'The Practice' Hires Sharon Stone

Sharon Stone is talking to ABC about joining the cast of The Practice for a few episodes. James Spader is on board as well. This is very interesting because it calls into question the real reason behind the David E. Kelly housecleaning that occurred earlier this year when he "fired" 5 of the major cast members to save money.

Can you really say that Sharon Stone and James Spader cost less the Dylan McDermott, Lara Flynn Boyle and the rest of the cast? I don't think so. So what's really happening here? It will definitely boost the ratings though along with its return to its original Sunday at 10PM time slot.
