LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- "The View" co-host Sherri Shepherd is taking a painful page from her life and turning it into something to laugh about.

Lifetime has ordered a pilot for an as-yet-untitled comedy loosely based on Sherri's own relationship experiences, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

In the pilot, which was first developed for The CW, Sherri will play a woman dealing with a wandering husband who lets her husband's mistress and child move in with them.

Besides her co-hosting duties on "The View," Sherri has acted on "Everybody Loves Raymond," "Less Than Perfect" and NBC's "30 Rock."

    Hasselbore used to be the most annoying panelist on 'the View'.....until Sheperd showed up. during her many months of on-air "auditioning", Sheperd was sweet, funny, and laid back. but after actually being hired she became shriek, loud, border-line vulgur, and all head-snappin' 'tough' (i.e. stupid) broad chick. and now a sitcom on her
