Because Life magazine prints its covers two weeks in advance, there was really no way to foresee ABC's shocking move to pull Heather Graham's much hyped TV show Emily Reasons Why Not. After airing one single episode.

The Life cover praises her as "TV's sexiest star" — unfortunately, that still wasn't enough to keep the actress around for longer than a one night stand. Though the network filmed six episodes, the spot was cancelled on the first shot.

We have to wonder who this situation is more embarrassing for: Graham or Life? We decided to go with Graham. After all, when playing Roller Girl in Boogie Nights, is the definitive moment in your career, you basically have to take your top off in everything for people to watch you.
