Let me start off by saying that the only reason I’m covering this story is because I want to complain that Price’s show “Eastwick” has been canceled. I really love that show and think that if it didn’t have the numbers that ABC should have given it a chance. It’s a very solid, entertaining show with a fabulous cast and if it was promoted better it could have achieved a higher viewership. It’s just really disappointing to hear that one of my favorite new shows probably won’t be coming back.

Lindsay Price, 32, plays an unemployed journalist with psychokinetic powers on the show. She’s been dating fellow TV star Josh Radnor, 35, of CBS’s “How I Met Your Mother” since late last summer. The two recently called it quits, with a “source,” probably one of the actor’s PR reps, telling People “it was just time.”:

Lindsay Price and Josh Radnor, who began dating in August 2008, have called it quits, PEOPLE has confirmed.

“They aren’t together anymore,” a source tells PEOPLE of the former Lipstick Jungle actress, 32, and the How I Met Your Mother actor, 35. Adds another source, “It was just time.”

The pair met in 2007 when Price appeared on How I Met Your Mother, but they didn’t kick off their courtship for another 18 months. “We met up a year-and-a-half later in New York,” Price told PEOPLE in June. “We went to have dinner near the Bowery. It went really well.”

At the time, Price said of Radnor, “He’s very thoughtful, and he’s very good at giving gifts.”

A year sounds about right if you like the person and just end up realizing you don’t have the same goals in life or aren’t ready to commit to something longer term. That’s too bad for them, but if they weren’t right for each other it was time that they called it quits.

Back to the real topic – I’m still holding out hope for Eastwick. The cast is amazing and it’s a very well crafted show. I wasn’t really familiar with Rebecca Romijn before seeing Eastwick, but she’s a good actress and I enjoy her scenes. Eastwick also features Jaime Ray Newman as the redheaded weather-changing Cat and Cybill Shepherd as a practicing witch. A lot of people are going to miss that show. At least the episodes that are already complete will still air. Maybe another network will pick it up.

In the current issue of People, Josh Radnor of How I Met Your Mother hints that he has a new girlfriend. When asked if he is seeing anyone, he doesn’t name names but answers, “I am rounding a corner in the relationship department. I’m in the beginning of something new.”

Us, however, does name names. The November 10 issue reports that Josh’s new girlfriend is Lindsay Price of Lipstick Jungle. They were spotted getting cozy at The Striking Viking Story Pirates concert in New York City on October 4. “They were flirty,” says an onlooker. The two were also spotted the next night at the Ruby Slipper Collection event at Saks.

Like Josh, it sounds like Lindsay is taking things slow. A Price source told Us, “It’s nothing serious.”

Lindsay and Josh first met when she guest-starred on How I Met Your Mother in 2007, which is the same year she split from husband Shawn Piller.

So, does a guy like Josh take a date to a Hollywood hotspot to impress her?

I never enjoyed going to clubs. You can’t hear anything and you can’t talk. What’s the point of being with people?

The Striking Viking Pirates, where Josh and Lindsay went for their date, “collect written works from students and youth and adapt these stories for the stage. Kid-written work is then performed by professional actors in a sketch comedy revue,” according to the official site.

Josh describes himself as a laid back guy who meditates twice a day so it’s not surprising that he picked a nontraditional venue for a date with Lindsay.
