A little birdie tipped us off that the casting people for the upcoming Judd Apatow/Steve Carell project 40 Year-Old Virgin (no explanation necessary) are trolling local porn production companies for talent. They weren't looking for porn stars to really stretch themselves in the craft; the part in question is a hooker that's supposed to devirginize Carell's character. A day after sending out some script pages, though, the porn companies were told the hooker part had been rewritten as a tranny (thereby ratcheting up the hilarity levels by at least 33 percent). We don't want to tell these professionals how to do their jobs, but why don't they just cut out the middleman by taking a slow drive down Santa Monica Boulevard in Hollywood after sundown? They'd have nearly limitless casting options, most of whom probably already have SAG cards.
