It's Official: Neve Campbell Marries

The former Party of Five star Neve Campbell married British actor John Light over the weekend. The couple first met in 2001, and got engaged in February 2006.

"Neve was married in a small ceremony in Malibu on Saturday," her rep, Jill Fritzo, says.

It's definitely been a busy time lately for Neve, who marked her return to TV in a three-arc stint on Medium last week.

Light had a starring role in the 2003 Showtime movie The Lion in Winter and he also appeared in the 2001 HBO miniseries Band of Brothers.

This is Neve's second marriage, who split from Canadian actor Jeff Colt in 1997, after 2 years of marriage.

Justin Timberlake Brings SexyBack to TV

I think we're long overdue for a JT fix, and this should just about do it. HBO is bringing concerts back to their channel, starting with a big one ... Justin Timberlake. His first solo concert for the pay-tv channel will will be taped on August 16 at Madison Square Garden, during the second US leg of his FutureSex/LoveShow world tour. It is scheduled to air on September 3.

The last time HBO aired a concert special was a Rolling Stones show in January 2003.

HBO Entertainment Senior Vice President Nancy Geller said that it's all about timing. "The concert specials always have been icing on the cake, but the series were so important," she said. "When Justin said he was going on tour, it was a no-brainer. It just felt right -- he is a classic HBO star, it feels like the right time, and he's the right guy."

Justin's second solo album, "FutureSex/LoveSounds," has sold nearly 6 million copies and earned him two Grammys.

Julianna Marguiles Back to TV

All I can say is it's about damn time! Julianna Marguiles hasn't done tv since she left her long-running role as Nurse Carol Hathaway on ER.

Canterbury's Law centers on a passionate, brash female defense attorney who pushes the envelope for innocent clients. She faces challenges both in the courtroom and at home. Ben Shenkman also stars in the pilot, and Mike Figgis has signed on to direct.

The pilot was written by Dave Erickson and will be executive produced by Denis Leary and Jim Serpico of Apostle Productions.

Julianna won an Emmy for her work on "ER," a role she played for six seasons. She has had a recurring role in the final season of HBO's "The Sopranos," but Canterbury's Law will be her first regular series gig since turning down a contract extension on "ER" years ago (and numerous offers since then).

The Sopranos Family is Back

It seems like forever since new episodes of The Sopranos were on, doesn't it? After a long wait, the mob family returned to HBO on April 8th, kicking off their final season. Hard to believe that they've been on the air for 10 years already, and actor Robert Iler, who stars as Tony's rebel son AJ, is already sad about the show coming to an end. He recently dished a bit with US magazine; here's what he had to say:

What are you going to miss most?
The people, but I know I'm still going to see them. Jamie-Lynn Sigler and I are like brother and sister. Even when we're not working, we talk every day.

You both kind of grew up on the show.
Yeah. I'm 22 and she's 26, and she was married and now she's divorced, and when we're walking to the set, they still say, "Here come the kids!"

And you're a lot trimmer now than you used to be.
Thank you! Yeah, when I was younger, I did the Atkins diet for two and a half months and lost 40 pounds. Now I use my treadmill and try to eat decent.

Is it true you're dating costar Lorraine Bracco's daughter, Stella Keitel?
{Laughing} I don't know what you're talking about! No, we're really good friends. I've known her since I was 12. She's a great girl.

Sarah Jessica Parker Goes Back to Work...

... but perhaps not in the job you've been hoping for. Although she hasn't really worked much since having her son, James Wilke with husband Matthew Broderick and ending her stint on HBO's Sex and the City, actress Sarah Jessica Parker has a new job. Fashion designer.

Her new sportswear line, Bitten, which is set to launch this June, is going to be putting out affordable fashion, with every item priced less than $20.

Sarah Jessica is teaming up with mall-based collegiate wear seller Steve & Barry's for the new line.

In a recent statement, SJP said, "Women should be able to wear great clothes and not lie in bed at night feeling guilty about how much money they've spent."

The tagline for the new collection is "Fashion is not a luxury, it's a right."

The line will have approximately 500 clothing items and accessories, everything from knit shirts, wool and cashmere sweaters to dresses, lingerie, jeans, jewelry and footwear.

No word on if Carrie would approve.

HBO's Extras is Dunzo

Sad news for fans of the HBO series, Extras. Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant have decided against a third season of Extras, and will be doing a "one-off" special to wrap up the series and tie up any loose ends.

Apparently, they always intended to end the series in the early stages, but have yet to decide when exactly they will be ending it. According to the duo's rep, they "will, at some point, sit down... and write it."
