Jessica Simpson Pregnant Again

Just 7 months after giving birth to baby Maxwell, Jessica Simpson is reportedly pregnant again. A rep for Jessica had “no comment” but it was a source close to the star who told about the baby news adding that Jess “really is overjoyed!” Now that baby No. 2 is on the way, all our “wedding watch” plans are being put on hold, seeing as Jess previously stated she didn’t want to walk down the aisle with a pregnant belly.


Dolly Parton: I'm not gay

Country queen Dolly Parton has laughed off rumors suggesting the singer is gay. The "Jolene" star admits she's more than aware of new reports questioning her friendship with longtime pal Judy Ogle, but she recently assured "Nightline" that she's not a lesbian. "Judy and I have been best friends since we were, like, in the third and fourth grade," she said. "We still just have a great friendship and relationship, and I love her as much as I love anybody in the whole world, but we're not romantically involved." The rumors have also apparently given the singer a taste of what it must be like to be Oprah Winfrey, who has been dogged by gay stories due to her relationship with best pal Gayle King for years. The country star, who has been married for over 40 years, adds, "[People] just think that you just can't be that close to somebody."

Angus T. Jones apologizes to colleagues
Teenage actor Angus T. Jones has apologized to his "Two and a Half Men" colleagues for publicly trashing the hit sitcom, labeling it "one of the most significant experiences" in his life. The 19-year-old has played Jon Cryer's onscreen son Jake Harper in the popular series since its launch in 2003 but has openly criticized the show, insisting that it's full of "filth." Jones revealed he had become more involved in his local church -- and the more he learns about his Christian faith, the more he despises his job. In a candid video for the Forerunner Christian Church, which has been posted online, Jones even pleaded with fans to quit watching the program for their own good. In his statement, Jones praises the executives behind the sitcom and apologized for any disrespect he may have caused them, insisting that being part of the show is a blessing. He says, "While I cannot address everything that has been said or right every misstatement or misunderstanding, there is one thing I want to make clear. Without qualification, I am grateful to and have the highest regard and respect for all of the wonderful people on 'Two and Half Men' with whom I have worked and over the past ten years who have become an extension of my family.  "Chuck Lorre (creator), Peter Roth (producer) and many others at Warner Bros. and CBS are responsible for what has been one of the most significant experiences in my life to date. I thank them for the opportunity they have given and continue to give me and the help and guidance I have and expect to continue to receive from them ...  "I apologize if my remarks reflect me showing indifference to and disrespect of my colleagues and a lack of appreciation of the extraordinary opportunity of which I have been blessed. I never intended that."

Patriots DE Cunningham suspended

The New England Patriots lost their second defensive end in nine days on Monday when Jermaine Cunningham was suspended for four games without pay for violating the NFL policy on performance-enhancing substances.

  What is it about Thanksgiving that puts the Simpson sisters in a breakup mood? In 2005, Jessica announced her split from Nick Lachey the day before the turkey was served. This Thanksgiving, Ashlee reportedly called it quits with actor Vincent Piazza after more than a year of togetherness.  Geographical incompatibility was blamed for the bust-up.  Simpson, 28, first stepped out with the "Boardwalk Empire" actor in June 2011, a few months after her two-year marriage to Pete Wentz fizzled (they have kept things amicable for the sake of their moniker-challenged 4-year-old son, Bronx Mowgli).

TV NEWS
Audra McDonald‘s Naomi is making one last house call. The actress, who left ABC’s Private Practice last season, will return for the series’ final episode in January


FX has ordered 13 additional episodes of both BrandX With Russell Brand and Totally Biased With W. Kamau Bell.

They may be two very different shows on two different networks but Comedy Central's breakout sketch comedy series "Key & Peele" and USA's sports-psychologist drama "Necessary Roughness" have both been renewed for third seasons.

 
Last week, ABC announced the mid-season cancellation of two of its highest-profile genre shows: 666 Park Avenue and Last Resort. Though their audiences are comparatively small, the fans of both series expressed their irritation and anger with the cancelations. With both series headed toward their final episodes, viewers of the two lame-duck offerings are no doubt wondering whether they should tune out now and spare themselves the inevitable disappointment. These viewers may want to continue watching: in what is no doubt a bittersweet consolation to fans, the creators of Last Resort and 666 Park Avenue have both announced that the shows’ finales will act as definitive endings, providing viewers with answers and a full sense of narrative closure.


Longtime Daily Show correspondent Wyatt Cenac is slated to depart the Comedy Central series at the end of the year.


Dominic Monaghan is taking a walk on the wild side.
The former Lost star has teamed up with BBC America for a new adventure/travel series, coming in January — Wild Things with Dominic Monaghan.


Well it looks like BBC’s fantasy drama Merlin will be magically disappearing after season 5 – just when the series was really starting to pick up. Merlin will conclude its epic five year journey this Christmas (in the UK) with a two-part series finale – which the cast promises will leave fans breathless.


Comedy Central has given its sketch comedy series Key & Peele a 13-episode Season 3 pickup.


Days of Our Lives vet Matt Cedeno has nabbed a recurring role on the upcoming Lifetime series Devious Maids.  The new drama from Desperate Housewives helmer Marc Cherry centers on four Beverly Hills-based housekeepers (played by Ana Ortiz, Dania Ramirez, Roselyn Sanchez and Judy Reyes) with big dreams of their own. Cedeno joins as a recording artist returning home after a long tour. Also boarding the sudser is Melinda Page Hamilton (Big Love), who will play a conniving housekeeper. Should Maids receive a second season order, both actors would be upped to series regulars.


Bravo has ordered a second season of Don’t Be Tardy…, the Real Housewives of Atlanta spinoff starring Kim Biermann. The cabler has also given the green light to two new series: Married to Medicine, which follows a group of female doctors, and Taking Atlanta, which centers on on young go-getters in the titular city.
