Between the Ferns funnyman Zach Galifianakis is reportedly set to take a stroll down the aisle later this summer.

The 42 year-old star of The Hangover and his bride-to-be, Quinn Lundberg, 29, have sent out wedding invitations with an August 11th date and a funny Galifianakis spin to the invites.

“The wedding invite is very Zach,” an insider revealed to Celebuzz.

“While it has the formal and standard details of who, what, when, where – including Zach’s full name Zachary Knight Galifianakis and his fianceé’s Mary Quinn Lundberg – it is also very funny.

“Zach included a drawing of himself and his bride-to-be. He made sure he looked like a little troll, while Quinn is a stunning tall blonde princess.”

The invitations also ask that instead of gifts, donations are made to the Growing Voices foundation that Lundberg is a co-founder of.

Zach Galifianakis. The man has no filter and lots of people laugh – until you’re on the receiving end of his pointed barbs, then maybe, not so much.

But if you aren’t Ke$ha, Sean Penn, Nike, Eliza Dushku or parents who let their children watch The Hangover, you’re relatively safe… for now.

Rolling Stone captures some choice Galifianakis comments from the star. Here are a few:

On turning down Sean Penn’s movie offer: “When Sean Penn called to offer him a role in Into the Wild, Galifianakis told him he had an appointment at Arby’s and to ‘send my Jews the script.’”

On how much he disklikes Ke$ha: “I saw that Ke$ha woman the other day,” he says. She’d e-mailed him about getting a drink, and a few days later, he ran into her in a bar. “She was sitting by herself, and I walked up to her and said, ‘Listen, I got your e-mail. Your music is really bad! I don’t know who listens to it, but I imagine it’s, like, six-year-olds – and it’s a bad message.’ ”

On parents who let their kids watch The Hangover: When little kids tell him they loved The Hangover, he’ll tell them they have terrible parents. “And I mean it.”

A last minute change required a reshoot of the much talked about tattoo artist scene in The Hangover Part II. Liam Neeson had to be cut out and Nick Cassavetes was his replacement.

Director Todd Phillips decided to reshoot the scene in which the cameo featured, and Liam Neeson is no longer available. (Blame the Clash of the Titans sequel.) So he’s been replaced by The Notebook director Nick Cassavetes.

It was originally going to be a Mel Gibson cameo until Zack Galifianakis protested his appearance in the movie, leading to Neeson being cast. I bet Todd Phillips decided to pick him since he already looks like he could be a tattoo artist with that neck tattoo. I’m disappointed that Neeson got cut, he was probably great. I’m hoping they put his cameo on the Blu-ray release.

Here’s the first trailer for the upcoming Todd Philips (The Hangover, Old School) comedy starring Robert Downey Jr., Zach Galifianakis and Jamie Foxx.

While the trailer didn’t have me rolling, I have a lot of faith that this one will be hilarious. All that comedic talent in one place is bound to bring us a lot of laughs.

Zach Galifianakis is certainly not having a shortage of work since his role in the hit movie The Hangover. He’s likely to play Humpty Dumpty in the new Shrek spin-off, Puss in Boots.

Following his big splash with summer’s $461 million grosser “The Hangover,” Galifianakis has scooped up a batch of film roles. Now, he’s entered negotiations to voice the Humpty Dumpty character in “Shrek” spinoff “Puss in Boots.”

“Puss” is set to unspool in Nov. 4, 2011. The character Puss in Boots also co-stars in DWA’s fourth installment of “Shrek,” May 21 opener “Shrek Forever After.”

This is going to be a funny one, especially if they keep adding on talents like Galifianakis. I can’t help but feel like they are milking this franchise a little too much, the first two Shrek movies were great, but the third lacked that same charm. Perhaps they can get it back with the next two films.

The Hangover director Todd Phillips‘ next comedy is called Due Date and it’s set to star Robert Downey Jr., Michelle Monaghan and of course (his new favorite) Zach Galifianakis.

Warner Bros. has (Due Date) scheduled for a Nov. 5, 2010 release.

Downey will play an expectant father who finds himself on a road trip with a mismatched partner, as he races to get there before his wife (Monaghan) gives birth to his first child. Galifianakis plays his road trip mate in a comedy that Phillips calls “a buddy comedy without the buddies.”

After Philips finishes this movie he’s going back to make The Hangover 2, hope both of these are as funny as Old School and The Hangover.
