my ex-life-related stories

A couple of days ago,
we told you about the news that
Lost's (and -- to me --
Titus' and
Drew Carey's) Cynthia Watros has signed to be a
"guest star" on the new Tom Cavanagh CBS sitcom, which for now is called
My Ex-Life. But the
important part of the story as far as I'm concerned is that Watros will be taking the place of
Sons &
Daugters' Gillian Vigman (pictured),
who had
signed on to the pilot deal as a second option, in case
S&D got cancelled.
So here's the
$64 question: Does this mean that
S&D, one of my favorite shows of the season, is coming back? We don't
know yet, but
this Zap2It
article speculates that becaue ABC Entertainment president Steve McPherson is such a big fan of the show and he's
had a history of unexpected pickups (just ask everyone on
Jake In Progress), it might actually happen. So,
S&D fans, keep your fingers crossed.

Kelsey Grammer is returning to comedic television,
but only behind-the-scenes. He has agreed to direct the CBS comedy pilot,
My Ex-Life, about about two divorced
couples and the way they deal with life after divorce. Former
Love Monkey and
Ed actor Tom Cavanah
snagged a lead role in this show.
Despite a list of cancelled shows, The CW doesn't think that Wayne Brady
is bad luck. The new network has picked up a comedy pilot called
Flirt, starring Brady as the only man working
at a women's magazine.
Bo Derek has joined the cast of
Secret Obsessions, a telenovela-style,
primetime soap opera on My Network TV, the network that
FOX is creating out of its UPN stations
that
lost their affiliation earlier this
year.
Secret Obsessions is about the glamorous, yet ruthless world of fashion. Derek will play Maria Zianni, a
mega-bitch who runs a fashion corporation.
