Bizarro Fiction is hilariously awesome. Ass Goblins was an alright story IMO. Other books in this particular genre include:

Shatnerquake. Calling it a book is charitable but technically correct.

Shatnerquake is the most ridiculous book I've ever read.
Much too early for your purposes, but kind of interesting- There was an unofficial follow-up to Don Quixote, written by someone called Alonso Fernández de Avellaneda.
Cervantes was not amused, and when the actual second part came out, it featured Avellaneda's work as a plot point- Quixote is outraged that people were publishing slander about him, and actually encounters one of the characters from the spurious work and makes him recant his testimony. A few hundred years later, Borges would take Quixotic metatextuality and authorship questions to another level entirely in his short story "Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote".
Alan Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and Philip José Farmer's Wold Newton series, both weave bewildering arrays of fictional works together.
Gregory Maguire's Wicked is fairly well known, but probably more for the musical adaptation than the original novel. Dunno about the public domain status of the Oz works when it was published, though.
There's an entire genre of Sherlock Holmes pastiche, and has been since the thirties or forties at least- and there are related genres devoted to Nero Wolfe and other fictional detectives from the first half of the 20th century.
There's also a book called Shatnerquake, which is exactly what it says on the tin.
I can't help you with regards to the legal status of that sort of work, or what you'd need to go through to get it published.
This has sorta kinda been done, only with characters and not with actors.
It reminds me of a Jeff Burk novel called "Shatnerquake", where all the characters played by William Shatner are out to get the real William Shatner.

Sex sells. You know? The books feel like some cross between a Troma film fan fiction.
In fact, Bizarro Central describes Bizarro as:
Other great Bizarro authors include Jeff Burk, Mykle Hansen, and Cameron Pierce.
It's really fun stuff, in the way that art house films and dropping acid are really fun stuff.

Sounds kind of like a reverse Shatnerquake.
Shatnerquake.
Not even kidding.
Kind of like this book.
