Is there something you should know, that I should tell you now, about Samantha Who? Well, should is a strong word, but how about this: Duran Duran bass player John Taylor has booked himself a gig on the ABC comedy.

Hungry like a wolf for details? This much I know: The notorious wild boy, who has pretty much zero acting credits to his name, will be playing a lawyer nuclear physicist rocker in one of Season 2's episodes. And no, his name is not Rio.

Production on Samantha Who? resumed on Monday as series lead Christina Applegate returned to work, having recuperated from a successful double mastectomy in response to a breast cancer diagnosis. The show's season premiere has been pushed back a week, to Oct. 13, thanks to a certain greedy Dancing show. - Matt Mitovich
