What’s more distressing: (a) That in a last ditch effort to attract viewers to the sinking-ship we like to call HEROES, NBC emailed this TV Addict a photo of Hayden Panettiere’s Claire making-out with roommate Gretchen (Madeline Zima). Or (b) that said roommate is played by none other than THE NANNY’s youngest daughter Grace Sheffield, [...]

According to super-scooper Michael Ausiello (seriously people, how does he do it?) actress Helen Hunt really wasn’t that mad about taking over Maura Tierney’s role in PARENTHOOD.

Step #1: Develop a completely implausible and predictable storyline that has Barney brushing up on Robin Scherbatsky 101 with a little help from self-proclaimed expert, Professor Ted. Really? Barney really needs to [...]
