Craig Bierko is "Starting Over"

Craig Bierko has been named "sexiest star," but can he soon stake a claim as the "funniest?" Bierko has just been cast as the lead in the upcoming Fox comedy "The Rules of Starting Over."

Not to be confused with "8 Simple Rules" or "Rules of Engagement," this is the one without David Spade. Instead, it has the funny, but slightly warped mind of Bobby Farrelly attached to it.

The show takes a comedic look at a group of recent divorcees. Bierko is a newly single thirty-something.

Rashida Jones has also been cast, says Reuters. I guess Karen and Jim aren't going to make things work on "The Office."

Bierko recently had a role in the Christopher Guest ensemble comedy "For Your Consideration." He also had a multi-episode stint as attorney Jeffery Coho on ABC's "Boston Legal." -- Rachel Cericola
