None of those things, however, has been able to save it. The show appears to be dead after failing to find a TV home, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Pretty/Handsome was initially set up at FX, where Murphy's Nip/Tuck has been a strong performer for five seasons. Fiennes (Shakespeare in Love, Running With Scissors) was set to play a married man who breaks the news to his wife and kids that he wants a sex change. The cast also included Carrie-Anne Moss, Blythe Danner and Robert Wagner.

Murphy wrote the script with fellow Nip/Tuck scribe Brad Falchuk and also directed the pilot. Brad Pitt was an executive producer through his company, Plan B Entertainment.

FX, however, decided to pass on the pilot in the spring, the HR says. Producer 20th Century Fox tried to sell the show elsewhere, but those efforts have come up empty.

"Numb3rs" adds a regular. With the exit of costar Diane Farr, CBS's Numb3rs now has added two new female regulars for its fifth season.

Aya Sumika, who has had a recurring role on Numb3rs for the last two seasons, will be a regular this season, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Sumika, who plays Special Agent Warner, sometime love interest for Rob Morrow's Don Eppes, will achieve regular status along with Sophina Brown. The Shark veteran was previously reported to be playing a new junior agent in the Los Angeles-based FBI team.

Other credits for Sumika include Hawaii and an episode of The O.C.

Two more costars loaded into HBO's "Shootout." HBO's half-hour comedy pilot Suburban Shootout has added a pair of costars.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Michael Weaver and Mary Birdsong will take roles in the Barry Sonnenfeld-directed pilot.

Suburban Shootout is based on a series from Britain's Five (shown on Oxygen in this country). Michelle Ashford (Boomtown, John Adams) adapted the pilot, which focuses on Rebecca (Judy Greer), a woman who leaves the city for the suburbs only to find herself caught in a gang war between heavily armed housewives.

Weaver will play Rebecca's husband, the suburb's new police chief. Birdsong will play a member of one of the gangs.

The Suburban Shootout cast also includes Kelly Preston, Kerri Kenney and Rachael Harris.

Weaver most recently co-starred with Harris in ABC's Notes From the Underbelly. His other credits include The Mullets and the features Club Dread and Super Troopers.

Birdsong is best known for her role as Deputy Cherisha Kimball on Reno 911! and in its feature film spin-off.

Markle, 26, will play the school's sexy vixen who gets by on her looks. The actress might be familiar to some as the model for Case No. 24 on Deal or No Deal. Lutz, 23, will play star lacrosse player George Evans, who comes from a well-to-do family. The actor next appears in HBO's mini-series Generation Kill.
