andPOP - Pop Culture With Substance

Sean “Diddy” Combs has been cast in the spin-off to the 2008 comedy “Forgetting Sarah Marshall.”

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the producer/rapper will play a record label executive in “Get Him to the Greek,” which sees the return of “Sarah Marshall” director/co-writer Nicholas Stoller and producer Judd Apatow.

Also back is Russell Brand, who will reprise his role as out-of-control rocker Aldous Snow. Rose Bryne (“Knowing,” TV’s “Damages”) will play Snow’s latest love interest, an equally wild pop star named Jackie Q.

The cast is rounded out by Jonah Hill, who will play a record-company intern hired to get Snow from London to a gig at Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre, and Elizabeth Moss (TV’s “Mad Men”), who will play the uptight girlfriend of Hill’s character.

Shooting is scheduled to begin shortly for an April 2010 release.
