Angela Kinsey stars in Fox pilot ‘Dirty Blondes’

From Deadline.com:

… a comedy starring Rachael Harris (Hangover) and The Office‘s Angela Kinsey has gone to Fox with a put pilot commitment. Zombieland helmer Ruben Fleischer is set to direct the project, created by Stacy Traub (Glee), Harris and Kinsey and to be written by Traub. Titled Dirty Blondes, the comedy, from 20th Century Fox TV, is based on the real life long-time friendship of Kinsey and Harris. It centers on two women who’ve been friends for 16 years. Both get divorced and are brought closer together by the experience. Traub and Fleischer executive produce, with Harris and Kinsey co-executive producing.

Congratulations, Angela!

P.S. Here’s Wikipedia’s definition of a put pilot.

New producers for final season of The Office

Well, new to producing The Office, but definitely not new to the show itself. :)

Some of you noticed a list of new producers in the opening credits of last week’s episode, New Guys — yes, The Office’s very own Jenna Fischer, John Krasinski, Ed Helms, and Rainn Wilson!

I asked Jenna about this, and here’s what she said:

Yes, we have all been promoted to producers and that will be the case for the entire season.

We will be working closely with the writers to develop the episodes. A few of the things we do are: listen to and pitch story ideas, read and review story outlines before they go to script, and stay after our table reads to discuss the script with the writers.

John and I have been particularly involved in developing the Jim/Pam arc for the season. So we hope you like it!

Greg Daniels oversees all of the creative direction of the show and our amazing writers bring it all to life. We feel privileged to be a small part of the process!

Wow, I am so excited to hear this, particularly for the Jim/Pam story. How about y’all?
