Hey, That Sounds Good - Diablo Cody Times Two!

OK, one of these is a movie, but with lots of TV ties. Fans of "Juno" and "The O.C." will be pleased to hear that Adam Brody, aka that sweet fool Seth from "The O.C.," and J.K. Simmons of "Oz," "Law & Order" and "Juno," have joined the cast of Oscar-winning "Juno" scribe Diablo Cody's next flick. It's called "Jennifer's Body" and stars Megan Fox as Jennifer, a cheerleader gone demonically bad. Brody plays a hunky rocker, Simmons is a science teacher, and we read all about it here.

Meanwhile, John Corbett of "Northern Exposure" and "Sex And The City" has been tapped for "United States of Tara," the Cody-penned Showtime series starring Toni Collette as a woman with that comedy standard, multiple personality disorder. Corbett is her husband, a guy obsessed with finding a way to help her. The pilot's director is Craig Gillespie of "Lars and the Real Girl," which I saw and liked just a few weeks ago. We read all about it here.
