Casting, Casting
Well, I went to the UPN stars' party tonight at the Paramount lot, and -- when I wasn't talking to ''Veronica Mars'' people -- spotted Busy Philipps, known to some as Audrey on ''Dawson's Creek'' and to me as Kim from ''Freaks & Geeks.'' I didn't remember her being involved with any UPN show -- and finally found out that she has been cast in ''Love, Inc.'' She'll be taking over the Shannen Doherty role. (See below for more about that.)
She had been close to a deal for ''Love Inc.'' but was tied to a contract for a pilot for ABC, and it took a little time to get her out of the ABC agreement. She said she found out that she was free about two hours before the UPN party.
I'll post more about Busy later, as well as some notes from conversations with Rob Thomas of 'Veronica Mars'' and Veronica herself, Kristen Bell. Sounds like an interesting season coming up...
