My Name Is Earl star Jason Lee is planning to marry his pregnant girlfriend Ceren Alkac - the couple has been spotted applying for a marriage licence.
Two months after announcing the model is expecting a baby girl later this year, Lee and Alkac were snapped waiting in line at a Norwalk, California courthouse on Monday.
Lee - a former professional skateboarder - was previously married to Carmen Llywelyn from 1996 to 2001, and has a six-year-old son, called Pilot Inspektor, with ex-fiancee Beth Riesgraf.

A fashion designer is suing actress Jaime Pressly over claims she was unfairly axed from her fashion line.
Tami Smith claims the My Name Is Earl star hired her to design pieces for her J'aime fashion line.
In a lawsuit filed at Los Angeles County Superior Court on Monday (02June08), Smith claims she made a deal with Pressly to "represent and market" her line and spent "substantial devotion of time and effort" doing so, only to have her commissions shelved by Jaime and her company.
She is suing the star for $150,000 (GBP75,000) in fees, reports TMZ.com.
A spokesman for Pressly was unavailable for comment.

It's good to see fresh episodes of comedy – fresh episodes of anything – returning to the broadcast networks. (And for info on what'll happen in the next few weeks on "The Office," "30 Rock" and "Scrubs," go to the end of this item.)
“My Name Is Earl,” which comes back 7 p.m. Thursday on NBC, is celebrating with an hourlong episode called “I Won’t Die With a Little Help From My Friends.”
I’m generally inclined to give the show a pass – see the above statement regarding my happiness at comedy’s return. But I do wonder about what’s happened to “Earl” since it premiered.
“Earl’s” always been on the bawdy side and has frequently edged toward eyebrow-raising racial humor, but it seems as though it’s gotten more coarse and crass over its three seasons. I look back at delirious yet whimsical Season 1 episodes like “Joy’s

In April, dozens of scripted shows will return to the broadcast networks. Thank goodness! Though I've already posted details on the returns of "The Office" (here and here) "30 Rock," "Ugly Betty" and "House," I thought I'd collect all the information I have in one place.
First, here's a chronological list of return dates (to see the return dates sorted by network, go here).
Second, for those who want more than just return dates, I've got details on what will happen on many shows, in addition to the ones mentioned above, on the second half of this item.
If you don’t spot a favorite show on either list, by the way, be aware that some programs aren’t returning until fall, and the fate of several others has not been officially announced yet. There's more info on what's returning in the fall here.
Here are the return dates of scripted

My Name Is Earl star Jason Lee is slightly begrudging of the comedy TV series' success - because he's "sick" of sporting his character's trademark moustache off set.
The actor, who is currently shooting season three of the popular show, has to undertake meticulous pruning procedures to keep his facial hair in shape, and he admits he is growing tired of the process.
He says, "I gotta tell you, sometimes I regret the idea of having one for the show. It's a pretty damn good moustache but it's a commitment, you know?
"Once a week I have to get the clippers and trim it. I'm kind of sick of it now because filming Earl takes seven months of the year. Plus it's more recognised than I am!!"

It's been approximately 87 years since NBC showed a new episode of "The Office." Not that I've been keeping track.
Ok, seriously, the last fresh episode of the comedy aired Nov. 15, which technically qualifies as forever ago. So it was cool to come across a little information on what will happen when the show returns April 10.
But before I get to that, here's a bit more info on Nbc's comedies: "Scrubs" and "30 Rock" return April 10 also. "My Name Is Earl" returns with a two-parter April 3, and NBC Universal Ceo Jeff Zucker will provide an allegedly "insightful recap" on what's already transpired on "Earl," according to Nbc's press site. I cannot wait for that Zuckeriffic moment! Also, Alyssa Milano and a tabloid celebrity (no, not Britney) are guest stars when "Earl" returns. There's more on all that below.
I'm trying to find out what will happen when "30 Rock" returns April 10, but that

My Name Is Earl stars Jason Lee and Jaime Pressly escaped serious injury after two freak near-accidents occurred on the set of the hit U.S. TV show.
Lee had to leap from a hospital gurney after it was accidentally launched at high speed at a 18-wheeler truck.
On the same day last month, Pressly was almost hit by an out of control Suv that had intruded onto the set - a street that had been blocked off for filming.
A source says, "Jason and Jaime were left scratching their heads trying to figure out if they'd done something terrible during the writer's strike.
"The incident left the cast and crew pretty shaken."
