Eddie Cibrian got a job! Finally, an explanation for why LeAnn Rimes was so desperate to convince people that she was terribly ill – she needed Eddie to NOT work and stay home with her. EDDDDDIIIIEEEEE!!!! Bring me the thermometer! Make me some soup! PAY ATTENTION!! According to the trade papers, Eddie was cast in a TV sitcom vehicle for Monica Potter, who is just coming off of NBC’s Parenthood. Potter is producing the sitcom, and will star as an animal-loving woman with three ex-husbands and three children by each husband. It’s called The Kate Winslet Story. No!! Just jokes. It’s untitled for now. Eddie plays one of the ex-husbands.

Monica Potter has found the quartet of men in her sitcom life. Eddie Cibrian, Donald Faison, Josh Hopkins and Rory Scovel have joined the cast of NBC’s untitled sitcom loosely based on the “Parenthood” actress’s life with three ex-husbands, a child by each of them and a new boyfriend.

Cibrian, Faison and Scovel will play her three exes. Hopkins plays a veterinarian who is attracted to Potter’s character, Bridget, an animal lover who brings her rescues to kindly Dr. Tom.

The untitled project was written by Sherry Bilsing-Graham and Ellen Kreamer for Ellen DeGeneres’ A Very Good Production and Warner Bros. TV. Bilsing-Graham and Kreamer exec produce with DeGeneres and Very Good’s Jeff Kleeman. Potter is a producer on the pilot.

According to THR, Eddie will play the first ex-husband, “a slick professional gambler. He remains slightly territorial when it comes to Bridget, even after their divorce. They share a daughter, Jessica.” (Art imitating life?) Do you think this show will get picked up? I think it might, but not because of Eddie. People really like Monica Potter and I think there are lots of people looking forward to Donald Faison’s return to sitcom glory (he is such a talented TV actor). Who knows? This could be really good for Eddie’s career.

BUT LEANN IS STILL SO SICK, you guys. She’s so sick she had to cancel her Las Vegas show this weekend. Why won’t Eddie stay home and look after her properly, you guys? SHE’S DYING.
