This is FABULOUS news!!! Brooke Shields told reporters at Sunday’s Kidsfest in NYC:
“They thought that because My Own Worst Enemy has been shut down that the same thing had happened to us, and it’s not true,”
She went on to say the show is still going strong:
“They’re not breaking down the sets,” she added. “We’re still working. We still have more to do, so it’s erroneously presented that we’ve been canceled, thank God.
“Our bosses are saying, ‘You’re not canceled, don’t worry. We’re just trying to figure out how to make this make sense.’”
When it was first reported that Lipstick Jungle had been cancelled fans sent tubes of lipstick to Jeff Zucker, president & CEO of NBC Universal, as a show of protest for its `cancellation`and support for the show:
“It’s been insane,” she went on. “I think that the public outcry has been crazy, and it’s kind of wonderful.”
And Brooke herself is optimistic of the show`s staying power:
“I actually am,” Shields said. “I mean, we’re basically No. 1 if you look at DVR. And you look at all that. So the public is watching it.
“The problem that they have is it’s not the same day live,” she continued. “They just need to figure out how to reconcile advertisers’ money because the advertisers don’t want you fast forwarding commercials.”
If the show does get cancelled Brooke will be heartbroken:
“The family atmosphere and the excitement of being all together and working — that’s the perk,” she said. “I think they would be remiss if they decided not to continue next season.”
Kim Raver admits she would take it very hard if the show were cancelled:
“The main thing is that me and Brooke and Lindsay [Price] have such a great time, not to sound corny,” “I think on Monday there are emergency meetings as to what’s going to go on. But I know the executives are really pushing it and believe in it.”
Now this is a GREAT way to start the week, am I right??????
