Those "Queer Eye" guys are finding new forums for their fabulousness.

Two of the Fab Five, Carson Kressley & Jai Rodriguez, have just
landed acting roles. Kressley will make his studio feature debut
in Universal's "The Perfect Man," Variety reports. This time, the
fashion maven will stretch by dispensing advice to a straight girl.

That would be Hilary Duff, who stars as a teen trying to end her
single mom's (Heather Locklear) streak of dating losers by fixing
her up with someone ideal. And who better to dispense romantic
advice and find a perfect man than kindly uncle Carson? Shooting
begins this month in Toronto, with Kressley's scenes scheduled
around his "Queer Eye" production duties in New York.

As for culture guy Rodriguez, USA Today reports that he's headed
back to the Broadway production of "Rent" to play Angel, a role he
last played in Feb. 2003 - before "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy"
made the Fab Five famous. He will play the character from July 5
through 17 - during a run that will see him sharing the stage with
another reality TV vet, "American Idol"'s Frenchie Davis, as well as
Melanie Brown, the Artist Formerly Known as Scary Spice.

Well that's something...further proving that anyone can become
an actor nowadays, they get to collect yet another paycheck. Also,
Jai Rodriguez, Frenchie Davis and Melanie B.
