Today's TWoP News: March 3, 2011

Plenty of pilot news today! Put on your flight goggles!

Elizabeth Hurley may play the villainess Veronica Cale in David E. Kelley's Wonder Woman TV pilot, if she can get around our pesky visa restrictions. Perhaps if Britain agreed to take Kim Catrall, we could come to an arrangement?

Big Love's Ginnifer Goodwin will play Snow White in ABC's fairy tale TV pilot Once Upon a Time. From playing one of three wives to playing a woman with seven male roommates? Polygamy suits her.

More pilot casting news! Angela Bassett will play the lead in an ABC police procedural pilot about identity theft. Also, two Off the Map stars have been cast in an NBC period drama pilot, Sarah Paulson will star in an NBC workplace comedy and Lauren Ambrose will star in a Fox drama about Bellevue Hospital. Big doings!

Kevin Spacey is EGOTing! He'll return to TV to direct, executive-produce and star in an American remake of the British book/mini-series House of Cards. Next up, that elusive Grammy!

Luthortarians rejoice -- Michael Rosenbaum is now a regular on the new series Breaking In, and will appear in all seven episodes.... playing a urine salesman. Hey, it beats the last couple seasons of Smallville. Rimshot!

In case you missed it in your mad dash to follow Charlie Sheen on Twitter (and set a new world's record for Twitter follower accumulation), Keifer Sutherland is now on Twitter. You have 24 hours to get him to follow you, or L.A. is a smoking crater.

Comedians Tim and Eric will get their own movie, starring Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly, Jeff Goldblum, Zach Galifianakis, Will Forte, Robert Loggia and William Atherton. Awesome cast, great job!

Michael Lohan. Amy Fisher. The Salahis. Bai Ling. Could Celebrity Rehab get any trashier? I don't see how.

And finally, you can stop holding your breath -- there will be a Welcome Back, Kotter reunion. Get that lunchbox up on eBay, stat.

I loved the miniseries "House of Cards" but I cannot imagine how they think anyone could replace Ian Richardson. Kevin Spacey is fine, but... Just say no.

Kim Cattrell is Canadian, but of British origin. So she actually has dual citizenship. S your example doesn't work.

I agree with Sara. I don't see how this can end exept in failure.

Spacey is a very good actor, but the late Ian Richardson was fabulous in the miniseries "House of Cards"...his performance cannot be outdone!
