More casting news

Thanks to Sci-Fi Wire for the following tidbits:
• “Area 52”  Paul Reubens has joined the NBC sitcom about a group of g-men who babysit an alien at a secret government installation, a la Area 51. And according to The Hollywood Reporter, Kelin Yu has joined the series, too, though I’ll be damned if I can find out anything else he’s been in.
• “Pushing Daisies”  TV veteran Swoosie Kurtz will join the cast as the main character’s aunt. The lead, a man who can bring the dead back to life by touching them, is played by Lee Pace. Pace goes way back with series creator Bryan Fuller, who brought us “Dead Like Me” and “Wonderfalls.”
• “Jericho”  Alicia Coppola, the oh-so-pleasant visiting IRS auditor Mimi Clark has been bumped up from recurring cast to regular cast. So I’m thinking she’s not going to die anytime soon.
• “The 4400”  Jenni Baird has joined the cast as a “new authority figure who has a relationship with NTAC agent Tom Baldwin.”
ADDED 3/2:
• “Babylon Fields”  Amber Tamblyn the former “Joan of Arcadia” will star in the pilot. In the zombie-ish show Tamblyn plays a girl abused by her father, whom she and mommy killed. Natch, he comes back from the dead.

Can you specify the URLs for your items? I searched every which way on SciFi Wire and cannot find the reference to Jenni Baird.
Thanks.
Well, I’ll be. I’d messed up the coding on the link yesterday and fixed it this morning. But now I can’t find the item, either! I’ll have to search further for it; maybe I got my sources mixed up, but I could have sworn it was from Sci-Fi. Check back later and maybe I’ll have sorted this out!
Thanks for reading, Arieanna!
I can’t figure this out! I didn’t pull it out of thin air, as I never even heard of Jenni Baird before, and I got pretty much everything on this entry from SciFi Wire. But I can’t find it either. If anyone out there can find anything on this, I’m all ears! Meanwhile, I’ll keep an ear out on it…
Thanks! Perhaps it was a spoiler not allowed out or something like that. Could have been yanked. But yes, it is nowhere on the web, so it’s an oddity
