How many times as a kid did you ever heard the maxim, "Don't judge a book by its cover"? To which we now add the comic book corollary -or a sexy Superhero by her costume.

Last time we spoke of longtime HBB favorite Adrianne Palicki, late of Friday Night Lights fame and Lone Star -which I loved- was back on February 17th in my post, TMZ.com 'unknown' Adrianne Palicki cast as 'Wonder Woman' in David E. Kelley's upcoming NBC-TV show

Since then, our gal Adrianne has been busy going thru her Diana Prince paces, knowing that the whole world was watching, watching and watching some more, with lots of the recent commentary being on her evolving costume, much of which was decidedly negative.

Yeah, I noticed, too: they made the traditional red boots blue and the gold bracelets silver.

Adrianne Palicki on Criminal Minds (Part 1), The Thirteenth Step http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwKekwOp_y8

This episode from two months ago might've been THE scariest episode yet of Criminal Minds because it also seemed like the most realistic -spree killers.

Speaking of TMZ, they still haven't mentioned Adrianne yet.
C'est la guerre!

I did this search this afternoon on a whim after getting a frantic phone call from a well-connected Left Coast friend about this big entertainment news:
NBC Casts Wonder Woman, Prime Suspect. Good Actress = Good Show?

Naturally, given her years on TV, even the recent critically-lauded but ratings-challenged Fox-TV show, Lone Star, which I just loved, I expected that TMZ would at least have something up about our Tyra, even if just something in the archives.
Maybe some fetching photo of her at a film premiere or a charity bash.
Nope!

Instead, as you can see above, it read simply, "Your search did not return any results."



I fully expect this cloak of secrecy about Adrianne on one of the most-popular entertainment websites in the world will change in a big way soon, as the casting news about this iconic role, so much-discussed on Internet chat sites and forums, in myriad languages around the world, percolates in the blogosphere, and the curiosity about this talented young actress escalates.

Adrianne's comments in a special segment after the Friday Night Lights series finale aired recently on DirecTV, were very accurate and heartfelt, and could well have been spoken by any of its many devoted fans, of which I am but one.

For those of you who will watch the series final season on NBC-TV soon, that last episode could NOT have been more perfectly written or acted, too!

Friday Night Lights final season on NBC-TV begins on April 15th.

Sorry Eliza Dushku and Cobie Smulders, I was rooting for ya, but Adrianne will do a great job, I'm sure.

I'm really happy to see our Tyra finally get this big break in her show biz career, a chance to be THE star of her own show.

Adrianne has been one of the most compelling parts of FNL, one of its moral compasses, and it's great news that David E. Kelley & Co. saw her potential and decided to reward her for her hard work and excellent acting.
Given our feelings for the show and her, we're rooting for her in a very big way!
