    2:24 PMDays after signing an impressive four-year, $154 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James is now in talks to star in a comedy feature. Variety reports that his SpringHill Entertainment company just sold an untitled comedic film to Paramount Players (a division of Paramount Pictures) that James would produce along with Maverick Carter. This would mark the second time James has appeared in a feature film, following his impressive debut as a version of himself in 2015’s Trainwreck. More about James’ Hollywood power moves here.

    Kelley L. Carter is a senior entertainment reporter and the host of Another Act at Andscape. She can act out every episode of the U.S. version of The Office, she can and will sing the Michigan State University fight song on command and she is very much immune to Hollywood hotness.
