KATIE HOLMES
She calls the show’s star, Katie Holmes “very sweet,” but adds “ we didn’t spend that much time together. I knew she worked out a lot.” Philipps said she “had a hard time really connecting with her,” adding that “She didn’t seem to like to drink very much, and while I knew she’d sneak a cigarette every once in a while, she wasn’t really like a hang-out-and-smoke kind of girl.”
JOSHUA JACKSON AND JAMES VAN DER BEEK
The 39-year-old writes that stars Joshua Jackson and James Van Der Beek did not get along. She opined that Jackson saw himself as a “George Clooney type,” but was a bit of a “mainsplainer” and could “turn a conversation into a dissertation.”
BODY-SHAMING Philipps says that she was also often body-shamed on-set. “Wardrobe was really disheartening. The woman looked at my body skeptically. ;Hmmm. I think the trick with you will be to just accentuate your chest and push up your boobs and maybe show your legs, and then just try to hide from here’ – she pointed to right under my boobs – ‘to here’ — She pointed to right above my knees,” adding that they covered up her moles and compared her disparagingly to Holmes, who they said “WORKS SO HARD” and “LOVES running.”

“The Conners” did okay in the ratings on Tuesday night. It averaged 10.6 million viewers, although that number might climb a bit once DVR and delayed viewing are factored in.
There are two ways to look at that.
On one hand, it was exactly where “Roseanne” left off this past spring, when 10.6 million people watched the season finale on May 22nd. But it was DOWN from last season’s premiere, which attracted 18.4 million viewers.
Some might say that it’s down because ROSEANNE BARR isn’t on the show anymore, but it’s hard to make a direct correlation . . . because last season, it was coming back after being off the air for 21 years.
And this season, it was coming back after being off the air for five months.
