Love Guru's got the Austin Powers, Dark Angel, and a former N'Syncer.  Now it's got an Oscan winner in the cast as well.

Ben Kingsley, Meagan Good and John Oliver will star opposite Mike Myers, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Alba in the Paramount Pictures comedy "The Love Guru" says The Hollywood Reporter.

In a role befitting a British knight, Kingsley plays Guru Tugginmypudha, the ashram leader who teaches the title character (Myers) how to love himself and how to wear a chastity belt.

Good plays Prudence, the woman who leaves Toronto Maple Leafs player Darren Roanoke (Romany Malco) for his French-Canadian hockey nemesis, Jacques Grande (Timberlake).

Oliver plays manager Dick Pants, whose goal is to get the Love Guru on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" to settle a rivalry between his client and Deepak Chopra.

Alba plays the Maple Leafs manager, who enlists the Love Guru's services to restore Roanoke's mojo after Prudence betrays him. Verne Troyer plays the team coach.
