The possibly canceled Lipstick Jungle.
Lipstick Jungle was canceled late last week, according to online reports. Lipstick Jungle wasn't canceled late last week, according to Lipstick Jungle star Brooke Shields. Shields spoke out against what was generally regarded as truth, and either someone is keeping her out of the loop or she's on to something.
Fans have expressed disappointment in the show's cancellation, but Shields told US Magazine that their tears may be premature.
"They thought that because My Own Worst Enemy has been shut down that the same thing had happened to us, and it's not true," Shields said in New York. "They're not breaking down the sets. We're still working. We still have more to do, so it's erroneously presented that we've been cancelled, thank God."
Lipstick costar Kim Raver also said the show hasn't been canceled yet, but if it was, she'd be devastated.
Variety initially cited sources as saying Lipstick was done, but nothing ever officially came down from NBC. (Coincidentally, nothing official ever came down about My Own Worst Enemy--networks don't like to admit when they've failed.) NBC had not responded to TV.com's requests for comment as of press time.
This seems to be a "they said, she said" situation, but given Brooke Shields' status on the show, we're leaning toward her side--though we wouldn't be surprised if the cancellation is a slow process and comes to pass fairly soon.
In the meantime, fans of Lipstick Jungle can help campaign to save the show by sending in lipstick (clever!) to NBC. Personally, I think sending in jungles would make a bigger impression. Save Lindsay Price--I mean Lipstick Jungle!
We'll keep you updated on Lipstick's situation as it develops. [UPDATE] NBC has confirmed that the show has NOT been cancelled, the reason being because of Lipstick's DVR (Tivos and such) performance. According to The New York Times, more than half of the show's audience doesn't tune in live, but rather watches it at their own leisure from their digital video recorders. NBC chief Ben Silverman said all 13 finished episodes will air, and that he may order more Lipstick Jungle if the show continues to grow.

I really hope this is true. I actually want Lipstick Jungle to end appropriately.
Brooke, all those fumes from those Volkswagen commercials may have fuzzed your memory. We'll see if this show is dead or not, however, Revlon, Cover girl and others must really be profiting from the fans.
Well that's good news then, congrats fans
wow... bravo to the fans that saved it
Congrats to the fans of the show.
Excelent!!!!
pheeew!!!....
thankfully it's not cancelled i love this show.
another stupid show still on air
only watched a few minutes was bored
If it's because of the DVR ratings, then CBS should've done the same with Jericho!! Idiots.
Who ever said that this is like Sex And The City...they are WRONG. Sex and the City was a Sex comedy, Lipstick Jungle is Drama. Come on people. It has a great plot, storyline and cast. The wardrobe is awesome and this is the best drama on Friday night! Come on NBC, get with the program. Dump Kath and Kim and Give us more Lipstick Jungle!!!!
Well I hope it's not cancelled... There will be too many shows I like getting cancelled this season as is with the thought that Pushing Daisies is probably going to go under.
She sounds like the captain of a sinking ship, the last person to acknowledge reality. The move to Friday night & the ratings struggle have already put this show out of its misery.
hope its true for their sake..i can take it or leave it
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!! KEEP IT ON!!!
I love this show!!!!! Please save it!!!!!
It looks like Brooke has become senile with old age it's been canned good riddance this show is like Sex in the city never happened oh wait it did.......
I guess Brooke is entitled to say whatever she wants, be interesing to see what comes of this. Either way, it does not affect me.
i REALLY hope it is cancelled.
I hope it Is cancelled.
It's a shame. I actually like this show. I'd like to know for sure one way or the other whether it will carry on.

Well she's in for a shock when it turns out it is cancelled. If I worked on that show right now I'd be on the phone to my agent trying to find a new job because the show will end this season. NBC need to scrap most of their shows and start over to be honest.
Please: Somebody get Christian Slater saying things like this about My Own Worst Enemy.
thank god!
This is why there are suppose to be official reports.
Makes you wonder what kind of news stories you can trust now.
God, please let this show die.
EVERYONE needs to watch on FRIDAY NIGHT!!!
Thanks for the Update this is amazing news!!!! Lets keep the ladies rolling!!!!
Great News!!!! :):)
