In today's (March 29) snacks, we have several stars and a network taking on some interesting and unexpected turns. But, eh, in this economy you do what you have to do, right?

Five female stars, one Lifetime movie. Jennifer Aniston, Alicia Keyes, Demi Moore, Patty Jenkins and a TBD fifth woman will each direct a short film for the anthology, "Project Five," for Lifetime. All five films will deal with the impact of breast cancer on people's lives. [THR]

Jay Mohr is winning! He'll play a Charlie Sheen-inspired character for USA's "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" in its upcoming tenth and final season. Mohr's character will be loving the companionship of expensive call girls and drug-ridden parties where one of his guest will end up dead. [Deadline]

Rihanna has gone country! She'll be performing "California King Bed" from her most recent album with Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles at the Country Music Awards on Sunday (April 3). [RyanSeacrest.com]

"The Real Housewives of Miami" and Bravo are taking a calculated risk by taping the upcoming reunion special live Tuesday, April 5 at 9 p.m. ET. Will that create some buzz around the low-rated series? It can't hurt. [Bravo]
