WOO HOO

This just in: Helen Hunt is apparently no longer in the running to replace Maura Tierney (who has had to pull out from illness) in Parenthood. According to an insider, talks between the actress and NBC fell apart and the role of single mom Sarah has now been offered to (wait for it) Lauren Graham! I’m told the Gilmore Girls MVP recently met with Parenthood boss Jason Katims (dream team alert!) to discuss the plum part.

Parenthood is an upcoming series on NBC. http://www.nbc.com/parenthood/

Stars: Dax Shepherd, Monica Potter, Peter Krause (six feet under), Erika Christensen,
