'Big Bang Theory' season 8 spoilers: Will Lisa Kudrow join cast as Penny's mom?

Last May, "The Big Bang Theory" was renewed for more seasons and with regards to the 8<sup>th season, rumor has it that the show won't return before fall. But if you're looking for spoilers to keep you excited until the show comes back, well, here they are.

Main character Penny, played by Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting always had long hair. But recently, she chopped it all off for a pixie cut. Cuoco-Sweeting looks great, but fans are wondering how this new hairstyle will affect Penny in the show.

Cuoco-Sweeting talked to TVLine and shared that "the producers loved it," referring to her hairstyle. She added, "I'm hoping Penny will keep the haircut, that's my goal." She also shared her thoughts about how the season 7 finale ended, saying "The finale wasn't a 'To Be Continued,' so I don't see any problem with it. People change; people get haircuts, so I think this is a realistic move for Penny. Fingers crossed!"

Apart from the pixie haircut, Cuoco-Sweeting also dropped major spoilers for the season 8 plot. She clearly told TVLine that she is very excited with Penny's marriage to Leonard in the upcoming season. "If I could write it myself, I think Leonard will be more of the bride, because I think it would be funny if he were the planner. Penny is so aloof, she'd be a lot more easy-going than Leonard," Cuoco-Sweeting dropping hints about the wedding planning.

In related news, there's a rumor that Lisa Kudrow will join the show and has been cast as Penny's mom in season 8. Penny's mother has been mentioned several times in the show, but she hasn't really made an appearance. Now that Penny is getting married, there's a good chance that Penny's mom will finally reveal herself. We reckon that Kudrow will be a great addition to the comedy show - she has a knack for it anyway.

Cuoco-Sweeting is also ecstatic about Kudrow coming on board. She stated "I don't know what they're going to do, but I have always thought - and I hope this doesn't offend her (Lisa Kudrow) because I know she's super young, though we know Penny's mom got knocked up very early, -- that Lisa Kudrow would be so perfect. I've said that for years. I think it would be hilarious, plus I'm a huge fan of hers, so it's a selfish wish."

Looks like it's going to be an awesome "The Big Bang Theory" Season 8 coming.
