Alyssa Milano is the latest star to sign up for upcoming rom-com ‘New Year’s Eve’.
The movie by New Line is about to start production and Milano is the latest to join its star-studded cast, which already includes Katherine Heigl, Jessica Biel, Jon Bon Jovi, Robert De Niro and Sarah Jessica Parker among others.
According to Variety, Milano will play a nurse looking after an elderly patient who has nobody else to spend her New Year’s Eve with.
Poor Alyssa Milano! Did her show even get a fair chance?
It’s that time of the year again when big wigs over at the broadcast networks decide the fate of some of your favorite television shows.
According to EW.com, the networks are in the process of deciding whether they should save or kill a TV show that is “on the bubble,” meaning the ones that have yet to be renewed for the 2010-2011 TV season.
“FlashForward,” “Better Off Ted,” “Scrubs” and Alyssa Milano’s short-lived comedy “Romantically Challenged” are among the ABC shows that have officially been cancelled. On a good note, the sci-fi alien series “V” will be coming back for a 13-episode second season.
Alyssa Milano says she was pleasantly surprised Friday when UsMagazine.com broke the news that her pal Christina Applegate was engaged to Porno for Pyros rocker Martyn LeNoble.
“I had no idea!” Milano, 37, told Us Friday at the Children Mending Hearts’ “Peace Please” gala in L.A.
Two weeks ago, when she and Applegate, 38, were shooting the comedy Hall Pass in Atlanta, “she kept it a secret,” Milano told Us. “The funny thing is, my husband is actually her agent, so she really kept it a secret from everyone! But I’m thrilled for her. They are an amazing couple, and I think they are great.”
Her tip to the bride-to-be? “Never forget to laugh!” said Milano, who wed Hollywood agent David Bugliari last year.
Case in point: Jersey Shore star Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, who recently made fun of Milano in Interview magazine. (“Alyssa Milano? What’s the last thing she’s done, Who’s the Boss? It’s like, ‘Who’s the boss, now, Alyssa?’” he said after she told Us she didn’t like his MTV show.)
She is laughing off his remark.
“I think Ronnie is funny,” she told Us. “He is silly. I’m sure people aren’t taking him too seriously with that stuff.”
She said she enjoyed recently shooting a Jersey Shore spoof. “It was super, super fun,” she told Us. “My brother came up with the idea to call Funny or Die. I called them on a Thursday; they pitched me the [concept], and then Friday we were shooting it. That’s how quick it happened!”

ABC has set Monday, April 12, at 9:30 as the premiere slot for “Romantically Challenged,” an ensemble comedy starring Alyssa Milano.
It’s Milano’s first regular series gig since “Charmed” went off the air in 2006.
She plays recent divorcee Rebecca, who after 15 years of marriage hasn’t been on a date since the Clinton presidency. Her equally romantically challenged friends include Perry (Kyle Bornheimer), successful financial planner, romantic and Rebecca’s friend since childhood; struggling novelist Shawn (Josh Lawson), the cynic to roommate Perry’s romantic; and Rebecca’s little sister, Lisa (Kelly Stables), whose deceptively sweet appearance masks both her pit-bull protectiveness of Rebecca and her wild side.
ABC asks: “Will these four romantically challenged friends ever find lasting love? Or even someone who lasts until next Thursday?”
The series is produced by Bonanza Productions Inc. and Candy Bar Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television.

With nature and family as themes, actress Alyssa Milano wed Hollywood agent David Bugliari at his family’s estate in New Jersey on Saturday, her rep confirms exclusively to People.
Milano, wearing a custom gown by Vera Wang and holding a bouquet of lily of the valley flowers, walked down an aisle strewn with cream-colored rose petals and natural grass to the tune of John Lennon’s “Imagine.”
The couple exchanged traditional vows under a wrought-iron gazebo decorated with willow, calla lilies and roses. Among the guests was actor Bradley Cooper, a friend of the groom.
“We wanted a wedding that was reflective of who we are as a couple” says Milano, who calls meeting her husband in 2006 “a lovely gift.”
Following the ceremony, wooden signs directed guests to the cocktail area, decorated with rattan furniture and hay bales serving as cocktail tables.
Dinner was served family style on rustic farmhouse tables in a tent with wood flooring and wrought iron chandeliers. Event planner Colin Cowie created just the right atmosphere for the family-oriented couple.
“My Italian family still eats Sunday dinner together every week,” says Milano. “We wanted to capture the same feeling with people passing around beautiful bowls of food and talking and laughing.”
Bugliari, an agent at the Creative Artists Agency, “proposed to Milano, 36, last December with a ring he designed and made by Jim Lavi at Daniel Jewelry in La Jolla, Calif.
Milano has most recently been in seen in NBC’s comedy My Name Is Earl. Up next for the actress is a role on the the ABC comedy Romantically Challenged.

Alyssa Milano is getting hitched. The 36-year-old actress and CAA agent David Bugliari got engaged on Dec. 18, her rep tells Usmagazine.com.
A wedding date has not been announced. The two dated for more than a year.
“I’ve gotten such s— about my dating choices,” she told Details in 2007 of her penchant for romancing Major League pitchers (including Carl Pavano, Barry Zito and Brad Penny). “Like, every single article … is about how I’m ‘the chick that dates athletes…” She added, “I’d love to just find a good plumber or doctor.”
