It's been four long years since Mike Myers got in front of the camera for The Cat in the Hat. Yeah, sure, he lent his voice to Shrek but nobody considers those his movies.

USA Today gives us the first look of Mike Myers in next summer's The Love Guru. Myers stars as Pitka, an American abandoned in India as a child and raised in an ashram. (An ashram is a Hindu religious community headed by a guru -- I had to look it up in the dictionary too.)

Along for the ride are Jessica Alba (hubba hubba), Justin Timberlake (yawn), and Ben Kingsley (Gandhi himself). Myers' Austin Powers co-star Verne Troyer (Mini-Me) also makes an appearance as a hockey coach.

Yeah, I'm not sure how he'll make the connection between India and hockey either. But I am confident Mike will make it worth watching. If not, Jessica certainly will be.

The Love Guru arrives in theaters on June 20, 2008. Catch Myers in Shrek the Third on DVD beginning Nov. 13.
