Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel alumni Joss Whedon and Eliza Dushku (above, hot) are heading back to TV.

Dushku will star in the Whedon-penned show Dollhouse for Fox, who order seven episodes of the series.

Dollhouse centers around a top-secret world of agents who are sent on assignments armed with different personalities, abilities and memories that are whipped clean and sent back to a lab ("The Dollhouse”) at the end of each mission. But Dushku's character, Echo, begins to develop self-awareness, which affects her missions.

Unless there's a writers strike, Fox should have the show in production by spring.

And if there is a writers strike, Fox can just turn it into a reality show about a not-so-top-secret world of celebrities who are sent on average-Joe middle-class assignments like cleaning houses, grocery shopping, doing their own laundry, and getting audited by the IRS armed with only their bullsh*t Hollywood personalities, abilities and memories, which are are whipped clean at the end of each mission via a dose of Xanax and Vodka. They could call it Whorehouse!
