set of the ABC series Eli Stone. Holmes thought the look combined two of her favorite elements: high fashion and being a mom. Cruise nodded in agreement and also complimented her on taking him up on his recommendation to wear gloves while drinking coffee. Later on, Cruise was overheard warning Johnny Lee Miller that, "They don't put that warning label on the cup just for kicks, you know."
