Actually, according to an e-mail ABC-TV publicist Erin Felentzer sent to Unfair Park a few days back, Sex and the City creator Darren Star's adaptation of Kim Gatlin's book about a divorced mother of two moving back to the Park Cities is no longer called Good Christian Bitches. Instead, she says, "We are calling it GCB," which isn't surprising but is disappointing. And, keep in mind, that title too isn't set in stone; it'll likely change several more times between now and if/when it airs.

But whatever the title, the pilot will still shoot here -- beginning this month, matter of fact. (Word is, the tentative start date is March 21.)

Which is why word's started trickling out about who's starring -- and who isn't. According to The Hollywood Reporter last week, Christina Applegate passed (damn it); Glee's Jennifer Aspen didn't, which is how she came to be cast as one of the title characters. Last last night, two other actors were announced: the ghostbusting Annie Potts and Leslie Bibb. And, according to Deadline.com, Bibb -- one of those actors whose face you know instantly but whose name and credits you can't ever quite remember -- will play the lead character, Amanda Vaughn.
