Nick Lachey Starring in CW Sitcom
Pilot, Will Play a Bachelor
LOS ANGELES Mar 17,
2006 (AP)— Nick Lachey could be looking at another steady TV gig.
Heading toward single status in real life, as his divorce from Jessica Simpson
nears completion, he'll play a bachelor in a sitcom pilot for the new CW
network.
He'll star as Colin, a single man living in
Manhattan, in the comedy "She Said/He Said," CW spokesman Paul McGuire said
Friday. Other cast members are still being hired for the pilot that will shoot
in April, McGuire said.
Whether the show makes it onto CW's schedule will
be announced at the network's first presentation to advertisers May 18 in New
York. CW is a hybrid of the WB and UPN networks.
Marriage was the theme of Lachey's MTV reality
show, "Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica," which featured him and his actress-singer
bride. Simpson filed for divorce in December, seeking dissolution of their
three-year union.
Lachey, 32, gained fame as a member of the boy band
98 Degrees. Simpson, 25, made her big-screen debut playing Daisy Duke in "The
Dukes of Hazzard" movie.
Lachey's role in the pilot was first reported by Us
Weekly magazine.
