Nikki Blonsky has just caught her big TV break.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the 'Hairspray' star will lead the new ABC Family comedy 'Huge,' set around a weight-loss camp. Blonsky will play Will in the series, described as a "funny" and "opinionated overweight girl" whose fit parents send her off to the camp.

Also joining the cast are Hayley Hasselhoff, daughter of 'Baywatch' alum David Hasselhoff, and Zander Eckhouse, who will play a camp member and fitness counselor, respectively.

On the theory that it worked for another actress who play Tracy Turnblad, Marissa Jaret Winokur is going to star in her own daytime talk show, just like Ricki Lake before her. (Can Nikki Blonsky be next?)

Marissa J, who's currently spinning, twirling and trying to look graceful on Dancing With the Stars, will be developing a syndicated yakker (industry talk for talk show) for Sony Pictures Television. The fact that another company is also doing the same thing for Marie Osmond means one thing: producers think that if you can dance, you can talk. That's a show business axiom, isn't it? Her show, if it flies, will be for fall 2009.

Sony has dipped in syndication before with the Wayne Brady Show, which failed to click but did win the star a Daytime Emmy. Marissa is already an award winner, grabbing the 2003 Tony as Best Actress in a musical for playing Tracy in the Broadway version of Hairspray opposite Harvey Fierstein.
