Today September 24 is Jessica’s birthday! I’d like to wish her a great one, and hope all your wishes come true! <3 Enjoy your day!! Be sure to wish J a happy birthday on the chat box!

It’s over guys.

OMG at Jessica’s part – that was the only time I laughed during this.

* From Oscar and Emmy winner Brian Grazer (“A Beautiful Mind,” “Arrested Development”), “Friends With Benefits” is a half-hour comedy revolving around a group of twenty-something singles as they navigate the difficult, and often confusing, world of dating. Ben Weymouth (Ryan Hansen, “Party Down”) is on the hunt for the perfect woman who meets his unique set of standards, while his best friend, Sara Maxwell (Danneel Harris, “One Tree Hill”), is just looking for a man to settle down with and raise a family. Ben and Sara have fallen into the habit of turning to each other for moral and physical support as they wait for Mr. and Ms. Right to arrive. Their friend Aaron (Fran Kranz, “Dollhouse”), a romantic at heart, doesn’t approve of Ben and Sara’s complicated friendship, but he, along with womanizer Hoon (Ian Reed Kesler) and straight shooter Riley (Jessica Lucas, “Cloverfield”), are all distracted with their own dating trials and tribulations.

I find it incredibly funny that her character name is yet again… Riley.

In pilot casting news, three NBC comedies have landed leads: Nick D’Agosto has joined “This Little Piggy,” Jessica Lucas has boarded “Friends With Benefits,” and Ashley Madekwe has been cast in “The Pink House.”

“Benefits” revolves around five twentysomething friends who, until they find “the one,” are content to have “friends with benefits.” Lucas, repped by Gersh and Thruline, will play one of the five.

Great job Jessica and good luck!

My main reason for posting though, is to wish everyone a HAPPY 2010! Say goodbye 2009 and welcome in the New Year! Enjoy and be safe! And expect tons of updates here at JLN!
