Foxx, Latifah hook up with "Valentine's Day"

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Jamie Foxx, Queen Latifah and Carter Jenkins have joined the all-star cast of the romantic comedy "Valentine's Day," being directed by Garry Marshall.

The ensemble already includes Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Garner, Shirley MacLaine, Bradley Cooper, Ashton Kutcher, Topher Grace, Emma Roberts, Hector Elizondo, Patrick Dempsey and Eric Dane.

The New Line film, already shooting, follows five slightly interconnecting stories in Los Angeles on Valentine's Day.

Foxx plays a TV sports reporter who has been sent out on a "Valentine's Day in L.A." story instead of covering his usual beat. Latifah plays the agent for Dane's character, a football player.

Jenkins plays a young man with a hectic schedule who struggles to find time to lose his virginity with his girlfriend (Emma Roberts).

Foxx next stars in "Law Abiding Citizen." Latifah can be heard in "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs." Jenkins next appears in the comedy "Aliens in America."
