Well, we suppose it IS a little nauseating to watch a dude fake fornicate with someone almost literally half his age!

In scandalous, HIGHlarious looking indie comedy The Oranges starring Leighton Meester, Adam Brody, House Hugh Laurie and Allison Janney, Leighton's 24-year-old character Nina Ostroff ends up having sex with her daddy's bestest pal, AND her friend's father, David Walling (Hugh Laurie).

And apparently, their acting was SO realistic, Allison Janney, who plays Nina's mother Cathy, actually threw up!

Well… MAYBE she did.

In a rather mysterious interview, Janney revealed:

We know Aaron Sorkin has been busy working on The Newsroom, but did he have enough time to write a movie script for The West Wing too?

Eh… Nope!

Actor Joshua Malina had a lot of people fooled when he tweeted a picture of Allison Janney and Bradley Whitford practicing lines, along with the message:

Tom Cruise has already been named a cinematic icon, but Katie Holmes still has some work to do to get to that level of stardom.

Needless to say, the 33-year-old still has PLENTY of time and has lined up her next project. The actress is in negotiations to join a seasoned ensemble cast in the adaptation of Anton Checkhov’s classic play, The Seagull.

Katie is in talks to play

Holy shiz! We guess being Alan Alda means the A-Listers just come flocking to you!

The actor will be holding a special reading of his new play, Radiance: The Passion of Marie Curie, which “explores the intellectual passions of the physicist/chemist most famous for her pioneering research on radioactivity, as well as her tumultuous private life marked by her strong determination to pursue both love and knowledge," during the opening night gala of the World Science Festival on June 1st, and none other than Meryl Streep will be performing in the title role!

Other castmembers include Amy Adams, Allison Janney, and Liev Schreiber!

Wow! Impressive line-up!

We're certainly very curious to see how this is received!

Break a leg, you guys!
