The point is that BBCancelled was eating Korean food in Manhattan last night on 13th Street and 5th Avenue when Adrian and friend (a man, don't worry ladies, looked like a bandmate) walked into the dive. No free table. So they stood, silently, i that perfectly New York City way that celebs do to act cool. Then, a couple got up to leave and the man looked at Grenier and said, "Is it..."

And all Grenier did was nod affirmatively.

Dude from wherever then whipped out his cellphone and asked, "Can I..."

It was so perfectly straight-guy talk it should have been in a Quentin Tarantino movie.

Once again, Grenier said as little as possible. He grunted, "Sure."

Snap. Done. And they sat down. And then Grenier and friend and drumsticks. Oh yeah, Grenier was carrying brand new drumsticks which is why it looked like the guy was in his band. They had to ask their neighbors for help understanding the menu.

Coolest part? While a "mean girl" sitting next to BBCancelled (from Domino magazine no less!) wouldn't stop using her cellphone. We even asked her to stop, and she said, "I don't know how to turn it off." Well, while ordinary chicks like that are being rude, Grenier AND his friend both took turns leaving the restaurant to make or return phone calls.

Class Act.

" Nip Tuck" is back with baring more skin. This time guest stars are encourage to bust out. Rosie will appear next week. Apparently there's a hot love scene that lead to a topless moment for "The View" star. While it wasn't written in, producer decided it was perfect for the moment, and left it.

Before his divorce is finalized on Oct 6, LeBlanc will have to deal with Stephanie Stevens. He apparently told the tab she "was all over me." While she claims she didn't even give him a lap dance. Stevens says all the action took place at her pad, not at her office.

See you in court, friends!

Or so he says in his new book, ''I'm Proud of You: My Friendship With Fred Rogers.” In the new tome, Madigan recounts a bond the two men developed that helped him deal with a crisis in his marriage, his battle with depression and his brother's diagnosis of incurable lung cancer.

Sounds like “Tuesdays With Morrie.”

Their friendship began with a phone interview for an article about violence on television and continued until Rogers' death of stomach cancer in February 2003.

Last summer, Madigan decided it was time to write about what Rogers had meant to him.

''It just kind of poured out of me,'' said Madigan, who has been a reporter at the Star-Telegram for 22 years and has written two other books. ''It was one of the easiest writing jobs I've ever had.''

The book, which came out in August, gives readers a glimpse of Rogers in an adult context, showing the inherent goodness of the man whose public television show, ''Mister Rogers' Neighborhood,'' entertained and educated children for more than 30 years.

''The world is full of the examples of evil, but he was an example of the power of goodness,'' said Madigan, 48.

At 11:59pm on Sunday, September 17th, the WB will be no more. And so will fall the type of programming we’ve grown to love – serial television in a world populated almost exclusively by gorgeous and troubled characters. Even the old people are sexy on the WB. We’re going to miss it.

The WB began programming in 1995 -- a reaction to the Fox network's growing success. The idea was that smaller networks could thrive in a market where the major networks had become homogenized. While their parents were hooked “Ally McBeal” – a younger demographic was being aggressively charmed by The WB.

The WB found itself in the unique position of building an audience that would stay put. With the launch of it's “Kids WB” programming, The WB began airing shows such as “Tiny Toon Adventures,” wherein child-versions of Bugs Bunny and friends wrought havoc on each other. Also launched was the wildly successful “Animaniacs,” about three oddly shaped cartoon characters who lived in the WB water tower. These shows had the surprising effect that Warner Brothers had popularized with it’s Bugs Bunny cartoons in the 1940s. “Animaniacs” was watched in equal numbers by small children, and stoned college students.

The WB was not without its misguided ideas. There was, after all, the use of Michigan J. Frog, the newly personailitied obnoxious frog, who danced through promos with his top hat and bow-tie. As the network grew up, it abandoned that frog long after it had overstayed it’s welcome. This was about the same time that The WB figured out it could finally market to an older crowd – the same market it courted in the late 90’s.

The audience that watched "Felicity" during college were now living lives that were closer to the lives of the characters on “Everwood.” The success of The WB grew with hits like “One Tree Hill” and “Smallville.” In the meantime, though, the UPN was gaining on them, until in 2005, The WB finished behind UPN in ratings for the first time.

In January of 2006, CBS President and television visionary Les Moonves announced that he would purchase and merge both The WB and UPN, effectively creating what he believes will be a “fifth major network.” "The CW," as it’s being called will launch on September 18th, 2006.

On Sunday, September 17th, the network will show the premiere episodes of “Felicity,” “Buffy,”and “Angel.” The last programming that the WB will ever run will be the series premiere of “Dawson’s Creek” at 10pm.

The WB was never afraid of a "niche market" because they knew that their audience would remain adaptable., It survived without any pretensions of becoming a “fifth” network. While "The WB" found itself in competition with Fox, UPN, and the major three, the WB remained loyal to its viewers -- it renewed the series craved by it's audience. By growing up with a generation that is just now coming of age, The WB made itself part of the American cultural landscape.

Goodnight, little frog-prince. We hardly knew ye.

A theme on Fox's new “Standoff” (Tuesdays at 9 pm) is that the FBI doesn't allow dating among agents. When Ron Livingston and Rosemarie Dewitt's relationship is made public, the two are forced to call it off (or take it back underground). In real life the Bureau doesn't give a crap if you date another agent. Funny when life is moremorally lax than a Fox show.
