"Female Oz?" Staring Leisha Hailey

L-Word spin-off? In the pokey?

Bad girl?
Bad girl?

Word on the digital information street is that Leisha Hailey is getting a spin-off, a prison spin-off. What tha bah what what?

Don't get me wrong, I was just as big a fan of the Helena/Dusty prison storyline as the next 'mo, but really: Alice in prison?

I am skeptical. 1) How on Earth did adorable Alice end up in the big house? 2) Does this mean she killed Jenny? 3) I don't get to steal her fashion ideas anymore? Grrrrrrrr!

I believe in Leisha's acting chops. I think she is great, but do we really want to see wacky, fun Alice in prison? I guess we are going to find out.
