       ABC has given the
            green light to a comedy pilot to be executive-produced
            by Elton John. The project, dubbed Him and       Us,
            revolves around an over-the-hill rock star, his manager, and
            the       rest of his colorful entourage. Cindy Chupack, a
            former executive       producer of HBO's Sex and the
            City, is       writing the script. (Reuters)
