While there’s nothing terribly lesbian about the announcement that Minnie Driver has signed on to costar in Stage Fright, a musical / horror hybrid about a deranged killer who loathes showtunes and stalks a musical theater camp, it sure is campy as hell!

Oscar and Emmy nominee Minnie Driver has landed the lead in Ilene Chaiken’s new pilot Hail Mary, about a suburban single mom who teams up with a ‘streetwise’ hustler to solve crimes. L Word creator Chaiken was joined Hail Mary as Executive Producer and showrunner, although there has been no word on what will happen with Rhodes to Recovery, a lesbian themed medical drama Chaiken was reportedly developing for CBS.

Ellen and Minnie are pure gold together.

Lisa Kudrow is back as pretty much the worst online therapist ever in Showtime’s Web Therapy 2.0, premiering July 2, and a host of hilarious guest stars is slated to appear including Lily Tomlin and Meryl Streep reprising their quirky characters from the first season.

The driving force behind The L Word andThe Real L Word Ilene Chaiken has sold a crime drama about a San Francisco-based game developer who consults on anti-crime task force.

Arguably television’s funniest Friend, Kudrow returns to TV armed with major guest stars for 'Web Therapy’s second season.

Since The L Word bid its final farewell in March of 2009, its star Jennifer Beals has starred in the short-lived The Chicago Code, and signed on for CBS’s The Widow Detective, which appears to have been shelved. Now, the woman who embodied power lesbian extraordinaire Bette Porter for six seasons, has signed on for the pilot for the nighttime soap Venice (not to be confused with the lesbian-themed Crystal Chappell series) from The L Word helmer Ilene Chaiken.
