Leave it to Fox to milk American Idol for all it's go. Kellie Picker is going to play a naive small-town Southern girl (a far stretch from reality) in a half hour comedy. I can't wait until they write in a scene where she has to eat CAALLAAMMAAARRIII and SSAALLLMMMOOONNN. Oh and wait.. we can't for get minx. Sigh - I have a feeling any one of us could come up with their pilot.

Fox is developing a half-hour comedy revolving around "American Idol" finalist Kellie Pickler, says Variety. Pickler will play a naive small-town Southern girl -- a character based on herself -- who discovers that her biological father is the state's well-respected governor. His presidential dreams are put in jeopardy, but the two form a father-daughter relationship that winds up helping his standing in the polls.
Twentieth Century Fox TV is behind the project, along with Watson Pond and "Idol" producer 19 Entertainment. Watson Pond's Brad Johnson and 19's Simon Fuller and Malcolm Young will executive produce. Chris Peterson and Bryan Moore ("That '70s Show") will write and create the project, which has landed a script order. (source)
