Is it a cameo if everyone already knows about it? Nicole Kidman is set to take a page from her ex-husband's playbook and is ready to shake up her image by doing an uncredited comic cameo in the forthcoming Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston romcom "Just Go With It."
While Kidman is coming off a string of big-budget bombs ("The Golden Compass," "Australia" and "Nine") her public image is nowhere near what Tom Cruise's was when he did his fat suit cameo in Ben Stiller's "Tropic Thunder." It's an interesting development to be sure, but perhaps the actress wants a moment of levity between the forthcoming dramas "Rabbit Hole," directed by John Cameron Mitchell and the previously announced gender bender "The Danish Girl" with Gwyneth Paltrow.
Two other casting announcements were also made today. Birkenstock and hacky sack favorite Dave Matthews and model Brooklyn Decker will be joining the cast as well, with the latter playing her first big screen role as Sandler's love interest.
The plot details are being kept secret, but the film "involves Sandler recruiting Aniston to pose as his soon-to-be-divorced wife and her kids to pretend to be his fake family." Sounds wacky. Filming is set to start next month in Los Angeles with Valentine's Day 2011 circled on the calendar for the release date.

"Is it a cameo if everyone already knows about it?"
Yes, it's just nto a secret cameo, dum dum.
Note to self: When calling people "dum dum," run a spell check.
I feel I've seen a couple of movies with this plot line already.
if she wants to shake up her image she should lay off the botox and start acting instead of breezing through 'prestige' films...it seems like she reached a level of fame and just stopped trying...her work Dead Calm is better than most of what she's done in the last 10 years.
Like Nikki Finke, I have Aniston fatigue. Enough with the sh*tty rom coms, and enough with being in my face, PERIOD. GO. AWAY. Isn't there some other TV sit-com hacktress out there who wants to act opposite these male comedy stars? Why not Lisa Kudrow she's way more talented than Aniston anyway. Sometimes I hate Brad Pitt for making her relevant, even if it's tabloid relevant.
I'm all for Aniston hooking up with Michael Haenecke (sp) for some Piano Teacher style dementia...but it'll never happen
This definitely seems like an 'image' makeover kind of project for Kidman.
She did hire Angelina Jolie's manager earlier this year so maybe this is the beginning of some major changes in her career.
What I think she really needs to do is seriously stop the botox and whatever else she keeps doing cause she's become a completely different person.
With The Stepford Wives, Bewitched, The Invasion, The Golden Compass, Australia, and Nine, she really clearly isn't connecting with audiences.
Hopefully Rabbit Hole will revitalize her career.
Is the Danish Girl still happening?
I thought I read in Variety on December 30 that:
'In fact, 2009 might best be remembered as the year of the movies that never were. Studios and financiers pulled the plug on myriad high-profile pics, from big-budget tentpoles like Disney's "Captain Nemo: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" to indie sex-change drama "The Danish Girl," which was packaged as a Nicole Kidman-Gwyneth Paltrow-starring vehicle.'
I had some confidence with the project when Tomas Alfredson was directing it, but if Lasse Halstrom is directing, I am a bit weary. He hasn't made a good film since What's Eating Gilbert Grape? and most recently directed the travesty that is Dear John. I am sure they can do better....heck hire John Cameron Mitchell again!
