"Lipstick Jungle" Ends Tomorrow Night

"Sex" knock-off "Lipstick Jungle" will end its run on the once-hot NBC network tomorrow night at 9pm. The series based on the same-titled Candace Bushnell's book will conclude with its 20th episode.


Although the show initially did better than ABC's attempt at reviving the "Sex and the City" craze "Cashmere Mafia," it struggled on Wednesday and Friday nights this season, and ultimately ended up losing half of its already modest 6-7 million audience.


Attempt by the show's stars and producers to keep the show going were futile as its ratings failed to match even NBC's modest standards. The show has however given its stars Brooke Shields, Kim Raver, Lyndsay Price and Robert Buckley a lot of buzz.

Buckley has already landed a gig on CW's teen soap "Privileged" and he will also appear in a couple of movies, later in 2009.

The images of Brooke Shileds above are taken from an "In Style" photo shoot.

"Lipstick" Star Brooke Shileds Leaves Hospital

"Lipstick Jungle" star Brooke Shields left a Los Angeles hospital on Friday on crutches following a foot surgery she underwent to correct a chronic foot injury she sustained while performing on stage.


Due to the surgery, Shields was recently forced to bow out of the Carnegie Hall production of the classic children's book "The Runaway Bunny."

Her NBC dramedy will return in September for a 2nd season, in a new timeslot Wednesdays at 10:00pm.

"Lipstick Jungle" has averaged 6.97 million viewers on Thursday nights earlier this year, ranking 97th for the season.
