Fox has quickly dropped Significant Others from its Wednesday-night slot at 9 p.m. after it averaged only a 4.4 rating and a 7 share during three outings.

Is Minnie Driver Moving On?
Minnie Driver, who lost the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Good Will Hunting but still had to watch Matt Damon, the guy who dumped her, collect a statue, may be rebounding. The New York Daily News reports that the actress has been spending time with singer Elliott Smith, who penned Hunting’s Oscar-nominated song “Miss Misery.” How appropriate. Minnie—who reportedly left one of the Oscar parties in tears after bumping into Matt and his new squeeze, Winona Ryder and Smith were spotted holding hands at a Mary Lou Lord show in Los Angeles last week, says the paper. And the actress reportedly spent some time backstage with him at one of his own shows. But Driver’s rep denies there’s a love connection. “They’re just friends,” her spokeswoman, Lisa Casteller, tells the News. “I hold hands with Minnie and we’re not dating.”

Driver is to play a politician’s sister-in-law who finds out her sister’s marriage to a statesman is a sham. Production starts in June.
