More comedy for Kate – Yay!
She must really need the work to star in drivel like this…UGH!
Seriously? Another C Lister who’s not a comedic actress? Locklear, Tisdale and now Addison. I prefer cameos from famous people.
Ashley Tisdale is not a cameo. Shes’s the star in Scary Movie 5
Is she really that desperate? LOL
Kate Walsh IS a comedian. That’s how she started her career.
Kate is an amazing actress, of course she’s not desperate. She’s my idol and she’s fucking funny. She can do it, it’s obvious that you don’t know what you’re talking about. She was a comediant, I believe that she will do an amazing job!!
Pfft, Ashley Tisdale is a comedic actress. She has always done comedy and isn’t a C list actress at all. This is where Anna Faris made a name for herself and now Ashley Tisdale will increase her fanbase, attention and talent by being THE LEAD in Scary Movie 5 @JJ
Not sure how I feel about Kate Walsh being in Scary Movie 5.
