ThePieMaker.com was invited to the L.A. screening of the final three episodes of PUSHING DAISIES. We’ll be sharing tidbits from each of the last eps over the next few days. This post contains spoilers although I tried not spoil the whole episode. Read at your own risk.

If you’re a fan of PUSHING DAISIES rapid, racing repartee and delicious, delightful dialogue then you’re in for a tasty terrific treat with “Window Dressed to Kill”. Not a single moment of screen time is wasted in this episode written by scribe Abby Gewanter. You’re going to need an extra cup of Joe to make sure you’re fully alert while watching as it’s jam packed with snappy dialogue, stunning visuals and more than a few recognizable guest stars, including Willy Garson, Constance Zimmer, George Segal, Sam Pancake, Wayne Wilderson and more.

Appearances can be deceiving. This episode is all about looking past the curtains of deception to find the true intent behind someone’s actions. Sometimes the reasons are good and sometimes not so much, but no matter what the reason deception can only lead to someone getting hurt…or killed.

Young Olive Snook was kidnapped during a family cocktail party by petty thieves Jerry Holmes and Roy “Buster” Bustamante. The two men were sent to prison for 25 years as a result of their deed. But before their time in the slammer was up, they pulled a Shawshank, and rather than heading to Zihuatanejo, Buster and Jerry set out to find Olive Snook - the little girl responsible for putting them in jail.

But, as we said, appearances can be deceiving. Pull back the curtain and we find that the young Olive Snook was a stowaway in the car that Jerry and Buster stole. They tried to bring Olive home but when she refused to give them any information about her life, they were stuck. A few days later they tracked down Olive’s parents and upon returning her to home they found out that her parents didn’t even know she was gone. Outraged at the behavior of Olive’s parents, Buster & Jerry shared a piece of their mind on better parenting. Not one to take that kind of criticism lightly, the snooty Snooks called the police and had Buster & Jerry carted off to jail for kidnapping, despite the Olive’s plea.

Are you all as excited as I am? I’m pretty darn excited (and I’ve seen the episode 4 times now so that’s saying a lot)

TV, Film and Broadway star, Kristin Chenoweth, will be making a guest appearance on the fourth episode of GLEE. You’re going to have to wait until the Fall to see her, but here’s a sneak peek at her cameo roll and a little behind the scenes footage.

This just in from Variety.

Anna Friel will star as Holly Golightly in a new stage adaptation of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” previewing from Sept. 9 for a Sept. 29 opening at the Theater Royal Haymarket on London’s West End.

Sean Mathias will direct Samuel Adamson’s adaptation, based on the Truman Capote novella about a backwoods girl intoxicated by Manhattan high society. Joseph Cross (”Milk,” “Running With Scissors”) also stars.

Scheduled to run through Jan. 9, the play is the second in Mathias’ season at the Theater Royal Haymarket, following the revival of “Waiting for Godot,” with Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart, which opened May 6. “Tiffany’s” is produced by Colin Ingram and presented by Chambord.

Friel will next be seen in Universal’s “Land of the Lost” and on BBC’s “The Street.” Her stage credits include “Lulu” at London’s Almeida and Patrick Marber’s “Closer” on Broadway.

Best of luck, Anna.
