Sigourney Weaver as... Gypsy Rose Lee???

Quote
Clint Eastwood will direct Angelina Jolie in The Changeling.
 Jolie will play a woman whose son is abducted but retrieved; she suspects, however, that the returned child is not her kid. The woman must then confront corruption in the LAPD. Story is based on true events in 1920s Los Angeles.

Sigourney Weaver will be stripper Gypsy Rose Lee. Weaver will exec produce along with Dreamgirls' Laurence Mark.

I think maybe someone meant "humility" but I'm still trying to figure out the "zaftig" part. She has rubenesque humility?!?

I actually think Woody meant "humidity" as in moistness, though it's not a word you hear used in that context very often.  But then, are zaftig women more moist?

Just came from seeing the Chris Rock movie, I Think I Love My Wife.  VERY funny, and def better than the reviews have indicated.  You married folks will especially like it, I'd wager.    Great throwaway gag: the banking firm Rock's character works for is called Pupkin and Langford.

FYI, comedians LOVE King of Comedy. So it makes sense that Rock and Louie C.K., who co-wrote I Think I Love My Wife, would make the reference.  Louie C.K. is the man responsible for one of the princess's fave comedies, Pootie Tang.

There was an item yesterday on hollywood-elsewhere.com that Jennifer Hudson has signed on to her first post-Dreamgirls film role, a non-singing (apparently) part in Winged Creatures, a Crash-like ensemble drama with Forest Whitaker among others.

I posted a comment that someone needs to get her into an Aretha biopic -- I had that thought about 10 minutes into Dreamgirls. (Of course, I also think Latifah should play Pearl Bailey and nobody's listening to me.)

Anyway, someone followed my post with this:

Quote
Jennifer has "almost" signed on to the Aretha bio...Aretha is auditioning girlz for the touring play based on her bio and has stated publicly many times she wants Jennifer to play her from 25-to-40 y.o. As soon as the play is on the road, which should be this year, afterward is the movie. But you know how that  works... negotiations... scriptwriting... and Ms. Franklin herself who will be totally in charge & in control, no telling how long that will take.

and while we're talking Oscar follow-ups...

"Helen Mirren will star in National Treasure 2, already filming in DC. Mirren will play Nic Cage's mother, Emily Gates, and will help link Gates to his family's connection to John Wilkes Booth and the mysterious knights of the Gold Circle. Ed Harris will play the bad guy, apparently. Also in the film, Diane Kruger, Justin Bartha and Harvey Keitel, all from the first film. Pic will be released on December 17th."

what a great film!! more people should love pootie tang.

here are my recent recommendations:

goodbye, america - the al lewis um...documentary, i guess. terribly moving. what an amazing life!!! what an amazing man! power to the people. from the people.

tristram shandy: a cock and bull story - probably the most intelligent film i've seen since my dinner with andre. only much, much funnier. outstanding!!! clever!!! 10/10!!

notes on a scandal - deliciously creepy film. attention to detail makes it work. and the dench's and bill nighy's acting, of course.
