ABC is taking the whole Michael Bolton-as-a-pop-culture-reference thing to a whole new level. Deadline reports that the 30-minute sitcom "Michael Bolton’s Daughter Is Destroying My Life" is now in development at ABC and stars the Grammy award-winning pop singer. The show "tells the story of a naïve young writer who moves to the big city and ends up taking a job heading 'social media' for singer-songwriter Michael Bolton. The writer quickly learns she has her hands full with Bolton and the wild-child daughter he has recently taken in."

Will Bolton turn into the gimmicky, forced "fictional" character like James van der Beek is in "The B in Apt. 23"? If  Lonely Island's "Captain Jack Sparrow" offers any evidence, then hope remains:
