January 23 -- Cybill Shepherd will have to find a new solar system to inhabit. The actress-turned-talk-show-host is being replaced on the syndicated relationship show Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus.

Shepherd's role on the show was "not providing both sensibilities of men and women," Columbia TriStar Production President Russ Krasnoff told People. She'll be replaced by a panel of consultants to the lovelorn, including popular "Loveline" host Dr. Drew Pinsky, who recently advised contestants on CBS's Big Brother.

The former Moonlighting actress began hosting Mars in September. Prior to that, she starred in a self-referential sitcom called Cybill, which ran from 1995-98.
