MSN has a best of Billy Bob movie list. Bad Santa is number 5, and this part made me laugh.

You'll treasure totally pickled St. Nick wavering in space, his bleary eyes cherishing Lauren Graham's curvalicious rump as she perches on a ladder trimming a Christmas tree -- then reaching out to worshipfully splay his palm over its roundness as if he'd finally snared the Holy Grail.

Curvalicious. Hee.

Lauren Graham inks NBC deal
'Gilmore Girl' signs massive seven-figure deal
By JOSEF ADALIAN
In one of the year's richest TV talent pacts to date, NBC has inked former "Gilmore Girls" star Lauren Graham to a seven-figure development deal.

Peacock will develop a series project around Graham, who had been in demand at several nets and studios in part because of her perceived ability to topline either a comedy or drama project. Net is already eyeing several writers to pair with Graham.

Deal is one of new NBC boss Ben Silverman's first major actor signings since he came to the net in June. It also reps a reunion between Graham and NBC casting exec VP Marc Hirschfield, who worked together a decade ago.

"I cast Lauren on 'NewsRadio,' '3rd Rock from the Sun' and 'Seinfeld' early on in her career," Hirschfield said. "I've been pursuing her aggressively for the past several years after her outstanding work on 'Gilmore Girls.' She truly is a gifted television comedy star."

Graham said she was attracted to NBC because of Silverman's vision for the network.

"Also, after having spent so many years representing the frog on the WB, I am especially comforted to be part of the only other network with an animal mascot," she added.

Thesp played mom Lorelai Gilmore on "Gilmore Girls" from 2000 until 2007 and served as a producer on the WB/CW skein. On the feature front, she'll soon appear in the Greg Kinnear starrer "Flash of Genius" and star with Matthew Perry in "Laws of Motion." Her past feature credits include this summer's "Evan Almighty," "Bad Santa" and "Because I Said So."

As part of the NBC deal, manager John Carrabino will serve as a producer on any series developed for Graham.

During her tenure on "Gilmore," Graham launched a Warner Bros.-based production shingle, Good Game Prods. One project developed under the banner, the online dating show "Boxers or Briefs," is in the works at WB's Studio 2.0.

Great news!

Thanks Nadine

Danke · 09-17-2007, 11:20 PM

I didn´t expect her to go back to tv so soon

But it´s great news. Thanks for it Nadine.

Somehow I like that her manager will be producer of her show. and what does seven-figure development deal mean ? It means money, right?

BelgianWaffle · 09-17-2007, 11:44 PM

I think that means we can look forward to the Emmys of 2010 or something like that. I'm still convinced: at the end she'll get one!

Oh man, she can buy a lot of purses and shoes with that amount of money

Yep it's to do with money.

the_strawberry_girl · 09-17-2007, 11:56 PM

So obviously it's too late for the 2007-2008 tv season. But I hope we get something for 08-09.

A seven figure development deal. Is that referring to the budget or salary or what? Or is it all tied together?

you gotta love her.

This makes me so happy! I'm also surprised that she's going to go back to tv so soon, but I guess this means we'll see more of Lauren

And I'm assuming from comments she's made in the past that it's more likely to be a 30 minute show than a one-hour comedy...
