Emma Stone is crazy, stupid in like with her role in “Cabaret.” The “Birdman” actress has extended her run as Sally Bowles in “Cabaret,” with the Roundabout Theatre Company announcing Monday that she will extend her run in the role. Stone will continue through February 15 — two weeks longer than her original covenant. She took over the part from Michelle Williams on Nov. 11 at the Studio 54 theater.

Meanwhile, Stone has been gushing about playing Bowles, a role she said she first saw performed by Natasha Richardson in 1998, when Stone was only 9 years ancient. When she first took the gig, Stone confessed she was “frightened sh—less” about the challenge ahead. But so far, so excellent. She has certainly put stars in the seats since joining “Cabaret.” Andrew Garfield, Bradley Cooper, Keanu Reeves Cobie Smulders, Parker Posey, Naomi Watts and Taylor Swift have all popped in to see her perform.

“There’s beyond doubt been a surge of people coming to see her,” a production insider told us a month ago as Stone was becoming a big draw and Jennifer Lawrence was seen hanging out in her dressing room after a performance. News critic Joe Dziemianowicz gave the show five out of five stars after Stone replaced Williams as Alan Cumming’s co-star, calling new revamped show “solid as a rock.”

DIAZ ON HER MARRY WAY

Never say never! Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden, who’ve been engaged for a matter of weeks, were set to marry Monday night at Diaz’s Beverly Hills manse. Two helicopters were seen Monday circling the gated community of Diaz, who has sworn off marriage so many times it’s become her mantra, while massive tents were being erected in her backyard. Later, flowers, tables and chairs were being carried in. Diaz has also said she’s OK without children. Mmm-hmmm.

PERRY, MAYER HEAD FOR THE HILLS

These two just can’t keep apart. “Part of Me” singer Katy Perry and “Half of My Heart” singer John Mayer broke in the new year by hanging out with friends in Beverly Hills this weekend. We’re told the off-and-on couple, reportedly “off” since early 2014, arrived separately but parked next to one another. It’s possible Mayer was hitting Perry up for Super Bowl tickets. She’ll be performing at the big game in Arizona on Feb. 1.
