Emily Blunt has revealed that she would like to appear on NBC’s The Office.

The actress, who is the real-life wife of Officestar John Krasinski, joked to E! Online that the show has turned her down in the past.

“Oh yeah, I would love to do it!” she said. “I’m… clawing at the door [but] they’re like, ‘No, sorry’.”

The Gulliver’s Travels star admitted that she would like to play a love interest for Krasinski’s Jim Halpert.

“John obviously has loyalty to [on-screen wife] Jenna Fischer,” she explained. “I’m just aiming too high.”

The Office will return to NBC on January 20.

Emily Blunt was a childhood tomboy.

The ‘Devil Wears Prada’ actress – who is renowned for her sense of style – admitted she had more boyish interests and hated being dressed in feminine clothes when she was a youngster.

She said: “I never dreamed of being a princess when I was a child – I wanted to be on the soccer team. I wasn’t into Barbie dolls and swore I’d never, ever wear pink. I’d throw tantrums if my mum put me in pink clothes. Not a girlie girl at all.”

However Emily – who married actor John Krasinski in Italy this summer – thinks being a tomboy has helped her to cope on male dominated movie sets.

She explained to Company magazine: “I like being one of the boys. It usually ends up being the case anyway because there’s often one female part to every five male parts on a film set. When you’re outnumbered you have to be willing to accept that there might be crass humor going around, but you get used to it.”

Emily Blunt has been offered the lead role in romantic comedy ‘Five-Year Engagement’.

The British actress – best known for her appearance in fashion movie ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ – would appear alongside Jason Segal in the movie, which will be directed by Nicholas Stoller.

Little is known about the plot of ‘Five-Year Engagement’, although Judd Apatow is signed up to produce the project, which is being funded by Universal, New York Magazine’s Vulture blog reports. • Continue Reading?

With Rachel Weisz signing on for a number of projects all shooting within the next short while, we figured at least one of them was going to get left in the dust.

As you might recall, early last month Weisz signed on to star in an untitled new film from director Lynn Shelton, who was behind last year’s Sundance hit “Humpday.” The semi-improvised film—which also stars Emily Blunt and Mark Duplass—revolves around a man who comes between two sisters, but it looks like Blunt will be getting a new sibling. Variety reports that Rosemarie DeWitt will replacing Weisz, who has bowed out of the picture.

For Shelton, while it means losing a major star for her film, she is still gaining a strong actress who will certainly be more than able to tackle the material. As for Weisz, we presume this clears up her calendar a bit so she can continue work on a host of projects that include Terrence Malick‘s forthcoming effort, Fernando Meirelles’ ”360,” Terrence Davies‘s “The Deep Blue Sea” and the recently announced spy thriller from David Hare “Page 8.”

They’re about to work together in Lynn Shelton’s new semi-improvised and as-yet-untitled project. Production starts later this month in Seattle. Steven Schardt, co-producer on Shelton’s bromantic comedy Humpday, will produce. The whole movie’s only taking a couple of weeks to shoot, which is how Rachel Weisz can squeeze it in after spending one week on Terrence Malick’s untitled new film, and before Terence Davies starts shooting The Deep Blue Sea in November.

Blimey, Weisz must be the busiest actress working in Britain. She’s repped by Independent in London and CAA in the US. Not that Blunt’s any slouch. She recently signed to headline Rian Johnson’s Looper, opposite Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis. In March 2011 she’ll star opposite Matt Damon in sci-fi mystery The Adjustment Bureau opposite Matt Damon. Blunt is repped by CAA in the U.S. and Ken McReddie Associates in London. Shelton, meanwhile, recently directed an episode of Mad Men, and has signed on with Focus Features to direct Then We Came To The End, an adaptation of the Joshua Ferris novel to be produced by Ted Hope and Anne Carey’s This Is That. It’s the story of copy writers at a Chicago ad agency when the dot com bubble bursts in 2001.

Emily Blunt has joined the cast of Rian Johnson’s time-travel film, Looper, confirms Variety.

Blunt, who next appears in Gulliver’s Travels and The Adjustment Bureau, will act alongside Bruce Willis (who starred in the time travel story 12 Monkeys) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (who starred in Johnson’s first film, Brick).

The early screenplay was described as “really violent and dark” by Johnson during a Brothers Bloom edit bay visit in 2008 and, according to more recent reports, will deal with a group of hitmen who receive their assignments from the future. Blunt is said to play a single mother whose son becomes a target.

Looper is set to begin production in January in Louisiana.

A British newspaper is reporting that producers are hoping to sign Emily Blunt as a villain in Iron Man 3. The report also says that Gywneth Paltrow will not appear in The Avengers.

A new report in the British newspaper The Daily Mail claims that producers are “hoping to land British star Emily Blunt to play the villain in the next Iron Man installment.”

Blunt was the original choice to play the Black Widow, a role that eventually went to Scarlett Johansson when scheduling conflicts forced Blunt out of Iron Man 2. If this report is true, Blunt apparently made an impression on the producers, who are keen work with her. • Continue Reading?
