“Lucifer” Has a New Mom – and She is Hot!

For the second season of Fox's “Lucifer,” the title character will have his mother around – and she’ll be played by Tricia Helfer of “Battlestar Galactica.” According to the show’s producers, she was the perfect “vessel” for the spirit of mommy dearest, despite having only a four-year age difference with the actor who plays her devilish son, Tom Ellis. “We were going for the hottest version [of Satan’s mother] we could possibly find, and I think we succeeded,” executive producer Ildy Modrovich told reporters at the Television Critics Association press tour on Monday.
