Who doesn’t love a feel-good animal movie!? (Me, most of the time.) However I love me some John Krasinski, so I’m gonna have to watch it, whether I like it or not!

This just in! NBC has canceled The Playboy Club, after airing only 3 episodes! Poor Eddie Cibrian, the guy can’t catch a break! LeAnn Rimes (for once) has been mum on her Twitter. Either she doesn’t know yet, or she’s not talking.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the cancellation comes after terrible ratings, and backlash from the PTC for objectifying and degrading women.

Brian Williams‘ newsmagazine show, Rock Center, will take its place beginning Oct. 31. Until then, repeats of Maria Bello‘s Prime Suspect will air on Mondays at 10 p.m. The move to air Prime Suspectin Playboy Club‘s time slot is a clear sign of Bob Greenblatt‘s desire to make the series, which is closer to his cable sensibilities, work.

Playboy Club‘s cancellation comes after the drama premiered Sept. 20 to underwhelming ratings, attracting 5 million viewers and a 1.6 rating in the advertiser-coveted adults 18-49 demographic. The second episode of the series from showrunner Chad Hodge and 20th Century Fox Television, tumbled 19 percent, luring only 3.8 million viewers and a 1.3 in the demo. Its most recent episode dropped even more, attracting 3.2 million viewers and a 1.2.

The series faced a backlash almost from the start, as the Parents Television Council called for a boycott and urged sponsors to pull out of the show that starred Amber Heard and Eddie Cibrian in a 1960s-set story about the Chicago Playboy Club and the bunnies and men who loved them.

Seven advertisers exited the series in the series’ second week after PTC president deemed the show a “commercial disaster” and called for the network to cancel the “degrading and sexualizing program immediately.”

The PTC targeted the show from early on for objectifying and degrading women since NBC ordered it to series in May.

Hodge downplayed the controversy after Gloria Steinem called for a boycott and NBC’s Salt Lake City affiliate refused to air it.

“I think there’s a perception of the show that’s false,” he said. “There are different brands of feminism and I don’t think it should be boxed into any one version.”

“I think there was a perception that we were trying to do something politically ambitious or make a statement or make this a show about empowering women, which sounds super boring to me. That sounds like a documentary, which this certainly is not. This is more like Chicago, Moulin Rouge andAll That Jazz, Desperate Housewives. This is a fun, sexy soap,” he added.

I watched the first episode, and half of the second. I didn’t hate the show – but I certainly didn’t love it. I won’t miss it, let’s put it that way. I just can’t get over the douchey Eddie Cibrian.  The guy comes off as the biggest creep. The show was too over the top and cheesy for me.

One thing I will say in The Playboy Club’s defense, I absolutely hate how quickly NBC drops shows. I’ve been saying it for years. NBC doesn’t give shows a chance to get good – they simply ax them right away. ABC is better at giving shows a year or two to get good (i.e. Private Practice). NBC should give shows a chance to fix whatever’s wrong! Cancel it after 3 episodes? So harsh!

That’s a GIANT diamond Jennifer Aniston is sporting!

Jen looks amazing. She’s never looked happier!

The UN refugee agency honored Angelina Jolie and Yemeni humanitarian aid group Society for Humanitarian Solidarity (SHS) for their outstanding work for refugees over many years.

Before an audience of 200 government officials, diplomats, donors and aid workers, Jolie was recognized for completing 10 years as UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, while the founder and 290 staff of SHS received the prestigious Nansen Refugee Award for their live-saving work helping tens of thousands of desperate boat people arriving on the coast of Yemen from the Horn of Africa.

“This award motivates us to increase our effort to helping those who are in need,” said SHS founder Nasser Salim Ali Al-Hamairy, while Jolie told the audience, “It is an honour to work on behalf of refugees and I look forward to the next 10 years.”

Lauding Jolie, UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres said, “She is the very best of the goodwill ambassadors that exist in the humanitarian world.”

In a slick ceremony presided over by former British politician and broadcast journalist Sir Martin Bell, Norwegian musician Sivert Hoyem warmed up the audience with two songs before a tribute to Angelina Jolie and her work for UNHCR was screened in Geneva’s distinctive 19th Century Bâtiment des Forces Motrices, a former water pumping station on the River Rhone.

Angelina said, “I’m so grateful to the many refugee families that I have had the honour and privilege to spend the last years with. From them I’ve learned so much. I’ve learned to become a better person, a better mother. They’ve inspired me by showing me every day the unbreakable strength of the human spirit.”

She looks beautiful in white!

After dating for five months, Blake Lively and Leonardo DiCaprio have broken up, reps for both the stars confirm to US Weekly. The reps add that the pair “remain friends”. Isn’t that nice.

First spotted getting cozy while aboard Steven Spielberg’s yacht in Monte Carlo on May 17 during the Cannes Film Festival, the couple embarked on a whirlwind, super-luxe summer romance that spanned the globe. During their time together, the Gossip Girl actress, 24, and Inception star, 36, took their PDA parade to romantic locales ranging from Venice, Italy to Anaheim, Calif. to NYC. In late August, Lively even flew thousands of miles from the U.S. to Sydney, Australia — for a quick weekend — where her beau was filming The Great Gatsby.

Weeks before he and Lively became an item, DiCaprio and model Bar Rafaeli called it quits on their on-and-off, five-year relationship. Back in October 2010, Lively and Gossip Girl costar Penn Badgley ended their three-year romance.

The pair’s recent split is sure to come as a surprise to some DiCaprio pals, one of whom told Us they’d “never seen him like this with a girl.” Back in June, the couple were ensconced in DiCaprio’s L.A. home, where Lively “spent the whole time baking….Leo’s never dated a girl who can cook. And he’s smitten!” The duo also bonded with one another’s parents.

Echoed another insider this summer: “I bet they get engaged in six months.”

As for Lively, she’s long said she never lets public opinion affect her relationships.

“I have a strong sense of myself. That gives me a sense of security, you know? Every relationship you have, you’re learning and growing and taking something from that,” the actress recently told Glamour magazine. “So for me, it’s never been too dramatic of a thing when something ends.”

I’m not surprised in the least. Leo – like George Clooney - will never settle down. Mark my words! Who will the hot actor date next? I say Rosie Huntington-Whitely. Just putting it out there in the universe.
