In real life, Reid Scott may be a nice guy, but he's having the time of his life these days playing Dan Egan, a rising Washington hotshot who specializes in bending the rules to fix problems for the U.S. vice president on HBO's new Sunday sitcom "Veep."
"Dan is incredibly fun to play," Scott tells Zap2it, laughing. "He's a Machiavellian, ladder-climbing snake-in-the-grass kind of guy, who may or may not have a heart. We haven't really decided yet. But he has become this sort of outlet where I can exorcise my own demons in being vicious, silver-tongued and mean."
Scott himself didn't need to break any rules when he fell in love with acting while attending prep school in upstate New York. "I happened to have this one incredible teacher who ran a ramshackle drama department, which was kind of the one creative outlet at this Catholic military school, »

Jennie Garth is starting over in many ways, and she's inviting viewers along for her reboot.
The former "Beverly Hills, 90210" and "What I Like About You" star -- and ex-"Dancing With the Stars" contestant -- has been prominent in entertainment news headlines lately for her pending divorce from actor Peter Facinelli ("Twilight," "Nurse Jackie").
Paralleling the separation is her move with her three daughters to a central California farm, detailed by Country Music Television as the unscripted series "Jennie Garth: A Little Bit Country" premieres Friday, April 20.
"I like to think of this as an 'alternate reality' show, because my life is like an alternate reality most of the time," Garth tells Zap2it. "I didn't think I would be talking about my separation or my divorce, but I decided to share my experience with people because I feel I want to help other women. I want to take the secrecy out of this. »

Amanda Bynes and Lindsay Lohan have a lot in common -- both are formerly successful child-turned-teen stars whose careers fizzled as they hit adulthood.
Now with Bynes' recent DUI, the similarities between the two actresses are even more apparent, but RadarOnline reports the "What I Like About You" star is telling friends she shouldn't be compared to Lohan, who has a long history of trouble with the law.
Bynes was arrested on April 6 after she sideswiped a police car. Sources told People magazine the 26-year-old actress had been drinking at the Standard Hotel, but "seemed fine to drive," and "never seemed drunk."
"Amanda thinks it's extremely unfair that people are calling her the new Lindsay Lohan," a source close to the actress told RadarOnline. "Comparisons between the two are just ridiculous as Amanda has never been arrested for drug possession or for stealing anything. Yes, she got arrested for a DUI, »

Actress Amanda Bynes ("Hairspray," "Easy A") was arrested early Friday (April 6) morning on suspicion of driving under the influence. Bynes was arrested around 3 a.m. in West Hollywood. Authorities say the one-time teen star of The WB's "What I Like About You," now 26, tried to pass a patrol car making a right turn and grazed the police car.
In her mug shot, Bynes is wearing a black blazer, heavy black eyeliner and sporting pink-ish hair similar to the hue being currently sported by E! red carpet host Kelly Osbourne. She was held on $5,000 bail but released late on Friday.
Back in March, Bynes tried to flee the scene while a police officer was writing her a ticket. In this new case, cops say there was paint damage to both cars, but no one was injured. »

In case you were wondering who was first to throw in the towel on Jennie Garth and Peter Facinelli‘s marriage, it was…well, it was Peter Facinelli, but it would have been equally sad either way! “I was very resistant,” Garth told People about the couple’s split. “I didn’t want it to happen. It took me some time to come to peace with it.” Unfortunately it seems the Facinelli family’s bi-coastal living arraignment, with Jennie in California and Peter in Vancouver and New York shooting the Twilight series, contributed to the divorce. “He would do everything he could to fly back every weekend,” the What I Like About You star explained. “[But] it took a real toll on our marriage.” But why must a real human couple dissolve so that two fictional vampires can find romance? Whyyyyyyyyy!
Sadly, Peter is also the one getting the ball rolling legally-speaking, »

"I want to say, 'Thank you.' I'm so grateful to them for continuing the journey with me."
That's the message Jennie Garth is sending her fans today (Tuesday, March 20) as she promotes "Jennie Garth: Little Bit Country," her Cmt reality series that premieres Friday, April 20.
The "Beverly Hills, 90210" and "Dancing With the Stars" alum's separation and impending divorce from "Twilight" and "Nurse Jackie" actor Peter Facinelli factors into the new show conversationally -- he doesn't appear in it, at least at the point when the season finale is being prepped -- but the focus will be on the new life she tries to make for their three daughters on the central California farm she moves them to.
Though she didn't necessarily anticipate the timing of the separation and her show to be what it has become, Garth tells Zap2it, "That's the way life works, like chapters in a book. »

We’ll admit it: we didn’t want to trust the rumors swirling this past summer that Peter Facinelli and Jennie Garth were on the rocks. So we, um, sort of mentally blocked out any possibility that could be true. Can you blame us? The Twilight actor and What I Like About You star always seemed so normal and likable! Unfortunately, putting our fingers in our ears and screaming “I’m not listening” at the top of our lungs not only annoys our office mates, it’s also a pretty crappy safe guard against divorce: Jennie Garth and Peter Facinelli just announced today that they are ending their marriage of 11 years. “While we have decided to end our marriage, we both share the same deep love and devotion to our children,” the couple told Us Weekly. “We remain dedicated to raising our beautiful daughters together. We ask for privacy and respect during this time. »
