Fairytales Don't Last Forever

Didn't see this one coming. Bradley Whitford and Jane Kaczmarek just filed for divorce, according to People. They were married in 1992 and have 3 kids.


We contacted the manager who reps both Bradley and Jane -- she tells us, "We don't comment on the personal lives of our clients."

Matthew Perry -- The Friendly Tipper

TMZ has to make nice with a friend. Matthew Perry is not strapped for cash, even though "Studio 60" was canceled. Cameras caught the former "Friend" stuffing the pocket of a valet attendant last night! So there for you! We originally thought he didn't, but he did tip the valet.


Our camera spotted Perry leaving the opening of Hollywood nightspot, The Green Door, when he slyly handed his own green over to the attendant by slyly stuffing some money into his shirt.

The star appeared on the Forbes Top 100 Celebrity rich list in 2003, and earned a reported $1.6 million per episode during the final season of "Friends" in 2004. Perry also has residuals in perpetuity -- and a couple bucks for the valet.

NBC Sneak Peeks: "Heroes" and "Studio 60"

Which scenario is more unlikely -- a group of ordinary people who develop extraordinary powers, or two guys who turn around the ratings of a troubled late night TV comedy show?

Fantasy be damned! "Heroes" and "Studio 60" form one of our favorite blocks of TV on any night.

On tonight's "Heroes," everything leads up to Claire's homecoming dance. In an attempt to prevent his brother from being harmed, Nathan decides to destroy Isaac's missing cheerleader painting. Don't worry, the secret of the painting still gets revealed.

On "Studio 60," Matt (Matthew Perry) jokingly reveals his extraordinary powers by making Jordan's (Amanda Peet) cellphone ring on command. If only a wave of his hands could double the show's viewership -- now that would be powerful.

Check out "Heroes" and "Studio 60," beginning tonight at 9PM ET/PT on NBC.

Matthew Perry's Student Body Hookup

Matthew Perry and Lizzy CaplanIt's getting hot on the Warner lot! Well-placed sources tell TMZ that Matthew Perry has been romancing Lizzy Caplan of the new CBS show "The Class." We're told that although the two have only been coupling for a few weeks, the romance is definitely hot and heavy!

The former "Friend" met the hot "Mean Girls" starlet on the set as Perry's show, "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" shoots nearby. Our spies tell us the two visit each other's sets frequently, and are often seen canoodling.

The two have more in common than their studio location. "The Class" was created by David Crane, who was one of the executive producers of "Friends," and the couple was reportedly fixed up by Matt LeBlanc's rumored new squeeze (and former "Joey" co-star) Andrea Anders. Just to make things even more incestuously confusing, Anders now is a "Class" regular.

And in case you were wondering; Lizzy is 24 and Matthew is 37. Nice pull, Chandler. Could she BE any younger??

"Studio 60" -- Nevada Day, Part Two

That giant exhale you heard last Friday was all the "Studio 60" fans rejoicing after learning the show would be picked up for a full season.

Now we can enjoy the show in peace, without wondering what the show's fate will be.

Anyway, this week's episode picks up where last week's left off -- mainly with Jack and Danny trying to keep Simon and Tom out of jail. In a clip from tonight's episode, the judge (played by John Goodman) explains why he can't speed up a hearing for Tom Jeter (Nathan Corddry).

"Studio 60" airs tonight at 10PM ET/PT on NBC.

Nancy Grace Under Fire

Click to return to TMZ.comImpressionists have long been lampooning public figures like presidents, rock stars and actors. But it seems the latest target of flattery (isn't that what they say imitation is the sincerest form of?) is none other than Nancy Grace.

The acerbic talk show host and former prosecutor has been parodied on three different shows in just the past two weeks alone.

On Monday night's "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip," the biggest sketch of the night on the fictional show within a show was a Nancy Grace sketch in which Grace tried to get to the bottom of a shocking story ... about a college girl who lost her cell phone.

"Saturday Night Live" took a swipe at Grace in their October 7 show with a "Nancy Grace Show" sketch in which Grace probed deeper into the Mark Foley scandal -- while also trying to figure out who moved her chair.

Why Aren't You Watching "Studio 60"?

Dear TMZ readers,

We don't like to preach to you about what you should and shouldn't watch. Love "Dancing With the Stars"? Great. Hate "Grey's Anatomy"? We can forgive that. But you're not watching "Studio 60" and this has to stop. Starting tonight.

You don't need us to tell you how great it is -- every other TV critic has already done that. So, we're not sure what we can say to make you watch it. Um, you liked "The West Wing," right? Same writer. And we know you loved "Friends" -- this has Chandler!

In tonight's episode (10PM ET/PT on NBC), Harriet talks about God with a Vanity Fair reporter while Sting warms up in the background. Yes, that's right -- they've got Sting, too!

So, in closing, please watch "Studio 60." A world where "CSI: Miami" does double the viewership than "Studio 60" is not a world worth living in.

Thanks,

TMZ.com

The Most Anticipated Show Ever!

Ok, maybe we're exaggerating a little bit there -- but nonetheless, the much-hyped, overly-promoted (PerezHilton.com brought to you by "Studio 60"!) new NBC show "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" finally premieres tonight.

The hour-long drama, from "West Wing" creator Aaron Sorkin and starring "Friends" alum Matthew Perry, is about the behind-the-scenes happenings at a late-night sketch comedy show (think "Saturday Night Live," but not). The show also co-stars Bradley Whitford, Amanda Peet, D.L. Hughley, Sarah Paulson, Steven Weber and Timothy Busfield.

"Of course it's a challenge after the last show I did to change it up a little bit," Perry says. "I think this is different enough."

"Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" premieres tonight (finally!) on NBC 10PM ET/PT.

First Look: "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip"

Assuming you're not the type of person who downloads illegally posted television shows off of the Internet, this might be your first peek at the most-anticipated new show of the season, "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip."

"Studio 60" stars Matthew Perry, Bradley Whitford and Amanda Peet -- and, oh by the way, is created and written by "West Wing" messiah Aaron Sorkin. The show is a behind-the-scenes look at a fictional late night sketch comedy show on a fictional network.

In the premiere, the show's executive producer has a meltdown after a possibly controversial sketch is cut from the show. The new network entertainment chief (Peet) turns to former two former writers (Perry and Whitford) to come in and restore the show to glory.

In this clip, Matthew Perry storms in to meet with his new bosses and reveals a little too much information.

"Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" premieres September 18 at 10PM ET/PT.
