Anna Camp Heads To 'Vegas' And More Casting News

Anna Camp is headed to Sin City.

According to EW, the "Pitch Perfect" star has booked a multi-episode arc on the CBS drama as an aspiring actress called Violet. The character is also described as being "the mistress of a film studio mogul," in town for a movie role that she's hoping will be her ticket to the big time. She'll get to know Dixon (Taylor Handley) after he becomes her bodyguard.

In addition to starring in the breakout musical movie, Camp currently recurs on Fox's "The Mindy Project," although she was recently downgraded from series regular status.

• Tina Fey & Amy Poehler Hosting The Golden Globes

  Because ... duh.

• The Return Of "Arrested Development"

  After years of rumors, it's finally happening this spring. The Bluths will be back and all will be right with the world ... of TV.

• "The Following"

  By far one of the most entertaining of the 2012-2013 pilots, we can't wait to be creeped out by James Purefoy and have the day (hopefully) saved by Kevin Bacon on a weekly basis.

• Jennifer Hudson On "Smash"

  How do you spice up a musical? Add an Oscar winner with a killer voice. "Smash" is already filled to the brim with talent, but adding Hudson's show-stopping voice to the mix really ups the ante.

• "The Carrie Diaries"

  Once you get over the initial balking at a "Sex And The City" prequel series, "The Carrie Diaries" is a pretty well done pilot. Cool music and performances that blow pretty much every other CW show out of the water make this show one we've got an eye on.

• Return of "Community"

  The Greendale Human Beings have been gone way too long. The series is basically the Rodney Dangerfield of NBC: it can't get no respect. Now that it's finally on the schedule (February 7 at 8 p.m. EST!), we can't wait to see what "Community" has to offer under the guidance of new showrunners. All the headlines and departure news have just added to the anticipation.

• Mariah Carey & Nicki Minaj On "American Idol"

  Whether they're feuding or not talking to each other, we're excited to see these two divas on screen together. Can Keith Urban keep the peace?

• "Girls" Guest Stars

  The exploits of Hannah, Marnie, Shoshanna and Jessa are enough to bring us back for Season 2, but when you add guest stars like Donald Glover, Rita Wilson, Patrick Wilson, Colin Quinn and Shiri Appleby, the "Girls" game has been raised.

• The End of "Breaking Bad"

  OK, so we don't really want "Breaking Bad" to end, but man we are looking forward to seeing how Walter White's evolution ends.

• New "Cougar Town"

  You can't keep a good show down. Thanks to the execs at TBS, "Cougar Town" lived to see another day and finish off hundreds of bottles of wine.

• "Game Of Thrones" Season 3

  As if we weren't looking forward to returning to Westeros and Essos already, Season 3 is based on "A Storm of Swords," one of the best George R. R. Martin books. Add some exciting new cast members -- Diana Rigg and Iwan Rheon to name a few -- and March can't come soon enough.

• A World Without "Jersey Shore"

  Our long national nightmare is over! Sort of. There are still spinoffs, and JWoww is headed to Fox's celebrity diving show. Not to mention the premiere MTV's "Jersey Shore" replacement "Buckwild." So the "Shore" legacy lives on ... for better or worse.

• "Girl Meets World"

  Cory and Topanga, together again! Technically this pilot is still in development, but given the buzz it's created, we're 99 percent sure Disney will go through with this "Boy Meets World" sequel series.
