They both played TV teenagers in the 90s, but it took a couple decades for actresses Christina Applegate and Alyssa Milano to earn a "Hall Pass." According to The Hollywood Reporter, the lovely ladies have been cast in the Farrelly brothers comedy alongside already announced stars Owen Wilson, Jason Sudeikis, Jenna Fischer and Amanda Bynes .

With a growing gang of famous faces, the flick seems to be shaping up to be the raunchy step-cousin to Garry Marshall's sweet-as-pie "Valentine's Day" (though we somehow doubt the actors' mugs will be combined into the shape of a heart for the "Hall Pass" poster).

The flick "centers on what happens when two husbands are given permission to go outside their marriages for guilt-free romantic liaisons for one week." We're not sure which characters Christina and Alyssa will play, but it's likely at least one, if not both, will be married to the husbands mentioned, which leaves one burning question: Who in their right mind who want to step out on these gals? We're curious to see how this kooky premise turns out and if the wives get a little on-the-side lovin' of their own (if you know what I mean).

What do you think Crushers? Do you think "Hall Pass" is going to ace the reviews or end up on academic probation?

Owen Wilson and Amanda Bynes are shooting a scene for the Farrelly Brothers’ comedy “Hall Pass” at Emory University in Atlanta, GA tonight.

They will be filming at the Kappa Alpha Order (KA) and Alpha Tau Omega (ATO) houses on “Frat Row.” The two fraternity houses will be transformed into sorority houses for the film according to the school’s newspaper, The Emory Wheel.

Actors Owen Wilson and Amanda Bynes will arrive on campus today to film a scene for “Hall Pass,” a comedy directed by Bobby and Peter Farrely to be released next year.

David McClurkin, filming liaison for Emory University and business development manager of marketing, said that Emory is one of 42 locations of filming in Georgia and that Emory alum JB Rogers (’86C) is working on the movie as first assistant director.

The film crew will arrive on campus at 8 a.m. and set up during the day at the Kappa Alpha Order (KA) and Alpha Tau Omega (ATO) houses. Filming will begin this evening and Eagle Row will be closed until 6 a.m. tomorrow.

The two fraternity houses will be transformed into sorority houses for the film, McClurkin said.

“Emory won’t be featured by any means,” McClurkin said, “but Emory has what looks like really authentic [Greek life] houses that look good in front of the camera.

Amanda Bynes has signed up to appear in the Farrelly brothers' new comedy, Hall Pass. The Hairspray actress will star alongside Owen Wilson, Jenna Fischer and Jason Sudekis in the movie, Variety reports. The Farrelly brothers have written the film. It follows two married couples who are stuck in a rut so the wives give their husbands a "hall pass" that allows them to have extra-marital affairs without consequence.

But the catch is, the wives get the same privilege. Peter and Bobby Farrelly hope to start directing the movie next week in Atlanta.

Amanda Bynes is refusing to have children until she is in her thirties - because motherhood will take up all her time. The 23-year-old Hairspray star, who has previously brushed off reports she's dating rappers Drake and Kid Cudi, is single after she was dumped last week (ends14Feb10) by a mystery man.

Amanda Bynes has joined the cast of the Farrelly brothers' comedy "Hall Pass" for New Line. Owen Wilson, Jenna Fischer and Jason Sudeikis have already boarded the project, which is being directed by Bobby Farrelly and Peter Farrelly. Story revolves around two married couples who find themselves going through the motions and the wives give their husbands a "hall pass" to engage in extracurricular affairs.

The brothers wrote the screenplay with Kevin Barnett and Pete Jones. The Farrellys are producing through their Conundrum Entertainment banner with Conundrum's Bradley Thomas along with Charles B. Wessler. Bynes begins filming next week in Atlanta. The actress, whose bigscreen credits include "She's the Man," most recently appeared in the musical "Hairspray."

AMANDA BYNES is refusing to have children until she is in her thirties - because motherhood will take up all her time. The 23-year-old Hairspray star, who has previously brushed off reports she's dating rappers Drake and Kid Cudi, is single after she was dumped last week (ends14Feb10) by a mystery man. And Bynes is adamant she has a few more years before she considers raising a baby, even if she finds the perfect man to settle down with.

Taking to her Twitter.com page, she writes, "I want to be a mom but not til I'm 30 and even if I get married b4 (before) then I still want to wait to have kids til long after I'm married. (Because) children are a lot of freakin work and I can't deal with that til I'm AT LEAST 30 :)"

Amanda Bynes has been criticised by Twitter users after she claimed that she prefers dating "chocolate" men. The actress, who has been linked to rapper Kid Cudi, used the social networking site last week to tell her followers that she was missing a man. According to The Huffington Post, she wrote: "It's amaziing [sic] how good it feels when someone knows how to love your body! I am having withdrawals from a certain guy lol. So turns out i prefer chocolate over vanilla. interesting."

Yesterday, Bynes was forced to defend her comments, adding: "FYI if any girls are mad that I like 'chocolate' they need to seriously get OVER it. sorry, you can't have all the chocolate for yourself. "SO quit hating on me because I'm VANILLA and I like CHOCOLATE, ok? because it just makes you look like a hater."Bynes has now deleted the messages from her Twitter account.

The phrase “You win some, you lose some” seems to be how Amanda Bynes rolls. The “What I Like About You” actress recently took to her Twitter to express some emotions, saying, “If something doesn’t work out with the guy I like, then I guess it just wasn’t meant to be! You can’t FORCE relationships/love. If it’s meant to be, it will be!”

Continuing on, the 23-year-old wrote, “Oh well! It was fun while it lasted. I’m over it. It’s a good thing I never said his name so I can pretend like it never happened! I will just block him out of my memory!”And if you need love advice, take it from Amanda. “Love is like a puzzle. When ur in love, all the pieces fit but when ur heart gets broken, it takes a while to get everything back together.”

Amanda Bynes has a new boyfriend who knows how to love her body right and she'd like us to know this has something to do with him being black. "it's amaziing how good it feels when someone knows how to love your body! I am having withdrawals from a certain guy lol :)" she tweeted last week. "So turns out i prefer chocolate over vanilla. interesting."

Some people took offense at her racial preference, and she took to Twitter once again on Wednesday to defend it. Amanda has since deleted the tweets but luckily bloggers have preserved them in screen grabs:Amanda Bynes has a new boyfriend who knows how to love her body right and she'd like us to know this has something to do with him being black.
