I WONDER WHETHER SHE'LL SING CELEBRATION OR ELECTRIC BOOGIE: In an impressive effort to ensure that the appeal of her show never takes a single baby step beyond its targeted demographic, Fran Drescher has cast Mikalah Gordon, Drescher's coulda-been love child with Barbra Streisand, for the season premiere of Living With Fran. (Ooo, and if you click on that Barbra Streisand link, you get the privilege of seeing what she thinks on a whole range of political topics. O Happy Day!)

The artificially-accented Gordon will play the genuinely-accented Drescher's Cousin Brianna, and will sing at a bar mitzvah in the season's inaugural episode. Also appearing in the premiere are Rachel Hunter (who now apparently gets pegged as Dancing with the Stars' Rachel Hunter instead of Rod Stewart's ex-wife Rachel Hunter or Playboy's Rachel Hunter or the Rachel Hunter Lowland Gorilla Fund's Rachel Hunter) as well as Drescher's own parents, Sylvia and Morty Drescher.

In other news, Drescher's Pomeranian, Esther, is joining the show as a series regular.
