Elizabeth Berkley, who flirted
with the L word during her Showgirls days, is joining the Showtime hit
for a multi-episode arc, sources confirm to me exclusively. She'll play the
straight girl that got away from Jennifer Beals' Bette in college.
Berkley and Beals, in addition
to being real-life buds, co-starred together in the 2002 comedy noir Roger
Dodger. For a glimpse at their sparkling chemistry, check out this popular
YouTube clip, shot behind the scenes on Rodger Dodger.
The L Word's sixth
and final season debuts next January, although Showtime recently announced that
the L-verse would live on in the form of a spin-off -- perhaps
anchored by Beals and Berkley?
