If you didn’t fall in love with Maura Tierney during her Newsradio days, then you don’t have a pulse. Either that, or you’re a chick or you’re gay. Note, I didn’t say fall in lust with Maura Tierney, I said fall in love. Because Maura’s character on the show, Lisa Miller, wasn’t the kind of girl you fell in lust with. You sort of looked at her like the pretty girl next door who grew up to be the hottie you always thought she would be. Anyways, Maura’s gone on to do tons of other work since Newsradio, but to me, she’ll always be pretty girl next door Lisa Miller. Anyways, someone snapped pics of her in jeans, and yup, the girl next door has gotten way better looking than I remember her. Hot, even.

I really don’t have anything dumb or smart to say about this (as per my usual standard operating procedure), as I’ve always been a fan of Maura Tierney going back to her “Newsradio” days (just love that show). But news is that Maura has split from her husband of 13 years, Billy Morrissette. An actor/director, Morrissette directed Maura in the 2001 indie flick “Scotland, Pa.” The reason for the split, in my most unsophisticated of opinions, is the same thing that happens to most Hollywood couple — when one half of the couple gets more famous than the other, the ego can’t handle it. It’s worst when it’s the woman who outfames the husband. But maybe I’m just talking about of my ass as usual.
