I Want A Pair....

By all accounts 'Don't Trust The B--- in Apt 23' is pretty hilarious and although it hasn't come to Australia yet I know a few of us will be downloading it just to see The Beek in action. 

The Beek Is Back

A while ago we told you about a new pilot starring James Van Der Beek called 'Don't Trust The Bitch In Apt. 23'.  Well in some good TV news it's been announced that it has been picked up by the ABC and will air soon in the US. 
James stars as himself in what is now called -  "Apartment 23"  The sitcom revolves around the lives of two roommates on opposite sides of the spectrum who learn to co-exist in New York City.
One girl, June (Dreama Walker), is an ambitious, naive Midwesterner ready to reach for the stars and the other, Chloe (Krysten Ritter), is a charming con-artist who takes pride in her conniving ways, especially towards her roommates.  Krysten is a Gilmore Girls alum so we get twice the joy.

The Beek Is Back

Following on from James Van Der Beeks hilarious 'Funny or Die' videos, the Beek has found himself fielding offers for comedy roles.  He has always been highly sought after for dramatic roles but it looks like he has opened up a whole new career for himself.

This season he will co-star in the  TV comedy pilot -Don't Trust the Bitch in Apt. 23.-    The show centers on June (Dreama Walker), an earnest, honest, optimistic girl from the heartland who is forced to move in with Chloe (Krysten Ritter), a sexy, unstable New York City party girl who has the morals of a pirate. James will play Chloe's best friend James Van Der Beek, a heightened version of himself in the vein of Neil Patrick Harris' stint in the Harold & Kumar movies and Matt LaBlanc's starring role on the comedy 'Episodes'. The role, originally named after and destined for former 'N Sync singer Lance Bass, is being completely rewritten for Van Der Beek.
