Ever since Joshua Jackson found his way back to television, I've been waiting to see where James Van Der Beek would land next. Here's our answer: He's been picked to star on Fox's pilot Eva Adams. David Denman, maybe best known as Pam's ex-fiance from The Office, will costar.
The description of the pilot sounds . . . well, I'll let The Hollywood Reporter take it:
The hour-long project, from writer/executive producer Kevin Falls and Sony TV, is set at a sports agency and centers on Adam, an egotistic sexist agent who, under a witch's spell, turns into a beautiful woman so he can endure the harassment he's been dishing out.
Yeah, you really got to watch out for those sex change witches.
Anyway, Van Der Beek will play Connor, an agent, former frat boy, and good friend of Adam's. Denman's character is Paul, "a single dad reeling from a devastating divorce."
It's the second sports-themed pilot in a row for Van Der Beek; ABC's Football Wives wasn't picked up a couple of seasons ago. Don't think there were any witches in that one, though, so maybe that will make all the difference. What do you think?

Hmm. Somehow I don't see this one lasting too long.
1There may not have been witches on the ABC Footballer's Wives, but the BBC version had some awesomely insane spirit invokation/goddess of wrath stuff going on with Amber. I really need BBCAmerica to run that show again. Hilarious!
2i totally forgot that he was in football wives since i loved the brit version and it didn't catch here, but this could be interesting. i'd love to see him have more success since he hasn't been in hollywood much lately.
3I was going to ask if this was based on the Argentinian show Lalola, but apparently it is.
4Bisque I was going to post the same thing. Lalola was a great show, funny, original and entertaining. Hopefully the Fox pilot is good too.
5I agree with Suzi
