The multi-camera comedy centers on the newly sober Christy, a single mom trying to pull her life together in the Napa Valley. The West Wing‘s Allison Janney plays Faris’ character’s mom. Jones is a Breaking Bad grad — he played Jesse’s pal Badger — who also has appeared on Hawaii Five-0 and NCIS and plays Zeke in the upcoming “The Farm” episode of NBC’s The Office. TVLine also has learned that Spencer Daniels — best known as Meredith’s son Jake on The Office — has been cast as Luke, the boyfriend of Christy’s daughter Violet. RELATED | TVLine’s 2013 Pilot Guide: Get the Scoop on This Fall’s (Possible) Newcomers and Who’s in Them In related news, Nate Corddry (Harry’s Law) has signed on to play Gabriel, Christy’s handsome, married boss. If Mom gets a green light (and if Two and a Half Men returns for an 11th season, as many expect it will) that would bring to four the number of shows Lorre will have on the air next fall, joining the already renewed The Big Bang Theory and sure thing Mike & Molly.

Hollywood Life: ‘The Originals’ Scoop: Leah Pipes Joins ‘Vampire Diaries’ Spin-Off

Hollywood Life Latest Hollywood Gossip, News & Celeb Pics

'The Originals' Scoop: Leah Pipes Joins 'Vampire Diaries' Spin-Off Feb 12th 2013, 02:06 Leah will play Camille, an intelligent human with no knowledge of vampires — yet. The Originals is getting its first taste of human blood! Leah Pipes has been cast on the back-door pilot of The Vampire Diaries‘ spin-off as Camille, described by The Hollywood Reporter as a college psychology student fascinated by the study of human behavior unaware of the supernatural universe that exists around her.” Of course, if she’s anything like Elena (Nina Dobrev), it won’t take long for her to figure out her supernatural surroundings! Though there’s already a ton of hype surrounding The Originals, it hasn’t officially been picked up for The CW’s 2013-2014 season. It will air as a back-door pilot April 25, when fans will get their first bite — so to speak — of what’s to come. Joseph Morgan will star in the potential spin-off as the original Original Klaus, who returns to New Orleans to raise a little hell. (Well, a little more hell.) It was recently announced that The Game actor Charles Michael Davis will play Marcel, Klaus’ former protegé, who is described as “wicked, wild and charismatic.” Daniel Gillies will also be reprising his Vampire Diaries character Elijah, and will be forced to align himself with Marcel’s enemies in order to help Klaus “find redemption.” (Sounds like Elijah will be playing the Stefan to Klaus’ Damon this time around, no?) Also on board The Originals is Phoebe Tonkin, who will continue to play Hayley; and Daniella Pineda and Danielle Campbell, who will originate the bewitching roles of Sophie and Davina. It sounds like this pilot, which will be written by The Vampire Diaries‘ executive producer Julie Plec, is really starting to take shape! Keep your fingers crossed that The Originals will be joining its parent show in the fall, as it was already picked up for a fifth season. Are you more excited for The Originals than ever? Drop me a comment with your reaction to this new casting!

Hollywood Life: ‘Buckwild’ Star Salwa Amin Arrested In Drug Raid

Hollywood Life Latest Hollywood Gossip, News & Celeb Pics

'Buckwild' Star Salwa Amin Arrested In Drug Raid Feb 12th 2013, 01:45 It sounds like Salwa might be a little more wild than her MTV bosses had hoped. The reality star was arrested on Feb. 10 in a drug raid outside of Charleston, WV! Read on for all the details. With a show called Buckwild, you’d expect the cast members to be a little out of control, but who saw this coming? Salwa Amin, the 24-year-old star of MTV’s new reality show, was arrested on Feb. 10 during a drug raid that turned up Oxycodone and heroin! Summersville Police Chief J. Nowak spoke with E! News, telling the outlet that Salwa was arrested alongside two other men after an informant revealed to the drug task force that a shipment of narcotics was being delivered to a home using a car with Michigan license plates. ‘Buckwild’s Salwa Amin Caught With Oxycodone After receiving the tip, the authorities immediately began surveilling the Nicholas County property and quickly noticed the home’s frequent in-and-out foot traffic. Once a search warrant was obtained, the officers moved in and found the MTV star and two men, Shawn Booker and Jason Jones, the owner of the house, hiding in a shed outside. After a search, a large quantity of Oxycodone was found in Salwa’s purse, while Shawn had a large amount of cash on his person. On top of that, three bags of heroin were found in the shed! Chief Nowak said that Jason told officers that Salwa and Shawn had brought the drugs to his house to later distribute to other parties. All three have been charged with possession on intent to deliver. As of press time, they remain in county jail with bail set at $200,000. ‘Buckwild’ Season 2 — Without Salwa? The seriousness of this charge almost certainly means that Salwa will not be involved in the recently ordered second season of Buckwild. The first season of the show, MTV’s attempt at replicating the magic of Jersey Shore with small town West Virginia youth, premiered on Jan. 3. Are you surprised that Salwa was involved in such a serious crime, HollywoodLifers? E!

Is it a love letter to Chris Brown? Read on to watch the video and let us know what you think! Just one day after Rihanna performed her new single, “Stay,” at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards on Feb. 10, the singing siren has debuted her sexy music video for the song! “Stay” — the second single off her 2012 album, Unapologetic – and its accompanying video have to be one huge love letter to the singer’s beau, Chris Brown! Rihanna Talks About ‘Stay’ Music Video Shoot While on the red carpet at The Grammys, Rihanna, 24, spoke to Ryan Seacrest about the video’s shoot, saying, “The video was really, really simple. I pretty much stayed put in a bathtub and we shot it really tight, really close.” She continues, “There’s Mikky Ekko in the video, as well, which is — this is the first time I’ve ever collaborated with him, so I’m excited about that, because he’s actually the one who wrote the song, and I kind of just fell in love with it so much, and in love with the tone of his voice, so we wanted to keep him a part of it. So you’ll see him in the video.” Rihanna’s ‘Stay’ — The Emotional Lyrics The song, with lyrics that include, “Not really sure how to feel about it/Something in the way you move/Makes me feel like I can’t live without you/And it takes me all the way/I want you to stay” has to be directed at on-again boyfriend Chris, 23, right? While that remains a debate, she did tell Ryan about how she has to prepare to sing the gorgeous ballad. Rihanna Singing ‘Stay’ — How She Prepared Herself “Um, it’s a very emotional song and it’s personal, so you just think about, it’s almost like telling a story. And when you tell a story, even to yourself, you know, if you say it out loud and expressing the way you feel, it needs to be powerful because it needs to be authentic.” WATCH: Rihanna’s ‘Stay’ Music Video Watch Rihanna’s new video for “Stay” below, and let us know, HollywoodLifers: Is this her best music video yet?
