...Wedding Planner). She plays Marty, a poetess, flower arranger and dispenser of advice to Eloise, and as usual, she's cute, funny and charming enough to be able to recite a poem featuring a phallus without making you hate her. Fogler plays Burke's manager Lane. Lane is plump, sweaty and initially seems so eager to cash in on Burke's burgeoning celebrity that we assume we're watching a young Ari Gold (without Ari's personal trainer).
