Candace Bushnell isn't the only one looking to (finally) cash in on her writing with the TV spin-off of Lipstick Jungle — Brooke Shields is on board, too. With enough time in between getting branded on Nip/Tuck and shooting Colgate commercials, Shields is taking a starring role in the NBC script.

Shields will play Wendy, a movie exec at a Miramax-esque studio who's working on her Oscar hopeful picture "while placating her unemployed hubby at home."

Which is all sorts of ironic, given that Brooke's real-life husband Chris Henchy has been out of work for two years.
