by Oliver Miller, posted Oct 28th 2010 5:33AM
'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.
Molly Ringwald's Beauty Experiment Gone Wrong on 'Chelsea Lately' (VIDEO)
by Aimee Deeken, posted May 4th 2010 4:04AM
Though consistently stylish and secure for decades -- since her teen-idol days in the '80s -- Molly Ringwald has in truth had the occasional fashion crisis, she revealed on 'Chelsea Lately' (weeknights, 11PM ET on E!). And it wasn't just a bad hair day or an ensemble gone wrong.
Judd Nelson Plays a Quirky Doc on 'Psych' (VIDEO)
by Jane Boursaw, posted Feb 18th 2010 8:07AM
We'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.

by Lauren Metz, posted Nov 19th 2009 12:43PM
Teens in couples therapy, teens with a baby, teens breaking up because one's pressuring the other to have sex. -- holy high school drama!
Well, get ready to see a whole lot more of it, because 'The Secret Life of the American Teenager' is coming back a week earlier than expected, says the Hollywood Reporter.
The show -- which was originally scheduled to return on January 11 -- will now premiere Mon., Jan. 4, 8PM on ABC Family. Better yet: 12 new episodes have been ordered, which means there's plenty of nasty hallway glares to come.
Secret Life of the American Teenager: Par for the Course - open thread
by Bob Sassone, posted Jul 7th 2009 8:01AM

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
Last 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?

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.
Molly Ringwald Interview for 'The Secret Life of the American Teenager'
by Kim Potts, posted Jun 30th 2008 6:00AM
"I think there are definitely a lot of people who would love to see a 'Sixteen Candles' sequel." To Gen Xers, she'll forever be an iconic '80s teen, but -- surprise! -- 'Breakfast Club' star Molly Ringwald is 40-years-old now.
So, in ABC Family's new drama 'Secret Life of the American Teenager' (premiering July 1, 8 PM ET) she's the mom to a 15-year-old band geek who ends up pregnant after a one-night stand.
Ringwald talked to AOL TV about her series' controversial storyline, and which of her beloved movies might be headed for a sequel.
Paul Gleason dead at 67
by Annie Wu, posted May 29th 2006 7:51AM
It'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
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.
