TV Stars Who Have Dated Their Co-Stars
30 December 2011 10:08 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Debra Messing may be hooking up with her "Smash" co-star Will Chase, but she's hardly the only TV star to find love on set. Back in 2003, sparks flew for co-stars Rachel Bilson and Adam Brody on the set of "The Oc," and who could ever forget Joanie (Erin Moran) and Chachi's (Scott Baio) real-life romance that was worthy of a spin-off?
Plus, only in the world of TV is it ever acceptable to fall in love with your small-screen brother. Just ask Katherine Heigl, who dated her "Roswell" on-screen sibling Jason Behr in 2000. Meanwhile, Lauren Graham and her current boyfriend Peter Krause, who plays her TV brother Adam Braverman on "Parenthood," have been spotted vacationing in Venice together.
Take a look at some of these other TV stars who have found love on set. »

Chase, 41, is currently divorcing his stage actress wife Stephanie Gibson, after splitting this month.

Debra Messing dating 'Smash' costar Will Chase?
29 December 2011 4:22 PM, PST | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
Debra Messing and husband Daniel Zelman are undergoing a separation -- despite still living together for the sake of their 7-year-old son -- so it makes sense that she would be stepping out with someone new.
But according to People, that someone has just as complicated a love life as she does.
An insider tells the magazine that Messing has been dating Will Chase, her costar in NBC's upcoming musical drama "Smash," for six weeks now.
"It all happened very fast and it's a difficult situation," the source says, referring to the fact that Chase is also going through a separation. His rep confirmed to People that he and Broadway star Stephanie Gibson are getting a divorce.
Despite their separation, Messing and Zelman's rep says the pair aren't planning a divorce just yet.
Messing plays a songwriter composing a Marilyn Monroe musical on "Smash," which premieres on NBC Feb. 6. »

Morning Meme: "Modern Family: The Revenge," Al Roker's Man Candy, and Debra Messing Dips Her Quill Into Company Ink

If the year belonged to anyone, it belonged to Ryan Gosling, who seemed to be everywhere, making movies, giving interviews, even breaking up street fights. These are his greatest hits.
I was truly taken by the horrible customer relations nightmare that Ocean Marketing caused for itself, and really impressed at how Penny Arcade stepped up to defend the customer. Now it's become a full-fledged meme, and Paul is off the account. But maybe Mike at Penny Arcade enjoyed it just a bit too much? Or not.
Mitt Romney isn't as bad as most Republicans, at least on most issues. While the majority of the presidential candidates favor abolishing PBS and NPR, he just wants to cut off federal funding and add commercials to Sesame Street. To sell toys, which will help the economy. Or something.

In this behind-the-scenes video from Playbill.com, you can see (and hear) series stars Katharine McPhee and Megan Hilty sing Rihanna's song, "Cheers (I'll Drink To That)" in New York City's Times Square.
"Smash," which also stars Debra Messing and Anjelica Huston, follows the creation of a Broadway musical, "Marilyn," based on the life of film legend Marilyn Monroe. Theater and TV veteran Theresa Rebeck ("Law & Order: Criminal Intent") and Broadway and film producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron ("Chicago," "How to Succeed In Business Without Really Trying") are helping steer the ship that could be the big hit NBC needs.
"'Glee' hast to get a lot of credit," Zadan says in the video. "Because if it wasn't for 'Glee,' it wouldn't have broken that ground. »

"Extra" correspondent Aj Calloway visited the set of "Smash," dishing with stars Debra Messing and Katherine McPhee about their new NBC musical series, executive produced by Steven Spielberg.
It's a cross between "Rocky" and "Glee," explained Messing. "'Glee' only because there's singing it. But there's definitely a 'Rocky' element to it because there's two women vying for the role of Marilyn Monroe, and you don't know who's going to get it."
