Emily Blunt goes Greek with Russell Brand

Emily Blunt seems to be a hot topic on the headlines lately. First, she joins Gulliver's Travels as a Lilliputian princess and Jack Black's love interest, then she dropped out of Iron Man 2 as the Black Widow because of scheduling conflicts and now, she joins quirky British comedian Russell Brand in a Forgetting Sarah Marshall spin-off, Get Him to the Greek. Busy, indeed.

Blunt will reportedly be playing a pop musician who duets with Brand, reminiscent of Black Eyed Peas' Fergie. The movie will begin right where we left off, rock star Aldous leaving behind Hawaii and out-of-work TV actress Sarah Marshall for London. Brand says that the once clean Aldous is back on drugs and Jonah Hill reprises his role as the almost-stalker, Aldous super fan, Matthew. With Judd Apatow producing, Jason Segel writing songs for the sequel, and Brand's cheeky humor and crazy antics, this spin-off has some serious comedic potential.

Check out the karaoke version of Aldous' music video from Forgetting Sarah Marshall:
