Attention, TV Squad readers, my friends and fellow television fans, it's time to announce the winner for The Excellence in Outsourcing Award, that is, the foreign actor who possesses the best American accent. There were many worthy nominees, but the overwhelming winner was
House, MD himself, actor Hugh Laurie. That Englishman, one of her majesty's loyal subjects, has been making us all believe that he's just a Jersey boy. As Dr. Gregory House of Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, he sounds like he was born in south Jersey, spent his summers in Asbury Park, and is as much a Garden Stater as Bruce Springsteen and Tony Soprano.

There's a new guy running the show for ABC's drama
Dirty Sexy Money and his name is Daniel Cerone. Cerone replaces Josh Reims. As executive producer, Cerone will be working with creator Craig Wright (
Lost), as well as Greg Berlanti (
Brothers & Sisters), Matthew Gross and Bryan Singer (
House) -- so the show's got lots of first-class pedigree. Now they have to put it all together for the show.

The bitchy, back-stabbing, coke-snorting characters on BBC's
Footballers' Wives are coming to America. ABC has given the greenlight to the pilot for the Americanized version of the British soap drama. Instead of soccer wives, the American version will be NFL wives (natch). The BBC series chronicled how womens' lives changed when they married soccer superstars. Sounds like a companion to
Desperate Housewives? The original series ran for five seasons and it is currently airing on BBC America at 10 pm on Sundays.
The Hollywood Reporter is saying that Bryan Singer may direct the pilot. In case that name doesn't ring a bell, he's the director behind the first two
X-Men movies and last summer's
Superman Returns.

According to the UK site
Digital Spy, Bryan Singer, director of the summer blockbuster
Superman Returns, has signed a development deal with ABC. In the reported seven-figure deal, Singer will develop three pilot scripts for the network; the network is gauaranteeing Singer that at least one of them will end up being produced with him as the showrunner.
This isn't Singer's first TV venture; he was involved as an executive producer and director for
House. Let's hope whatever pilot comes out of this deal is closer to the
House aesthetic (and maybe that of Singer's first hit feature,
The Usual Suspects) than the comic-book genre he's been involved with lately. We already have
Heroes and
Smallville; that's plenty for me.
