Carrey and Gyllenhaal Sign On To ‘Damn Yankees’ Film

This is the gayest thing I’ve heard since (and currently), well, probably Lindsay and Samantha swapping vagine juice…but it’s possibly the coolest, too.
Word on the street is that Jim Carrey and Jake Gyllenhaal will be starring together on the big screen adaptation of the classic musical, Damn Yankees.
You might think this is shit, but Craig Zadan and Neil Meron are behind the project…the dudes who successfully brought Hairspray, A Raisin in the Sun, and Chicago alive on the big screen.
Carrey is due to play the devil to whom Jake plays Boyd/Joe Hardy who sells his soul for the victory of his baseball team. Ah. Queens dancing and singing. What more could a girl ask for.
