Diva cougar Mariah Carey evidently has a small cameo as herself in the upcoming Adam Sandler comedy, “You Don’t Mess With Zohan,” which opens June 6. We all knew that Sandler played a Mossad agent who escaped to cut hair in New York City, but what we didn’t know is that his character is apparently obsessed with Mariah Carey. Apparently the singer runs afoul with Zohan’s former nemesis, The Phantom, launching him and his pals back into action. [Extra/JoBlo]

Zack Snyder wants your commercials. The “Watchmen” director is looking for aspiring filmmakers or TV commercial-makers to create 1980-era’d ads for “Veidt Enterprises” (the character Ozymandias‘ alter-ego is billionaire scientist Adrian Veidt, the film takes place in the eighties). The bonus is you could potentially see one of your commercials in the film, the rub is you probably won’t make a dime and you’ll have to sign over your life rights for its inclusion. Either way, the film is due March 6, 2009. [Details at PRNewswire]
