Debra Messing is making a return to half-hour comedy with a starring role in ABC’s pilot “Wright vs. Wrong.”

The Emmy-winning “Will & Grace” alumna also will serve as an executive producer and take up ownership on the single-camera project, from Sony TV and Tantamount.

Penned by actress-writer Stephnie Weir (“MadTV”), “Wrong” centers on Evelyn Wright (Messing), a driven conservative pundit who tries to maintain her public persona despite facing her own vulnerabilities.

Messing will executive producer alongside Tantamount’s Mitch Hurwitz, Eric Tannenbaum and Kim Tannenbaum. Weir also will exec produce, with Messing’s manager Molly Madden also set to receive a producing credit. Andy Fickman is directing.

Last year, Messing was attached to a comedy project by writers Josann McGibbon and Sara Parriott that sparked a bidding war before landing at NBC.

After her eight-year run on NBC’s “Grace,” which earned her an Emmy, Messing, repped by Gersh, 3 Arts and attorney Rick Genow, toplined USA Network’s miniseries “The Starter Wife” as well as the series it spawned.

Debra Messing among other celebrities made a little visit to the opening of Gap’s new 1969 jeans shop in West Hollywood yesterday (february 24).

We haven’t seen much of Debra lately and there’s obviously not much news. However I have found some new candids that we didn’t have from February 17th.

Megan Mullally has revealed there are currently no plans to reunite the cast of Will And Grace.

The US actress-singer, who played outspoken Karen Walker, has kept in touch with co-stars Debra Messing (Grace), Eric McCormack (Will) and Sean Hayes (Jack) since the American sitcom ended in 2006.

“There’s been no talk of any kind of reunion show or movie or anything like that but you never know – it’s getting to be the right time to have a little party of some sort and reunite,” she said.

Megan – who’s currently performing with her band Supreme Music Program at London’s Vaudeville Theatre – had hoped the show would have continued for two more seasons.

“I don’t know if I was disappointed, I mean, all things must pass,” she said.

“On the one hand it seemed like the right time and on the other hand, I personally think it could have gone for two more seasons, but not everybody agreed with that, even some of the cast and some of the writers. So because of that, you know, you have to kind of go along with everything.”

She added: “I wasn’t disappointed, no, it definitely felt like the right time for it to end but at the same time, in an alternate universe I think it could have gone a little bit longer.”
