Actor Jon Cryer Discusses Being a Straight 'Gay Icon''Two and a Half Men' star Jon Cryer appeared on 'Lopez Tonight' (weeknights, 11PM ET on TBS), and talked about one of his most iconic roles, Duckie in 'Pretty in Pink.'

Just in time for the 25th anniversary of the classic 1980s film, Cryer tackled the issue of Duckie's sexuality.

Many viewers assumed Duckie was homosexual -- even co-star Molly Ringwald felt the same way about the character. However, Cryer set the record straight: he's not gay, and he never thought Duckie was.

Judd Nelson Plays a Quirky Doc on 'Psych' (VIDEO)

Psych, Judd NelsonWe'll always think of Judd Nelson as the "the criminal" who stole Molly Ringwald's heart (and a few other things) on 'The Breakfast Club.'

But now he's all grown up and showing his quirky side as a kooky doctor on 'Psych' (Wed., 10PM ET on USA). We hope his wish to dissect Shawn's temporal lobe doesn't come to pass. We're ok with the DNA part, though.

Now if only he'd show up on 'The Secret Life of the American Teenager' so he can steal Ringwald's heart again.

Watch the video after the jump.

Secret Life of the American Teenager: Par for the Course - open thread

Secret Life of the American Teenager
The other night I was watching a special on BBC America about all of the pregnant girls in the Gloucester, MA (where I was born) high school. That has nothing to do with this show, of course, but every time I see a show about a pregnant teen I think of that real-life story. I'm waiting for the inevitable movie that Lifetime will make about the situation.

Last night's episode of The Secret Life of the American Teenager was about how Ben's preoccupation with sex is causing trouble with Amy. More than the trouble it has already caused, that is. Yo, Adrian!

Secret Life of the American Teenager: The Big One (season premiere) - open thread

by Bob Sassone, posted Jun 23rd 2009 10:27AM
Secret Life of the American TeenagerLast night was the second season premiere of The Secret Life of the American Teenager, a show that's really superficial. That's not me saying that, it's Tom Shales at the Washington Post, who says that the show is "an unabashed throwback to soaps of ages past" and one that "makes no attempt to camouflage artifice and superficiality." And I think he likes the show (though it sounds like he hasn't watched a soap opera since 1976).

What did you think of the season opener?

by Kim Potts, posted Aug 4th 2008 10:05AM
Whatever happened to Tootie, Blair, Natalie and the other Eastland girls?

Quick -- how many '80s sitcoms can you name that featured three future Oscar winners amongst their cast and crew?

We're not talking about 'Charles in Charge;' it's 'The Facts of Life,' the 1979-1988 boarding school comedy that gave us wise-crackin' teens, a roller-skatin' Tootie and that trio of Oscar-caliber talent.

Who were those Academy Award-worthy 'Life'-ers? Read on.

Paul Gleason dead at 67

by Annie Wu, posted May 29th 2006 7:51AM
Paul GleasonIt's not often that a celebrity obituary throws me into such a sudden shock that I can't do anything but stare blankly at the screen for several minutes. Well, this is one of them. Actor Paul Gleason passed away on Saturday from a rare form of asbestos-related lung cancer. He was 67 years-old. Gleason has appeared in various television roles, but he's probably most recognized as the vicious Principal Vernon from The Breakfast Club. The film has a very special place in my heart because when my friends and I have to dress up in costume for something, we always go as the Club (and I'm always the Basketcase).

This news is really quite upsetting. Time for me to break the news to the rest of my Breakfast Club.

Molly Ringwald to guest on Medium

by Joel Keller, posted Apr 11th 2006 8:40PM
Molly RingwaldWhen I was in high school, I had a thing for redheads (I think it was because I had a long unrequited crush on this girl Tracy, who just happened to be the only person ahead of me academically in my class... oh, it's a long painful story that I'll tell one day... for profit). So, in the entertainment world of the mid-eighties, that meant that I lusted after the same two girls every other ginger-crazed teen did: Allison Smith and Molly Ringwald. I haven't seen a lot of either lately (and judging by the most recent shots of Allison, if I had seen her, I wouldn't recognize her).

Indeed, the last time Molly did TV was in a TNT movie in 2002. But in May, she'll come back to TV in an episode of Medium. She'll play some woman in distress that Patricia Arquette's character will use her psychic powers to help. It really doesn't matter; I'll probably just tune in to see Molly. Or not; I'm a little more into brunettes these days.
