Here's some career advice you can take away from the news today: (1) You'll get places in life if you're fearless and have a thing for gross, fat guys; (2) If you're part of a famous singing trio, don't publicize your purity rings; and (3) If you're a famous comedian, don't mock said purity rings unless you want to die. Also, there's news about guest stars, Jennifer Garner, and new comedy shows.

When news broke yesterday that Jennifer Garner had inked a development deal with ABC -- to create shows, not star in them -- a lot of people started speculating that she may get excited about a project and decide to act in it anyway. And while that is a fun idea, I think we all know that Jennifer Garner's not going to go on television (that Rachel Zoe cameo doesn't count) at this point in her career. She's just not! And though it makes me sad, too, who would really want an Alias movie, even on ABC? Jack and Irina are dead. I don't want a two-hour Alias episode with no Jack or Irina in it. But that's not the point. The point is that ABC has gone on record saying that if Jennifer Garner loses her mind and decides to do a guest-stint on an ABC show instead of making successful movies in the near future, they would not stop her. Which means it's time for us to tell her where to go.

At first, the news that ABC would be remaking Charlie's Angels made me roll my eyes in annoyance at yet another remake, as I'm sure it caused most people to do, but after looking closer at the story, I kind of think it could be fun. Josh Friedman, former showrunner of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, is writing and executive producing this remake as well, and he's actually a very smart guy, and a good writer, despite Terminator's storytelling missteps. At the very least, he writes women well, and as long he doesn't fall into the traps of turning Charlie's Angels into a character melodrama, as Fox's Terminator budget cuts forced him to on that show, this could be the kick-ass, female-driven, addictive series that Dollhouse was supposed to be, if they're careful, and if they cast it right. I can't write the scripts for them, but I can tell you who has Angel potential and who is Olivia Wilde (for example). Here are our Charlie's Angels casting hopes and dreams.
