Between multiple call-ins to The Howard Stern Show and a sit-down with Oprah Winfrey last month, David Arquette has hardly kept quiet about the state of his marriage to Courteney Cox. The two announced they had separated in October. In a new interview with Harper's Bazaar, Cox broke her silence and defended her estranged husband and his comments. Courteney Cox on separation from David Arquette: "This is not like we're getting divorced" "I'm not saying there wasn't some crazy behavior, but if you know who David is, you know what his...

On Saturday, June 3, at 7 pm/ET, the G4 cable network relaunches its long-running Filter series as a fast and funny countdown show. Now hosting the glammed-up and pop-culture-heavy production is model-actress Beth Ostrosky, whom TVGuide.com spoke to a few weeks ago about her glitzy new gig, her oversized appendages and her and boyfriend Howard Stern's most special of many passions. (Hint: It involves petting.) TVGuide.com: Does a part of you ever giggle when you s

Nope, not gonna mention the kid doc by name for another 700 words or so. But boy, has Neil Patrick Harris accomplished the almost-impossible, creating a character on CBS' hit freshman laffer How I Met Your Mother (Mondays at 8:30 pm/ET) so fresh and different that we almost forget his original TV incarnation. (Of course, that little escapade with Harold & Kumar helped the cause.) Just how much does the actor love creating Barney trouble? Here's what he had to tell TVGuide.com. TVGuide.com: When I interviewed As the World Turns' Terri Colombino née Conn years ago, she mentioned that you were her prom date. What do you remember about that night?Neil Patrick Harris: She's married now? Oh, I remember lots. That was really fun. We had

Sure, all the headlines have been about the backstage power-shifts going on at ABC's Commander in Chief (Thursdays at 10 pm/ET), but there's a whopper of an on-screen power grab on the horizon. (Three words: Templeton in charge!) On the way to work yesterday, Natasha Henstridge, who plays the silver fox's chief of staff, Jayne Murray, spoke with TVGuide.com about Chief's never-boring term. TVGuide.com: The fact that you're on your way to the set kind of answers my first question about whether new show-runner Dee Johnson is working you.Natasha Henstr

While Howard Stern successor David Lee Roth rants on-air about producers' proposed "fixes" to his ratings-anemic radio show — "They want me to copy Howard [but] I told them I would quit if they will not let me... create something unique," he said on Wednesday — the King of All Media himself has booked an appearance on Monday's Late Show with David Letterman, where he undoubtedly will take aim at Les Moonves and the lawsuit CBS Radio filed against him last week.
Per the New York Post, Infinity Broadcasting biggie Les Moonves stands poised to slap Howard Stern with a $500 million lawsuit, claiming that the shock jock breached his contract with the terrestrial radio op by not properly divulging details of his new Sirius gig. Stern can take solace in two bits of "good" news: not only has he topped trade-mag Talkers' annual "Heavy Hundred" list of talk-radio hosts, but his successor in the New York market, David Lee Roth, has lost 90 percent of Stern's listeners age 18 to 34, aka the postpubescent crowd. Ouch.
