Cameo (Word Up)

Better cameo on last night's "Lost":

This guy:


Or this guy:


Between that episode and "Smokin' Aces," it's really been a banner 2007 for Luis from "Suddenly Susan."

Good episode, too.

Spoiled sport

Here's some news that revealed a little more than your average "this pilot is in development" story. Fox has greenlit a pilot for "The Rules of Starting Over," an oddly generic-sounding sitcom starring Craig Bierko. Now, Bierko's been on "Boston Legal" all season, but just this week we found out that he wasn't the father of Denise's baby and his role has gradually decreased from the fall. Add to that the fact that show has a revolving door cast anyway, it's not that surprising that he's got other stuff in the works.

What is slightly more surprising, though, is revealed in the last paragraph: "Rashida Jones also has been cast in the pilot, playing a partner at a law firm looking for a decent guy."

Even if the show doesn't get picked up, that's obviously a big clue for the future of Jaren (not that you couldn't guess it from the way the last couple episodes have went). I was sort of hoping she'd stick around and serve a purpose other than to torture Jim and Pam 'shippers for another season (not that that isn't a noble pursuit). At least I still have Andy.
