Debra Messing opens up about marriage split
File under Interview, News & Rumours posted on 6 May, 2012 by

Debra Messing has spoken for the first time about her marriage breakdown.

 The former ‘Will and Grace’ star and her producer husband Daniel Zelman announced their 11-year marriage was over last December, bringing an end to a relationship that began in 1990 when they met at college.

The split coincided with Debra – who has a seven-year-old son Roman with Daniel – relocating from Los Angeles to New York to shoot new TV show ‘Smash’ and she admits the amount of changes in her life were tough for her to deal with.

In an interview in the June issue Ladies’ Home Journal magazine, she said: ‘It’s like 20 years. It’s a very long time. When I say the move to New York was traumatic, it was traumatic because every aspect of my life was going through a huge change.’

Although when Debra said her vows she thought she was marrying for life, she thinks the concept of marriage is becoming outdated because of changes in modern society.

She added: ‘I think the idea of a partner for life is incredibly romantic. But now we’re living to 100. A hundred years ago people were dying at age 37. Till death do us part was a much different deal.’

Debra is now believed to be dating her ‘Smash’ co-star Will Chase – who separated from his wife, Broadway star Stephanie Gibson, last year.

Debra Messing, Warren Littlefield Discuss ‘Must See TV’ on TODAY
File under Interview, Media, Smash posted on 28 April, 2012 by

On this morning’s TODAY show, former NBC President of Entertainment Warren Littlefield and SMASH star Debra Messings discussed Littlefield’s new book entitled “Top of the Rock: Inside the Rise and Fall of Must See TV”.

“Top of the Rock: Inside the Rise and Fall of Must See TV” is an insiders’ account of the greatest era in television history, told by the actors, writers, directors, producers, and the network executives who made it happen, and watched it all fall apart. The popular series during this era of TV included Seinfeld, Friends, Frasier, ER, Cheers, Law & Order and Will & Grace.

Warren Littlefield was the NBC President of Entertainment who oversaw the Peacock Network’s rise from also-ran to a division that generated a billion dollars in profits. In this fast-paced and exceptionally entertaining oral history, Littlefield and NBC luminaries including Jerry Seinfeld, Jason Alexander, Kelsey Grammer, Matt LeBlanc, Lisa Kudrow, Julianna Marguiles, Anthony Edwards, Noah Wylie, Debra Messing, Jack Welch, Jimmy Burrows, Helen Hunt, and Dick Wolf vividly recapture the incredible era of Must See TV.

From 1993 through 1998, NBC exploded every conventional notion of what a broadcast network could accomplish with the greatest prime-time line-up in television history. On Thursday nights, a cavalcade of groundbreaking comedies and dramas streamed into homes, attracting a staggering 75 million viewers and generating more revenue than all other six nights of programming combined. The road to success, however, was a rocky one.

What Debra Messing Thinks of Her Nude Pics in Allure
File under Interview, News & Rumours posted on 21 April, 2012 by

Debra Messing is a smash hit in the new issue of Allure that features the magazine’s annual spread with celebs posing in the buff.

And while the Smash actress is thrilled that her fans are loving her seductive shoot (Anderson Cooper’s reaction: “Hubba, hubba!”), she can’t help but wonder why the mag wanted her now, even though she’s been on the Hollywood scene since 1995.

“This is Allure’s annual nude issue, and there are several of us, several actresses. Why they decided to wait until I was 43 to ask me, I don’t know,” she jokes to Cooper during an appearance on his show, which airs April 23.

Also flaunting their bare bods in the spread: Dancing with the Stars’ Maria Menounos, supermogul/model Heidi Klum, Person of Interest‘s Taraji P. Henson, GCB‘s Leslie Bibb, and V‘s Morena Baccarin.

Messing, who has been quietly dating her Smash costar Will Chace, also opens up to Cooper about her own celebrity TV crush: The Voice‘s Cee Lo Green!

“He is so sexy!” Messing tells the host, who retorts with, “Cee Lo Green? The guy who strokes the cat?”

“How crazy is that cat?” she answers. “That made him even cooler to me, that crazy cat. It’s the fact that [Cee Lo] wears red all the time and he’s got that smile and he’s got the glasses. He’s nurturing but he’s naughty, you know he’s naughty, but yet he just wants everyone to love and be good and music.”

Tune into Messing’s full interview with Cooper when Anderson airs Monday, April 23.
