娱乐英语新闻：Paris, Britney, Lindsay to star in sitcom

BEIJING, Oct 29 -- U.S. TV network HBO are reportedly keen to sign up the blonde trio, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan - who used to be close friends and were regularly seen partying together in 2006 - to appear as flatmates struggling to make it big in Hollywood, in what has been described as a cross between 'Friends' and 'Ugly Betty'.

    A source revealed to Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "The chemistry between them will be electric.

    "They were very close and have had their ups and downs in the Los Angeles party world but they have overcome those problems now. They can draw from their experiences for the sitcom."

    Show chiefs are said to have approached 'Extras' star Ricky Gervais and 'Desperate Housewives' creator Mark Cherry to pen the script, which will see the trio playing characters inspired by themselves.

Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton(from L to R) are seen in this compound photo.

    The source added: "Paris will play a fashion designer who will try anything to get her outfits noticed.

    "Britney's character is an aspiring singer, but her unusual song lyrics stop her from hitting the big time.

    "Lindsay will be a little like Joey from 'Friends' - obsessed with men and food."
