The more we hear about "Anchorman: The Legend Continues," the more we know that someone upstairs is looking out for us, amirite? Because now, in addition to Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Kristen Wiig, Harrison Ford and Sacha Baron Cohen, we know that Kanye West will also have a cameo in the upcoming sequel to "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy."
The news of Mr. Kardashian's role in the movie broke today, when a witness told Hollywood.com that West was spotted filming a scene in Atlanta, GA alongside Christina Applegate and Paul Rudd.
The source said that West was "quite afraid of heights and required an umbrella for shade most of the time he was on the roof."
Filming of the movie has been going on for several weeks in Georgia, including scenes in which Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) wrestles a shark.
No word yet on what West's role will entail.
