It looks like Entourage producer Mark Wahlberg stopped talking to animals long enough to make a new comedy pilot!

The project, called Home Game, was purchased by mega network CBS and should launch into production soon. The show is loosely based on the life of the show’s co-producter, Superbowl vet and NFL pro Mark Schlereth.

Sports! Comedy! Together! Very inventive Mr. Wahlberg. Say hi to your mother for me, ok?

Any thoughts on the new pilot? Is this a money grab on Wahlberg’s part or do you think the show actually stands a chance?

James Franco better watch his back – his little brother, Dave, is hot on his heels.

The littlest Franco has just been cast in a new Fox pilot, “Do Not Disturb.” He’ll play Gus, a regular in the comedy set in a hotel. The Hollywood Reporter described the role as “a roadie for a rock band who gets deserted at the hotel and taken in by the gang.”

Jerry O’Connell and Niecy Nash will star.

Dave Franco has been practicing his comedy skills and endearing himself to the public with hilarious videos he made with James on the FunnyOrDie.com.
