"Malin Akerman has been tipped to star in a new ABC comedy pilot. The Rock of Ages actress is said to be in negotiations to lead the cast of Trophy Wife. Deadline reports that the ABC Studios show received a cast-contingent pilot order earlier this month. A cast-contingent pilot order means that production can usually only get underway when a well-known actor has signed up for the project. Trophy Wife is centered on Kate. Billed as a reformed party girl who falls in love, the show charts Kate&amp;#039;s relationships with her boyfriend&amp;#039;s three children and two ex-wives. The single-camera comedy has been written by Emily Halpern and Sarah Haskins ( ), and the pair will serve as executive producers with Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky (The Office, Hello Ladies). Akerman&amp;#039;s forthcoming projects include CBGB, in which she will play Blondie&amp;#039;s lead singer Debbie Harry.
