Gellar, Priestley, Berkley Lined Up For 'Grosse Pointe'
The WB’s Sunday night comedy "Grosse Pointe" will feature an all-star list of guest stars in February. Kristin Davis ("Sex and the City") appears on the Feb. 4 episode when the actress plays herself, playing a hateful madam in the strip club where Courtney/Laura (Bonnie Somerville) now works in the fictional series within a fictional series. Jason Priestley, who starred for eight seasons on "Beverly Hills, 90210," will act in and direct the Feb. 11 episode. Priestley is the first star from the original cast of "90210" to guest star on the new comedy. The episode will also include an appearance by Sam Rubin, the entertainment reporter for Los Angeles station KTLA/The WB5, as himself. In the Feb. 18 episode entitled "Passion Fish," written and directed by executive producer Darren Star, Marcy (Lindsay Sloane) takes advantage of her casual friendship with Golden Globe nominee Sarah Michelle Gellar ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer") to ask her to guest star on the show. To everyone’s surprise Sarah agrees, but has one condition - that her role includes a kiss with Marcy’s character. Also guest starring in the episode is TV Guide Channel's "Music News" reporter Katie Wagner and TV Guide national writer Mark Schwed, who will get the most out of synergy by writing a story for the magazine about his guest starring experience. On the Feb. 25 season finale, "Grosse Pointe’s" Hunter Fallow (Irene Molloy) and her new beau, Dweezil Zappa (as himself), surprise everyone with their wedding which includes celebrity bridesmaid, actress Elizabeth Berkley ("Showgirls" ). |
Playing herself is no problem. But if I were the producer of the fictional series, I wouldn't have cast Kristin to play a madam. I'll have to watch the episode to see if she can pull it off.
