‘Development’ slate

Actress Heather Graham (“Austin Powers”) will guest star on “Ar rested De velopment” in an epi sode revolv ing around confused Bluth Family teen George Michael (Michael Cera).

In the episode, shooting next week, George Michael develops a crush on his ethics teacher, Beth (played by Graham) – then watches in horror as his dad, Michael (Jason Bateman), also falls hard for the sultry teacher. There’s no airdate yet for the episode, which is likely to air next month.

Teresa Strasser, late of TLC’s “While You Were Out,” joined “Good Day New York” as the show’s feature reporter just before the holi days – arriving here from L.A. smack-dab in the middle of that first early-December snowstorm.

“I’ve already been to a farm upstate feeding goats, visited a doughnut factory and this morning I had breakfast with women who’ve been brides maids over 10 times,” the exu berant Strasser said yester day. “I’m like Lucille Ball – in fact, I’m the Jewish Lucille Ball of morning TV!

“I’ve never been very di rected in my career – I’ve walked through whatever door has opened,” she said, describing her career path.

“When I was on ‘While You Were Out,’ which I loved, there were no surprises – I knew every day I would be redecorating someone’s house. And this is great – every day it’s something dif ferent.”
