Hollywood Ink: Now Starring, No. 13, Alex Rodriguez

· Yankees superstar Alex Rodriguez is set to make his screen debut on Friends With Benefits -- the Justin Timberlake/Mila Kunis version, not the Ashton Kutcher/Natalie Portman one. Rodriguez's role in the comedy isn't clear, though the producers are said to be working with him and the Yankees to squeeze A-Rod's shooting days into his baseball schedule. Like, it's the middle of the season! When does any baseball player have time to do anything but play, cameo or not? LeBron James couldn't even get his film made in the offseason, when all he's bothered doing is polishing his own star. Anyway, this is happening. [Variety]

Moneyball, meanwhile, hires an actor to portray a baseball player (imagine!), Haley Joel Osment goes raunchy, and more Hollywood Ink after the jump.

· Parks and Recreation co-star Chris Pratt is the latest to join the cast of Moneyball, in which he'll play restored Oakland A's first baseman and designated hitter Scott Hatteberg. [THR]

· Haley Joel Osment will be back onscreen for the first time since 2007 in Sex Ed, appearaing as a would-be high school algebra teacher -- and, wouldn't you know it, a virgin -- who gets stuck teaching sex education instead. I wonder how that will end. [THR]

· More than a year after he was indicted on charges related to the Anthony Pellicano case (remember that?), director John McTiernan pleaded guilty to making two counts of making false statements to the FBI and one count of perjury. He faces a year in prison and will be sentenced Oct. 4. [THR]
