Yeah, like her career isn't SO 20th Century.
Pale is easily overcome. Besides, WW isn't human - who says she tans?

So very very wrong for this part.
And major Goofy Face
Way too. And too fake looking.
I think we need more stature
Damn. I can't see her as WW, although she'd have made a great Diana Prince.
With that frozen lobotomized 'expression' and no acting ability at all.
While I bow to no man in my admiration for Molly, so NOT right.
How about Christy Carlson Romano? Bring some KIM POSSIBLE butt kicking

Many of the choices would be good--for ONE movie, but for Wonder Woman, the
catch is that TPTB would want an option for a trilogy. 3 movies take time.
Typically you're talking about at least 2 years between movies. Sure LOTR
were annual, but they were essentially one really long movie and the Harry
Potter movies had to expand to 18 months and probably only can do so since
it seems like a national British cause celebre (considering it's written by
the richest private woman in Britain, about British characters, starring all
British actors and possibly filmed all in Britain). So TPTB would want an
actress in her early to mid 20s for the role, because heaven forbid WW
actually has ... gasp ... wrinkles.
Btw, you omitted my preference, Laura Prepon, "Donna" of THAT 70'S SHOW,
born 1980, has a genuine smile but can be tough--and she's tall, a
statuesque 5'10".

Mon Jun 13, 8:33 AM ET
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - The stars of FX's drama "Nip/Tuck"
are getting bonuses just in time for the start of production on the
Golden Globe-winning series' third season.
Sources said Julian McMahon and Dylan Walsh have each received a
paycheck in the $280,000-$320,000 range, with FX providing most of the
money and producer Warner Bros. Television contributing a small
portion.
Both FX and WBTV declined comment on the matter Friday, while the
actors' reps either declined comment or didn't return calls. Production
on the third season begins Monday.
Talks between the actors, who are locked under multiyear deals, the
network and the studio about a possible salary bump had been going on
for months.
The lump-sum bonuses would beef up McMahon and Walsh's per-episode fees
to more than $60,000, according to sources. Co-star Joely Richardson is
also said to have received a bonus going into the third season, which
starts production today.
While actors sign long-term series deals when they are cast in pilots,
it is customary for the cast members on a hit show to renegotiate their
deals after the first two seasons and receive a salary increase.
Getting bonus checks instead of per-episode fee bump increases is more
unusual. Most recently, the principal cast members of ABC's red-hot
freshman dramedy "Desperate Housewives" were each given a bonus
reported to be about $250,000 four months into the run of the show.
Separately, Rhona Mitra is joining the cast of "Nip/Tuck" as a
recurring character.
Details about her character are being kept under wraps, but sources
said Mitra will play a gorgeous and tough New York detective who comes
to Miami to investigate the attack against Dr. Christian Troy
(McMahon).
Mitra most recently co-starred as Tara Wilson on the final season of
David E. Kelley's legal drama for ABC "The Practice" and the first
season of its spinoff, "Boston Legal."

Thu May 26, 8:42 AM ET
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Several high-profile actresses have
been let go from shows freshly picked up by UPN, Fox, NBC and the WB,
days after the networks unveiled their fall lineups to advertisers.
Shannen Doherty, star of UPN's new comedy "Love, Inc.," will not be on
the show when it premieres in the fall.
"Shannen is a terrific actress," a UPN spokeswoman said. "We simply
decided to take the show in a different creative direction." Doherty's
"Love, Inc." co-star, Holly Robinson Peete, will continue on the show.
"Love, Inc." was going to be Doherty's first series since the WB's
"Charmed," which she left after three seasons. Before that, she was
fired from Fox's "Beverly Hills, 90210."
At Fox, Rachael Leigh Cook is departing the new drama series "Head
Cases." The show stars Chris O'Donnell as a successful lawyer with a
nervous breakdown who teams up with a lawyer with an anger problem (
Adam Goldberg).
Two actresses, Sarah Clarke of "24" fame and Leonor Varela, are said to
be leaving NBC's high-profile new drama, the Pentagon-set "E-Ring." In
the pilot, which stars Benjamin Bratt and Dennis Hopper, Clarke played
the wife of Bratt's character, while Varela played a lieutenant
colonel. Both roles are now being reconceived, sources said.
At the WB, Laura San Giacomo ("Just Shoot Me") is no longer part of the
cast of the "Related," a drama that revolves around four adult sisters
in New York. The other actresses are Jennifer Esposito, Lizzy Caplan
and Laura Breckenridge.
At UPN, Sara Foster, who co-starred in the pilot for "South Beach,"
will not continue on the midseason drama.
Additionally, the female lead on Fox's upcoming comedy series "The
Loop" is now vacant. The role in the pilot was played by Becki Newton.
The ongoing shuffling of female characters is not limited to new
series. Sasha Alexander is leaving the CBS crime drama "NCIS," while
Monica Potter and Rhona Mitra are departing ABC's "Boston Legal."
Julie Bowen ("Ed") will join David E. Kelley's "Boston Legal" when the
drama returns for a second season in the fall. "Boston Legal" is said
to be looking to add another female character.
Also on a lookout for possible new female cast additions are NBC's new
comedy "Four Kings" and CBS' returning drama "Numbers," sources said.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - David E. Kelley's Emmy-winning legal drama
"The Practice" will bow out May 16 after eight seasons.
The final episodes of the ABC show will set up a spinoff series, which has been
given a 22-episode order by the network for the fall.
Sources said the pickup is not contingent on any actor, but speculation is that
the latest additions to the show -- James Spader and Rhona Mitra -- have been
approached for the spinoff.
In an episode to air this season, Spader's character, Alan Shore, is set to
quit the firm for the high-priced world of civil law, where the new series will
be set. Details about the spinoff are still sketchy, but it is said to be
lighter in tone than "The Practice."
Sources said Kelley, ABC and producer 20th Century Fox TV evaluated creatively
the options of picking up "The Practice" for a ninth season or spinning off the
series into a new drama before mutually agreeing on the latter.
"David, with the help of a truly extraordinary cast, accomplished the
impossible this season: They breathed new life into a show that had been on the
air for seven years," ABC entertainment president Susan Lyne said. "Now it's
time to take this series to the next level by moving it to a bigger, more
complex law firm where David can introduce new characters and a broader range
of legal and personal stories."
"The Practice" was on the fence in the spring until clinching an eleventh-hour
pickup for an eight season. The pickup was followed by the high-profile cast
shake-up by Kelley, who let go of such original cast members as Dylan McDermott
and Lara Flynn Boyle and brought Spader and Mitra on board.
"This is very gratifying," Kelley said. "Last year it seemed that the series
was over. Instead, we've been given the opportunity to evolve and go on. We
look forward to the future."
Returning to its regular Sunday 10 p.m. slot, "The Practice" rebounded from an
ill-fated scheduling move to Monday last year. While far from its dominating
ratings performance of several years ago, the show still regularly held on to
or built on its "Alias" viewers and demo lead-in, ranking third in the time
period behind NBC and CBS.

Practice makes perfect
September 21, 2004
James Spader is relishing his provocative TV role as attorney Alan Shore.
Michael Idato reports.
James Spader is no stranger to oily characters. Most people still associate
him with the voyeuristic, slightly creepy Graham in Steven Soderbergh's Sex,
Lies and Videotape.
Spader played a brilliant creep. He even has the best actor award from the
Cannes Film Festival to prove it. And they're not handing those out to every
Tom, Dick and Graham.
Spader has spent the past 15 years working in interesting, but peripheral,
films such as White Palace, opposite Susan Sarandon, and the science fiction
drama Stargate. Now, on TV, he has struck oil again. This time he is playing
Alan Shore, a lawyer of questionable ethics who arrived in the David E.
Kelley drama series The Practice like a hurricane. Spader describes him as
"endearing and appalling, at the same time, at the same moment".
This is not to say The Practice, in its pre-Spader life, was in the
doldrums. Anything but.
Once upon a time, it was the darling of the TV schedule. The serious half of
Ally McBeal (the two programs crossed over once, in a highly publicised
stunt), it was adored by critics, who praised its inventive storytelling,
fearlessness and intriguing characters. It won Emmy awards in 1997 and 1998
for best dramatic series.
However, since then The Practice's star has fallen. Audiences have
declined - in both the United States and Australia - and the Emmy voters, a
famously fickle lot, have moved on to The Sopranos, The West Wing and Six
Feet Under. In the US last year, a chronic case of timeslot tap-dancing left
the show, quite literally, on the brink of ruin.
The US network ABC insisted producer David E. Kelley halve the cost to $US3
million ($4.3 million) an episode. Kelley axed six characters, including
series leads Dylan McDermott and Lara Flynn Boyle. Co-stars Camryn Manheim,
Steve Harris, Michael Badalucco and Jessica Capshaw stayed and producers
Kelley and Bob Breech took a gamble on Spader in the role of the deliciously
complex Alan Shore.
"I had never seen the show," Spader says candidly. "I came into this with no
preconceptions whatsoever." Kelley's motivation in hiring him, Spader says,
was to dismantle the natural order of The Practice with a character who was
completely contrary to the expectations of the other characters, and the
audience.
"He isn't an easy person to live with," Spader says. "He is provocative in
the real sense of the word. He's someone who provokes everyone and
everything he encounters."
The addition of Spader has transformed transformed The Practice into a more
robust, more complex drama than it has been in the preceding couple of
years. The downside is that we know the end is coming.
The US network ABC, with mixed feelings about its performance and direction
in its final year, has decided not to renew the series for another. Taking
its place is a spin-off of a sort, Boston Legal, described as "a new drama
set in the high-priced, high-end world of civil law".
It will star Spader, as Alan Shore, and will also migrate two recruits to
The Practice - Rhona Mitra, who plays paralegal Tara Wilson, and William
Shatner, who joins the final season of The Practice from its 17th episode as
lawyer Denny Crane. (Australian actor Vince Colosimo, who appears in the
final six episodes of The Practice as lawyer Matthew Billings, has not been
signed to do Boston Legal.)
Whether the imprimatur of Kelley is enough to ensure success is difficult to
say. Picket Fences, Chicago Hope and Ally McBeal were hits but, since then,
his career has been dotted with failures, notably Girl's Club, Snoops and
The Brotherhood of Poland, New Hampshire.
Kelley has declared his desire to move forward. "There was a sameness to the
story lines we were writing," he says. "[In the final season] I found myself
naturally gravitating to Alan Shore. He was such a new and different animal
that made the series more interesting."
Kelley says the opportunity to transform The Practice into something new is
gratifying. "Last year it seemed that the series was over. Instead, we've
been given the opportunity to evolve and go on."

Two editions of the series Extreme Makeover seem especially appropriate for
ABC's fall 2004-05 schedule, since the beleaguered network's lineup is
undergoing quite an overhaul itself.
The most surprising move in new ABC Primetime Entertainment President Stephen
McPherson's fall schedule, which was unveiled Monday at the New Amsterdam
Theater in New York during the network's annual upfront presentation: no Alias.
The butt-kickin' spy drama starring Jennifer Garner will instead stay off the
air until January, when its fourth season will unspool, sans reruns.
In Alias' Sunday night time slot this fall: Desperate Housewives, a soapy drama
about a suburban wife (Twin Peaks' Sheryl Lee) who kills herself, but continues
to watch over the Knots Landing-ish shenanigans of her cul-de-sac neighbors.
Melrose Place and General Hospital writer Charles Pratt Jr. produces the show,
which also stars former Melrose baddie Marcia Cross, Lois & Clark's Teri
Hatcher, Sports Night's Felicity Huffman and Eva Longoria (Dragnet and The
Young and the Restless).
Housewives is part of the network's bigger strategy to depend on drama series
to revive its place in the network wars. Overall, ABC will add seven new dramas
to its schedule--three at midseason--plus two new comedies and two new reality
series.
"Every night we ask tens of millions of Americans to invite us into their
homes, and it's our responsibility to give them a reason to let us stay. I
believe these programs, and this schedule, does just that," said the sound
bite-ready McPherson.
Tens of millions of viewers may actually be a ratings dream for ABC, the
fourth-place network that, in last week's ratings battle, for example, didn't
have one show in the top 10 and finished the week averaging just 8.3 million
viewers.
The network, which has yet to recover from the nose dive its ratings took in
2001 when viewers decided they'd seen one--or 12--too many installments of the
overplayed Who Wants to Be a Millionaire in prime time, is not only leaning on
dramas to boost its profile, but is also looking to TV veterans like Patrick
Dempsey (news), Steven Bocho, Tim Daly and Kelly Osbourne --in a dramatic
role--to lure viewers back to its lineups.
A rundown of ABC's other new series:
The Benefactor (fall): Eccentric billionaire and owner of the Dallas Mavericks
Mark Cuban looks to--forgive us--trump NBC's successful reality series The
Apprentice with his own competition, in which 16 butt-kissers endure a series
of challenges to try to prove to Cuban why each of them is worthy of the
million-dollar prize he's offering.
Rodney (fall): Comedian Rodney Carrington is the latest stand-up comic to get
his own sitcom, this one--surprise--featuring him as an everyday guy trying to
be a decent husband and father. Very Home Improvement-y.
Lost (fall): Created by Alias' J.J. Abrams, the drama revolves around a group
of plane-crash survivors who are trapped on a deserted island. Stars Lord of
the Rings' Dominic Monaghan (news), Naveen Andrews (The English Patient) and
Harold Perrineau (Oz).
Wife Swap (fall): A reality series, based on a hit British show, about two moms
who swap families for 10 days and must first follow the rules of the new house,
and then implement their own lifestyle for the rest of the time.
Life as We Know It (fall): Based on British author Melvin Burgess' young-adult
novel Doing It, the coming-of-age drama stars Kelly Osbourne (yes, that Kelly
Osbourne) and newcomer Sean Faris (Undressed) and follows a group of sex-crazed
teen boys (is there any other kind?) and their girlfriends. The series is
produced by Freaks and Geeks producers-writers Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah.
Savages (fall): Keith Carradine (Deadwood) stars as a single dad who tries to
wrangle a brood of five rowdy boys in a My Three Sons-ish sitcom produced by
Mel Gibson (news) and based on Gibson's own experiences as the father of five
boys.
The Practice: Fleet Street (fall): James Spader (news) will continue to steal
every scene he's in on this David E. Kelley-produced dramedy spinoff of The
Practice that finds his Alan Shore character working with law cohorts William
Shatner (news), Rhona Mitra (news) and Lake Bell.
Blind Justice (midseason): ER's Ron Eldard (news) stars as a blind detective in
this promising drama from Steven Bochco. The show will fill the timeslot left
when Bochco's NYPD Blue wraps its 11-season run in January. Rena Sofer (news),
from last year's failed NBC sitcom Coupling, also stars.
Grey's Anatomy (midseason): A medical drama starring Patrick Dempsey (The
Practice and Once and Again), Isaiah Washington (Out of Sight), Katherine Heigl
(news) (Roswell) and Ellen Pompeo (Old School).
Eyes (midseason): Tim Daly, last seen as a drug-addicted gambler on The
Sopranos earlier this season and best known for his role on NBC's Wings, stars
as a rogue private eye. Melrose Place star Laura Leighton (news) and The L
Word's Eric Mabius (news) also star.

wife and reality costar, pop singer Jessica Simpson (news); a comedy starring
Jennifer Love Hewitt (news) as a single mom; and a highly-touted John Stamos

lineup.
Among the other changes at ABC next season, substitute news anchor Elizabeth
Vargas will take over Barbara Walters' 20/20 cohosting duties; Chris Cuomo, son
of former New York Governor Mario Cuomo, joins the round-up of anchors on

BOSTON LEGAL. Sunday night at 10, ABC.
The new David E. Kelley ABC series "Boston Legal" isn't really the continuation
of "The Practice," even though several of its final-season players are
showcased. It's more like the reincarnation of "Ally McBeal."
ABC could almost promote it that way: "'Ally McBeal' is back - and back on
track!"
The track in question, of course, is a treacherous tightrope: Cartoonish broad
comedy mixed with likable, if not always credible, characters.
In that regard, "Boston Legal" begins with a distinct advantage: Both James
Spader, as unscrupulous lawyer Alan Shore, and William Shatner, as legal icon
Denny Crane, won Emmys for their work on "The Practice" last year.
Add to that such returning players as Rhona Mitra (Tara Wilson) - whose scenes
with Spader last year were some of the season's most tantalizing and playful -
and Lake Bell (Sally Heep), and you've got a great start.
Finish with attention-getting new regulars, including Monica Potter (from the
film "Head Over Heels") as Lori Colson and Mark Valley (from "Keen Eddie") as
Brad Chase, and you've got the makings of a world-class TV company.
Sunday's premiere (at 10), written by Kelley and directed by Bill D'Elia, sets
all these characters in motion, and conflict, in a very entertaining fashion.
Alan and Brad compete from the start. Tara and Lori compare their respective
hotness factors in the middle. And Denny stares down the barrel of a gun in the
climax.
In between, there are cases about child custody, divorce and racial
discrimination - all three of which are solved in ways that are marginally - if
at all - ethical. The resolutions are surprising, and there are surprise guest
appearances, as well, including one by Sharon Lawrence as a judge.
It's all charming, with the crackle of Kelley at his best.
What I'd love to see is these "Boston Legal" heroes face off in court, from
time to time, against familiar "Ally" faces of old:
Calista Flockhart's Ally vs. Spader's Alan.
Peter McNichol's John Cage vs. Shatner's Denny Crane.
Lucy Liu's Ling vs. Mitra's Tara.
After all, both firms are in Boston, so why not? How many times has a legal
show driven us to root for both sides?
What to root for most, though, is for Kelley to stay involved with "Boston
Legal." If he steps away too far and too early, and the show loses its crackle
and spark, Kelley's absence will be far too noticeable - and regrettable.

Practice makes perfect
September 21, 2004
James Spader is relishing his provocative TV role as attorney Alan Shore.
Michael Idato reports.
James Spader is no stranger to oily characters. Most people still associate
him with the voyeuristic, slightly creepy Graham in Steven Soderbergh's Sex,
Lies and Videotape.
Spader played a brilliant creep. He even has the best actor award from the
Cannes Film Festival to prove it. And they're not handing those out to every
Tom, Dick and Graham.
Spader has spent the past 15 years working in interesting, but peripheral,
films such as White Palace, opposite Susan Sarandon, and the science fiction
drama Stargate. Now, on TV, he has struck oil again. This time he is playing
Alan Shore, a lawyer of questionable ethics who arrived in the David E.
Kelley drama series The Practice like a hurricane. Spader describes him as
"endearing and appalling, at the same time, at the same moment".
This is not to say The Practice, in its pre-Spader life, was in the
doldrums. Anything but.
Once upon a time, it was the darling of the TV schedule. The serious half of
Ally McBeal (the two programs crossed over once, in a highly publicised
stunt), it was adored by critics, who praised its inventive storytelling,
fearlessness and intriguing characters. It won Emmy awards in 1997 and 1998
for best dramatic series.
However, since then The Practice's star has fallen. Audiences have
declined - in both the United States and Australia - and the Emmy voters, a
famously fickle lot, have moved on to The Sopranos, The West Wing and Six
Feet Under. In the US last year, a chronic case of timeslot tap-dancing left
the show, quite literally, on the brink of ruin.
The US network ABC insisted producer David E. Kelley halve the cost to $US3
million ($4.3 million) an episode. Kelley axed six characters, including
series leads Dylan McDermott and Lara Flynn Boyle. Co-stars Camryn Manheim,
Steve Harris, Michael Badalucco and Jessica Capshaw stayed and producers
Kelley and Bob Breech took a gamble on Spader in the role of the deliciously
complex Alan Shore.
"I had never seen the show," Spader says candidly. "I came into this with no
preconceptions whatsoever." Kelley's motivation in hiring him, Spader says,
was to dismantle the natural order of The Practice with a character who was
completely contrary to the expectations of the other characters, and the
audience.
"He isn't an easy person to live with," Spader says. "He is provocative in
the real sense of the word. He's someone who provokes everyone and
everything he encounters."
The addition of Spader has transformed transformed The Practice into a more
robust, more complex drama than it has been in the preceding couple of
years. The downside is that we know the end is coming.
The US network ABC, with mixed feelings about its performance and direction
in its final year, has decided not to renew the series for another. Taking
its place is a spin-off of a sort, Boston Legal, described as "a new drama
set in the high-priced, high-end world of civil law".
It will star Spader, as Alan Shore, and will also migrate two recruits to
The Practice - Rhona Mitra, who plays paralegal Tara Wilson, and William
Shatner, who joins the final season of The Practice from its 17th episode as
lawyer Denny Crane. (Australian actor Vince Colosimo, who appears in the
final six episodes of The Practice as lawyer Matthew Billings, has not been
signed to do Boston Legal.)
Whether the imprimatur of Kelley is enough to ensure success is difficult to
say. Picket Fences, Chicago Hope and Ally McBeal were hits but, since then,
his career has been dotted with failures, notably Girl's Club, Snoops and
The Brotherhood of Poland, New Hampshire.
Kelley has declared his desire to move forward. "There was a sameness to the
story lines we were writing," he says. "[In the final season] I found myself
naturally gravitating to Alan Shore. He was such a new and different animal
that made the series more interesting."
Kelley says the opportunity to transform The Practice into something new is
gratifying. "Last year it seemed that the series was over. Instead, we've
been given the opportunity to evolve and go on."
