There’s a whole lot going on at The Office these days. In the last week alone:
• Jack Black, Jessica Alba, and Cloris Leachman have all been cast for the show’s big hourlong post-Super Bowl episode. According to Zap2it’s Korbi, the entertainers were already filming their guest-star stints earlier this week, as well, which will reportedly have them appearing in a movie that some of the Office workers are watching.
In other words, Black et al won’t be in the office itself, but on a screen somewhere within the office. Kind of takes the fizz out of the whole …read more

Office star Rainn Wilson was one of the many non-teenage entertainers who stopped by the 2008 Teen Choice Awards on Sunday, August 3, and he looks like he had a blast even though he didn’t win anything.
Take a look after the jump to see what I mean. This is the guy you’d want to invite to your boring office party to spice things up … or at least make the occasion kind of weird.

TV Guide posted an interesting video recently featuring The Office’s Rainn Wilson, who’s just becoming a bigger and bigger and bigger star with each passing day.
The actor provides a bit of scoop on the upcoming fifth season of the show in the clip — Hint: He’s ready for Dwight to battle Andy to win Angela — and also talks about some of his own favorite TV shows, such as Lost.

Rainn Wilson Office Scoop

Movie news, movie news, movie news!
First up: The Beverly Hills Cop trilogy is gearing up for a fourth installment starring original star Eddie Murphy in his original role of Detroit cop Axel Foley (I’ll never stop loving that oddball name).
According to Variety, Paramount is reportedly ready to make the movie after watching the fourth installment of the Indiana Jones franchise heat up the box office since its May 22 premiere. Nothing talks like money in the film biz, so look forward to a release in the summer of 2010.
As for Rainn Wilson, the alter ego of everyone’s favorite Office …read more

The Hollywood Reporter scored an interview with The Office star Rainn Wilson, better known as white-collar weirdo Dwight Schrute to comedy fans, and the actor was kind enough to discuss his history of playing odd characters.
It’s amazing how different and non-weird Wilson seems in real life as compared to Schrute, who’s actually quite scary sometimes.

Well, it looks like H.R. man Toby really is leaving, after twelve years at Dunder Mifflin, and for Costa Rica, too. Despite the fact that he despises him, Michael wants to throw a big farewell party for Toby to celebrate having a huge weight lifted off his back. Obsessively frugal Angela is against a huge to-do due to a lack of funds, which leaves Phyllis in charge of finding an anti-gravity machine per Michael’s request after the boss hands over a shoeful of dough he’s saved.
Toby’s replacement, Holly (Academy Award nominee Amy Ryan, …read more

If you’ve been hankering for more of Michael and Dwight and Pam and Jim and everybody else on The Office, tonight is your night.
After pulling Monk and Psych from the schedule last week due to unimpressive ratings, NBC has replaced the repurposed cable programming with a two-hour block of Dunder Mifflin repeats tonight.
Each hour will feature one of those double episodes the sitcom is known for: both installments of the fourth-season premiere “Fun Run” at 8pm EST, followed by the two parts of “Dunder-Mifflin Infinity” at 9pm.

We get off to a typically funny “Michael is an idiot” start when, excited to be going to a job fair at Pam’s alma mater Valley View High School, he declares Daryl can hire some students to work in the warehouse and nobody has to worry about giving them internships since they’re definitely not going to college. Daryl’s instant, spot-on comeback is to ask Michael which college he attended. Michael ignores the question, of course, because he didn’t go to college either, presumably.
While Michael lugs Daryl (blue-collar rep), Oscar (accounting rep), and Pam …read more

While MICHAEL bemoans the poor quality of the women people have been setting him up with — according to him, they lack a certain Cindy Crawfordness — RYAN takes a trip to the Scranton branch after informing everyone they’ll have to work the next day, a Saturday. Why? The goal is to reformulate the sales they’ve been making by phone as website sales through Dunder Mifflin Infinity, a change that will get the sales reps no commission.
As the staffers complain during the unenthusiastic meeting Michael calls with Ryan, it’s not just switching the …read more

Uh-oh! An office fight of sorts is in store on the May 1 episode of The Office involving Michael — of course — and Stanley.
I can’t imagine how the title “Did I Stutter?” relates to that, but I have full confidence that I know which Dunder Mifflin-ite is going to come out on top. Hint: Not the eternally annoying one.
The Office airs Thursdays on NBC at 9pm EST.
