News & Cast Updates(News section last updated February 9, 2012)Soap Life: The Docu-filmThere has been a lot of buzz about the demise of soap operas, but a new documentary just might bring the sad reality into the same world as Brad Pitt, Steven Spielberg and other big time Hollywood names! Called Soap Life, the docu-film is about the changes taking place in the world of daytime television, and with over 70 interviews featuring fans, stars, producers, directors, writers, bloggers and fan club leaders, it could show the world what's really happening in daytime."The wife of our executive producer, John Grossman, who owns the production company NYPS, is a big fan of GENERAL HOSPITAL, and her whole thing was, 'You have the ability, so let's do something to save the soaps,'" explains producer Matthew D'Amato of how it all began. "We started doing research, and we sat down with a few actors, producers and directors, and said, 'Is this is a good idea? Could this work? Should we pursue it?' And we looked it up online and didn't see anything like this, so we thought it would be important to get started." And the main goal of the film, D'Amato explains, is to generate enough buzz about the possible end of soaps to possibly prevent it from happening. "Hopefully this will get enough attention to help the genre, because we don't want to see it fade away," he says, adding that it's tentatively scheduled for a June 2012 release date at film festivals and possibly on networks such as Showtime. "We do want to see it at festivals, and we do want to see it on networks [so] people who aren't soap fans can watch the film and kind of relate to it, hear the stories and maybe want to pick them up or maybe do something about the genre. We have contacts we can send it to in order to get it out there, so hopefully it will get bigger and bigger!" For more information on the project, visit www.facebook.com/soaplifedoc.

Eddie Cibrian: Shirtless and Glistening in Sexy New Ads!(Photo) Move over bikini babe LeAnn Rimes, it's your hubby's turn to show off the goods.Eddie Cibrian's (ex-Cole, SB/ex-Matt, Y&R) hot new ads for the Charisma home collection debuted today, featuring the hunky actor topless, glistening and flaunting his toned bod while toweling off after a dip in the pool. Yowza! The 38-year-old small-screen star and father of two (with ex-wife and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Brandi Glanville) posed for the series of sexy shots, which will be featured in the luxury home brand's spring 2012 campaign, at a private home in Los Angeles. Not only does Cibrian take a steamy dip in the pool, he's also snapped lounging half-naked (or fully naked?) in bed. This isn't Cibrian's first time in front of the photographer's lens. He stripped down for his first Charisma campaign that debuted last July. What do you think of the former CSI: Miami star's pecs, er, pics? Kanan Dishes On Getting DIVORCED!Sean Kanan just made his last appearance as THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS' Deacon a few days ago, and he's already got a new gig! Tonight, the actor will be taping a guest-starring role on TV Land's hit sitcom HAPPILY DIVORCED, starring Fran Drescher.A TV Land rep tells Soaps In Depth that Kanan will appear in an upcoming episode when Season 2 kicks off in March as Keith, a leather jacket-wearing, motorcycle shop owner. "I play a gay guy in a gay bar and Peter -- who is Fran's ex-husband -- has a crush on me," Kanan reveals. Hilarity is sure to ensue when Glen plays Peter's wingman and tries to make a love connection for his daughter's gay ex-husband. HAPPILY DIVORCED isn't the first time that Kanan has worked with Drescher: He appeared in a 1996 episode of THE NANNY, along with Brian Bloom (Dusty, AS THE WORLD TURNS). "It's very cool working with Fran again," he tells In Depth. "I think she's one of the funniest women on television. She's really a terrific person. We saw each other a few months ago and she was nice enough to say to me, 'If you get called in to audition, let me know.' I did and she helped make [my being cast] happen." At press time, an air date for Kanan's episode had not been determined, but we'll keep you posted!
