Maura Tierney Needs Eight Weeks Off

Maura Tierney's new drama, Parenthood, is being pushed back to mid-season due to an "eight-week medical evaluation" that Maura needs. No details were given on what was wrong but eight weeks? Sounds like something major that they'll be treating or she'll be recovering from. It definitely sounds like she'll be surrounded by doctors in lab coats for sometime.

I wish her the best for whatever this is. It sounds like something major. I hope not. I really like her. She seems "normal" on a celebrity scale. You know "normal" doesn't seem to happen very often in Hollywood.
