Rumor Patrol: Rashida Jones in Office Spinoff?

Consider this only a rumor for the time being. However, word has been
rippling through the TV biz today that Rashida Jones (aka Karen
Filippelli, presently of Utica, New York) may star in the upcoming NBC
spinoff of The Office.

Sounds pretty amazing to this Office (and Rashida) fan, so I did a
little digging, and here's where this stands: While one inside source
(who has always been reliable) says "it's true" that Rashida will be a
part of the new series, another source inside Rashida's camp says, "As
far as I know, she has not been approached." Hmmm...

Meanwhile, a rep for Universal (which produces The Office) tells me:
"Universal Media Studios has a talent holding deal with Rashida. It is
premature to speculate about any potential projects she could be
involved with."

So where does that leave us? Right back where we started, with this
being?so far?just a fascinating, plausible and wholly unconfirmed
rumor. (Hmph.) Still, I know many of you fellow fans are jonesing for
a little Office fodder right about now, so I thought I'd share.

And since you asked (What? You didn't?), I'm definitely rooting for
Rashida/Karen to join in on the spinoff fun. And if we can have
Phyllis drop by for a makeover from time to time? Well, it'd be so
good it almost hurts.

(That's what she said.)

What say you?
