Royal gambit
Alicia Silverstone hasn't given up on television despite the tepid reception her romantic drama "Miss Match" drew on NBC last year.
The attractive actress has signed to star in "Queen B," a Fox comedy sitcom being developed by former "Seinfeld" scribe Jennifer Crittenden, Reuters News Agency reports.
The sitcom centers on Beatrice (Miss Silverstone), a twentysomething single who was the "queen bee" in high school, but now realizes the skills that once kept her on top don't work in the real world.
"It's kind of a character that we're used to seeing men play, and I'm really excited about it being a woman who is totally self-absorbed and immature and charming enough to get away with it," said Miss Crittenden, who is writing the pilot script.
That's progress, we suppose.
Miss Silverstone, who executive produces the ABC Family animated series "Braceface," next appears in the feature comedy "Beauty Shop."
Miss Crittenden's "Seinfeld" credits include the "Apology" episode starring James Spader, and the "Burning" episode where Elaine learns her boyfriend is a devout Christian. She also worked on "Everybody Loves Raymond" and "The Simpsons."
Back to 'Schoolhouse'
A generation of children learned the nuts and bolts behind government, science and grammar via those animated snippets known as "Schoolhouse Rocks."
