Forum user ‘Lorenzo’ (thanks!) posted and e-mailed me this item:

Megan Fox (“The Help”) and Dominic Chianese (“The Sopranos”) have joined the cast of the telefilm, toplined by Kaley Cuoco (“Eight Simple Rules”). Here’s how ABC Family’s press materials describe the project, which is targeted for a July premiere date:

“CRIMES OF FASHION follows Brooke (Cuoco), a plain but creative and hard-working student at the top fashion school in the nation, who has come a long way from her tough childhood spent going from one foster home to another as an orphan. She has always dreamed of becoming a fashion designer, and is thrilled to finally be on her way. But, when the grandfather she never knew about passes away, her life is suddenly turned upside down. Not only has he left her his estate, but he’s left her in charge of the family business, as mob boss to one of the top crime syndicates that has been trying to go legit. If that isn’t enough, the handsome new student she’s falling for is actually an undercover FBI agent aiming to get dirt on her to bring down the family empire.

CRIMES OF FASHION will be directed by Stuart Gillard (“Going To The Mat,” “Full Court Miracle”) and is written by David Mickel. Sheri Singer (“Right On Track,” “Jackie, Ethel, Joan: The Women of Camelot”) will serve as executive producer and Kevin Lafferty (“Cadet Kelly”) as producer.”

It was also mentioned that the ABC sitcom featuring Megan “News to Me” was not picked up. That was news to me! Thanks to flickchick for that info.

Ok yes, I know there has not been an update for quite a while. I’m updating today to basically say that the site is not forgotten and will be updated with new material shortly. Happy belated birthday to Megan as according to the data out there, she turned 18 on the 16th of May (so the dirty thoughts don’t seem so sinister anymore now that she is ‘of age’). Anyhow, I might as well add a little something to the site, I’ll add a new video clip, it is a second clip from episode 5 of ‘The Help’, check the video clip section.

According to a user in the forums, Megan’s finishing up work on an ABC ‘movie of the week’ and is a new sitcom pilot for ABC called ‘News to Me’.

‘The Help’ on the WB has been cancelled, so all we can do is look forward to new projects as they come up. The worst part about this? I gotta go through the site and remove all the links to the WB website. Jerks.

Wow, that update was HUGE!
