Loretta Devine: Why She’s Mad and In Court

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

Actress Loretta Devine continues to charm her way onto the big and small screen and will star in NBC’s new pilot sitcom “Legally Mad,” according to Reuters. The “Waiting to Exhale” diva will bring to life Jeanette, a lawyer constantly fighting back a meltdown. She worked with the show’s producer on “Boston Public” and also was a guest on his hit show, “Ally McBeal.” We’d love to see Loretta working the small screen again. – CJ
