Peter Kay is reportedly joining The X Factor team for the first day of auditions.
The comedian is apparently a huge fan of the show and The Sun reports he has offered his services to close friend and judge Gary Barlow as a warm-up act to get the crowd going at the Liverpool auditions.
An insider said: “Peter loves reality TV. He is also good mates with Gary and wanted to have a taste of it. He rang up the producers on the show and asked to be part of the team in Liverpool.
“He’ll do a few gags and he may even throw in a Take That number.”
Peter famously spoofed reality TV talent shows for his Channel 4 show Peter Kay’s Britain’s Got The Pop Factor…
And Possibly A New Celebrity Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly On Ice.
Gary surprised Peter at his comedy gig at Manchester arena last year and the pair performed an impromptu sing-along of

“Anchorman 2″ has some urgent and horrifying news. All of you need to stop what you’re doing and listen.

It has a teaser poster.

The highly anticipated “Anchorman” sequel unveiled its first bit of promo materials on Wednesday, and it should make lovers of poetry, scotch and Baxter very happy.

The pic, which you can check out below, features the feet of Ron Burgundy and his Channel 4 News Team (Brick Tamland, Champ Kind, Brian Fantana), as well as the tag line “The Legend Continues.”

“All of these actors and writers on ‘Anchorman’ have such an incredible chemistry, it would be a waste for them not to work together again,” producer Judd Apatow told HuffPost last month about the sequel. “I’m glad they are trying. Nobody in the world is funnier than Will [Ferrell] and Adam [McKay], so I’m excited to see what they write.”

In another “Anchorman 2″ marketing news: the teaser trailer for the film is currently screening in front of “The Dictator.” Expect it online soon enough, but if you can’t wait for the video, head over to Hollywood.com for a blow-by-blow.

“Anchorman 2″ will likely hit theaters in 2013.

Ready for more Louis C.K.? You’re in luck.

accolades for his latest one-hour special, “Live at the Beacon Theater,” which he announced, produced, and independently released within about a month last November. This time, he’s beat his own record by releasing the album without any formal announcement beforehand.

Although some of the material may be familiar to fans of C.K., it has never been released as a special before. He explains on his website:

This is material that I was performing two years ago (about) on a tour that was called “Word”. Some of this material was on my FX show “Louie” in pieces but the entire show in one piece was never released. This show was recorded at Carnegie Hall on November 4, 2010.

His last special before “Beacon Theater,” the concert film and album “Hilarious,” was filmed in April 2009, over a year before his “Word” tour. C.K. is notorious for developing a new hour of comedy each year. “Beacon Theater” will make its TV debutSaturday on FX.

The “Louie” star, who recently swept the Comedy Awards, also released his breakthrough special “Shameless” for $5 on his website.

Even though we’re a little confused about Mz Handler’s nod,
we completely agree with Fest’s decision to make Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy

Other comics that made the 30th anniversary line-up include:
Kevin Hart, Aziz Ansari, Bill Hader, Bob Saget, John Pinette,
Lewis Black, Jim Gaffigan, Patton Oswalt, Wayne Brady and Mario Cantone.

Srsly, we just got a comedy boner from saying all those names.
This f*cking incredible (and lady deprived) Canadian comedy fest
runs from July 12 to 29.
UGH! We wish we could go!!”

Nick Cannon is going to “School Dance,” coming on board to direct and produce the coming of age comedy for Lionsgate.

Pic, co-written by Cannon and Nile Evans, will go into production in June. Cannon and Michael Goldman are producing through NCredible Entertainment and the film is expected to star NCredible musical acts New Boyz and The Rangers.

The comedy, in the vein of “Friday” and “House Party,” centers on a high school freshman who wants to be part of the most popular dance clique in his school — but he tends to freeze in the spotlight and has no clue how he’s going to pass the initiation.
Project marks Cannon’s feature film directing debut. He has previously directed TV films for Nickelodeon, including “School Gyrls” and “A Very School Gyrls Holla-Day.” Cannon acted in “Drumline,” “Roll Bounce” and “Love Don’t Mean a Thing.” The multi-hyphenate became chairman of TeenNick in 2009. Cannon is represented by ICM.
