Jane Lynch Cast in The Three Stooges Movie

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Casting, Upcoming Releases,

Jane Lynch has joined the cast of The Three Stooges, a big screen story about the famous trio from the Farrelly brothers.

In the film, Lynch will play a nun at an orphanage, where the stooges live as children. The main cast of the film has been the subject of much speculation, with many names attached to certain roles. Early rumors indicated that Benicio Del Toro, Sean Penn and Jim Carrey would take on the title roles. Later, Johnny Knoxville and Andy Samberg were rumored to be up for two of the roles.

But it’s Chris Diamantopoulos, Will Sasso and Sean Hayes who will take on the iconic roles as Moe, Curly and Larry (in that order). The Thee Stooges production begins in May.

Kirstie Alley, Dancing With the Stars

For some celebs, Dancing With the Stars is a great career move. TV Land and HBO have both recently approached Kirstie Alley since she’s been on the show, asking her to headline two scripted comedy series.

Of the TV Land project, Alley said the series is “being written for me right now that I really love the concept of.” She had less information about the HBO gig; there’s no plot in place at the moment. Either way, we'd love to see Kirstie on a comedy series again.

Stephen Colbert has challenged his nation, and once again Comedy Central viewers have answered… on Twitter.

On his Colbert Report, the host called attention to an argument made by Senate Minority Whip John Kyl (R-Ariz) in which Kyl claimed that 90% of Planned Parenthood’s business is in abortions. Actually, the number is much closer to 3%. By way of correcting the mistake, Kyl’s office released a statement explaining that the Senator’s comment was “not intended to be a factual statement.”
