As noted earlier, the network announced it had put the kibosh on Dirty Sexy Money.

"The ratings-challenged trio will complete production on their 13-episode orders (Daisies already has, while Eli and DSM have an episode or two to go)," says EW.

Not even a musical-infused guest stint by 29-year-old Katie Holmes earlier this season could boost the beleaguered Eli Stone's dreary ratings.

At NBC, the stunt-casting of both Oprah Winfrey, 54, and Jennifer Aniston, 39, recently delivered 30 Rock its lowest ratings of the year.

Given that, is there any chance 41-year-old Pamela Anderson's upcoming appearance on NBC sitcom Kath & Kim will increase viewership?

At least Pushing Daisies star Kristin Chenoweth, 40, has Four Christmases to look forward to.
