Despite reports, Brooke Shields says her NBC drama Lipstick Jungle hasn't been scrapped.

"They thought that because My Own Worst Enemy has been shut down that the same thing had happened to us, and it's not true," she told reporters at Sunday's Cookie magazine Kidsfest in NYC.

"They're not breaking down the sets," she added. "Were still working. We still have more to do, so it's erroneously presented that weve been canceled, thank God.

"Our bosses are saying, 'Youre not canceled, dont worry. Were just trying to figure out how to make this make sense.'"

Shields, 43, said fans have already sent in tubes of lipstick to Jeff Zucker, president & CEO of NBC Universal, to show their support.

Can you believe these stars are in their 40s too?

"It's been insane," she went on. "I think that the public outcry has been crazy, and it's kind of wonderful."

Is she optimistic for the show?

"I actually am," Shields said. "I mean, we're basically No. 1 if you look at DVR. And you look at all that. So the public is watching it.

"The problem that they have is it's not the same day live," she continued. "They just need to figure out how to reconcile advertisers' money because the advertisers don't want you fast forwarding commercials."

If the show gets canned, she said she'll be heartbroken.

"The family atmosphere and the excitement of being all together and working -- thats the perk," she said. "I think they would be remiss if they decided not to continue next season."

Co-star Kim Raver (who also denied that the show's been canceled) said she would take the cancellation "really hard.

"The main thing is that me and Brooke and Lindsay [Price] have such a great time, not to sound corny," she said.

She added, "I think on Monday there are emergency meetings as to what's going to go on. But I know the executives are really pushing it and believe in it."

  • OK to Sherry R up there...I'm a housewife and I take GREAT offense by the comment that it "just entertains the idea of marital affair". I do watch this show and I love it. And I have no thoughts of having a marital affair. Yeah the show may not have the best morals or values BUT what show does these days?? Any show you watch in some way has some bad morals in it. I&#

    PLEASE DON'T CANCEL THIS SHOW. ONE OF MY FAVORITES, MEN IN TREES, HAD NOT COME BACK FROM LAST YEAR. STOP MESSING AROUND WITH THE TIME SLOT. I THINK THAT'S WHAT DID IN MEN IN TREES-PEOPLE COULDN'T FIND IT. IT HAD BEEN SWITCHED AROUND TOO MANY TIMES. BE PATIENT.

    Ah yes, so sad to see another failed replica of "sex and the city" go off air. It's GARBAGE...it's amazing to me that they put this kinda junk on tv and how far down the drain our morals have gone and the American people say nothing against the president of the network. It's geared towards bored housewifes and it just entertains the idea of marital affair
