Fun Tidbit: Ricki Lake, who played Tracy Turnblad in the 1988 film version of Hairspray, will make a cameo as a William Morris talent agent who appears at the Miss Teenage Hairspray 1962 pageant.

If you haven’t seen the Broadway musical of Hairspray, you can catch Ashley Parker Angel, formerly of boy band O-Town, as Link Larkin, starting Jan. 19.

If you’re not familiar with Hairspray or Broadway musicals at all, watch the video below of the original cast of Hairspray: The Musical on The Today Show in September 2002. One of the most fun songs ever!

I pledge allegiance to The Statue of Marsden…  Co-stars Amy Adams and James Marsden were busy filming more scenes this past Monday on the Brooklyn Bridge for their upcoming Disney film, Enchanted.  Enjoy this sneak peek of what looks like the wedding dress of Amy Adam’s character.  (She apparently marries Patrick Dempsey’s character in Central Park.) And Marsden definitely looks to have stocked up on NYC souvenirs… a NYC taxi bag, Empire State Building statue, and best of all — a goofy Statue of Libery crown!  After the jump, Marsden and Adams film in more casual clothing… picking up weiners at the Sabrett hot dog stand!  More pictures in the gallery!

Enchanted is a Disney film currently in production.  It uses both traditional 2D animation and live-action - the animation depicts the fantasy/fairy tale world, and the live-action depicts New York. Giselle (Amy Adams), a girl from an animated world is thrown out by the evil Queen Narissa (Susan Sarandon) into live-action New York, where the girl falls for a man living in the city. The film will be the first live-action/animation film by Disney since 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Legendary Disney music composer Alan Menken will be providing the film’s original score.

Confirmed cast — Amy Adams as Giselle, Susan Sarandon as Queen Narissa and James Marsden as Prince Edward.  In negotiations — Patrick Dempsey as Robert and Idina Menzel as Nancy. Tentative release date is November 2, 2007. More pictures in the gallery of James Marsden, 33, in NYC’s Times Square filming an Enchanted scene atop a city bus.  Go MTA!

Here are the latest X3 stills to surface.  Got some new ones of Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), Cyclops (James Marsden), Jean Grey / Phoenix (Famke Janssen), Rogue (Anna Paquin) and Kitty Pryde / Shadowcat (Ellen Page), and Professor X (Patrick Stewart).  X-Men :: The Last Stand opens in theaters nationwide on May 26, 2006.  More pictures in the gallery!
