This story at the New York Post says that Larry King’s role of the Ugly Stepsister in Shrek 2 will be expanded for the DVD version. In “a visit by American Idol to Shrek’s swamp, King’s character sings Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, which he previewed Monday when he accepted the We Are Family Foundation’s Humanitarian Award at Studio 54″. This is likely to be an an extra on the disc, and not an additional scene inserted into the movie.

Finally, a red-carpet walking Antonio Banderas tells the SMH that “his character in Shrek 2 had proved so popular that DreamWorks might even make a film based solely around Puss in Boots. ‘I am going to be a cat until the day I die’, he joked. ‘Jeffrey Katzenberg said to me today Puss is going to have probably his own movie so we are researching for that’.”
