It�s all about a hard-drinking, coke-sniffing, sex-hungry celeb reporter who�s hired to write about her debauched adventures just as she attempts to clean up her act. The book is supposedly a mouthwatering read, especially for those out there (I assume we are legion?) who salivate over Page Six-style blind items. Well, partially sighted items. Don�t we always know who they are?
Studios are sniffing around even before the book hits the shelves, and guess which young actress people consider perfect to play the hung-over heroine? If you didn�t guess Reese Witherspoon, you don�t know the show biz benefits of casting against type. The perky Witherspoon is rumored in real life to have a harder edge than her characters usually allow-although Witherspoon�s onscreen women are always very determined. It�s a great idea, but we�ll see how much the soon-to-be-single Oscar-winner wants to play with her image� The second choice is less startling: Lindsay Lohan. This might seem too close for comfort, but now that the brilliant 20-year-old star is taking public steps (her stint at the Wonderland Center) to get straight, acting out addiction and wild living might be therapeutic. Come on, who doesn�t want to see Lindsay onscreen with a drink in one hand and a man in the other? |
