Sarah Hyland, star of ABC sitcom Modern Family, has filed a restraining order against her ex-boyfriend, claiming that he was physically and verbally abusive to her and once threatened to set her house on fire.

Actress Maria Bello wrote the Modern Love column in today's New York Times, using her experience explaining to her twelve-year-old son Jackson that she is now dating a woman to let the rest of the world know that it's not a big deal.

Doug Sehorne, a hardcore King James Baptist Evangelist who describes himself as an "old-fashioned bible preacher," recently released his latest e-book entitled Bible Principles of Child Discipline from the Book of Proverbs).

We have now reached the stage in the Ariel Winter Emancipation Saga when squabbling begins about what exactly Winter's Modern Family coworkers knew of her allegedly abusive relationship with her mother.

So this is how we're going to tango.

TMZ is reporting that one of the teenage stars of Modern Family, Ariel Winter, was removed from her home by court order last month, amid allegations of parental abuse by her mother.

Sofía Vergara's ass cheeks made a bold leap for freedom last night, bursting through the back of her dress just before their minder was due onstage to accept an Emmy.

In response to a question about what constitutes must-watch TV for her, Ann Romney told Entertainment Tonight that ABC's Modern Family topped her list of highly anticipated TV shows.

On Wednesday, Forbes released its annual list of the 20 top-earning TV actresses. Modern Family's Sofia Vergara came in first. Who knew, right? Good for her.

Modern Family star Sofia Vergara stopped by the Late Show on Thursday to gloat to David Letterman about her show's big night at the Emmys.
