Penn alum Emmy award winning entertainment reporter Emily Frances is typically the one interviewing celebrities.

This time Emily herself is the subject of a 3 part, very personal story on NY's CW11.

Click here to find out why!

Over the next couple of weeks, Emily will allow the cameras to follow her as she undergoes a procedure to freeze her eggs.

Per the Daily News, Emily is quoted as saying "I represent the not-desperate woman. I'm not desperate to get married. I'm not desperate to have a boyfriend. A lot of women are feeling pressure to have to date, because we know we want to have kids." Further, Emily stated, "I just feel this is a process that's experimental, history-making in a way. As a person, as a human being, I owe it to other women to share this experience. There is a stigma, which is not fair. I feel like a lot of women researching this are embarrassed to admit it."

Penn alumni and writing partners David Guarascio (C'91) and Moses Port (C'91), (former co-producers and writers of Just Shoot Me and 2001 "Penn in Pictures" panelists) just got their pilot Aliens in America picked up on the CW Fall Schedule.

Per Variety,"Aliens" is set in Altoona, Wis., where Justin Hobgood is an awkward, lanky 16-year-old having trouble fitting in at school. His mom hears about the school's foreign exchange program and signs up her family, figuring the new arrival will give her son a hipness transplant.
Things don't go as planned, however, when the exchange student turns out to be a Pakistani Muslim who wears a kufi on his head and a shalwar kameez over his body.
