She can turn the world on with a smile, but can she turn more viewers on to a sophomore-season drama? Seven-time Emmy winner Mary Tyler Moore has been booked for a multi-episode arc on NBC's Lipstick Jungle, playing mom to Brooke Shields' Wendy.

Moore's alter ego, Joyce, is a retired high-powered executive who forces Wendy to question the ideal of "Having it all."

And then a clown named Chuckles dies and they attend the funeral together. — Matt Mitovich

Hey, I was just asking myself "hmm, was Lipstick Jungle cancelled or not?"

Good looking out, man. :-p

Ha ha ha! You are on a roll today, Matt.

So Sex and the City had Rhoda on season 2 so I guess it makes sense that Lipstick Jungle has Mary on their season two.

I love Mary but I'd like to see her on something I might actually watch.

sassandthecity, so where does that leave poor Phyllis? There's no more Cashmere Mafia. Well, Cloris is probably better off, isn't she?

Will she be bringning along any veteran writers she knows? Maybe a showrunner? Cause as much as I love MTM, I won't tune in to LJ.
