Kerry Butler Tapes Additional Episode Of 'Lipstick Jungle'

Kerry Butler, currently starring on Broadway as Kira in Xanadu has taped another episode of NBC's upcoming dramedy, "Lipstick Jungle" which stars Brooke Shields. The show is slated to debut on February 7th.  Butler's first appearance on the show is slated for February 14th. Airdate for Butler's additional appearance has not been announced.

Based on the best-selling novel by Candace Bushnell ("Sex and the City"), this fun dramedy follows three high-powered friends as they weather the ups and downs of lives lived at the top of their game. Nico (Kim Raver, "24"), editor-in-chief of a hot fashion magazine, wants to replace her boss as CEO. Movie exec Wendy (Brooke Shields, "Suddenly Susan") finds even her most earnest efforts may not be enough to balance career and family. And free-spirited designer Victory (Lindsay Price, "Beverly Hills, 90210") longs to make her dreams come true, and maybe find Mr. Right along the way. Armed with humor and strength, these three modern New York women support one another through the triumphs and tears that are all part of making it big in the Big Apple. Written by executive producers DeAnn Heline and Eileen Heisler (both for "How I Met Your Mother," "Three Sisters") and based on the book by Bushnell, "Lipstick Jungle" is from NBC Universal Television Studio.
