Ugh.

McCartney is in talks for a brief role, and could make a deal that would allow the series to feature his songs.

The New York Post reports that Myers is currently in discussions to turn his trilogy of hits into a musical for the Broadway stage.

Myers, who has also signed a deal for a fourth “Austin Powers” film, will not star in the Broadway production.

The New York Post is reporting that Eddie Murphy may make a guest appearance on this weekend’s “Saturday Night Live”. The episode is slated to be hosted by Murphy’s Tower Heist co-star Ben Stiller and word is that work is going on behind the scenes to get Murphy, a former cast member, to pop up. Murphy has never previously participated in any SNL reunion, so this would be quite the get. Reps for Eddie Murphy denied that there were plans for Murphy to appear on SNL, while SNL’s reps did not comment.

I’m not sufficiently prepared for the Eddie Murphy come back tour. Also, historically, this would be remarkable for SNL.

Don’t cancel your Netflix account yet.

Yes. Genius. Do it Lorne.

(Faber is best known for her roles on Broadway - American Idiot and H2$ the most recent - but she has studied at UCB and the PIT. You can view her audition reel through the link. Splitsider also reports that SNL is looking for a black female player as well).
