Nashville may be the place Lawrence Rothman first cut their teeth as an artist, but it took the ongoing surge in Americana and emo country for them to fall in love with the city.

“I kind of sum up Nashville with all the music that’s happening adjacent to the Americana sound right now — and I’m including Zach Bryan — with the rawness of the songwriting, and the lyrics being first,” Rothman tells Rolling Stone.

“That’s an M.O. for me. Nashville had fallen off my radar until I...

In this new era of their music, Lawrence Rothman just wants to be real. On Wednesday, the musician released their single “Poster Child,” co-written with Jason Isbell, and announced their upcoming album, The Plow That Broke the Plains on April 26.

“The Plow That Broke the Plains is me not hiding behind any persona or mask and just being myself and putting that uncensored self into the words and recordings no matter how painful the confrontation was,” Rothman said in a press statement about the LP.

On “Poster Child,” Rothman stays...

Updated with details: A nearly 45-minute power failure hit Los Angeles International Airport at about 2:30 p.m. today, halting passenger screenings and potentially delaying flights. The Department of Water and Power said its crews have restored service and that “the outage is being investigated.”

“Power has been restored to most locations or is coming online,” per a 3:08 p.m. tweet from Lax’s official account. “Tsa is expected to resume screening in the terminals within 10-15 minutes. Conveyances will take a little longer to restart.”

The airport had tweeted earlier that “most of our terminals are impacted by the loss of power and crews are assessing the issue. Some departing flights may be impacted due to no power to jet bridges. Please allow extra time and check your flight status as we learn more.”

The Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement, “The Faa’s air traffic control...

Rosalía shared her first new track of the year, titled “Llylm,” short for “Lie like you love me.” The new track blends flamenco handclaps with pop and R&b sounds.

Earlier this month, Rosalía teased the single in short clips on social media, and revealed the release date for her new track. The meaning behind the song’s title was also shared, with the singer giving fans a sneak peek at the lyrics: “I don’t need the honesty/ Lie like you love me, lie like you love me/ Cover me in a dream,...

After teasing the possibility of new material during her wildly successful Motomami World Tour, Spanish songstress Rosalía delivered Motomami+ — a deluxe edition of her critically acclaimed album that features her latest single “Despechá,” along several reworkings of Motomami standouts and a handful of new tracks. Rosalía first announced the release of Motomami+ during a tour stop in San Juan, Puerto Rico on Sept. 3.

Among the reimagined songs on the expanded Motomami is remix of “Candy” featuring Puerto Rican reggaeton trailblazer Chencho Corleone, along with a live version of “La Fama...

Welcome to this week’s Impact Wrestling review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and the Impact Wrestling site has been taken by a malware/spyware program (as per my computer’s insistence) so we’re going without the re-cap from their site. Anyway, this show has a match or two worth looking at, so let’s look at them.

Match #1: Golden Magic defeated Tjp, Trey and Taurus – Fatal 4 Way Match

My Opinion: 3.1 out of 5 – This was a fun match that had enough thrilling action to make this worth the trouble to have booked at all. I’m surprised that Magic won, but that’s a good thing some-times. You can’t always just go with the safe choice. Every-body looked good here and seemed to work well together. The match is better than the review of it, trust me. Overall, this was a good way to start the card.

Welcome to this week’s Impact Wrestling review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have an Impact Wrestling review in the wake of almost a month’s worth of good television. Let’s hope this is another good show, because with the week the WWE has put wrestling fans through, it nearly feel like a matter of life and death…maybe.

Match #1: Sami Callihan beat Fallah Bahh The following is courtesy of impactwrestling.com:

Fallah takes control in the early going, forcing Callihan to retreat to the outside. Callihan targets Fallah’s exposed feet! They exchange strikes in the middle of the ring. Fallah gets the upperhand with a big belly-to-belly suplex. Fallah hits a Samoan Drop when Jake and Dave Crist come to ringside! Scarlett fights back and hits a rolling senton off the apron! Fallah slams Callihan to the mat and almost scores the upset victory!

Welcome to this week’s Impact Wrestling review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Phil and we’ve got the last episode of Impact before this years Bound For Glory. Let’s get right to the action!

Match #1: Trevor Lee vs. Jack Evans vs. Puma King vs. Petey Williams – Four-Way Match The following is courtesy of ImpactWrestling.com:

All four of these men are looking to impress Scarlett Bordeaux after her open casting call last week! Williams goes for the Canadian Destroyer on Lee but he counters! Williams locks in the Sharpshooter instead. Puma hits a big top rope crossbody on Lee. Puma jumps from inside the ring, to the top rope, to the outside, taking out Evans! Puma connects with a springboard Codebreaker on Lee for a near fall. Evans dropkicks Puma, followed by a crossbody on Lee. Evans takes Puma off the top rope with an acrobatic handspring kick.

Welcome to the Impact Wrestling review for this week, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have some excellent wrestling to cover, so let’s not waste any time talking and just finish immediately. Good-night, every-body!

Match #1: Fenix beat Sami Callihan

I can’t believe I just wrote that. Fenix was actually booked to beat Sami. I’m thrilled that someone other than a white guy won a wrestling match for a change. That’s not a knock on any one promotion, but it always seems that just us white folks are booked to win the wrestling matches, even when it’s better for the non-white people to have a crack at glory. That’s right, we’re discussing equal opportunity wrestling. Aren’t you excited?! Screw it… this was a great match that oughta get your blood pumping no matter what color you are. The...

With reboots of “Charmed” and “Magnum Pi” on the way, TheWrap looks at TV revivals that never should’ve happened

“Charlie’s Angels”

“Charlie’s Angels” perfectly captured the goofiness of the ’70s, but it felt painfully out of date in 2011. Critics and audiences agreed: It was canceled after three episodes.

“Ironside”

Blair Underwood has done some memorable TV work, starting with his career-making role on “L.A. Law.” But his 2013 take on the Raymond Burr crime drama was yanked from NBC’s air even faster than you can say “Lax” or “The Event.”

“The Bionic Woman”

A 2007 take on the “Six Million Dollar Man” spinoff, this NBC show’s original sin was casting “Battlestar Galactica” ass-kicker Katee Sackhoff as the recurring villain rather than the lead.

“Knight Rider”

Like so much ’80s television, the original “Knight Rider” is over-celebrated. But NBC’s 2008 version lacked even the original’s dumb charms — and David Hasselhoff.

James Gunn just kinda (maybe) gave away a major spoiler about future 'Avengers' and 'Guardians of the Galaxy' movies and the fate of his presumably dead characters ... we think. We got the 'Guardians' director Tuesday leaving Lax and asked if it's gonna be difficult to make the third installment to his own franchise now that Marvel may have killed off a majority of his cast in 'Infinity War.' Btw, this is a spoiler alert.

[[tmz:video id="0_wx525mno"]] Jennifer Lawrence's self-appointed producer role on the 'Real Housewives' franchise is just that, according to the franchise's honcho Andy Cohen. We got Andy at Lax Wednesday where he called J. Law more of a 'Housewives' enthusiast than anything else. She told Jimmy Fallon on 'The Tonight Show,'  she gives Andy "a lot of advice" on the series. Andy says it's true, although it sounds like it's more than just friendly suggestions. In fact,...

[[tmz:video id="0_sbes8ik9"]] Heather Locklear threw a little accidental shade at David Spade's new gf, but he can't possibly be pissed because she also dropped a huge advertisement ... for his junk! We got Heather at Lax and asked why Spade has an endless track record of scoring smoking hot chicks -- including Heather. She briefly fell under his spell back in 2006. Spade's secret is simple, according to Heather -- giant sense of humor and something else ... even bigger.

Seventy-three unproduced screenplays comprise this year’s Black List, an annual ranking of well-regarded scripts that have yet to make the leap from page to screen. More than 250 executives in the film industry voted on this year’s edition, and their consensus is that Elyse Hollander’s Madonna biopic “Blond Ambition” is the “most liked” of them.

Previous screenplays that have appeared on the Black List and gone on to be produced include “Spotlight,” “Arrival” and “Manchester by the Sea.” Full list below:

“Blond Ambition” by Elyse Hollander (48)

“Life Itself” by Dan Fogelman (35)

“The Olympian” by Tony Tost (35)

“The Post” by Liz Hannah (35)

“Voyagers” by Zach Dean (28)

“In the Blink of an Eye” by Colby Day (25)

“O2” by Christie LeBlan (22)

“Untitled Lax Mandis Project” by Seth Spector (22)

“Dark Money” by Matt Fruchtman (21)

“Letters from Rosemary Kennedy” by Nick Yarborough (21)

“Linda and Monica” by Flint Wainess (20)

Mindy Kaling, Tonya Harding, Madonna, and Lax Mandis—not to be confused with Max Landis—all make appearances in one way or another on this year’s Black List, the annual collection of Hollywood film executives’ favorite unproduced screenplays. However, Kaling’s contribution, an untitled script about women in late-night comedy, is well on the way to becoming a reality with Emma Thompson attached. The same goes for Steven Rogers’ take on the Harding saga, I, Tonya, which Margot Robbie has boarded. Meanwhile, This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman also pops up on the list with Life Itself, another multigenerational story bound to make you weep that will star Oscar Isaac.

The entries on the Black List are ranked by how many mentions they received, and the most by far went to Elyse Hollander’s Blond Ambition, which purports to tell the tale of Madonna in the ’80s before she...

After Fox revisited “The X-Files,” TheWrap looks at other TV reboots that never should’ve happened. “Charlie’s Angels” “Charlie’s Angels” perfectly captured the goofiness of the ’70s, but it felt painfully out of date in 2011. Critics and audiences agreed: It was canceled after three episodes. “Ironside” Blair Underwood has done some memorable TV work, starting with his career-making role on “L.A.

The party has gotta end sometime ... and for the sport of volleyball, it's Lights Out  ... so says C. Thomas Howell -- who starred in one of the most famous volleyball movies ever!  Howell -- who starred in "Side Out" twenty five years ago -- was leaving Lax when he told us the sport bit the dust in the '90s ... along with Walkmen and pagers. Btw, Howell's "Side Out" co-star Peter Horton went on to...

Had these pilots been given the green light, we might have been without Breaking Bad, 24, Hannibal, Community and more…

It’s not all grumble and moan round here when TV networks decline to pick up pilots. Sometimes, we’re even grateful.

Hindsight teaches that every so often, passing on a particular show is the best thing a channel could have done. Not ordering one pilot to series spurs its creators on to start another, and frees up its cast to join new projects.

Had the failures below all thrived, there’s a chance we could now be living in a world with no Breaking Bad, Hannibal, or even South Park. Had these pilots gone on to enjoy healthy, lengthy lives, then Jack Bauer, Oberyn Martell, Chandler Bing and more might all be unrecognisable today.

Here then, are the TV pilots we’re grateful weren’t taken to series because their...

The Party Report’s early picks of the prestigious, unique and special gatherings at the festival. Look for these intimate invites in your inbox

Despite causing agita throughout the industry for threatening not to circulate his annual “Sundance Party List” for talent, publicists and media — Chris Ryan’s encyclopedic tome is forthcoming and will be likely forwarded several times by the time you’re reading this post.

This is not that list.

Instead of a comprehensive treatise, I’ve picked the intimate, special and the unique gatherings of the creative community and people who make Sundance scene special and so broadly popular,...

Celebs always look stylish when they hit the red carpet, but only a true fashionista can transition her style from Hollywood glam to everyday chic!Khloe Kardashian flaunted her assets out in Los Angeles on Monday, sporting a black Tamara Mellon jumpsuit and black Balmain sandals. The reality star paired her glamorous look with the Celine trapeze bag, aviators and chunky gold hoop earrings. Steal Koko’s style with this H&M jumpsuit, these Cynthia Vincent heels, this Forever 21 purse, Jenni Black sunnies and these door knocker earrings.

Screenwriter Graham Yost, now the showrunner of FX’s Justified, admits that the plot of Speed sounds ridiculous: A bomb on a bus will detonate if the bus travels below 50 mph. But when the movie was released June 10, 1994, a funny thing happened: It became a hit with moviegoers and critics alike. To quote EW’s grade-a review: “The film takes off from formula elements – it’s yet another variation on Die Hard – but it manipulates those elements so skillfully, with such a canny mixture of delirium and restraint, that I walked out of the picture with the rare sensation that...

Making her way back to the West Coast, Jenna Dewan-Tatum showed up at Lax International Airport on Thursday evening (July 25).

The “Step Up” actress carried her newborn daughter Everly Tatum in a chest-mounted sling as a beefy bodyguard closely watched over them.

Jenna has been hard at work on her new show “Witches of East End” up in Vancouver, Canada as of late, so it’s good to see her taking a break.

Meanwhile, hubby Channing Tatum just announced that his “Magic Mike” film will become a musical. He tweeted, “Yes, Magic Mike, The Musical is headed to Broadway.”...

Channing Tatum showed off his muscles in a tank top to pay his wife, Jenna Dewan, a visit on the set of her TV show, Witches of East End, in Vancouver on Friday. Jenna's back to work after giving birth to her and Channing's first child, Everly, in London on May 31. She has been keeping a busy filming schedule lately, and Jenna showed off her postbaby body in a tight lace tank top while on set last week. The family made the trek to Vancouver together with Channing cradling Everly in his arms as they flew out of Lax with Jenna earlier this month. He's reciprocating the support for his wife's work as she did for him earlier this year by relocating to London, where she gave birth to Everly, while Channing filmed Jupiter Ascending in the Spring. Not only did they recently mark the milestone of becoming new parents,...

Jenna Dewan gave a peek at her newborn baby girl, Everly Tatum, during an outing in La on Saturday. Everly has made her way to the Us after being born in London on May 31. She was safe in the arms of her mom for the outing over the weekend, but it was doting dad Channing Tatum who cradled his new daughter close to catch a flight out of Lax on Sunday. This is the second glimpse we've gotten of Jenna and Channing's firstborn since the new parents also shared her first photo on their Facebook pages in celebration of Channing's first Father's Day back in June.

Channing Tatum cradled his newborn daughter, Everly, in her carrier as he made his way through Lax on Sunday. He was accompanied by his wife, Jenna Dewan, who gave birth to their first child on May 31 in London, as she showed off her postbaby body in a pair of tight jeans for the family travels. Although baby Everly's face was hidden under a blanket, Channing and Jenna shared the first picture of their daughter on their Facebook pages on Father's Day. Channing's back with his girls after a busy promotional tour for his Summer film, White House Down. He made stops in Washington DC and NYC to premiere the action flick, and we caught up with Channing during his press day in the capital to chat about his big new role as a father. View Slideshow ›...

Channing Tatum is killing us with these adorable family photos. The White House Down actor arrived at Lax airport with wife Jenna Dewan on Sunday, donning gray sweatshorts and a long sleeved shirt, along with some seriously precious cargo—newborn daughter Everly! The new dad held his baby girl close in a sling while the couple made their way through airport security. Wife Jenna was nearby sporting sunglasses and a fedora as she held their dog, a Spitz named Meeka. This family is too cute!

The end of the world as we know it feels more than fine if you party with James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jay Barachel, Craig Robinson, Danny McBride and a ton of other La hipsters. After Seth picks up his old pal Jay at Lax (with the paparazzi taking notice) they eventually end up at Franco's cool pad. Then the rapture hits. Yep, This Is the End is a Bible-inspired cautionary tale about living the Hollywood life. While the good folks at a convenience store get zapped up to heaven via a blue beam, all the guests at Franco's get left behind. If you thought this would be so dumb it's funny, like Franco versus McBride in a filth-off funny, you'd be right. Monsters, bad CGI and plenty of decapitations give the...

Before she was an Oscar winner, Octavia Spencer was a character actress, making regular guest star appearances on shows like "The Wizards of Waverly Place" and "Ugly Betty" ... and even auditioning for the role of Donna on "Parks and Recreation."

When Retta -- the actress who got the part on the beloved NBC comedy -- was asked how she transitioned from standup to "Parks and Rec," she said, "My manager called and said they were casting a pilot. Octavia Spencer and a lot of other of my 'types' were there."

Prior to her Academy Award-winning role in "The Help," Spencer also appeared in episodes of "Lax," "The X-Files," "ER" and "The Big Bang Theory." Post-Oscar, she also appeared in the final season of "30 Rock" as herself.

Rainn Wilson recently revealed famous names who auditioned for key roles on "The Office" before the show was cast, including Adam Scott for Jim,...

Channing Tatum and his wife, Jenna Dewan, had to go their separate ways yesterday. Channing Tatum took off from Lax for a trip to NYC, while pregnant Jenna Dewan took a yoga class and went furniture shopping in West Hollywood. Channing and Jenna are expecting their first child this Summer, and are gearing up for the big life change. In a recent interview, Channing talked about being a dad, saying, "That [will] be the biggest role of my life. I hope I don't screw that one up." For now, though, Channing's busy promoting his next film, Side Effects, ahead of its Feb. 8 release. His castmates Jude Law and Rooney Mara attended a screening of the film last night in NYC. The screening was followed by a Q&A session with the director, Steven Soderbergh, who also directed Channing in Magic Mike. View Slideshow ›...

Franklin & Bash have a new partner.

Heather Locklear is joining the TNT drama as a series regular for the show’s upcoming third season. The sexy TV veteran will play Rachel King, “a stunning trial lawyer, with stiletto heels and clothes tailored within an inch of their life.” King comes on board as a new partner at Jared Franklin (Breckin Meyer) and Peter Bash’s (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) law firm, making life more interesting.

Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan were side by side last night as they headed through Lax. The pair boarded a flight for NYC, where they're expected to participate in a fun charity event tomorrow at Carnegie Hall. Channing and Jenna will take the stage at the Revlon Concert for the Rainforest Fund, along with Meryl Streep, Sting, Elton John, James Taylor, Jennifer Hudson, and Bruno Mars. Channing and Jenna may sing, as the event's theme is "Songs From the Silver Screen." The couple, who met while making the dance flick Step Up, will also show off their moves. They've apparently been practicing, as Jenna recently posted a photo of her and Channing dancing at a studio. Channing has a brief break in his moviemaking schedule, but plans for one of his next projects are coming together. He's set to star in Jupiter Ascending, and Mila Kunis may have a role as his leading lady.

Anyone who became addicted to HBO’s horse racing drama Luck — which the net elected to cancel on Wednesday — should get some closure in the next two weeks. The ninth and final episode that is set to air on March 25 has the feel of finale, even though it wasn’t necessarily designed to be the series’ last, EW has learned.

And HBO will still release the entire first season on DVD. The only lingering question is whether the scenes that were shot during Luck’s final days will be added as extras: The drama from David Milch and Michael Mann...

Despite rumors he's quitting ... TMZ has learned, "Dancing with the Stars" pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy is Coming Back To The Show -- and we got the video to prove it!!!Maksim touched down in Lax yesterday for his first practice -- he didn't say much ... but as soon as he landed, guy made a beeline for an L.A. dance studio ... where he met with Melissa Gilbert -- one of the stars on the upcoming season.

Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan returned to the West Coast yesterday and shared a sweet kiss while waiting for their car outside of Lax. The pair spent a few days in NYC, where Jenna joined the crowds taking in the latest designs on the runway. She caught a presentation from Miu Miu and then joined Stacy Keibler and Bar Refaeli on the front row to check out Marchesa's Fall 2012 collection. Channing and Jenna's Pda is a routine sighting lately, and the pair have lots to be happy about. Channing's latest film, The Vow, took the top spot at the box office last weekend and earned an additional $11.6 million on Valentine's Day. His upcoming comedy 21 Jump Street is also getting early rave reviews. Channing shares the big screen with Jonah Hill in the buddy flick, due out March 16, which is loosely based on Johnny Depp's popular '80s TV show.

Channing Tatum planted a sweet kiss on Jenna Dewan's nose while they waited for a flight at Lax yesterday. The couple were headed to NYC, where Jenna has already gotten in on the Fashion Week fun with a stop by Rachel Roy's presentation. It was a big weekend for Channing since his The Vow was number one at the box office after an impressive opening against Safe House and Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. Jenna showed support for her man on Twitter, saying "And congrats to my love Channing Tatum on a Record Breaking box office weekend! Amazing!" If you haven't seen the movie yet, make sure to check out reviews for The Vow! Channing will be back on the big screen next month, when his remake of 21 Jump Street with Jonah Hill hits theaters.

Welcome to our live blog of the 2012 Golden Globe Awards where myself and Laremy Legel will be providing running commentary and up-to-the-minute winner announcements over the course of nearly five straight hours of Golden Globe excitement.

It seems like celebrities being kicked off of airplanes is becoming as synonymous to air travel as those hard-to-open bags of peanuts, tiny bathrooms, annoying Captain spiels, and cliched jokes about the perils of flying.

On Tuesday, Alec Baldwin joined the growing list of stars who have been booted from planes. But Baldwin’s exit might be the best one yet, or at the very least, the most relatable considering a game of Words With Friends got him in trouble with American Airlines. The 30 Rock actor told his followers on Twitter, “Flight attendant on American reamed me out 4 playing Words...

We can’t help but wonder if it’s because of all of the buzz that FX’s American Horror Story has received since its pilot preview last week, but the word is that NBC has ordered a script of Frankenstein. Universal owns the intellectual property rights to the story.

It will be written by Russel Friend and Garrett Lerner, executive producers for House. Other writing credits for the two include John Doe, Roswell and Smallville, as well as Lax and Boston Public. Ok, there’s some promise of intelligent writing, which is excellent news.

THR, who broke the story, say the script is “described as a modern-day take on the legend of Frankenstein”. Ah, but which version? The original novel, or the Boris Karloff movie? Not surprisingly, the movie took all the scary bits and left all the beauty and lyricism and most of the plot development on the page.

"My life and biz is so intertwined in every way that it's hard to make that clean separation on and offline." That's what Candace Alper (@NameYourTuneCDs) said on Twitter when I asked about the importance of separating your personal and business life on Facebook. As an entrepreneur who runs a made-to-order children's CD company, she is comfortable mixing business with pleasure online. Monica Roddey (@MicaR) agrees. She says "my online persona = my 'real life' persona ... what you see is what you get."

I fall into Alper's and Roddey's camp. When I signed up for Facebook years ago, I opened it up to anyone and everyone. Although I now also maintain a fan page, it's still hard for me to refuse friend invites that make their way into my personal account. However, the majority of the responses I received disagreed with this approach. Matt Hall (@mattwiter) writes that "you simply don't...

John Mark Galecki, better known to the world as Johnny Galecki and the star of Big Bang Theory (TV), was born on April 30, 1975, to Richard and Mary Lou Galecki. Dad was a U.S. Air Force officer stationed in Belgium and mom was a mortgage consultant. At the age of three, Johnny and his family, which also includes sister Allison and brother Nick, relocated back to the United States, setting in Oak Park, Illinois. Galecki, who quit school in the middle of eighth grade, moved with his family from Chicago to Long Beach, California, when he was 14. When the family decided that they missed Chicago too much, they all moved back to Chicago. Well, not all of them. Galecki, then just 14, settled into a studio apartment in Burbank. On his own at 14? "On my own, yeah," Galecki told TimeOut Chicago a couple of years ago. "It made sense at the time.

The makers of the Underworld franchise are serious about continuing the war between lycans and death dealers on. Producers Gary Lucchesi, Tom Rosenberg and Richard Wright, as well as original Underworld director Len Wiseman, have hired John Hlavin to pen the story for movie #4. Hlavin served as a story editor on The Shield, the cop procedural series that starred Michael Chiklis. Hlavin also worked on shows like Daybreak, E-Ring and Lax, so he's not a newbie to the scene.

But it might shape up that the next Underworld movie won't have any of the stars associated with the first three films. In short, there may be no Kate Beckinsale and no Rhona Mitra since there's no signed contracts for either actress. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, the writer told the outlet that Underworld 4 won't be a prequel like Rise of the Lycans. "It will satisfy old fans and excite new audiences,...

In 1992, Executive Producer Aaron Spelling’s latest soap-drama Melrose Place was lacking some serious ratings sizzle. Heather Locklear was recruited to play the stiletto heeled, micro-mini wearing maneater, Amanda Woodward. The character stirred things up in the boardroom (at D&D advertising agency) and in the bedroom.

Almost overnight, ratings climbed, and Locklear was credited with a 22% rise in ratings, according to Entertainment Weekly. Originally hired for a guest starring stint, Locklear remained on the show throughout its 7 year run, and her character’s bitchy persona and questionable board-room attire provided fodder for countless water cooler chats.

Later, Locklear appeared on Spin City, Scrubs, and Two and Half Men. All three shows saw a bump in ratings as well (”The Locklear Effect”, so to speak). Her 2004 series Lax didn’t fare as well, though, and was quickly canceled.

Flash forward 17 years, and the CW network is hoping Locklear can work her magic once again.
