You gotta have Faith-a, Faith-a, Faith!
Talk about getting stoned: George Michael has signed on to appear in more episodes of ABC's "Eli Stone,"
the new legal drama/comedy about an attorney (played by Jonny Lee
Miller) who begins to think he's a prophet after a series of bizarre
hallucinations.
The first one: Hearing George Michael's "Faith" over and over again
during the series pilot last week. Michael then appears -- singing on
Eli's coffee table and in the lobby of his office. It's an entertaining
start to the series, which appears again tonight at 10 p.m. Eastern
time. (I'm hooked on it after one episode.)
TV Guide reports that Michael will return in the show's eighth and ninth episodes to both sing and act.
"Having George and his music in the pilot was great because it really set the tone for the entire show," executive producer Marc Guggenheim told TV Guide. "He's such a talented and smart guy and amazingly collaborative."
