As the fear of actor's strikes begin to subside, studios are shelving their "reality" shows and getting new deals ready for the storyboards.

Jennifer Lopez is jumped on the bandwagon as she served her plots and plans on a platter and NBC took a big bite.

The Cell star has several episodes already planned, using her early years as inspiration. "I remember very vividly the ages when you're coming out of eighth grade and going into high school. You know, when you're kind-of awkward and then you find your coolness?" J. Lo chuckles. "There are so many stories from my life that will make great half-hour sitcom episodes."

Maybe the alleged home video with her ex will emerge for the seasoner opener.
