Elisha Cuthbert will never forget the time she was tased.

The actress, best known for "24," had that memorable moment (or at least her character, Alex, did) on ABC's comedy "Happy Endings" last season. Cuthbert told CNN that was her favorite moment that has aired on the show so far (but look out for the upcoming Halloween episode, for another one).

“I’m just in a place where I’m just ready to give it my all," she said. "So when the writers come up to me and say, ‘We want to tase you next week,’ I say, ‘Bring it! Let’s do it!’"

According to the Hollywood Reporter, actress and director Penny Marshall is working on bringing her inspiring life story to the masses.

"I have had many lives (not in the Shirley MacLaine sense) and you will hear about them all ... Just don't expect any recipes ... I don't cook," the 68-year-old Hollywood veteran says of her upcoming memoir.

Marshall says the book will cover her childhood, her relationship with brother Garry Marshall (the producer), moving to Hollywood as a single mom, her time on “Laverne & Shirley,” becoming a director and her 2009 battle with cancer.

In this week's episode of "Parenthood," Max was having a hard time dealing with his punishment for fighting with Jabbar.

He has to spend a week on lunch detention, which means he's supposed to eat in a classroom away from the other students. Kristina gets permission to have a family member sit with him, and she asks Amber. This is both to help him work on the apology he has to write and so he has someone to make him feel comfortable.

In reality, it's Amber's who needs someone to make her feel comfortable.

Classic chick flick “Steel Magnolias” is getting a remake with an all-black cast, courtesy of Lifetime. Deadline reports that the network is developing an original movie based on the hit film.

Like the 1989 movie (which was based on a stage play), Lifetime’s new version will revolve around a close group of women in Louisiana.

The original featured an all-star cast: Dolly Parton, Julia Roberts, Sally Field, Shirley MacLaine, Darryl Hannah and Olympia Dukakis. The TV movie’s producers want a similarly star-studded assemblage of black actresses for their new Southern drama.

Tim Allen’s “Last Man Standing” was exactly what critics promised: a joke for joke, set design for set design, trope for trope revisit of the early ‘90s.

But while ABC's offering is reminiscent in oh-so-many ways of Allen’s former show, “Home Improvement,” it isn’t nearly as funny. There are laughs, but when you chuckle you’ll wonder how you could be so easy.

Allen plays Mike Baxter, a manly man who travels often for his job at an outdoor sporting goods store. He's also beyond cranky about the lack of real men in today’s world.

Ivy League football fans received a surprise guest Saturday. New York Magazine's Vulture reports that Bill Murray showed up at the Harvard-Cornell game and “conducted” the Harvard Band.

Murray, 61, appeared from the stands after the band played the “Ghostbusters” theme song and showed his school spirit.

"This guy in pink pants walked up and said, 'Hey, play that song again,'" said Harvard University Band Manager Rachel L. Hawkins to The Harvard Crimson. "He kind of appeared out of nowhere.”

So, who had “The Playboy Club” in the cancellation pool for this fall’s new series? Don’t all raise your hands at once, and don’t think the NBC show is alone.

“The Playboy Club” was the first to get the ax, but not the only one. Broadcast networks have lowered the boom on “Free Agents,” “H8R” and “How To Be a Gentleman.”

And I’m willing to bet at least some of you out there had the same response I did: Total lack of surprise.

Things are happening so fast for Jack Osbourne! He confirmed his engagement less than two weeks ago, and now he’s announced that he’s going to be a father.

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne’s 25-year-old son shared his news Tuesday on “Piers Morgan Tonight.” "I'm excited. I'm a little nervous," Jack revealed.

His partner in procreation, of course, is his new fiancée, actress Lisa Stelly.

"The most amazing man I've ever met asked me to marry him....and he wasn't joking!" Stelly, 26, tweeted September 29. "Crazy, right?"

One thing not to expect from new dad Jack: More TV time. "I'm not going to do a reality show, though," he told Morgan.
