Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Warner Bros, Sequels, Comedy, Casting, Upcoming Releases,

UPDATE: You can see pictures of Clinton on the set here.

If you thought Mel Gibson's hiring -- then firing -- would be The Hangover 2's biggest casting news, you would be wrong.

Turns out there's another guy who could possibly generate more buzz than the beleaguered actor: former President Bill Clinton.

According to People, Clinton filmed a brief cameo in the comedy sequel over the weekend. An aide to the former POTUS -- who was already in Bangkok, Thailand talking about clean energy -- says he appeared as himself.

No other details about Clinton's guest stint were revealed.

The Hangover 2 is scheduled for release on May 26, 2011.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Warner Bros, Sequels, Comedy, Casting, Celebrity Controversy, Rumors, Upcoming Releases,

Liam Neeson has been selected to take over the tattoo artist role in Hangover 2, a cameo originally given to Mel Gibson. When some members of the cast and crew protested to Gibon’s participation in the film, a rep for both actors quickly swapped the one for the other.

The rep joked that Neeson would join the film “pending clearance of cast and crew background check.” Apparently, the Irish actor passed the test because TMZ is reporting that Neeson arrived in L.A. Saturday to begin working on the film.
