CHANNING TATUM IN "PETER PAN BEGINS". SALMA HAYEK IN "HERE COMES THE BOOM". TIM ALLEN & TOM HANKS IN "JUNGLE CRUISE". DARREN STAR'S NEW SHOW "GOOD CHRISTIAN BITCHES"

If summer puts you in the mood for nice romantic comedies you might like ONE FOR THE MONEY, which will premiere this July starring Katherine Heigl as a down-and-out woman who takes a last-ditch job working for her cousin's bail bond business, and her biggest client turns out to be her high-school heartbreaker. Her partner in the film will be dashing Jason O'Mara whom we will be seeing this summer as the lead in Stephen Spielberg's pre-historic show TERRA NOVA. The film is based on the popular book by Janet Evanovich.
SHORT HEADLINES *Channing Tatum will star in PETER PAN BEINGS, an adventure film which will trace the origins of the eternal boy Pan. *Nicholas Hoult (the new JACK THE GIANT KILLER) will star in WARM BODIES, a crazy film about an existentially tormented zombie who begins an unlikely friendship with the girlfriend of one of his victims. *Salma Hayek and Kevin James will star in HERE COMES THE BOOM,  a comedy about a teacher who moonlights as a mixed martial arts fighter in order to save his school's music program. *Tom Hanks and Tim Allen will star in JUNGLE CRUISE, Disney's expensive film based off the Magic Kingdom theme park ride (a steamboat which floats through
African wilderness).

Here are some fresh news on upcoming TV projects: Jenna Elfman (DARMA AND GREG) will lead ABC's new show BAD MOM, a comedy about a mom who has relied on her own mother to take care of her kids. When her mother decides to get her life back, she's left alone to take her of her children but is not so good in it. ABC is also collaborating with famous Darren Star on GOOD CHRISTIAN BITCHES which is planned as a top show in the line of DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES and SEX AND THE CITY.
In the show, Leslie Bibb will play Amanda, once the ultimate mean girl in high school, who returns home to Dallas after her marriage ends in scandal only to become the center of salacious gossip from the community's churchgoing wives. On the other side, Jaime King and Rachel Bilson will star in CW's HART OF DIXIE, a dramedy about a young New York City doctor (Bilson) who inherits a medical practice in a small Southern town inhabited by an eclectic and eccentric group of characters. Jaime King will play a beautiful, overly effusive young woman, one of the elite "Blue Belles", a group of southern debutante-types who keep the town history alive by performing in period dress.
