Lights, Camera, and Hello, movie moguls and star struck fans everywhere, and welcome to the glamorous world of Hollywood! Yes, the beans are now officially movie stars...sort of. Thanks to the recent New Line Cinema film "Wedding Crashers", and their creative team who designed their Web site, the beans had a chance to stand in for Vince Vaughn and the cast of the film in the movie trailer, in a feature aptly called "Trailer Crashers". Cool, no?

The last time the beans crashed a trailer, there was an angry hillbilly on the other side of a single-wide with a shotgun, so let's all be thankful that nothing that extreme happened again today.

Anyway, the idea behind the Trailer Crashers site was simple yet clever - upload a photo or two of you and your friends/family/vegetables, and the site will superimpose your faces over those of the actual movie stars. It's the easiest way to be a celebrity without having to audition or pimp yourself out on "American Idol", I suppose...

I'm not sure how long the New Line site will be active, but if you want to see the entire "Trailer Crashers" movie trailer starring the beans, here's the link as I know it. Enjoy it while you can.

So here the beans step into the role of Jeremy Grey, as normally played by Vince Vaughn. While the beans may not look exactly like the handsome Mr. Vaughn, there's one thing they can definitely promise you: There's no way they'd ever star in a remake of Psycho...

And of course, it'd be impolite to leave our new, improved golden bean label out of the fun, so here it is, substituting for the lovely Isla Fisher, who plays bridesmaid/hottie/nutjob Gloria Cleary in the movie. Doesn't the gold label just go beautifully with her golden hair? The beans are immensely jealous that they don't have fabulous hair like Isla does. Quick - does anyone know where in Hollywood a can of beans can go to get a weave?

Now, as anyone who has actually seen the film can tell you, it's a movie filled with love, passion, and uh...other forms of emotional releases that fully deserve an "R" rating. But that's okay sometimes - the beans don't live by "G" rated fare alone, you know. Which brings us to this lovely beach scene between our traditional blue labeled beans and the glowing gold frijoles. Who says that romance in film is dead?

The beans loved filming this scene, and are glad that it didn't call for any nudity, since removing their label for anything other than "artistic purposes" would mean another $5 million up front, plus a few more back-end points.

Here the beans and co-star Owen Wilson model the latest in New England post-wedding wear. The beans were hoping to wear something a little "cooler" - like one of Batman's spare capes or a "Vote for Pedro" t-shirt, but the producers said that it'd already been done, so they eventually just gave in and put on the costume provided. But in the end, they really didn't mind - those plaid pants didn't ride up nearly as bad as that sand-filled tux did in the earlier scenes.

Now, most people seem to think that a movie star's life is filled with nothing but parties, limos, free-flowing champagne, fantastic perks, nonstop action, and lots and lots of hot, nubile starlets. And let the beans set the record straight, once and for all: The Dom Perignon isn't all that "free-flowing". Sometimes you have to actually bellow twice before Pauly Shore or Steven Seagal show up to refill you glass. Isn't it hard getting good help these days?

Regardless, the beans enjoyed filming their "dramatic" scenes in the film, and are glad that they didn't have to cry on demand. The last time they had to shed tears like that, the director had to play "Ol Yeller" for motivation (the beans are Method actors - what can I say?), and then the frijoles couldn't start sobbing for the rest of the afternoon. It cost a fortune in wasted takes, overtime salaries, and Kleenex, I'm telling you.

So here they are - with their first ever screen credit. The beans are thrilled to be movie stars, and are hoping that a certain nomination from the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences is just around the corner! (Hint, hint.) And if for some reason an Oscar isn't in our frijoles future, then what they heck - we'll even settle for a People's Choice or a Golden Globe. We're not picky.

Our special thanks goes out to Vince, Owen, Isla, Rachel, Christopher, Jane, and everyone else associated with Wedding Crashers and their Web site for letting us play along. (And yes - we're on a first name basis with the cast. It's a perk of being as famous as our frijoles are.) And in the event that you decide to make "Wedding Crashers II", well then you know who to call for a walk-on cameo, right? Right? Until then, "See you at Spago, babe!"
