And here are yet another round of small casting bites, courtesy of Variety:

• You might not be familiar with the name Frederic von Anhalt, but you're certainly familiar with his famous wife -- the one and only Zsa Zsa Gabor. While he only has a few acting gigs to his name, the man has scored a part as "a corrupt Las Vegas casino owner" in Charlie Matthau's upcoming flick Baby-O, which has begun filming in Las Vegas and LA -- the same locales used in Matthau's 2007 production, Mikey & Dolores. As for von Anhalt, this seems to be a side gig to his many adult adoptions. According to IMDb, Frederic and Zsa Zsa have adopted a handful of grown men lately.
• Chris Hemsworth, meanwhile, looks to be your regular sort of actor. Aside from his high-profile gig playing Captain Kirk's father in Star Trek, he is also looking for A Perfect Getaway. This is that Hawaiian thriller with Timothy Olyphant, Milla Jovovich, Steve Zahn, and Kiele Sanchez, which you can find out more about here. Hemsworth gets to play some dude named Kale.
• Kale is not one of the stalkees in his gig, but I don't know if the same can be said for Arlen Escarpeta, who you might remember from We Are Marshall, or from The Ten, where he got Oliver Platt's Arnold Schwarzenegger impersonation as a father figure. Arlen has picked up "a lead role" in the remake of Friday the 13th, which is shooting now down in Austin. Will he survive, or will he be a victim?
  
• Finally, there's Alexis Dziena, who has nabbed a gig as a sister to Kristen Bell in When in Rome. Dziena will player Bell's younger sister "who's getting married on a whim." This is just one of many roles the actress has nabbed lately. She was in Fool's Gold, and just wrapped a part in Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist.

We already know that Zachary Quinto's Spock will be pulled from the legs of one Heather-killing lady, Winona Ryder. But what loins could ever produce a baby that will one day grow into William Shatner? According to IESB, that would be Chris Hemsworth. If you've seen the Aussie show Home and Away, he plays some guy named Kim Hyde. Otherwise, the 24-year-old is pretty much a newcomer. That's right -- 24. I hope one of you Trekkies out there can tell me how he's going to play the dad of the 27-year-old Chris Pine. Is this only in flashbacks? Or do they just want to age him to be believable? Sure, there's rumors of time travel, but it doesn't sound like the time travel revolves around earlier-than-school days.

The same news piece also notes that House M.D. star Jennifer Morrison, who was rumored to have joined the cast, has definitely signed on. Unfortunately, that confirmation doesn't include any information about who she's playing. Hence the following speculation: IESB thinks that due to her clothing in the spy pictures taken from the set, she's probably going to play molecular biologist Carol Marcus (who gets involved with Kirk and gives birth to his son, David) and not Janice Rand (USS Enterprise yeoman). Why? It looks like she's wearing a skirt and slip-ons, and her hair is down, rather than pinned up like the other Starfleet females. While she looks pretty commanding in a suit (look above), I'm thinking she may just be a Starfleet flasher.
