She also has a recurring role on the new CBS show ``Jericho," which stars Skeet Ulrich and ``Major Dad" Gerald McRaney. (Not exactly lighthearted, the one-hour drama's about a small Kansas town struggling to cope after a nuclear attack.) We tried to reach Pettis yesterday, but she was at ballet school, which she's attending to prepare for the film. (A chip off the old ``Rock," Pettis's character in the film is a dazzling dancer.) ``This is huge for Madison," said her manager, Susie Mains. ``She has 35 costume changes -- she's on almost every page!" Cameras don't start rolling until June 26, but Pettis arrives in Boston Monday to begin rehearsing. ``She's happiest when she's working," said Mains. ``She just starts skipping." Meanwhile, as a result of a marketing dispute with Disney, the NFL's denying producers of ``The Game Plan" permission to use team names, logos, or uniforms in the movie, but we're told the Krafts have been exceedingly cooperative and will, after all, allow the filmmakers to shoot at Gillette Stadium. (The Pats owners are being compensated, of course, but no one's saying how deep Disney is digging into its pockets to film in Foxborough.) Additional scenes will be shot at BC's Alumni Stadium.
