Does Michael Imperioli finally have a new TV home?!
After a long and successful career as Christopher Montisanti on The Sopranos, Imperioli has bounced around TV show to TV show ever since.
The actor has been cast in NBC's hospital pilot, Scrubs ER County, as a veteran doctor taking interns under his wing.
His previous pilot, 40, by Entourage creator, Doug Elin, was passed over by HBO.
Let's hope Michael has a place to stay soon!

…On her comedy pilot. LOLz!
ABC's Mandy Moore comedy pilot has finally cast her parents.
Stockard Channing and Kurt Fuller will be playing her mom and dad.
The show is going to be about the conflict between the family we grew up in versus the family we make for ourselves as adults.
Channing will play a warm, devoted, at times overbearing mother and Fuller will play the good natured dad who tends to let his wife take charge.
Sounds like a funny idea.
We can't wait to see the show.
Are U excited for Mandy Moore's new comedy pilot??

Remember Tempestt Bledsoe? From the Cosby Show (and The Practice and some others...)?
Well, she's joining the cast of Jimmy Fallon's NBC comedy pilot!
It'll be nice to have her return to tv!
Here's what it's about:
'The project follows three thirtysomething guys (played by Anthony Anderson, Jesse Bradford and Zach Cregger) who enjoy the adventures of parenting even though they haven’t grown up themselves.'
Tempestt is set to play Anthony Anderson's wife!
No word on the title of the show yet, but it sounds HIGHlarious -- especially with Zach Cregger, who is fab on The Whitest Kids U'Know.
We'd like a trailer, please! Ha!

Movies didn't work out, huh?
Super seksi Chad Michael Murray is coming back to the small screen as he has been cast as the male lead in ABC's drama pilot Scruples.
The hour long soap produced by Natalie Portman is based on a book of the same name.
The story is set in the 1970s and revolves around a young widow, (played by Claire Forlani) who opens a "fashion-forward boutique" in Beverly Hills.
CMM will play the the leading lady's sexy business partner. Obvi they're gonna hock up and it's gonna be hot, cause it's Chad Michael Murray (and that's what he's good at).
We bet ABC picks it up ... but mostly cause of Portman.
Hey! She has an Oscar and a Harvard education. She's made all the right choices -- this show should be no different!

Everyone has heard by now that Matthew Perry is joining the cast of The Good Wife for a while, which is fine and fab and fantastic all at once -- but until now we've only known about a little bit of it.
Well dry your shorts, everyone, because you can put your excitement to rest: we've got more details!!
Here they are, starting with wanting the character (hotshot Chicago attorney Mike Kresteva):
"to be more charming and charismatic than Alicia's previous adversaries. The relationship between [the two] is friendly at first, then friendly with an edge, then less friendly, then adversarial, then angrily opposed, then resigned to being angrily opposed."
And apparently it was awesome to watch them work together:
"[It] was a delight. We were thrilled and only wish ill of Matthew's pilot [NBC's Go On] so we can kidnap him and have him act in all our episodes next year."
Sounds SO GOOD!
We can't wait!
Matthew Perry is seriously due for a fantastic role, and if his pilot can't be it then we hope this one is!
Good luck, Matthew!

It's happening! It's happening!
We heard rumors about Seth McFarlane rebooting The Flinstones and now, according to the Family Guy creator:
"It's happening."
While talking to a South By Southwest Festival crowd about his Mark Wahlberg movie Ted, he revealed:
"It's still in the early stages -- I'm finishing a rewrite on the pilot. We're trying to, essentially, stay true to what that show is. There's something cool to me about, in 2013, turning on your TV and seeing 'The Flintstones' and having it look like 'The Flintstones.' There's really not a lot about that show -- other than the references to 1960s America, which really come through in the writing more than the visual -- that needs to be changed visually and stylistically. They invented the template that we're using in animation. We kinda want to keep it, more or less, the same. The stories that we tell will be a little more current."
As far as the jokes go, don't expect it to cross into TV-MA territory, as McFarlane continued:
"It's a balance. We're kind of shooting for the level of edge in mid-'90s 'Simpsons.' You're not going to see abortion jokes."
LOLz! That's good.
