In addition, part of the sequel will be set in Bangkok, where Clinton was giving a speech over the weekend.

"The Hangover 2" has been the recent buzz following the departure of Mel Gibson, who was scheduled to make a cameo appearance, but was replaced by Liam Neeson after news of Gibson's scandalous personal life went public.

"The Hangover" director Todd Phillips will return to direct the sequel, which is set to hit theaters Memorial Day weekend of 2011. (Source: The Washington Scene)
