Posted on 11. Sep, 2009 by CSS.
Maura Tierney, who played nurse Abby Lockhart on NBC’s medical drama ER for a decade, is exiting the network’s new fall drama Parenthood as she continues to undergo treatment to battle breast cancer.
Maura’s role as Sarah, one of four adult children born to a pair of eccentric parents, will be recast, NBC confirmed on Thursday.
In July, NBC postponed production on the show for eight weeks to allow the actress time to undergo treatment.
“While we are saddened that Maura Tierney won’t be able to continue in her current role in Parenthood, our main concern is for her quick and full recovery. Our thoughts and best wishes are with her,” an NBC spokesperson said.
Although the show is moving on without her, a rep for Tierney says the actress’ prognosis is good.
“Maura Tierney regrets that she will not be able to continue her role on Parenthood due to a conflict with the production schedule of the show and her breast cancer treatments,” the actress’ rep said in a statement to PEOPLE. “Ms. Tierney and her doctors remain confident that the outcome of her treatments will be positive. She is deeply disappointed that she will not be able to rejoin such a highly respected, talented, fun and funny group of actors and wishes to thank Jason Katims and NBC for their patience and support.”

Posted on 27. Apr, 2009 by CSS.
Casey Aldridge, the father of Jamie Lynn Spears’ 10-month-old daughter, Maddie, has been hospitalized following a serious single-car accident in Louisiana this weekend, PEOPLE has confirmed.
Casey had been driving a 2008 Ford F-250 and had four young male passengers in the car. According to a spokesperson for the Louisiana State Police, while traveling on the LA 606 freeway at approximately 1:30AM on Sunday, Casey lost control of the vehicle and ran off the right side of the road into a ditch. He over-corrected when he swung the car back onto the road, causing it to roll over at least once. Casey and two of his passengers were ejected from the truck.
The 19-year-old was rushed to a Jackson, Mississippi hospital with a suspected blood clot on the brain-which turned out to be fractured skull.
A friend of Aldridge’s reportedly broke his collarbone in the accident.
Casey was ticketed with careless operation of a motor vehicle, a traffic misdemeanor, following the accident.
Seriously glad no one was hurt worse- police say no alcohol or drugs were in play at the time of the accident.

Farrah Fawcett Condition "Critical"
Posted on 06. Apr, 2009 by CSS.
Cancer-stricken Charlie’s Angels star Farrah Fawcett is said to be in a “critical but stable condition” after being hospitalized in Los Angeles last Thursday.
The 62-year-old actress is battling intestinal cancer, which she was first diagnosed with in 2006. Her cancer went into remission, but returned in May 2007.
Farrah’s health has deteriorated since she returned from Germany, an source at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center-tells the Daily Record.
“On Farrah Fawcett’s behalf, I can confirm that she recently checked into a Los Angeles hospital,” the producer, Craig Nevius, says in a statement released to PEOPLE. “And although it is usually against her nature to correct false or exaggerated stories that originate in tabloid-style reports by offering true information that they would not otherwise have to publish, Farrah is allowing this statement out of appreciation for her fans, who have offered their constant support throughout her fight, as well as out of concern for the countless other cancer patients who have written her over the last two-and-a-half years in order to tell her that they are following her story in the hope that there is hope.”
Her longtime partner Ryan O’Neal, 67, is keeping a vigil at her bedside. The couple’s troubled son, Redmond O’Neal, 24, who had earlier joined his father at his mother’s bedside, was busted when he drove a friend to a detention facility in Santa Clarita, Calif., and guards found drugs on him at a checkpoint.
Farrah’s cancer struggle has been filmed for an upcoming NBC documentary, A Wing And A Prayer.
