For those looking for news of any kind, here's a little treat. I stumbled on this just a few minutes ago. On Entertainment Weekly.com there's a little bit of this, a little bit of that to promote the new SVC series. Francine also reveals how little she knows about the movie (still a musical) and about reality shows (she did a teensy bit of research for Lila's subplot). And there's a scene with Jessica skipping out on her work responsibilities.
My reaction was more along the lines of, "Hmmmm ..." but you can judge for yourself :)
