In news that's given the editorial staff of Us magazine huge boners, Lindsay Lohan is rumored to be in talks to portray Paris Hilton in a movie about her life, with Britney Spears supplying the music! Besides the obvious issue--that Paris Hilton hasn't done anything in her life worth telling--I don't see why Paris wouldn't be playing herself. In case you missed The Hillz or National Lampoon's Pledge This!, Ms. Hilton is fully capable of delivering riveting performances, and has in-essence been playing herself for years, being that she is a completely disingenuous fraud.
So is casting a coked-up party girl as a coked-up party girl the best casting ever or a huge cop-out? Would you feel differently if they were casting one freakish, alien-worshiping closet homosexual as another (John Travolta playing Tom Cruise, or vise versa)?
