Sorry, Lipstick Jungle fans, but the Brooke Shields-show is officially dead, Shields confirms.

“It was going to stay and we just were officially told it’s finally not coming back,” Shields said Saturday night. “It’s very sad. I think a lot of people were really sad, but I think we hung on a really long time. It was three great years that we’ve been working on it.”

This was one of the longest cancellation periods I’ve ever seen.  If you remember back to December, Lipstick Jungle was thought to be canceled.  Multiple credible sources confirmed this (including HooplaNow), but the network never confirmed that it was cancellation.  Shields says that she just found out.

“It literally just happened,” she said. “We’re all kind of reeling and trying to figure out what our next move is.”

I don’t know how many fans of Lipstick Jungle are out there, but they must know this: Lipstick Jungle has two shows left, and if its fans don’t save it in that span, it will certainly be cancelled.

But the protocol for saving the Brooke Shields-starring show won’t follow the likes of Jericho, with fans sending peanuts to the offices of CBS, but rather simply tuning in.

You see, Lipstick Jungle has struggled mightily in the ratings, which was the cause of its relegation to Friday nights.  And because of this move, it was thought to be cancelled – along with Christian Slater’s My Own Worst Enemy - before the TIVO/DVR numbers were included. 

But the thing about those figures is that they allow the viewers to skip over the commercials, which is something networks hate because it doesn’t attract advertisers. 

With all of this being said, if you’re a fan of Lipstick Jungle, call your friends and tell them to tune into the show live on NBC.  That’s the only way it will stay alive.
