The new sex addiction comedy just got some rock cred.
Singer-songwriter Pink has joined the cast of "Thanks For Sharing," writer Stuart Blumberg's follow-up to his acclaimed screenplay for "The Kids Are All Right," according to The Playlist.
Blumberg will also be making his directorial debut with the story of three people who become unlikely friends while undergoing a 12-step treatment for sex addiction.
Pink, who will be going under her real name, Alecia Moore, for the role, joins a cast that includes Gwyneth Paltrow, Tim Robbins, Joely Richardson, Patrick Fugit, Josh Gad and "The Kids Are All Right" star, Mark Ruffalo. Pink, er, Ms. Moore will be playing the role of Dede, a kindred spirit of Gad's character, a sex addict who cheats his way through several recovery programs.
Surprisingly enough, Pink (we'll just call her that -- it's a cooler name than "Alecia Moore," anyway) doesn't have that many on-screen film credits under her belt. She appeared as herself in "Get Him to the Greek" and as kind of funhouse-mirror versions of herself in "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" and the "Rollerball" remake, but her only other "Alecia Moore" credit to date is "Catacombs," the 2007 horror flick in which she and Shannyn Sossamon were terrorized throughout the 200-mile labyrinth of limestone tunnels underneath Paris.
Anyway, it will be be interesting to see her in a role where she's (presumably) not singing and/or screaming.
Principal photography has already commenced on "Thanks For Sharing," which will probably tour the festival circuit in late 2012 before locking down a distributor and U.S. release date.
