it looks like abc has found their next star: nicole richie. yep, the former simple life-er has landed a deal with the alphabet net to produce and star in a half-hour, single camera comedy. the star posted the news on her official blog yesterday and the internets went crazy. the show, which is as of yet untitled, will revolve around a character richie developed herself: a young woman balancing the professional and personal worlds. hmm ... isn't that the background of every female-driven sitcom? richie was reportedly inspired by all the women she's come in contact with in the past couple of years. richie writes:
"it amazes me to watch and observe how many different ideas there are about what a woman's role should be in this era. i've taken these fascinating ideas, and compiled them into something that i think will be very special (and funny!)."the good news is that abc looks to be extremely passionate about this project and have compiled some pretty heavy hitters to help assemble the pilot episode. daisy gardner, a writer for tina fey's 30 rock, will pen the first episode's script while warren bell and jamie tarses will executive produce. the duo is no stranger to the alphabet net, with bell having served as show-runner for the long running according to jim and tarses having been in charge of the network for a period in the 90s. the show is still in its beginning stages, but will probably go into production in the next couple of weeks to be in contention for spring pilot season. if the net likes the show, then they'll pick it up for fall 2010. richie isn't known for being an actress, but has made several one-off guest appearances on shows like chuck, eve and 8 simple rules. i hope this show gets picked up just so we can all see it. if the show lands a spot on the fall schedule, then richie will be one busy woman. she's a mom to two, a fashion and jewelry designer and an author. quite the resume for a girl know just as "paris hilton's bff" less than a decade ago.
