Mila Kunis to join Seth McFarlane's 'Ted'

The busiest man in the world not named Ryan Seacrest is undoubtedly Seth McFarlane. He's gone from his extensive world of TV shows to his upcoming feature directorial debut, the buddy dark comedy, Ted.  Mark Wahlberg is already attached for the lead role, as a guy who lives with his belligerent talking teddy bear. As you might expect, having a foul mouthed stuffed animal as a best friend might cause a few problems in the relationship department, even for somebody who looks like Mark Wahlberg.  Now Mila Kunis is apparently in talks to play Wahlberg's girlfriend, who wants desperately for him to leave the bear behind.

Joining her in negotiations is Adam Scott, who most will likely recall from the Starz network TV series, Party Down, or most recently in Piranha 3D.  He'll be playing Kunis's boss, who she turns to for comfort when things with Wahlberg's character go south. Talk about taking a step down.
