Casting Tidbits: Lenny Kravitz, Benedict Cumberbatch & Ari Graynor
Off the top of my head, I'd say you're looking at a Boeski, a Jim Brown, a Miss Daisy, two Casting Tidbits and a Leon Spinks, not to mention the biggest Ella Fitzgerald ever. First up, Lionsgate has announced that Lenny Kravitz has landed a role in Gary Ross' anticipated adaptation of The Hunger Games. We heard Kravitz had been offered a role previously, but there was no word on his character. Now it's been revealed that he will play Cinna, the fashion stylist to Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) for the ceremonial lead up to The 74th Annual Hunger Games. He's mild-mannered but his designs are show-stopping. Read on!

Gozer the Gozerian… good evening. As a duly designated representative of the City, County and State of Casting Tidbits, I order you to cease any and all supernatural activity and return forthwith to your place of origin or to the nearest convenient parallel dimension.

Casting Tidbits: David Hasslehoff, Colin Firth, Orlando Bloom & More
This is like if that Blue Oyster shit met that Afghan Kush I had - and they had a baby. And then, meanwhile, that crazy Casting Tidbits stuff I had and the Super Red Espresso Snowflake met and had a baby. And by some miracle, those two babies met and fucked - this would the shit that they birthed. First up, if slack-jawed Gary Busey wasn't enough stunt casting for Piranha 3DD, you'll be happy to know that The Weinstein Company just announced that "Baywatch" lifeguard David Hasslehoff has also joined the cast of the tongue-in-cheek horror. Since the fish invade a waterpark this time, it's easy to see why he's needed.

Casting Tidbits: Larry David, Brendan Fraser, Greta Gerwig & More
This is Berk. It snows nine months out of the year, and hails the other three. What little food grows here is tough and tasteless. The people that grow here, even more so. The only upsides are the pets. While other places have ponies, or parrots…we have Casting Tidbits. First up, we know Larry David landed a role in The Three Stooges, but this revelation of his character was outrageous enough to warrant recalling the news for a small update. Jane Lynch is already playing Mother Superior at the childhood stooges' orphanage and Deadline says David will play Mother Mengele. Yep, it's a Jewish comedian playing a nun. More below!
