That 70's Show star/restaurateur/wooer of hot Hollywood ingenues Wilmer Valderamma is looking to add another slash to his title. The LA Times reports that the busy multi-hyphenate is teaming up with Fremantle Media, the producers of American Idol, to develop and possibly star in both scripted and reality television series.

While Valderamma, 27, has tried his hand at production before with MTV series Yo Mamma, this "first-look" deal with Fremantle gives his company, WV Enterprises, a firm hold in the television world. And when he's not scheming up the latest thing for your tube, Valderamma will be working on the feature film version of CHiPs, playing the role originated by Erik Estrada, Ponch.

His pal Ashton Kutcher, already a TV mogul himself, still has the edge: Wilmer has yet to shack up with a sexy cougar.
