Right, because this is definitely happening, and not an obvious plant by one of three girls' agents in hopes of ratcheting up interest to "make it happen:"

Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan are rumoured to be in talks to star in a sitcom together.
US TV network HBO, which brought us Sex and the City, are reportedly keen to sign up the blonde trio to appear as flatmates struggling to make it big in Hollywood.

Oh, and it just gets better from there. Someone has an extreme case of schadenfreude.

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

"Paris will play a fashion designer who will try anything to get her outfits noticed," the source said.

"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.”

See, if this was fer real, it would be amazing, because Ricky Gervais would slaughter these women. He just would kill them. They'd be as clueless as David Brent on the original Office.

Although if these girls were able to play anything other than characters "inspired by themselves" (i.e. self-absorbed and dense as wood) it would be cramazing. And if Lindsay is going to be Joey, would that make Britney a Chandler who's not mentally stable enough to handle her own affairs?
