Stars align for
new season of Nip/Tuck

Larry Hagman, Kathleen Turner, and Brooke Shields will guest-star on cable channel FX's Nip/Tuck, the hit drama from out creator Ryan Murphy, next season. Hagman will play the much older husband of a beautiful 30-something woman (Sanaa Lathan), who buy McNamara/Troy, the Miami-based plastic surgery practice of Dr. Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) and Dr. Christian Troy (Julian McMahon).

Turner will play Cindy Plumb, a scotch- and cigarette-voiced phone-sex operator who comes to McNamara/Troy to rejuvenate her voice through vocal cord surgery. Shields will appear in the Nip/Tuck fourth-season opener as Dr. Wolper, a shrink in whom Troy confides.

Hagman is best known for his roles in Dallas and I Dream of Jeannie. Turner voices one of the characters in Sony's upcoming animated feature Monster House. Shields starred in Suddenly Susan, which ran for four seasons on NBC. (Nellie Andreeva, Reuters)
