CELEB: Spears Bypassed for Joplin Role

If you had hoped to see Britney Spears belt out “Piece of My Heart,” you’re out of luck. The long-awaited film biography of Janis Joplin will not star the former pop princess.

Producers passed on Spears for the role because her new pregnancy will interfere with filming, pissing off her reps at the William Morris Agency. The agency searched high and low for any role for Spears, blissfully unaware that the Spermantor, Kevin Federline, had struck again.

Lindsay Lohan received an offer to star in the film, but she turned it down. Kate Hudson received honors as the producer’s third choice.

Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan as Janis?!?! Who are the fucktards responsible for such sacrilege???

As a last resort, producers decided to hire an actress.

I'm not a fan of Kate Hudson...at all...but that's got to be a kick in the groin:
"Yeah...we couldn't get Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan...but we think you're really special!"

At first glance, I thought this thread was about Scott Joplin

Yeah, Spears as Joplin. Yet more proof that apocolypse is near.

i thought pink was gonna do this but dropped out very recently.

Wow, this is the best thing Kevin Federline has ever done, ever.

Thanks K-Fed!

Who can ever milk your soul like Janis? The answer, no one!

Ew dude. What the hell is wrong with filmmakers these days?!

Hahahaha. If this starred either of those bubblegum fucktards I would have laughed once it burned to the ground.

Shit...that actually explains K-Fed.
He's a bio-engineered greasy weasel designed expressly to shield the public from Britney Spears "talent" by keeping her perpetually pregnant until she dissolves at age 35.

All three of those are terrible choices. Hudson might be able to pull it off, but it's still a bit of a reach.

imdb is
still listing pink in the lead.

I hear Dice Clay wants to play Elton John, too.

Spears as Janis?????!!!!!!!!!

Janis may have been a drunkie junkie but she had soul! And talent.

*looks for nearest likely vomit receptacle*

fo sho !

Have you forgotten about Po Po Zow!!

I wonder what KFed would say to something like this...

ITS PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME, PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME

You know, I usually don't like to be a snob about this stuff but...

wow, Britney Spears as Janis. I'd be a better Janis than her...and that's sad.

I heard Renee Zellweger for Piece of My Heart and Pink for Gospel According to Janis
