**MickBeth** · 03-01-2007, 08:09 AM

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Arielle Kebbel has joined the starting lineup of ABC's one-hour pilot "Football Wives," which revolves around women whose lives are transformed when they marry NFL superstars.

Kebbel will play the younger sister of one of the wives ("Lost" co-star Kiele Sanchez) who adapts quickly to her sister's new lifestyle. Kebbel's feature credits include "John Tucker Must Die" and "The Grudge 2."

Gabrielle Union and Lucy Lawless were previously announced as wives, while Ving Rhames will play the GM of a football team. The project is based on the popular British primetime soap "Footballers' Wives."

Great news!!!

Hum, hopefully is a good show. I think its good to see Arielle get a show because I dont see her that often.

I hope they dont make this like the other ABC produced show Playmakers, because its sounds like it could be a bit similar.

I am sure vulture will do a kick ass job with updates to his site!!

Heh if Arielle will have magazine shoot, promo shoots, interviews and what not, heck ya. Arielle has always been inconsistant with activity. I hope this show takes off just for her.

i agree! Lets hope for the best.

Finally some news... after constantly looking at IMDB for more information on Daydreamer or Forever Strong... this news comes as a blessing, thank you.

Well, so far lately, I only watch one primetime show... and it's "24", because no matter what everyone says, Jack Bauer is the MAN.

But I wouldn't mind at all seeing the very lovely Arielle Kebbel on a weekly basis.

So she's gonna portray Kiele Sanchez's younger sister in the show...

Very believable, if you ask me.

I'm hoping Arielle's character has an affair with sisters's husband (stepbrother)... they said she (Arielle's character) "adapts quickly" to her sister's new lifestyle... so here's me hoping

P.S.: The independant movie Daydreamer, the one directed by Arielle's boyfriend didn't make it to the Sundance Film Festival this year. The movie will however be shown at the Vail Film Festival by the end of march.

As much as I like Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland)... I don't daydream or fantasize about him... A good 1 or 2 hours show is enough for me, when it's done, I either feel satisfied about the episode I watched or I can't wait to see the next one.

As for the lovely Arielle Kebbel, I'm hooked... it's daydreams, fantasies and hopes (to see her next movie, series or photoshoot). Yeah, you can say she has become one of my little obsessions... that's why I love to talk about her in these forums or messageboards. I love to see what other people think about her, and sometimes I try to "convince" other people to like her.

For me, Arielle Kebbel is not only a very beautiful young woman (I should say drop dead gorgeous), she's one of those actresses that makes me wanna see movies I don't usually see. I've almost seen her entire filmography (every movies or series she's been in).

There were other actresses in the past that had the same effect (and still have sometimes): Fairuza Balk, Mia Kirshner and Selma Blair.
