Allen Arkus

"Hellcats" gets a lesbian cheerleader
A CW spokesperson has told us (via AfterElton.com) that Elena Esovolova will play a lesbian cheerleader in the new series Hellcats, debuting this fall.

Elena Esovolova

Esovolova will play Patty "The Wedge" Wedgerman. How did she get that nickname? I guess finding out gives us one more reason to tune in. Patty is described as "ballsy, fearless and cheerfully profane" and is the "base" for the Hellcats. (I'm told that "base" is a great position for any aspiring lesbian.)

Hellcats is from executive producer Tom Welling of Smallville and executive producers Kevin Murphy (Desperate Housewives) and Allan Arkus (Heroes). Yes, you can insert your joke about obsession with lesbian cheerleaders here.

The show is based on the book Cheer: Inside the Secret World of College Cheerleaders by Kate Torgovnick and has been described by Michael Ausiello as "Election meets Bring it On."

Sold yet?

Front: Ashley Tisdale, Elena Esovolova.
