Vanessa Lachey cast in the First Wives Club TV reboot

Pop star Nick Lachey’s actress wife Vanessa has joined the cast of the First Wives Club TV series.
The former MTV presenter will star alongside Alyson Hannigan and Megan Hilty in the TV reboot, which will be based on the 1996 movie starring Diane Keaton, Bette Midler, and Goldie Hawn as dumped wives.
In the movie, adapted from author Olivia Goldsmith’s book of the same name, the three women reunite for their college friend’s funeral and make a pact to get revenge on each of their ex-husbands.
The television version will take on a similar plot of former friends reconnecting, but it will be set in modern-day San Francisco, California.
Vanessa will also play gay in the new show – her character will be a successful chef with a girlfriend she plans to marry.
The series was picked up by bosses at America’s TV Land in March (16), but it is unclear when it will premiere.
