There's something about cameos today in Hollywood.
Saturday Night Live scion Lorne Michaels told MTV that Steve Martin will be playing a small part in the upcoming comedy, Baby Mama. The movie stars Tina Fey as a busy woman who hires a Amy Poehler to be a surrogate mother for her. Michaels wasn't revealing too much, but said that Martin did a couple of days on set. Greg Kinnear, Dax Shepard, Sigourney Weaver, Maura Tierney and Romany Malco will all have parts.
And completing the SNL link, alum Chevy Chase will be doing a cameo in a live-action version of Jack and the Beanstalk. Katey Sagal (Married...With Children), Wallace Shawn (The Princess Bride), Gilbert Gottfried (Aladdin) and Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future) will all be in the low-budget family-friendly fairytale, says The Hollywood Reporter. Word is that James Earl Jones is considering voicing the giant.
