Not sure what the truth is, but we have heard many rumors here in the Mill City about Ricky Gervais' new flick "This Side of the Truth"

Gervais and Co. left behind some papers at one of their shooting locations last week and we got some inside info on the film. From the notes it looks that Gervais is playing Mark in the movie; Tina Fey is Shelley; Rob Lowe is Brad; Louis C.K. is Greg; and Jeffrey Tambor is Anthony.

Also, one of our reporters chatted with comedian Kathy Griffin on the phone who went bananas to learn that Gervais is in Lowell. Griffin wants Gervais to join her on stage when she performs two shows at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium on May 1.

Maybe we can set the two up!
