Not that Chelsea Handler is some under-a-train-tressel dwelling troll, but only in Hollywood could she cast Laura Prepon as her 20-something alter ego.
The former That '70s Show star (who most recently appeared as a guest on the ABC series Castle) has reportedly been cast to play a younger version of the Chelsea Lately host in the NBC pilot Are You There Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea. The show, which will be based on Handler's best-selling booze-and-sex-fueled memoir, could possibly wind up on NBC in the fall.
We don't see enough of our girl Prepon—whom we still crush on, in Donna Pinciotti form, via endless That '70s Show reruns—these days, so this is definitely good news. Can't say we're mad the pilot's supposed tone, either, the operative words being "booze" and "sex." Double score.
