In what amounts to another big score for Friday Night Lights' resident man-whore, Melrose Place alum Brooke Langton is joining the cast as a love interest for Riggins ( Taylor Kitsch), sources confirm. Langton's character - a single mom who moves in next door to Riggins - first shows up at the end of sweeps. The little cradle robber's on board for at least four episodes.

Speaking of FNL, there's a new episode on tonight. To the uninitiated, please watch.... And spread the word. I really need this show to come back next season. My health and well-being depend on it.
