Jennifer Love Hewitt Is a Full-Time Hooker
Scott Wolf's girlfriend is getting into the escort scene. Also today: Game of Thrones casting news, a terrible idea for a remake, and Kevin Bacon has a face for radio and TV.
- Now that she's done whispering things to ghosts, the 1990s' favorite pair of boobs, Jennifer Love Hewitt, is heading down to Texas to be a sex worker. On a TV show, silly! Last year Hewitt starred in the Lifetime: Television for Hangovers movie The Client List, about a young wife who needs to make ends meet so she becomes a prostitute. Now, like USA's The Starter Wife before it, Lifetime has decided to turn that TV movie into a TV series, which Hewitt will produce and star in. So J.Lo.H. has a new TV show! You're next, Chabert.

- Pork-based actor Kevin Bacon might soon have his very own HBO show. The not-TV network has ordered a pilot for Valentine, a half-hour show about a down-and-out, thrice-divorced shock jock radio man. That could be fun! I'd like to see him dressed up like Don Imus with the cowboy hat and bushy gray hair and rotting face and everything. Could be good. Though, honestly, it kind of sounds like Californication a little bit, what with the whole aging bad-at-relationships guy who is famous in a depressing way kind of thing. But I guess that's OK. Kevin Bacon! [Deadline]
- Because these days everything's nightmares, CBS is apparently working on a TV remake of the popular dark arts series Bewitched. Makes sense. Bewitched remakes always go stirringly well. So I guess we'll have to start thinking about who might play Samantha. (My choice: Mary McCormack.) And I suppose there will be the inevitable casting of Kyle Chandler, only to see him replaced by Kyle Bornheimer. [EW]
- Uh oh! Watch out! Sound the horn three times, because the Others are coming. And by others I mean more actors on Game of Thrones. (I have no idea, just go with it.) Yes, everyone's favorite show about nipple-tweaking has found its cruel, skin-flaying, leech-loving Roose Bolton and its perpetual Eeyore of the Night's Watch, Dolorous Edd. Both actors are well-cast looks-wise, which seems to be par for the course for this well-done series. I know winter is coming, but when is the second season of this damn show coming?? Hurry up already! I want more Jon Snowwwwwww. I'll be your Ygritte, Jonny boy! [Access Hollywood]
- America's answer to the question "What if the bus to Stagedoor Manor drove off a bridge and all the campers came back as ghosts and haunted all of us?" Glee has cast a Friday Night Lights alum. LaMarcus Tinker, who played the big lovable lug Tinker on FNL, will play Amber Riley's new boyfriend, now that sex-lipped Chord Overstreet has left the show to swim upstream with his family. Good for Tinker! Good for Glee for giving Mercedes a boyfriend. Now we just need to have that Darren Criss nude aerobics scene that people have been asking for and we should be all set. [TV Line]
- If you're curious about why Frank Darabont was fired from The Walking Dead, here are a few theories. Mostly it comes down to the fact that Frank Darabont was actually a zombie and was eating too many crew members. Tough break. [THR]
