ABC Wants to Watch Kelly Osbourne 'Doing It'
(Wednesday, January 28 09:15 AM)
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Reality star/singer Kelly Osbourne has a family life that could come under the heading "Freaks and Geeks," so it's fitting that she's catching on with two former "Freaks and Geeks" scribes for her first drama series. Osbourne will appear in the ABC drama pilot "Doing It."
Based on the controversial young adult novel by Melvin Burgess, "Doing It" is a coming-of-age story that focuses on three teenage boys, with an emphasis on their sexual explorations. In Burgess' native U.K., the book has become a best seller while coming under fire for its frank discussion of sexual topics.
"Doing It" is slated to be published in the United States this summer.
For the ABC series, Burgess' 16-year-old characters -- Dino (Sean Farris), Jonathan (Chris Lowell) and Ben (Jon Foster) -- have been transplanted to Seattle.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Osbourne will play a love interest for Jonathan. This will be her scripted acting debut, though she was cast in last summer's remake of "Freaky Friday" only to drop out before production began. Her family's MTV reality series "The Osbournes" began its third season on Tuesday night (Jan. 27).
Other additions to the "Doing It" pilot include Missy Peregrym (The WB's "Black Sash") as Dino's girlfriend and Marguerite Moreau ("Wet Hot American Summer") as the inevitable sexy literature teacher.
The pilot was written by Jeff Judah and Gabe Sachs ("Freaks and Geeks"), who will executive produce along with former ABC Entertainment President Stu Bloomberg and Touchstone TV-based producer Francie Calfo.
