    "Head Case" centers on Tinseltown's "shrink du jour" Dr. Elizabeth
Goode (Alexandra Wentworth, "In Living Color"). Judgmental and
unconventional, but undeniably thriving as the "it therapist" to
Hollywood's celebrity elite, Dr. Goode's days are filled with a who's who
from the world of entertainment, sports and music and this Spring is no
exception.

long list of celebrity clientele. Amongst those arriving for a mental
tune-up are: Playboy kingpin Hugh Hefner with girlfriend Bridget Marquardt,

Probst, TV reality stars Tori Spelling and hubby Dean McDermott, superstar
songstress Macy Gray, "CSI New York's" Melina Kanakaredes, WWE(R) star Dave
Batista(TM) and many more.

    "'Head Case' was our first original half-hour comedy to debut on Starz
and we are all excited to see it grow alongside our ever-expanding slate of
top notch original TV programming," said Stephan Shelanski, executive vice
president programming, Starz. "The true strength of this show stems from
Ali Wentworth's natural comedic instincts and the ability to offer our
talent an open forum, where improvised dialogue and creativity are always
encouraged. The final result is an eccentric, unconventional, unpredictably
hilarious TV series, which we are proud to air on Starz."

    "Head Case" is a Starz Entertainment original production in association
with Farrand/Bauer Productions. The series created by Alexandra Wentworth
and Robert Farrand, is executive produced by Farrand/Bauer partners, Robert
