Mary-Louise Parker
Gossip

Somebody new is drooling over Mary-Louise Parker nude.

The beautiful actress has gone public with Charlie Mars, a musician she started seeing in early June. Sources told People the singer/songwriter and the Weeds star spent all of last weekend together, spending time in Los Angeles for the Emmy Awards.

Last year, Parker appeared in the artist's video for "Listen to the Darkside," the first single off his record Like a Bird, Like a Plane.

Mars reminds us a bit of John Mayer - for Parker's sake, though, let's hope he's far less of a douchebag than his fellow guitar player.

Parker had previously been involved in a roller coaster relationship with Jeffery Dean Morgan.

Some things just get better with age.

Heroes and Entourage? Not among those things.

Kristin Chenoweth and Mary-Louise Parker, though? Wow. At age 41 and 45, respectively, these two actresses continue to amaze with talent and beauty.

Before winning the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress for the now-canceled Pushing Daisies, Kristin looked dazzling on the red carpet - literally.

Mary-Louise, meanwhile, did not win Best Actress despite a hilarious array of Weeds quotes, but she won accolades for her one-strapped purple frock.

Who looked better?

Proving that some things do get better with age, Mary-Louise Parker turns 45 (!) today, a year older and sexier as she remains one of our favorite celebs.

Whether she's cooking half-naked in Esquire or firing off hilarious Weeds quotes left and right, the gorgeous and talented star amazes us year after year.

It's an honor to celebrate her birthday this second day of August.

The current season of Weeds has been a major disappointment for one reason:

A lack of Mary-Louise Parker sex scenes.

Sure, the actress was railed from behind by her drug lord of a baby daddy, but forced intercourse isn't very arousing.

Fortunately, the good folks at Esquire feel our pain and have published the sexiest photos of Parker in recorded history. If this is what cooking is all about, why have men stayed out of the kitchen for so long?!?

In the past, Mary-Louis Parker has said that nude photos weren't a big deal. We beg to differ.

Despite seemingly making remarks to the contrary two weeks ago, Weeds star Mary-Louise Parker wants to set the record straight: she loves being naked!

The star of Showtime's dark comedy, which returns for a fifth season Monday, is out to clear the air about a recent interview with More magazine that gave the impression she regretted doing a nude scene in the fourth season finale.

"They made it sound like I was like, 'They made me take my clothes off and chained me to the bathtub,'" Mary-Louise Parker says of the nude scene.

In the scene in question, Parker's character, suburban single mom and drug dealer Nancy Botwin, sits in the tub and reflects on her life's challenges.

Her nakedness is on display for a decent stretch.

The More article, which was excerpted online under the ironic headline of "I Like to Reveal Myself," quotes the actress as saying that she didn't think she needed to be naked, and that she fought with the director about it, bitterly.

Not exactly, says Parker: "It made it seem like we were fighting." Instead, she says, she was just critiquing editing styles and how they differ in film and TV.

"I was talking about it as an example of something I didn't love when I saw it, as they kept cutting back and I was naked, but they liked the position of it."

But people seeing Mary-Louise Parker nude is not something the actress has a problem with as a general rule, and that much she makes abundantly clear.

"I mean, if you know me, it's like, someone sneezes and I take my clothes off," she says. "I'm going to be naked in Esquire in August. I was naked on the set the other day. I'm always naked. I'm naked right now, in fact," she jokes.

Gulp.

According to Mary-Louise Parker, nude photos she posed for to promote the fourth season of Weeds were no big deal.

But MORE magazine asked the actress about a bathtub scene she filmed near the end of that season and she expressed regret over it.

"I didn't think I needed to be naked," she said in that publication's June issue. "I fought with the director about it, and now I am bitter. I knew it was going to be on the Internet: 'Mary Louise shows off her big nipples.' I wish I hadn't done that. I was goaded into it."

It's a goading millions of men are thankful for, of course.

The show's co-executive producer, meanwhile, defended the shot, saying that nudity was necessary to convey the character's vulnerability.

"We felt at that point in her life, defenses had been so thoroughly stripped away," Roberto Benabib said. "There was a nonchalance to the nudity that informed the scene... I thought it was wonderful, one of the five best scenes Mary-Louise has ever done [on Weeds]." 

The fifth season of Weeds premieres on Showtime on June 8.

It's sad when couples you love break it off, but it's also a fact of life in the celebrity news business. For every Brangelina or TomKat, there's a PeteMoss or two.

We can't think of a good nickname for these three-named stars, but we're still sad to report that Mary-Louise Parker and Jeffrey Dean Morgan have broken off their engagement, according to People magazine this morning.

Parker, who stars on Weeds, and Morgan, who plays her deceased husband on that series and also had a memorable stint as Denny on Grey's Anatomy and several recent movie roles, announced they were engaged earlier this year.

They seemed very happy in announcing their engagement not even two months ago. This was after their two-year on-again, off-again relationship.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Mary-Louise Parker are broken up.

Reps for Parker and Jeffrey Dean Morgan both declined comment on the story. Mary-Louise has two children, one a baby girl she adopted from Africa last fall, and the other  a son with another ex-fiance, Billy Crudup.

Mary-Louise Parker and actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan are engaged!

They have been telling friends that they're planning to swap vows, according to the New York Daily News.

The pair began dating in 2006, but briefly split in June 2007.

They were back on as of December when Parker accompanied Jeffrey Dean Morgan to the premiere of his movie, P.S. I Love You.

She has a 4-year-old son, William, with her ex-fiance, Billy Crudup. Mary-Louise Parker also recently adopted a baby girl from Africa.

Jeffrey Dean and Mary-Louise make a cute pair. 

Morgan, who may be best known for a memorable stint on Grey's Anatomy, plays her dead husband on her Showtime hit series, Weeds.

Congratulations to the happy couple!

Are Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Mary-Louise Parker back on?

Morgan and Parker, who dated for a long period of time before splitting up in June, showed up to the P.S. I Love You premiere Sunday night with their arms around each other. Parker even held Morgan's hand during an interview.

Morgan currently stars on Supernatural and has had memorable stints on Grey's Anatomy and Weeds, the hit Showtime series that stars Parker.

When asked by People what he thought about his date for the evening - who looked ridiculously hot in a dangerously short dress - Jeffrey Dean Morgan responded "What about her?" as he raised an eyebrow and flashed a grin.

Does Jeffrey Dean Morgan have eyes only for Mary-Louise Parker?

During a cast photo for the film in which he appears, Jeffrey Dean Morgan playfully grabbed star Hilary Swank's backside. The Swankster took it in stride.

Morgan then moved on to Gerard Butler, who was quoted as saying. "Jeffrey Dean Morgan rubbing my ass, yeah that's about as good as it gets!"

Frankly, we can't see how any human lucky enough to see Mary-Louise Parker nude goes around grabbing the asses of others, but hey, whatever works.

Eat your heart out, Zahara!

Actress Mary-Louise Parker was photographed on Thursday holding the latest accessory to sweep Hollywood - an adopted daughter from Africa! Adorable!

The lovely duo were attached at the hip, as Mary-Louise-Parker chatted on her cell phone after taking the little one to her new doctor in New York.

The beautiful and hilarious star of Weeds, Mary-Louise already has a 3-year-old son, Will from a previous relationship with actor Billy Crudup.

So we know she'll be able to handle the single parent duties!

Which of these celebrities should adopt a baby from Africa next? It's great for society and even better for rehabbing one's image!

• Alicia Silverstone
• Vanessa Hudgens
• Britney Spears
• Nicole Richie
