While ABC has neither confirmed or denied the demise of Cashmere Mafia, the program’s prognosis does not look good.  The evidence?  One of the show’s leading ladies is already working on her own backup plan.

Lucy Liu, Cashmere‘s Mia Mason, is reportedly in talks to star in another ABC drama.  Assuming her upcoming schedule frees up, she could soon have a full-time job on Dirty Sexy Money.  The role would allow the actress to return to familiar Ally McBeal-esque territory: Liu would once again play a lawyer.

In case you were wondering about Lipstick Jungle (a.k.a. NBC’s version of Mafia), that show did make it on the 2008-09 schedule.
