Let the Ghostbusters 3 casting rumors continue!

After Hollywood director Paul Feig announced his plans to bring Ghostbusters 3 to the big screen with an all-female cast, Hollywood's funniest actresses have been speaking out about the film.

During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Monday, Girls star Lena Dunham was asked if she will be starring in the project.

"I have to say, since I've heard that rumor I think every lady in town who fancies herself a jokester wants in," she explained to Ellen DeGeneres. But before she could deny the rumor completely, the focus quickly turned to Melissa McCarthy who was also appearing on the talk show.

"I heard you're in Melissa," Dunham proclaimed. "I'm not in. I'm not in!" McCarthy replied. Gosh darn it, then who is?!

It appears the casting is still a mystery. Everyone from Emma Stone and Kristen Wiig to Gillian Anderson and Linda Cardellini has been mentioned. But for now, the coveted roles are TBD.

Meanwhile, Dunham was also asked about her famous sex scenes in Girls that always leave her with little to no clothes on. When asked if she ever gets nervous about filming the revealing moments, Dunham reassured the audience that it's all good.

"It's not something that happens to everybody in their life. It's not like death and taxes. It only happens to a select few," she joked. "Ya know, it's so weird. I feel as though for some reason that's just not my particular zone of terror...I feel totally cool being naked."

What is downright frightening is the thought of driving in and around Los Angeles, no matter what time of day it is.

At 28 years old, the actress admits she still doesn't have a driver's license and quite frankly, she doesn't want one.

After enrolling in driver's education courses, the HBO star and new author was persuaded to take a driving test which she ultimately failed.  

"Not everyone is supposed to be a mother and not everyone is supposed to drive," she explained.  "And there's so much societal pressure. It doesn't make total sense. I know from the bottom of my soul that if I were to have a license I would hurt somebody."

In that case, Uber away Lena!
