Elisha Cuthbert (
24) has landed the female lead in
NY-LON, a CBS drama pilot based on a
British series that starred
Rashida Jones and Stephen Moyer. The premise: A New York City teacher/record-store clerk embarks on a cross-continental romance with a London stockbroker. (Get it - NY-LON? Took me a minute, too.)
Also cast in the pilot, says the
Reporter, are
Caterina Scorsone (
1-800-MISSING) and
Johnny Whitworth (
CSI: Miami), playing Cuthbert's roommate and ex-boyfriend, respectively. -
