Say it ain't so, Sal!

Bryan Batt, who plays Salvatore Romano on Mad Men, has failed to have his contract renewed by AMC for the fourth season of the show.

Last season Batt's character, who is a closeted gay man, was fired from the advertising agency Sterling Cooper after a spurned gay client threatened to out him to his company.

He may play the unemotional, hyper-logical Dr. Spock, but Leonard Nimoy found himself constantly fighting back tears on the set of J.J. Abrams’ new Star Trek film.

Nimoy reprises his role of the iconic Vulcan and admits he was a blubbering mess as he watched characters from the original 1960s TV series meeting for the first time in the new prequel.

The scene he struggled with the most was when Captain Kirk, played by Chris Pine, met Karl Urban’s Dr. McCoy for the first time.

American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi says she might be leaving Idol after just one season.

“I’m only here for one season,” DioGuardi told TV Guide Magazine. “That’s what we’ve discussed. So we’ll see what happens.”

“My life has become extremely exciting and I am so excited for this opportunity,” she says. “I feel grateful to America that they let me grow and they let me find my groove on the show and that they were patient. And hopefully I haven’t disappointed them. It’s been a scary experience at times.”

Nicollette Sheridan got the boot from Desperate Housewives to save money.

That’s what the show’s creator Marc Cherry says, and it doesn’t get any more horse’s mouth than that.

Cherry says he was forced by ABC to cut costs, and that meant cutting Sheridan’s character Edie because her character had run its course.

Balthazar Getty wants everyone to know he’s not getting the boot from Brothers and Sisters and his castmates still love him like a brother. 

Uh, huh. Yeah, buddy, sell that to someone who’s buyin’.

Word on the street is, ever since Balthazar hooked up with stankho Sienna Miller, he’s done an outstanding job of alienating the show’s cast and crew.

We believe it. We can’t stand him anymore and we have the luxury of not having him in our face all day everyday.

Just when we decide we hate him, Balthazar Getty opens up about something so personal and intense, our heart begins to melt and we wonder if we’ve got him all wrong.

In the latest issue of TV Guide, Getty admits it wasn’t much of a stretch for him to play the anxious father of a sick infant as he does in next Sunday’s episode of Brothers and Sisters.  He just thought about his own harrowing memories of his daughter Grace’s fight for life.

It’s a dark day for Denise Richards; Charlie Sheen is now the highest paid actor on television, pocketing $825,000 per episode for his hit comedy Two and a Half Men, according to TV Guide. Sheen’s earnings include profits for ownership rights of the program. Coming in second is William Peterson on CSI with $600,000 per episode.

Are we the only one who thinks Two and a Half Men is one of the worst shows ever? Every time we see it we think two things:
1. We love Ducky.
2. This is one of the reasons people hate Americans.
