'Reality Bites' TV series: Your fantasy cast?

OK, OK. We know it’s kind of sacrilege to even think about remaking Reality Bites. But Ben Stiller directed it and Helen Childress wrote it and they’re developing the potential new series at NBC, so for a moment let’s hope for the best. And… make a few suggestions for who should play the slacker crew so iconically embodied by the original cast. Here are our picks, tell us yours in the comments:

Lelaina Pierce (Winona Ryder): Shailene Woodley – She’s kinda artsy, she’s done TV, she’s the latest indie and crossover it girl. Would be fun to see her wield a camcorder, plus she’d look great as a doily.

Troy Dyer (Ethan Hawke): Penn Badgley – He’s brooding, he’s dark and mysterious AND he’s about to film a movie with the original Troy Dyer, Ethan Hawke. Perhaps he’s already getting tips on how not to steal a Snickers bar.

Vickie Miner (Janeane Garafolo): Rebel Wilson – Can’t you just hear her screaming “Welcome to the Maxi Pad!”? Enough said.

Sammy Gray (Steve Zahn): Danny Pudi – The Community star certainly has the comedy chops to pull off Vickie’s self-deprecating gay best friend. Plus his pop culture knowledge from playing Abed Nadir is beyond, perfect for the movie’s quick quotable comebacks and fast talking.

Michael Grates (Ben Stiller): Josh Gad – He’s used to playing characters who get the short end of the stick (see: Steve Wozniak, Arnold Cunningham) but always with a lot of heart. If I’m being honest, I was aTroy girl in the 90s, but watching it again, Michael really shoulda come out looking better in this. I’m hoping he gets another shot in the TV show.

Ben Stiller bringing 'Reality Bites' to NBC

Ben Stiller and Chris Rock also voice characters in "Madagascar 3."

(CNN) -- It looks like a new generation may get to experience the highs and lows of Lelaina Pierce, Troy Dyer, and the rest of the gang as a comedy series based on the seminal 1994 flick "Reality Bites" has gotten a script order at NBC.

EW has confirmed a Deadline report that Ben Stiller (who directed the original film and played straitlaced TV exec Michael Graves) is revisiting the film as a show and is attached to executive produce; original screenwriter Helen Childress will pen the script.

Much like the original, the series will reportedly take place in the early '90s and center on novice filmmaker Pierce and her slacker friends in Houston after their college graduation. While no casting was announced, it's safe to say Winona Ryder, Ethan Hawke, Ben Stiller, and the rest of the original cast, which also included Janeane Garofalo and Steve Zahn, will probably not be reprising their roles. (Although it would be great to see Garofalo's Vickie working at Gap's corporate office two decades after she mastered the art of folding.)

Universal Television is producing the series along with Stiller's Red Hour Television and Double Feature Films, the company run by Michael Shamberg and Stacey Sher, who were producers on the original film.

Will the humor of '90s flannel-clad youth translate to today's audience? Or will there be a sense of, ahem, irony?

T-Boz brings reality to TV

Chilli and T-Boz of TLC attended the 2012 MOBO awards at Echo Arena on November 3, 2012 in Liverpool, England. "After losing my sight, hearing, balance and speech, yes, I'm returning," T-Boz saysThe TLC singer is a survivor of sickle cell anemia and a brain tumor"Totally T-Boz" premieres Tuesday night on TLC2013 is the 20th anniversary of when T-Boz teamed with "Left Eye" and "Chilli"

Los Angeles (CNN) -- Reality for TLC's T-Boz has been a challenge, starting at age 7, when she was diagnosed with sickle cell anemia.

"I was told I wouldn't live past 30, I would be disabled my whole life and I would never become a mother," T-Boz, a member of one of the most successful girl groups ever, told CNN. "My daughter is Chase. She's 12. I've traveled the world in one of the best groups ever. I'm 42."

Reality called again five years ago when doctors found a brain tumor, which left her partially blind and deaf.

"But after losing my sight, hearing, balance and speech, yes, I'm returning," said T-Boz, whose real name is Tionne Watkins. "I had to take three years to heal and fight for everything that I wanted back.

T-Boz is sharing the lessons learned from hard reality in a reality TV show that premieres Tuesday night, coincidentally on a network with the same name as her group -- TLC.

"It's about 20 years later, me coming back from the brain tumor and doing things I want to do," she said. "You'll hear about all that in the show, my real-life struggles, being a single mother. I don't care how much money you have in the world. It's not about that. It's all about time. I'm in charge of raising a young woman one day, to be a mother and hopefully a wife. All of that. As you know, being a parent, that's probably the hardest job ever"

"Totally T-Boz" is real -- especially compared with most shows, she said: "They're fake as all get-out, right? I'm real."

Her experience with reality TV includes being fired by Donald Trump on "Celebrity Apprentice" in 2009.

"If I'm not the chick you want, because you don't want that, then they'll probably censure me," she said. "That's fine, but I'm staying me, because I'm happy and I've always been happy in my skin."

Like other entertainers who disappear from the spotlight for a while, T-Boz never stopped working while she focused on raising her daughter and fighting for her health.

"I get a lot of 'Oh, you've been gone,'" she said. "I wasn't gone. Just because you didn't see me doesn't mean I wasn't working and collecting checks. I just wasn't singing and doing videos. I do a lot of other things, like I said, like writing scripts and stuff like that. I write for other artists."

When a doctor told her that her headaches were caused by a tumor, "I said 'Say huh? Say huh?" she said. The diagnosis triggered a string of emotions, but never anger, she said.

"I had that fight," she said. "I want to live. I didn't have time to die."

The hardest time was not knowing if the tumor was cancerous and if it would kill her, she said.

She began a desperate search for doctors she trusted who did not look at her "just like I was a dollar sign," she said.

"They're like, 'You know, sickle cell can cause complications because it will turn on your body, your heart and lungs. You could just die, have a stroke," she said. "I was like, Jesus, Lord, what's going on?"

Some doctors told her removing her tumor through surgery would be too complicated. "It's just like they wanted to still keep the tumor in my head, and maybe burn some of your cells and you may not remember something."

"In my gut, I know if I had stayed in Atlanta, and let them touch me, I wouldn't be here," she said. "I wasn't going to make it through those surgeries. I was going to die. And I felt that."

She chose a Los Angeles doctor to oversee her treatment and brain surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

"I said, 'I know this is him in my heart," she said. "I packed up my stuff and my family and I came here."

But she had to make a decision.

"I had to give the order of what I wanted to be saved," she said. "So I said my face first, because you couldn't look at me and tell I'm deaf or blind. My hearing second, because I still want to hear and sing and have my speech. And then my balance. So they took my balance completely from the right."

But after three years of physical therapy to teach her brain how to compensate for the loss of balance, "mostly everything else is back. I can hear and see and I can speak," she said. "So I am blessed."

When you meet her now, it's hard now to tell anything was ever wrong with T-Boz.

"I still have a crooked smile and just certain things I deal with, but I'll take all of that to be back here and be Chase's mother," she said.

Predictions of her lifespan are still pessimistic, but her optimism rejects them.

"Now they're saying 45, and I plan to be talking to y'all at 56," she said. "I'd rather take over the disease than let it take over me. Let's put it that way."

T-Boz has a lot left to do. This year is the 20th anniversary of when she teamed with Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas as TLC.

VH1 is producing a bio-pic about them, which means T-Boz is back in the studio working on the soundtrack.

"It's going to be hard to see who can dance like us," she said. "I don't even think I could do me again. Could I do T-Boz again the way I did it?"

The reunited group -- with a replacement for Lopes, who died in a 2002 auto accident in Honduras -- will also tour to support the release of a new album, which includes two new singles.

And T-Boz has her own song out called "Champion," with the profits going to a charity for children with blood disorders.

"There's a lot of people who have been going through what I went through and I want to help whoever I can," she said. "I want to share my story because I think God spared me for a reason. I think that I'm supposed do something with it."

What’s the deal with Google’s crazy augmented reality glasses?

Project Glass prototypes

If flying cars and uncannily dexterous robots haven't tipped you off already, know this: the future is here. We're living in an age when Star Trek tech is getting realized little by little, and Google's just revealed a secret undertaking that checks one more sci-fi innovation off the proverbial list.

Meet Project Glass: an augmented reality undertaking that's emerged out of the company's black ops innovation lab, known as Google X. With Project Glass, Google is taking a serious look at augmented reality. What would life be like if rather than reaching into our pocket for a phone, the data we need was fluidly woven right into our lives?

Google casts a wide net when it comes to researching projects that are a bit closer to the cutting edge than email and search. Its best known future-tech project is a small fleet of self-driving cars which have already hit the streets for testing in California, but it's reportedly also quietly working on a space elevator and as many as 100 other covert futuristic projects.

Not to be confused with Google Goggles — an app that lets you search for anything just by snapping a photo — Google's glasses superimpose what's known as a head's up display (HUD) over your visual field. The visual display, as you can see in Google's concept video, provides contextual information and lets you do just about anything a smartphone would, from texting and geosocial check-ins to turn-by-turn directions — all without lifting a finger. Of course, Google's conception of this ties right into its umbrella of products, from Maps and Latitude to Google+. According to the minds behind Project Glass, technology should "be there when you need it and get out of your way when you don't".

While the lofty technology is far from market-ready at the moment — a launch by the end of 2012 looks very unlikely — the glasses are very much real. There are reportedly many models, ranging from a Star Trek-inspired visor to a design that "sits over a person's normal eyeglasses." And Google employees will actually be testing them in the wild, so don't be alarmed if you bump into a seeming cyborg near the company's Mountain View headquarters.

The idea of a system like Google's Project Glass is to steep reality in immersive, non-disruptive data. All tasks would be integrated right into your visual field, keeping your hands free while still providing the informational amenities we've come to expect from smartphones and tablets. In the world of Project Glass, our devices' screens would melt away altogether in favor of translucent data draped right over the world as we know it. Who needs a Retina display when you've got everything you need, right before your eyes?
