Not sure what all the facial hair is about – but whatever! Jenny looks beautiful, as always!

A rep for the 47-year-old actor tells Usmagazine.com that his daughter Jane, 21, is expecting her first child with Alex Santana, who is in the band “Blood Money” and goes by the stage name is “Nitro.”

“I’m very excited,” Carrey tells Us. “Jane is going to be a great mom.”

Carrey had Jane with ex Melissa Womer.

He has been dating Jenny McCarthy for more than four years. She has a son, Evan, 6, who battled autism.

Last year, Carrey said they have no plans to wed.

“I love Jenny very much, and we have a great relationship. And we’ve both been married a couple times,” he told Larry King. “I like it the way it is, and I think she likes it the way it is.”

A Christmas Carol is both written and directed by filmmaker extraordinaire Robert Zemeckis, of everything from Back to the Future to Who Framed Roger Rabbit to Forrest Gump to Contact to his past CGI movies The Polar Express and Beowulf previously. This is based on Charles Dickens’ classic story. Jim Carrey stars at least four different characters, alongside of Gary Oldman, Robin Wright Penn, Colin Firth, Cary Elwes, and Bob Hoskins. Disney will debut A Christmas Carol in theaters everywhere on November 6th.

I can see Jim Carrey, but Sean Penn? Seems weird to me!

Sean Penn has signed on to star in the upcoming film, The Three Stooges, playing Larry. Jim Carrey is in negotiations to play Curly and Benicio del Toro is possibly being considered to play the trio’s slap-stick leader, Moe, Hollywood Reporter reports.

The film — which will not be a biopic but a fictional treatment that will be updated for modern audiences — has been an ongoing project of the Farrelly brothers and MGM for years.

Peter and Bobby Farrelly — who have been behind such films as Dumb & Dumber, There’s Something About Mary and The Heartbreak Kid — wrote the original script, which was at one point structured similarly to the Stooges’ classic short films by featuring a story that would’ve spanned over three installments of roughly 30 minutes each. They have since streamlined it into a single narrative.

“When the economy started turning, we felt like the world could use a Stooges slapfest,” Peter said last year. “Bobby and I haven’t done a real physical comedy in a while, and it’s the most exciting thing we could think of now, to have people go to the movie, see some great slapstick fun family humor.”

MGM plans to start production in the fall for a 2010 release slot.
