Fresh off her split from Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore is taking some time off from answering exasperatingly stupid questions about changing her Twitter handle, to develop a new television series.  The show, set to air on Lifetime somewhere between Project Runway and schmaltzy, unintentionally hilarious original movies, will focus on women’s empowerment.

Creating a thirty-second promo for a movie is a tough job. It needs to entice and reveal without spoiling, and it has to be memorable despite the time constraint. There probably is a science to crafting the perfect teaser, but you can throw that out the window; whoever made the promo for Lifetime’s Drew Peterson: Untouchable starring Rob Lowe has transcended the medium and turned it into an art. Even Drew Peterson himself is entertained by it. Take a look below, while enjoying an ice cold Belvedere martini.

Fact: Everyone loves movies in which old Southern women sit around and talk about stuff. That is why Steel Magnolias is on TV at least four times a day. The other reason: it has the best all-star cast of any movie to be described as having an all-star cast. Some might say that Steel Magnolias is sacred ground upon which no man shall build, but Deadline Hollywood reports today that Lifetime is developing a remake of the classic tear-jerker. A great man once said, you've gotta have a gimmick, and Lifetime's bold move involves an all African-American cast. CHECKMATE!

That an Amanda Knox biopic would be made was inevitable. The ingredients are just too good. In 2007, the 20-year-old, all-American gamine (pictured) was studying abroad in Perugia, Italy when she was accused of violently murdering her roommate in the wake of a drug-fueled orgy. After an eleventh month trial and no end of did she? didn’t she? media speculation about “Foxy Noxy,” an Italian court found her guilty and sentenced her to 26 years in prison. She’s currently trying to appeal the verdict, but Lifetime isn't holding its breath. The Amanda Knox Story has been greenlit for production and should air sometime next year. See who’ll play her after the jump.

Lifetime better get their fashion act together if they plan to succeed as the new home of Project Runway. Turns out the weepy network has a new MOW about fashion legend Coco Chanel -- and according the New York Times, it's not so good. (Why the Times is reviewing anything from Lifetime is anyone's guess.) The movie is rife with inaccuracies, starting with the actresses playing Chanel ... that being Barbara Bobulova as young Coco and screen legend Shirley McLaine as the older Coco. Suffice it to say, neither resemble the original. NYT critic Linda Stasi summarized the film thusly: "Clearly the filmmakers are striving for La Vie En Rose, but end up with La Vie En Dull." If you must, catch Coco on Lifetime September 13.
