Raising awareness and funds when it comes to fighting breast cancer is only half the battle. Tonight's TV movie on Lifetime, Living Proof, shows that for the doctors and scientists working on a cure, the fight has just begun.

Starring Harry Connick Jr., Living Proof "is the true story of oncologist and researcher Dr. Dennis Slamon, the UCLA doctor who helped develop the breast cancer drug Herceptin, and his effort to keep the drug trials afloat."

Based on the clips I've watched, Dr. Slamon faced down messy politics and sacrificed a great deal to help women suffering from breast cancer, so it seems like an inspiring true story to air during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The movie also stars Bernadette Peters, Amanda Bynes, Angie Harmon, Swoosie Kurtz, Tammy Blanchard and Regina King, and Renée Zellweger is one of the executive producers.

Below I've included some preview clips, including a chat with Connick Jr. about the film and a taste of an original song he wrote for this project. Living Proof airs tonight at 9:00 p.m. (but check your local listings). To see the clips, read more

• Enemy of the ratings? My Own Worst Enemy had a solid but not stellar premiere on Monday, with 7.3 million viewers.
• Rating the Runway. Project Runway pulled in 4.8 million viewers for its finale on Wednesday night. That's down from both the season four (5.2 million) and season three (5.4) million finales — but neither of them went up against a presidential debate. (Bravo says 7.2 million people watched at least one of the three airings on Wednesday.)
• Speaking of that debate ... The final presidential debate was down from debate No. 2, scoring 56.5 million viewers (versus 63.2 million for the last debate) across 11 networks.
• Who? Samantha Who? fans may be suffering from a bit of amnesia themselves, as its season premiere drew 11.7 million viewers — a healthy number, but down about 3 million from its series premiere last year.
• Return of Eli. Eli Stone averaged 8.8 million viewers for its premiere — but the problem for the show is that a lot of them left at the halfway mark. The first half-hour had 10 million viewers, but only 7.5 million of them were left by the middle of the show.

• Well Project Runway aired its finale this week. What did you think of the winner? Was this winner the best of all the PR winners ever? How'd this season stack up against the rest?
• Now that Project Runway is over, my Wednesday night TV-watching lineup will have to be readjusted. This week I asked you what would be your ideal night of TV.
• Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was out on DVD this week and I wondered, did we really need a fourth movie, after all?
• There were a few "haunting" trailers out this week to get us all in the mood for Halloween, including The Haunting of Molly Hartley and The Haunting in Connecticut.
• In fun music news I put together a Motown mix that you might enjoy and posted a cute new Robyn video.
• Oh, and speaking of music, how are you feeling about the new size of Rolling Stone Magazine?
• I love the idea of Steve Martin, Alec Baldwin and Meryl Streep in a movie together, and I also love any news that includes Daily Show correspondents getting their own TV show.
• Speaking of awesome people on TV, who's your favorite character on TV right now? Blair Waldorf? Don Draper? Chuck Bartowski? All of the above — and more?
• Bored? Get a load of these fun viral videos that made me chuckle all week. Happy weekend!

The first glimpse of Marley & Me allowed us to watch a ridiculously cute puppy run on the beach. That actually seemed to satisfy many of us, but now we've got a real trailer for the movie, starring Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson, and we get to see the puppy do more things! Like chew on stuff and run into doors and spill dog food everywhere. From the trailer it appears that the whole story revolves around this couple chasing after Marley, "the world's worst dog."

That furry little scamp makes me laugh. Not much else about the trailer is very noteworthy, but the dogs playing Marley are worth the watch. Marley & Me opens Dec. 25. To check out the trailer, read more
