At Least It Ain't Renee


So Zooey Deschanel is, according to Dark Horizons, going to be playing Janis Joplin in Penelope Spheeris' biopic of the singer, The Gospel According To Janis.

We can consider the Zellweger-bullet dodged then? Or is there another seperate biopic being made? Is Janis the Alexander the Great of 2006/07?

I'm not even a fan of Joplin, but the rumor of Zellweger playing her gave me an instant case of acid reflux. Nothing against Ms. Z, she can be fine when she wants to be, but her apple-cheeked girl-next-door "Who, me?" routine wouldn't have exactly cut it playing a woman as connected to a bottle of Jack Daniels as she was to a microphone.

Zooey... I like Zooey. She's yet to give me enough of a reason to love her (though All The Real Girls came damned close), but the possibility floats there, in the ether, waiting for her to snatch it up. This probably wouldn't be the project to make that happen but it might give her the opportunity to maybe find that role. Think the gal you played in Elf, only you're the star, Zooey!

What do y'all think? Yay or nay? Poor Courtney's too old. Speaking of Miss Love, how long has Lovelace been sitting there on IMDb as "announced"? Is that thing happening or what?
