Tidbits: Chris Brown taking a break from dating

Given that his last romance ended with a sentence of six months of community labor and five years probation, it’s no surprise that singer Chris Brown hasn’t been lucky in love lately. Just don’t get the wrong idea. Any dating dry spell since Brown’s February attack on ex-girlfriend Rihanna is strictly due his choice to “chill,” rather than a lack of willing women.

Reality TV scandals aren’t just on the screen

5Top: TV shows that survived a star’s exit

Carrying on after a cast member exits is standard protocol on “ER,” but losing George Clooney amounted to more than de rigueur revolving door action for the hospital drama. When Clooney’s on-screen alter ego, Doug Ross, pulled up stakes in season five, it packed a punch. Dr. Doug was the perfect combination of compassionate pediatrician and dashing bad-boy rule-breaker. Couple that with the fact that he was knee-deep in the major storylines at the time, including his impending parenthood with Carol Hathaway (played by soon-to-follow “ER” exile Julianna Margulies), well, it was no wonder diehard fans mourned the loss the resident hunk when Clooney left to pursue his A-list career. Still, with the show’s hefty drama to ensemble ratio, those fans didn’t tune out.
