Casting About: Cumming's Going to Sci Fi's Oz
• Tony winner and newl-he-wed Alan Cumming has joined the cast of Tin Man, Sci Fi Channel's reimagined fantastical take on The Wizard of Oz. In the six-hour mini, Cumming will play Glitch, a character trapped in the Outer Zone (the O.Z., get it?) who's missing half his brain.
• Kirstie Alley will star in And She Was, a Lifetime movie about a middle-aged screenwriter who starts passing off her work via her more demo-friendly, twentysomething nephew (Eric Christian Olsen).
• Not "casting news" per se, but deal with it: Dancing with the Stars' Mario Lopez has joined Extra as a weekend-edition cohost and a daily show correspondent.

Ooh, that sounds good (the Wizard of Oz sci-fi idea). Whatever happened to the proposed hip-hop retelling of the Wiz that had Ashanti playing the role of Diana Ross’ Dorothy and Justin Timberlake playing the Scarecrow?

Kirstie Alley and Lifetime do realize that the Simpson's covered that exact same plotline nearly 14 years ago in "The Front" don't they?
