Hollywood is filled with unique casting stories but it looks like comedian Bill Burr takes the cake on this one. From making fun of Star Wars during his stand-up performances to playing Migs Mayfeld in The Mandalorian, Bill Burr came a long way. But the question is, why would Star Wars want to cast a man who has been making fun of their extremely popular franchise?

Kelly Rowland, one-third of pop trio Destiny's Child, is in final negotiations to star as the female lead opposite Duane Martin in the indie feature The Seat Filler for director Nick Castle. The project goes into production Saturday in Los Angeles with Nia Hill, D'Angela Steed and Martin producing. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are executive producing. Filler will see Martin -- who also co-wrote the project with Mark Brown and Tisha Campbell-Martin -- star as Derrick, a struggling, unemployed man who is studying for the bar exam. To make ends meet, he works as a seat filler for various awards ceremonies. While occupying the seat of a high-powered entertainment attorney, Derrick meets his dream girl, Jhnelle (Rowland), a gorgeous superstar who is performing at the event. To Derrick's amazement, Jhnelle falls hard for him too. There is one problem: Jhnelle is under the mistaken impression that Derrick is a wealthy lawyer, not a lowly seat filler. Rowland is repped by CAA, Matthew Knowles of Music World Music and attorney Ken Hertz of Goldring Hertz and Lichtenstein. She will be seen next in New Line Cinema's Freddy vs. Jason, due out next month.
