Bridesmaids’ love Bruce Vilanch— but royal date is just a dream…

A couple of comedy queens weighed in on the Royal Wedding yesterday while passing through town.
“Bridesmaids†stars Kristen Wiig and Wendi McLendon Covey haven’t been invited to next week’s wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton, but that didn’t stop the girls from weighing in on whom they would choose for their plus-one if an invite miraculously appeared.
“Bruce Vilanch,†the “Saturday Night Live†funnygal told the Track.
As in the outlandish, hirsute comedy writer and “Hollywood Squares†square???
“I think he’d make out with me,†she joked.
“If you’re lucky! He’s so presentational,†Wendi chimed in. “I would bring my husband, because no one chicken dances like him,†the former “Reno 911!†star said. “He’s fun on the dance floor. He’s 6-foot-7 and knows how to move. That’s a whole lotta limbs.â€
But the box office “Bridemaids†weren’t exactly sold on the idea of waking up at 4 a.m. to see the British lovebirds tie the knot.
“I think I’m gonna be on a plane. I think we’re doing press junkets that day. But we sooooo would watch it,†said the sarcastic Wiig, who remembered her mother rousting her out of bed early to watch William’s parents, Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer, tie the knot back in 1981.
“Yeah, I’ll DVR it,†Wendi agreed jokingly.
Why aren’t we convinced???
