Washington [US], June 12 (ANI): American actor and TV personality Valerie Bertinelli has been roped in to star opposite Demi Lovato in a single-camera comedy pilot 'Hungry', produced by Universal Television that was ordered by NBC this April.
The recording artist and actress headlines a series about a food issues support group.

Icenolge hands him a piece of candy. “I’m the diabetic but Sean is stealing all my stuff,” he says.
Fixating on things like low blood sugar is old hat for Hayes. He is, after all, a self-described “hypochondriac,” he says during a Zoom call from the car.
So much so that Hayes has turned his health worries into a podcast. Launching May 5, “HypochondriActor” is hosted by Hayes and Dr. Priyanka Wali, a San Francisco-based MD who is also a stand-up comedian. While the show will feature guests sharing their own health stories, Hayes cracks, “I did this for free medical advice.”
