Funnylady Jane Lynch (of The 40 Year Old Virgin and Christopher Guest-movies fame) will play mom to Christine Taylor's small-town-girl-turned-Hollywood-superstar in CBS' untitled comedy pilot being exec-produced and directed by Taylor's husband, Ben Stiller. (It just hit me: Lovespring International's riotous Jennifer Elise Cox included, Lynch will have worked with both "Jan" and "Marcia Brady").... Sara Paxton ( Aquamarine) will star in The Party Never Stops: Diary of a Binge Drinker, a (as if it needs to be said) Lifetime movie about a smart and ambitious college freshman who... turns into a typical college freshman. Nancy Travis plays Paxton's mom.
