【MusEros Museum of Eroticism】

Knocking off one more celebrity from your Disney princess wishlist,MusEros Museum of Eroticism Zooey Deschanel is the newest live-action Belle.

Only this time, everyone's favorite book worm is coming to life through a live-to-film concert at the Hollywood Bowl rather than in a live-action movie with semi-disturbing CGI. Also, this time the Belle hired for the job actually has some singing chops (sorry, Emma -- we still love you!)

Deschanel (who will headline alongside singer-songwriter Anthony Evans) isn't the only household name contributing both her singing and acting talents to the limited two-day concert event.

Kelsey Grammer of Frasierfame is perfectly suited to play Lumiere in a rendition of "Be Our Guest." Taye Diggs appears to be going back to his Rentroots, playing the part of the musical's lovable scumbag as Gaston. Pitch Perfect's Rebel Wilson will bring her comedic sensibilities as his sidekick in a gender-bending LeFou, while 30 Rock's Jane Krakowski will undoubtedly steal the show as Mrs. Potts.
