Ellen and Vance
DeGeneres to create comedy pilot for the WB

The WB network announced Monday that Ellen DeGeneres and her brother, Vance, are developing a half-hour sitcom pilot that will explore family dynamics from the perspective of both humans and their pets. Ellen will provide the voice of the family dog. "Joining forces with my brother has long been a dream of ours. Of course, that dream used to involve world domination. But a show on the WB works too," said Ellen in a statement. "I'm really looking forward to working with Vance on a project that doesn't involve a late Mother's Day gift for our mom." Openly gay WB entertainment president David Janollari made the announcement Monday at the Television Critics Association press event in Pasadena, Calif. (Advocate.com)
