This must be some kind of record! After just nine days of filming, the first promotional still from Bad Teacher has been released! The image, courtesy of Entertainment Weekly’s PopWatch, has Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake dancing together at what looks to be a school prom.

Check out the image in the gallery by clicking on the picture above, and read what director Jake Kasdan said of the duo and the movie below:

“They obviously know each other really well,” Kasdan says of his stars. “They’re good friends, and they’re both incredibly funny people. I couldn’t be more excited about it.”

According to Kasdan, Diaz is playing no less than the worst 7th grade teacher ever. “She’s usually hungover when she gets to school,” he says. “She’s kind of foul mouthed. And she’s completely fixated on trying to afford breast augmentation surgery, and very open about it. She believes it will help her find the right man who will take care of her for the rest of her life.” Enter Timberlake, as a substitute teacher “who happens to be the heir to a watch-making company,” says Kasdan. “She thinks he seems like a good target.” (Jason Segel rounds out the cast as a gym teacher who pines for Diaz’s character.)

Kasdan says Diaz was the first to come aboard the production, and happily signed off on the idea of playing opposite Timberlake. “They have a shared sense of humor,” he says. “It’s easy for them to be funny together. You know where the jokes are.”

Just to clear rumors of Justin Timberlake’s girlfriend Jessica Biel being jealous over the fact that Cameron Diaz and Justin are co-starring in Bad Teacher, I’m posting a recent quote from Jessica:

“I haven’t read the script, but I think it sounds fantastic! It sounds like it will be so funny. Obviously, I’m super excited for him.”

And there you have it.

How relevant or news-worthy this story is, is up to you guys. Anyway, according to Life & Style Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake will have a “steamy love scene” in the upcoming romantic comedy Bad Teacher. In the movie Cameron plays Elizabeth, a recently dumped school teacher determined to score a date with Justin Timberlake’s character, Scott, a fellow teacher already in a relationship. Here’s what they said about the scene:

Life & Style has exclusively obtained a copy of the movie’s script – and in it, things get awfully steamy. In one scene, the real-life exes are alone in a hotel room and begin, as Justin’s character puts it, “dry humping.” Justin winds up getting, well, way too excited way too soon – ending their make-out session prematurely. “That was a mistake,” he says, rolling off her. “That was fast,” she responds.

Yesterday Cameron Diaz was once again photographed on the set of Bad Teacher, this time looking gorgeous in a short, black dress. She was joined by co-star (and very funny lady) Molly Shannon in her trailer. I have added 22 pictures from the set. Click on the preview above to see all of them, as per usual. Enjoy!

As mentioned in the previous post, Cameron Diaz started filming Bad Teacher on Saturday, March 6. Well, yesterday they continued shooting the movie – also starring Justin Timberlake, Jason Segel, Lucy Punch and Molly Shannon – and Cami was photographed on the set!

She looked gorgeous in a yellow dress, in character for “Elizabeth Halsey”. I have added the first two pictures to the gallery, check them out by clicking on the preview above!

“We’re thrilled to have him! He’s the best person for the job. He’s going to be hilarious. He’s clearly a very talented comedian, look at his ‘Saturday Night Live’ skits. He’s fantastic, he’s going to be so great.”

Whilst being interviewed by Access Hollywood on the red carpet at yesterday’s Oscars ceremony, Cameron Diaz talked about Justin Timberlake joining Bad Teacher. She also shared that they started filming the movie on Saturday, as she had a blast shooting a scene with co-star Jason Segel. Check out the interview below!

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Justin Timberlake has nabbed the coveted role of the male lead in Bad Teacher, the Cameron Diaz comedy Jake Kasdan is directing for Columbia. Molly Shannon and Eric Stonestreet (Modern Family) are also joining the cast.

The script, by Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, follows a foul-mouthed, gold-digging seventh-grade teacher who, after being dumped by her boyfriend, sets her sights on a colleague (Lucy Punch) who is dating a substitute teacher, who also is the scion of a watch fortune.

Jason Segel was cast in the supporting role of a gym teacher, with John Michael Higgins slotted as the principal, but the studio has spent the better part of the new year looking though class photos trying to find its leading man. John Krasinski, Joel McHale, Timothy Olyphant, Guy Pearce, Adam Scott and relative newcomer Cheyenne Jackson were in the mix for table reads and other tests.

Jimmy Miller is producing the feature, which starts filming this month in Los Angeles.

This will be very interesting to see and a guaranteed source for speculation, due to Cameron and Justin’s past. What do you think of Justin Timberlake joining the movie?

According to Empire Online, Jason Segel and Christopher Guest regular John Michael Higgins have joined the cast of Cameron Diaz’ new comedy Bad Teacher.

Jake Kasdan is directing the film, which finds a trashy, gold-digging educator (Diaz) on the hunt for a new sugar daddy after being dumped by her boyfriend. She decides to snatch the perfect male teacher who is currently dating one of her colleagues (Lucy Punch). Neither Higgins nor Segel are that model employee – Higgins is paying headmaster Wally Snur and Segel will be the gym teacher.

With a script by Year One writers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, it’ll start shooting next month in LA.
