News & Notes...

Hollywood Reporter says that Christina Vidal has come on board the CW's comedy Girlfriends as a recurring character, playing a tough celebrity fitness trainer. Remember her from Nickelodeon's Taina? I have to admit it, I watched that show religiously. I figured Jill Marie Jones was going to be replaced, but I'm not clear on what direction they're going in with the addition of Christina Vidal...

In other news...expect a very-Brady Thanksgiving on Everybody Hates Chris. Wayne Brady guest-stars on the Nov. 19 holiday-themed episode as Chris' uncle. Also check out Party Fabulous on the Style Network, a one-hour special that follows the behind-the-scenes escapades of the always (ghetto) fabulous Kimora Lee Simmons during Fashion Week. The special airs on September 30 @ 8pm.
