By now, you've probably noticed the colorful posters and the hilarious trailer for "Bridesmaids," which features an all-star cast of very funny ladies. Kristen Wiig, Rose Byrne, Melissa McCarthy, Wendy McLendon-Covey and Ellie Kemper, as the title suggests, are bridesmaids in their friend's wedding (Maya Rudolph), and the film follows the complicated process (and ensuing hilarity) of being in a friend's bridal party.
Since the most memorable aspect of being a bridesmaid is the dress — more often than not worn just that one time — MTV News asked the cast, producer Judd Apatow and director Paul Feig to brainstorm a few good ways to reuse a bridesmaid dress.
"Kindling?" Wiig offered.
"[A] mop, definitely, except it's not as absorbent as you [would want]," Rudolph suggested. "It's probably a bit more polyester-based. [Maybe] something that you can put in the sunroof of your car and then close the sunroof and let it fly or flap in the breeze? That would be beautiful."
"Or," Wiig continued, "I thought you were going to say you could put it on your windshield to not have the sun come in so your car is nice and cool."
"Or maybe reuse for a bloody, bloody ghost costume," Rudolph added.
The rest of the ladies agreed with the bridesmaid-dress-as-costume theme.
"Each and every one of them I've used as a costume at the Groundlings," McLendon-Covey said of her wardrobe for the improv comedy troupe. "So I got my money's worth. Even my wedding dress I used as a costume."
"I wore one bridesmaid's dress as a costume," Kemper revealed. "I have a black bridesmaid's dress that is so multifunctional, forget it, I wear it all the time ... some I can't seem to use again; it's those lime-green ones."
"Yeah," McClendon-Covey agreed. "Some of them, the fabric is so chintzy that it changes colors after you sweat in it, it's like, 'Well, my secret's out. I have sweat glands, kids.' "
McCarthy added that old bridesmaid dresses make for excellent dress-up clothes for the little ones, "especially if it's a really bad one. If you have kids or know kids, you can cut it up," she suggested. "Kids love tacky dresses."
Apatow and Feig took things in a completely different direction. "[Wear it for a] sexy night, sexy night fun," Apatow said.
"Role play," the director and producer said at the same time and laughed.
"Oh sorry, I'm the caterer. You've come into the wrong room, bridesmaid," Feig said, role-playing a sexy scene. "Weird how that actually worked out in my head that quickly," he added.

The highly anticipated big-screen adaptation of Suzanne Collins' dystopian best-seller "The Hunger Games" has been loading its cast with a slew of new faces, most recently Wes Bentley as Seneca Crane and two brand new actors as the District 10 tributes.
In addition to the casting announcements of high-profile stars Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen, Josh Hutcherson as Peeta Mellark and Liam Hemsworth as Gale Hawthorne, Lionsgate has been revealing its Hunger Games tributes via its Facebook page.
The big news on Tuesday (May 10) is that Haymitch Abernathy will be played by Woody Harrelson and not John C. Reilly, as had been previously rumored.
Director Gary Ross said of the casting decision: "Haymich is such an unforgettable character: funny cranky outrageous, sarcastic, impatient, biting but ultimately kind. I'm so grateful we have Woody Harrelson to play him. I can't wait for us to get to work."
Haymitch is the only District 12 survivor of the Hunger Games, thus far, and because that title affords him a certain status and life of leisure, he has let himself go, becoming known more for being drunk and disorderly than a victorious tribute. And because he's the only winner from the impoverished district, Haymich must serve as mentor to each year's new crop of tributes — whether he wants to or not.
Veteran actor Harrelson has been working in television and film for more than two decades, having won over audiences with his portrayal of lovable bartender Woody Boyd on "Cheers." He also played Grace's boyfriend Nathan on "Will and Grace" and has appeared in big-screen flicks like "Kingpin," "The People vs. Larry Flynt" (for which he received a Best Actor Oscar nomination), "Zombieland," and "The Messenger" (earning a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nom). He'll next be seen in the Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis romantic comedy, "Friends With Benefits."

Rumors abounded in recent days that Justin Bieber would be canceling a scheduled Australian gig because of a back injury. Not only did Bieber not cancel his Thursday (April 28) show in Sydney, he even brought a special guest to the gig.
"I don't cancel ... In route to Sydney!! THE SHOW IS ON!! I don't let my fans down! LEGGO!! #myworldtour," he wrote on Twitter before the gig. "Sydney ... Leggo! #myworldtour"
Hours later, Bieber and his crew revealed to fans who couldn't be at the show that his "Up" remix partner, Chris Brown, had taken the stage with him Down Under. "@JustinBieber and @ChrisBrown just tore the stage down. INSANE. #MyWorldTour," music video director and Bieber insider Alfredo Flores tweeted. Fans then began to weigh in on the pairing, causing Bieber to retweet their kind praise for the performance.
"I feel bad for that stage cause I just heard @justinbieber & @chrisbrown just killed the stage! LOOK AT ME NOW!" AlexisDanielle6 wrote.
Another Belieber, annargh, added, "@JustinBieber that was the most amazing concert I've ever been to! You are so talented! THANK YOU FOR SHARING IT WITH US."
Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, even tweeted a picture of the two performing together, writing, "Look At Them Now! @justinbieber and @chrisbrown 2nite in SYDNEY ... KILL'T IT!"
Bieber obviously had the final say, writing, "And they thought we might cancel tonight. Look at Me Now! I love Australia! #SWAG."
According to a report in The Daily Telegraph, the crowd of nearly 16,000 girls went mad as Bieber played on the latest stop on his My World tour at the Acer Arena. "By the time the countdown clock announced the arrival of the 17-year-old superstar, you would have thought these over-excited, sugar-fueled kids would be ready to relax and enjoy the show," the review noted. "Nope, they blew the decibel reader into the red — reaching 110 decibels between songs — the equivalent of a chainsaw. Ear plugs were a matter of survival."

Might Charlie Sheen's entourage soon expand beyond porn stars?
Producer/creator Doug Ellin wants to pair the troubled actor with Vincent Chase and company, having already contacted the star to appear on the final season of Entourage.
"I called his manager and was told maybe I'd get him," Ellin told TV Guide. "But I'm still waiting for Charlie to call me back. I'd come up with something good."
New episodes of Entourage will conclude filming next month June, which would actually open up Jeremy Piven to replace Charlie on Two and a Half Men, if CBS so desires. Chimes in Ellin: "It would be feasible and they'd be lucky to have him."
