A new television show is to be filmed on HBO starring Zooey Deschanel, uber doober mega star of (500) Days of Summer, Almost Famous and one part of the collaborative She and Him duo.

Deschanel stars as a groupie, who's story was chronicles by Pamela Des Barres in her book "I'm With the Band: Confessions of a Groupie". The show, sounding quite similar to the Penny Lane area of Almost Famous will be in a half an hour format, if picked up, and I predict will be a HUGE hit.

Des Barres, one of the apparent influences to Cameron Crowe's Penny Lane character, hit prominence in the late 60s bedding the biggest of the big rock stars. One can only predict, after seeing the success of Crowe's film, mixed with the HBO factor and the Deschanel taking the wheel, and I am already excited.

No release dates have been divuldged yet, but as soon as the news comes, Learning the Lingo will bring it to you!
