Jaime Pressly rebounds with guest spot on "Raising Hope"

Things haven't been going so great for Jaime Pressly lately.

The Kinston native was arrested and charged with a DUI last month, just before announcing she was divorcing her husband of 13 months.

So we've been starving for some happy Pressly news, and here it is: Pressly will be making a guest appearance on Fox's "Raising Hope" soon, along with fellow "My Name is Earl" co-star Ethan Suplee (who played Randy).

Jaime Pressly arrested on suspicion of DUI

TV Guide is reporting that actress Jaime Pressly was arrested last night on suspicion of DUI.

The Kinston native and former co-star of "My Name Is Earl" was taken into custody in Santa Monica, California, after police performed a field sobriety test.

No word at the moment on whether or not Pressly was released or if she's still in custody. Her bail had been set at $15,000.

Pressly received two Emmy nominations for her role as Joy on "My Name is Earl," and she won the Emmy in 2007. She published a memoir early in 2009 called "It's Not Necessarily the Truth: Dreaming Bigger Than the Town You're From."

Jaime Pressly signed for new sitcom pilot

Emmy-winning Kinston native and former "My Name is Earl" star Jaime Pressly has signed on to do a new sitcom pilot for CBS.

The pilot isn't yet named, but it's from Carter Bays and Craig Thomas, the creators of the very funny "How I Met Your Mother," which is also on CBS. The sitcom will focus on a young unmarried couple (Tommy and Gina) and their friends in Pittsburgh.

According to TV Guide, Pressly will play a veterinarian who works with Tommy (Kyle Bornheimer from "Worst Week") at the zoo. Not only does the sitcom have Bays and Thomas going for it, it's also being co-written by two writers from "HIMYM." 

Pressly won the Emmy for playing Joy Farrah Darville Hickey Turner on "Earl" in 2007, and got great reviews for her part in the 2009 bromance comedy, "I Love You Man." 

Launch My Line: Bravo tries another fashion show

Since "Project Runway" went to Lifetime, poor little Bravo has been struggling to replace that fashionable buzz.

In May, they launched "The Fashion Show" with Isaac Mizrahi and it got mostly panned. People thought it was dull and no "Project Runway"; then "Project Runway" finally aired and it was a mess and no "Project Runway."

Tonight Bravo tries again with "Launch My Line" (11 p.m.), a show that follows professionals established in other fields who decide they want to launch a fashion line.

Jaime Pressly engaged again

Kinston native Jaime Pressly is engaged to entertainment lawyer Simran Singh.

Pressly was overheard Thursday in the lobby of the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego telling a friend that she and Singh (left) are engaged, and Pressly's rep later confirmed the news to US Magazine.

Pressly, who turned 32 on Thursday, starred in the cancelled NBC sitcom "My Name is Earl," and stole scenes as Jon Favreau's wife in the recent hit movie, "I Love You, Man." She has also filmed a sitcom pilot with Simon Rex called "Rex," but the pilot has not been picked up as of yet.

Pressly has a 2-year-old son (Dezi) with former boyfriend DJ Eric Cubiche. She and Cubiche broke up this past November.

'My Name is Earl' cancelled; 'Chuck' teams up with Subway

"My Name is Earl," which stars NC native Jaime Pressly (left), has been cancelled. According to Entertainment Weekly, Ethan Supplee, who plays Earl's brother Randy on the NBC sitcom, confirmed the news via Twitter.

ABC has cancelled the very funny Christina Applegate sitcom
"Samantha Who?" but apparently they are interested in picking up "Earl"
(Fox may also be interested). ABC also officially renewed "Scrubs." Excuse me while I go bang my head against a wall.

Okay, I'm back. Also cancelled:

Could Kinston's Jaime Pressly Be Out of Work Soon?

 

 

Maybe.

This report on Nikki Finke's Deadline Hollywood blog says low-ratings and high costs have put the show in jeopardy on NBC.

But it might have a new home on FOX because an exec there helped create it.
