Lipstick Jungle Junked?

Say it isn't so! They may as well just cancel it altogether.

NBC announced it was doing a re-shuffle and moving Lipstick Jungle to Friday nights. The cast, Brooke Shields, Kim Raver, Lindsay Price, Andrew McCarthy, & Robert Buckley, may just as well shuffle their way back to LA in time for pilot season.

It seems to me that for some reason, it is hard to capture an audience where the program deals with women, their careers, friendships, and love lives. Basically, Sex & the City for the modern generation. Teen soaps (One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl, 90210) flourish all over. Crime dramas (Law & Order, CSI, NCIS) keep being added. Medical shows (Grey's Anatomy, House, ER) remain high on the list. But Cashmere Mafia, Emily's Reasons Why Not, and possibly Lipstick Jungle are shows that if you blink, they're dunzo.

At least I still have How I Met Your Mother!

Brooke, Kim, And Lindsay Parking It Up

The three stars of NBC's Lipstick Jungle, Brooke Shields, Kim Raver, & Lindsay Price were @ James Walker Park in New York on Tuesday, where they were filming a scene.


Lipstick Jungle follows three best friends as they struggle with work and love all the while having each other to lean on.


Shields plays Wendy, head of a movie company (a la Sherry Lansing?) with a husband and two kids. Her daughter is growing up fast and naturally, they are butting heads. Oh, and she just got fired from her job for forging a signature on a medical report for a terminally ill friend she hired to play John Lennon but ultimately died on set.

Raver plays Nico, a magazine editor who recently lost her husband and discovered he had a girl on the side who is carrying his love child. She is cougar like, dating twenty six year old Kirby Atwood (Robert Buckley), whom she started shagging while her husband was still alive.

And then there's An-Li. Oh no, that was her character on All My Children. Janet? No, that was her 90210 character. Okay, I have it now; Victory Ford! Fashion designer who fell for rich dude Joe Bennett (Andrew McCarthy) but eventually put the kibosh on that. She is currently nuzzling her contractor, Rodrigo. Roar!

The scenes these three are best in are when they are together.

Lipstick Jungle, Baby

Wow! Now I can see why Cashmere Mafia was canceled and Lipstick Jungle was not. I love this show! I wonder how it's doing in the ratings?

That scene with Nico (Kim Raver) and Kirby (Robert Buckley) on the roof top was wow. And as cute as Joe (Andrew McCarthy) is, the contractor that Victory is crushing on is so hot.

And the fashion is wow as well. Kim Raver's blue blouse from last week? So, so nice. Lindsay Price sported two bags last night that were pretty pretty. She sure doesn't look like Janet from 90210 anymore. Ian Ziering? Andrew McCarthy? Ian Ziering? Hot contractor guy?

Oh, and Brooke Shields also had a storyline but it was boring. They better spice her up quick.

Lipstick Jungle Adds Las Vegas Alum

Nothing going on today. I have a headache and am having some people irritations this crazy, hella hot day.

Barack Obama is scheduled to formally accept his nomination and give his speech on this final night of the DNC. Jennifer Hudson, Bon Jovi, and Bruce Springsteen will be performing in Denver tonight.

And NBC's Lipstick Jungle, which stars Brooke Shields, Kim Raver, and Lindsay Price, will be adding a recurring character played by Vanessa Marcil to interact with Shields' TV husband, who's some sort of musician. Does this mean no return to General Hospital for Marcil?

I think I'll go buy a cherry slurpee. Wonder if Les will see me sneaking out.
