We'll be meeting up with Courteney Cox this coming Saturday when she hits the TV Critics Press Tour to promote her new Bill Lawrence-produced comedy, "Cougar Town," but I've just learned the series has added another smoking hot actress to its roster.

Sources tell me Yasmin DelizÂ is now signed on to play a character named Nezzie, a friend of Busy Philipps' Laurie.Â

Yes, I know, who the $!*% is Yasmin Deliz?

Turns out you might actually be familiar with her...Â

...If you're a "New Kids on the Block" fan.

Don't laugh, those dudes have trillions more Twitter followers than you or I and have been playing sold out shows all over the country this year. And, yeah, Yasmin Deliz was the main chick in their music video for "Single" last year. Ne-Yo was in it too. It was a hit.

Oh, and Deliz was also in the movie, "Next Day Air" with "Scrubs"'Â Donald Faison. Guess that probably opened some doors for her too...

hum... not cute at all... they need someone hot to compete with courthney love, not some eva langoria parker wanna be!

That girl is way hotter than Eva Longoria. Yet another dumb thing out of Meow's yap.

Eva Langoria is hot in a very cl***y way, while this girl looks like your typical hollywoo girl. Nothing special, doubt she would ever make it on a good show like brothers and sisters.

It's Courtney COX, not Courtney Love. I think anyone could look better than her! And why the Eva Longoria comparision? I love comments that don't make any sense.

I'm really looking forward to this show though.

Because Eva is hot and an established actress and this girl thinks she cant come and take eva palce in the latino community. Its just gimmik casting that will fail.
