Justin Timberlake is looking for “Love.” Ice Cube gets ready for his big “Comeback.” Plus, David Schwimmer is ready to tell the “Truth.” It’s all in today’s Access Hollywood Casting Call…

Justin Timberlake is joining the cast of the Mike Myers comedy “The Love Guru,” Access Hollywood has learned.

Timberlake will play Jacques Grande, a professional hockey player in the film, alongside the previously announced Jessica Alba, Romany Malco and Verne Troyer.

“Guru” centers on Pitka (Myers), an American who was left at the gates of an ashram in India as a child and raised by gurus. He moves back to the U.S. to seek fame and fortune in the world of self-help and spirituality.

But his unorthodox methods are put to the test when he must settle a rift between a star hockey player (Malco) and his estranged wife. After the split, Roanoke’s wife starts dating fellow hockey star Jacques Grande (Timberlake) out of revenge, sending her husband into a major professional skid , much to the dismay of the team’s owner Jane Bullard (Alba) and coach (Troyer).

Pitka must return the couple to marital nirvana and get Roanoke back on his game so the team can break the 40-year-old “Bullard Curse” and win the Stanley Cup.

“Guru” marks a reunion for Timberlake and Myers, who previously teamed up on “Shrek the Third.”

Timberlake’s other film credits include “Alpha Dog,” “Black Snake Moan” and “Edison.”
