Esposito, who suffers from autoimmune disorder Celiac Disease, called on her doctor to write to producers explaining why she needed a break, but they allegedly refused to back down, and her character was written out of the show last month.

Who Aced The 2010-11 TV Season? (Hint: It's Not NBC)
The 2010-2011 TV season is officially over. The ratings are in. If there is one surprise, it’s that last year’s top five shows were all up in viewers this year. With hefty viewer erosion in recent years, that’s nothing short of a miracle.
Most other veteran shows, however, saw a drop-off in viewers. There are some exceptions, however, such as ‘Modern Family,’ which saw very healthy ratings in its second year, particularly in the 18-49 demo.
The stats didn’t change much from last year. CBS won the season in total viewers with 11.6 million. It’s the eighth time in nine years the netwo...

Magnum P.I.-turned-NYPD Commissioner Tom Selleck tops the list of cops, but CBS' rookie hit has also gotten Donnie Wahlberg — who traded NKOTB for the LAPD in NBC's underrated 2002-2003 crime drama Boomtown — back on the beat as his son, hotshot detective Danny Reagan.

Fall TV: What's Surviving, What's Thriving, And What's Dying
We've reached a breaking point in the Fall TV season: almost everything that's still around will likely survive the season (key word: almost). It's becoming clearer which new shows are hits (hint: not many), and there are already several casualties. Let's run down the list.
The already renewed
CBS has picked up all five of their new shows: 'Hawaii Five-O,' 'Mike & Molly,' '@#$% My Dad Says,' 'Blue Bloods' and 'The Defenders.' Each show has performed admirably, but none can be called a runaway hit. CBS, though, has the least holes in its schedule and can be proud that viewership is up ...

Bridget Moynahan Dating McG
Actress Bridget Moynahan has struck up a new Hollywood romance after reportedly finding love with director McG.
The I, Robot star has previously dated screenwriter Scott Rosenberg and has a three-year-old son with football God Tom Brady, born after they split and he had become involved with his now-wife Gisele Bundchen.
Moynahan sparked rumors of a new romance when she accompanied the Charlie's Angels director to a charity tennis tournament in California recently and is now said to be in a relationship with the moviemaker.

CBS Fall 2010 Line-Up: What And When To Watch
Presenting Starpulse's quick-and-dirty guide to this fall's new CBS programming.
First, the new:
Mike & Molly, Mon. Sept. 20, 9:30/8:30 CST -- America's obesity epidemic has left a lot us a bit fluffier, and "Mike & Molly" might be CBS's attempt to deliver a show we can relate to. Unfortunately, that seems to be the extent of the humor -- being fluffy. The main characters, played by Billy Gardell ("Yes, Dear") and Melissa McCarthy ("Gilmore Girls"), meet at an Overeaters Anonymous meeting, fall for each other, and deal with the modern-day problems overweight couples face.

Tom Selleck's New Show 'Blue Bloods' Won't Stop 'Jesse Stone'
Next week, Tom Selleck’s new TV series Blue Bloods premieres on CBS. The commitment to a new weekly drama won’t hurt his other job though. Selleck promises more Jesse Stone movies while he’s on Blue Bloods.
“Number seven is ready to go,” Selleck told the Television Critics Association this summer. “It's called Innocents Lost, e-n-t-s. I made it real clear that I wasn't going give up Jesse, so we're writing number eight.”
Sales of the last Jesse Stone DVD haven’t hurt Selleck’s case. “My boss Helen Verno, just sent me a note saying that No Remorse, the last one that just aired, is Number...

The Family Drama That Brought Tom Selleck Back To TV
Tom Selleck is back in a weekly series this fall in CBS’s Blue Bloods. He plays a New York City police commissioner with two cop sons and a prosecutor daughter. This is was the sort of juicy dynamic that got Selleck to return to the world where he once played Magnum P.I.
“Conflicts are interesting for me,” Selleck told the Television Critics Association at a press conference today. “You can’t be more conflicted than a police commissioner who’s got a prosecuting attorney for a daughter and two sons who are cops on the street. From a command standpoint, that’s going to be a big conflict in t...

Tom Selleck Eyes Return To Broadway
TV and movie star Tom Selleck has his sights set on Broadway - almost a decade after he made his theatre debut in New York.
The actor was a big hit in A Thousand Clowns in 2001 and he has been keen to get back onstage ever since - but his film and TV career and his sideline as an avocado farmer in California have kept him too busy.
He says, "I'll probably do a Broadway play soon. There's a lot of possibilities but it requires time which I'm happy to say I don't have right now.
"As much as I enjoyed doing my first Broadway play, my first play of any kind back in 2001, I haven't had ...
