Tampon ads are filled with euphemisms, and feature women in varying shades of white frolicking outdoors. Nobody knows their secret, and really that's all anyone's ever asked of a tampon.

"Gilmore Girls" isn't the only long-running show saying goodbye this season. "The King of Queens" wrapped up nine years on the air on Monday, and "7th Heaven" completed its 11-year run on Sunday. "The O.C." ended after four seasons earlier this year, and NBC isn't bringing "Crossing Jordan" back for a seventh season. So it seems like the right time to ask: Which long-running, now-canceled show Read more
I admit there was a time in my life when I was a wee bit obsessed with "7th Heaven." Sure, there was very little realistic about the Camdens, but their sappy sweetness was comforting, in a way. So I'm glad that things will be ending well for the Rev and his family when the series wraps up tonight. Yes, the show also had a series finale last year before the newly formed CW decided to bring it Read more

Among the other casualties: "The Black Donnellys," which might only get to air two more episodes, and "7th Heaven," which is being canceled (supposedly for real this time). According to Variety, the networks said low ratings were Read more

When we think Jessica Biel, we think street-styled tomboy with major sex appeal. Since her days on 7th Heaven, the actress has grown into her role in the spotlight, taking red carpets in couture — with beau (and rumored fiancé) Justin Timberlake on her arm. In honor of Jess's 30th birthday, we're celebrating with a style tribute; from the actress's early days, heading to film premieres in Read more
Josh Groban makes his debut as Andy Bernard's little brother, Walter Jr., on this week's episode of The Office. Groban took the time to talk to reporters about his new character, the rivalry between Walter Jr. and his older brother, and why he sometimes wishes the Bernard family patriarch, Stephen Collins, was his actual father. Plus, he filled us in on how he landed the gig. Walter Jr. Stole Read more
The Vampire Diaries is back! The series marked its return with a birthday party, a highly anticipated sex scene, and a sadistic new personality for Stefan. While Elena and Damon are left in Mystic Falls, Stefan is off gallivanting as Klaus's puppet, partying it up and dismembering the occasional Southern belle. While we didn't get to see much heat between Damon and Elena (aside from a Read more
