It's only been a couple of weeks, and is Pete Wentz already Bronxed out?

OK, so the Fall Out Boy isn't exactly a derelict dad to his newborn, but he is taking time away from his spawn and the missus to win some bread.

Wentz will be making a guest appearance on the CW show Privileged, E! News has confirmed. He will appear in a January episode in a scene with show stars Ashley Newbrough and Lucy Hale, according to Zap2It.com.

But the emo rocker isn't the only big name making some moves on the Casting Couch. In other action, Amy Adams is going to heaven, Hilary Swank is in hell, and Shakespeare in Lover Joseph Fiennes is hitting the boob tube.

Adams is ready to tick off The Ten Best Days of My Life, per Variety, playing a woman who dies in a car crash and must pass an entrance exam—naming the top moments of her life—before being allowed to pass through the Pearly Gates.

Looking to put that whole P.S. I Love You debacle behind her, Swank is getting back into the thriller genre with The Resident, playing a doctor who moves into a Brooklyn loft only to be stalked by her landlord. In other words, just another typical N.Y. real estate story.

Fiennes is the pick for ABC's new sci-fi pilot, Flash Forward,  about what happens when everyone in the world passes out for two minutes and has a mysterious premonition of the future. He and John Cho (Harold and Kumar) will play investigators trying to figure out what the hell is happening. The show is being groomed as a Lost companion piece.

Real-life couple Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna are turning the cameras on their personal lives for a new TV Land unscripted series. By our count Hollywood will officially run out of C-listers for reality shows in about 25 minutes.

House Bunny's Anna Faris is doubling her pleasure, first in an untitled comedy about two estranged sisters who join forces to try and find a husband, and then in 20 Times a Lady, a rom-com about  a woman who embarks on a High Fidelity-like journey to reunite with past loves in hopes of finding The One.

Russell Brand is getting caught between the moon and New York City, signing on for a remake of the 1981 Dudley Moore-Liza Minnelli comedy classic Arthur. We’re guessing he's doing a new take on Moore's tipsy richie, but with wild-card Brand you never know...
