Critics agree. Mariska Hargitay is the funniest — some say the only funny — element in Mike Myers' current flick, The Love Guru.They're not talking about the stunning SVU star — though she does have an amusing cameo. One of the movie's biggest laughs comes from Guru Pitka's appropriation of her unusual name as his mantra. So how does Hargitay feel about being immortalized in such a way? "It’s hilarious," she tells TV Guide. "It took Mike Myers to finally teach everybody how to pronounce my name properly! It’s not Marissa Hagerty. God bless Mike Myers." The actress says it all started when a mutual friend, producer Eric Gilliland, mentioned to her name to Myers. "I was told Mike's eyes lit up and he just started riffing on 'Mariska Hargitay.'" Several years ago, she went to see Myers doing his character Guru Pitka in a workshop packed with his friends. "The first thing out of his mouth is 'I am Guru Pitka. Mariska Hargitay.' I thought I was being punk'd. I&...

Why, yes. Yes, it is. The Grammy winner also happens to be sportin’ a bushy mustache and speaking in a heavy French accent in Mike Myers’ latest flick, The Love Guru — the story of an American-born Indian ashram who heads back to the U.S. to make bank as a self-help and spirituality guru. JT must have got bitten by the comedy bug after the success of “Dick in a Box”! Your take: Think this will become a Mike Myers classic, or is it destined to tank at the box office?

Mike Myers, Shrek the Halls
The timing was monstrously perfect. ABC was on the hunt for fresh holiday stories, DreamWorks was looking to expand its fantastically successful Shrek franchise to television, and, when last we saw him, the big green ogre was enjoying proud fatherhood with three adorable ogrelets. What better occasion for a visit than the babies' first Christmas? Thus was born Shrek the Halls (Wednesday, Nov. 28, at 8 pm/ET, ABC), a 30-minute special that, for some fans, just might steal Christmas from that other green, grinchier guy. The new special finds Shrek celebrating the holidays with wife Fiona, their children and lots of unexpected guests — Donkey, Puss in Boots and others from the enormously popular big-screen trilogy. Halls also retains the franchise's movie-quality animation and its original voice cast, including Mike Myers, Eddie Mu
