Fans of the pot-smoking Showtime series 'Weeds' will have to get along without one of the two divas that make the show tick. Elizabeth Perkins has left the show, and will be starring in a film while also developing her own comedy-show vehicle.

Perkins is ending her five-year run on the Showtime series, for which she has earned three Emmy nominations for supporting actress in a comedy series as well as two Golden Globe nominations.
Tim Hill, who directed the live-action/animation hybrid "Alvin and the Chipmunks," is at the helm of "I Hop," a tale of an out-of-work slacker (James Marsden) who accidentally injures the son of the Easter Bunny (voiced by Russell Brand) and must take him in as he recovers.
"I Hop" will be her first movie since 2005's "Must Love Dogs." Perkins also is developing a comedy series as a starring vehicle for herself.
