NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - "Las Vegas" star Molly Sims has landed roles in two big-screen comedies: Jim Carrey's "Yes Man" and Steve Martin's "Pink Panther 2."

Carrey plays a man who decides to say "yes" to every request and opportunity that comes his way. Sims plays the ex-wife he can't get out of his head. Zooey Deschanel and Bradley Cooper co-star in the Warner Bros. film, which will be directed by Peyton Reed.

In "Panther," Sims plays a news anchor who chronicles the misadventures of Martin's bumbling Inspector Jacques Clouseau. Emily Mortimer, Andy Garcia and Alfred Molina also appear in the Columbia/MGM production. Harald Zwart directs.

Aside from NBC's "Vegas," the former model has appeared in "Starsky & Hutch" and "The Benchwarmers."
