Demi Moore was a steady presence by Ashton Kutcher's side during shooting of the new "Miss Guided" sitcom he produces -- and such behavior had a profound effect on the series leading lady, Judy Greer. Reports Judy, "It was inspirational to see how they stick together -- she was with him all the time. Relationships can be hard in Hollywood, which makes it especially important for a couple to spend as much time together as possible."

Judy's love, independent filmmaker Felipe Marino, was also a presence on the set of the sitcom, which completed its first-season commitment the day before the Writers' Guild strike began last October. "He'd bring me burritos for dinner from our favorite Mexican restaurant," she says. She also says that they've been together for about a year but have no plans for marriage yet.

Greer, whose credits include "What Women Want," "The Wedding Planner" and "13 Going on 30," and the series "Arrested Development" and "My Name is Earl," will have a lengthy wait before "Miss Guided" starts a second season. All seven segments that were shot are being run off this month, and it'll be May before ABC announces its fall lineup and August before the series would return to production. She has confidence in the show and believes that her role as a perky high school guidance counselor has plenty of room for growth -- and she is high on the ability of Kutcher (who guested on a "Miss Guided" episode last week) to steer the show. "He has so many good ideas, so much energy, and he is so charismatic. Working with him is really, really fun."

THE INDUSTRY EYE: Just when you thought they had to be running out of ideas for reality shows, someone's come up with "Journey of 1,000 Miles." In preproduction now, it's described as a show with celebrities who want to go talk to the Dalai Lama.

Casting is underway for a big-screen adaptation of R.L. Stine's "Mostly Ghostly," which sounds a little like a "Topper" for little kids.

MAKING BIG DOUGH: The "Numb3rs" troupe will be "working until May 5, when we finish up the last episode," reports costar Dylan Bruno. He'll head back to his hometown of Milford, Conn., where he's trying his hand as a restaurateur by opening a little joint called Poppa's Pizza No. 2. Then, "we've gotten our early pickup, so we'll be going back sometime in July."
