Rob Lowe —  or at very least, Rob Lowe’s corpse! —  is heading to Lifetime. Lowe will star in the network’s new ripped-from-the-headlines film Beautiful and Twisted as Ben Novack Jr., the heir to Miami’s luxury Fontainebleau hotel fortune who was found brutally murdered. Paz Vega will play his wife, Narcy, a prime suspect in his murder, while Candice Bergen plays his mom. Presumably he isn’t murdered right away and/or the film relies heavily on flashbacks/ghosts, or else Lowe is just seriously trying to cut down on his work schedule these days.
