Debra Messing Wed to Starter Wife

After spending eight years as America's favorite fag hag - sorry, fairy princess - on Will & Grace, Debra Messing still can't keep a man. On TV, that is.

She's been signed to play the title role in the upcoming USA Network miniseries The Starter Wife, based on Gigi Levangie Grazer's comic novel about a divorcee looking to redefine her life after being jettisoned from her marriage to a Hollywood studio head. (In an ironic bit of life imitating art, Levangie Grazer separated from her own Hollywood mogul husband, Imagine Entertainment's Brian Grazer, not long after the book was published.)

With perfect show business logic, this L.A. story will begin shooting at the end of the year...in Australia.
