You gotta have Faith-a, Faith-a, Faith!

George 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."
