Mark it AWESOME, dude -- because the main cast from "The Big Lebowski" is REUNITING in New York this month during the annual Lebowski Fest!!!!

Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi and Julianne Moore are all scheduled to appear at the fest on August 16 ... where they are all set for a Q&A session with fans before watching a screening of the flick.

If you haven't been to a Lebowski Fest -- it's kind of like a Trekkie convention ... with way more pot.

Abide.

It's a start ...

BTW -- Good news for all you Achievers* out there; John says he wants to hit up a Lebowskifest one of these days. Mark it awesome, dude.

* = Achievers are people obsessed with "The Big Lebowski." If you've never heard of it, rent it.

Hopefully it's just for a movie and he'll lose it fast.

TMZ has learned the names of some of the celebs who have been driven by the limo company that rolled video inside the limo.

As we reported, Ready to Roll has driven Britney Spears, but the A-list is much longer. Other celebs driven by the company include Kevin Spacey, John Goodman, Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman and many others.

We're told one of the drivers, Kenny Nervik, drove Spacey for more than a decade. Nervik was arrested July 2 and charged with sexually assaulting four kids, all under 16. Three of them were his foster kids.

Ready to Roll would not tell TMZ if the celebs were also audio taped.

We asked Spacey about Ready to Roll tonight as he showed up for a Broadway play in NYC, but he was mum.

That's one way to distract the paps!

Here's an idea: why don't porn star Ron Jeremy and talk radio tub Tom Leykis sign each other's racks and call it a day? Until that Arbitron ratings book-buster, here's the lowdown on some other boobs ...

Keith Richards: Given that Johnny Depp has tipped his pirate hat to the rocker for helping inspire the stagger of Captain Jack Sparrow, call this one "Dead Man's Jest." The Rolling Stones guitarist swears he was only kidding when he told the UK's "New Musical Express" (NME) that he once snorted cocaine mixed with some of his dad Bert's ashes. Forget the fact that the journalist who interviewed him, Mark Beaumont and a boatload of fans worldwide are not buying the recant. The real questions now are: a) Can anything Richards does on screen as Jack's father Teague in next month's "At World's End" top this scenario?; and, b) If the Stones do tour again, will Richards be able to get through his signature song, "Before They Make Me Run," and the lyric "Booze and pills and powders, you can choose your medicine" without the lighters turning to laughter?

John Goodman is in hot holy water with a German film company after he allegedly backed out of playing the role of Pope.

According to a lawsuit filed yesterday in Los Angeles County Superior Court by Constantin Film Produktion, Goodman "entered an oral agreement" in or around February 2007, to play the role of Pope Sergius in an upcoming film titled, "Pope Joan," for the sum of $500,000. However, two months before shooting was to begin, Constantin claims the actor reneged on the deal and had his lawyer break the bad news via a March 14 email.

In the lawsuit, Constantin claims that Goodman "knew that Constantin would rely on his promise by not casting or seeking to cast any other actors for the role of Pope Serguis" and because of that, lost "significant sums" on pre-production activities. Now, Constantin is asking for more than $3 million to cover their losses.

In a statement to TMZ, Goodman's rep, Stan Rosenfield, said, "There were talks about Mr. Goodman participating in the "Pope Joan" project, although no agreement was ever reached. This is a frivolous lawsuit."
