Production on Patricia Arquette’s hit TV drama “Medium” came to a halt on November 7 when comic Sacha Baron-Cohen invaded the set as his fashion reporter creation Bruno.

Filming was temporarily shut down as Baron-Cohen, posing as an extra, was forcibly removed from the set after interrupting a tense courtroom scene.

An insider for the show tells EW.com, “No one had a clue it was Sacha playing Bruno. It’s amazing he was able to infiltrate the set and pull this off.”

It’s not the first time Cohen has hit the headlines for his crazy antics this year. He has disrupted fashion shows, political rallies and launches all over the globe, filming guerrilla segments for his new film “Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Males Visibly Uncomfortable in the Presence of a Gay Foreigner in a Mesh T-Shirt.”

Remember a little show on NBC called Medium? The one about the psychic with the super cool hubby? It earned Patricia Arquette an Emmy? Well, it’s (finally) returning in January — and with a nifty new castmember, to boot!

Michael J. Fox’s actress-wife, Tracy Pollan, has been tapped to appear in a three-episode arc during the show’s upcoming fifth season, sources confirm to me exclusively. She’ll play Caitlyn, a corporate intuitionist who befriends Arquette’s Allison and attempts to bring her to the corporation she works for because of her gift.

This marks Pollan’s first major series gig since doing a two-episode stint on Law & Order: SVU more than eight years ago.

Somehow this movie project had completely slipped through my radar but it’s better late than never… Right?

Patricia is a storyteller in A Single Woman, a film adaptation of the successful stage play about the life of Jeannette Rankin, America’s first Congresswoman and co-founder of the American Civil Liberties Union.

Suffragist, peace activist, and reformer, Jeannette changed the American political landscape forever. A Single Woman illuminates the role of the individual in the American legislative process.

At first, the woman with the ghost in her front yard and tombstones all over the lawn didn’t recognize the Holllywood star standing on her front porch, asking if Josh was home.

“Josh went to California this morning,” 40-year-old Melissa McNichol said. Then she realized it was Patricia Arquette, star of the TV show “Medium” who has a long list of movie credits.

“Oh my gosh — I just got out of bed — I love ‘Medium,’ it’s my favorite show,” she gushed.

Arquette complimented her on the Halloween decorations that festooned the lawn in a middle-class neighborhood of Henderson, and asked McNichol if she planned to vote.

She said she did, and the petite blonde Arquette, who is modest and polite to a fault, thanked her and moved on, along with a local canvasser, Juanita Turner.

Arquette wouldn’t have been thrilled to hear who McNichol plans to vote for: Republican nominee John McCain. Arquette, an ardent supporter of Democrat Barack Obama, was looking for Democrats and independents, seeking to persuade them to get out to the polls on the first day of early voting Saturday.
