Keira Knightley Gutted By Missing ‘My Fair Lady’ Role

Pirates of the Caribbean star Keira Knightley is reportedly “gutted” at missing out on the lead role in a movie adaptation of My Fair Lady . According to the Sunday Mirror , Knightley, 25, has reportedly been working hard with singing lessons in a bid to get the role but lost out to An Education star Carey Mulligan , 24. “Keira wanted to play the role. She’s been linked to the production for nearly four years. She’s always loved Audrey Hepburn, who starred in the original movie, and had spent the last year working her backside off with private singing lessons. She knew she didn’t have a huge voice but she was willing to put the effort in for the role. It would have been a role of a lifetime for Keira, and she’s gutted that it hasn’t worked out.” As disappointed as Keira is, we think Carey is a much better choice.

Fans In Uproar Over Angelina Jolie’s Upcoming Role

Angelina Jolie is in Paris, France filming The Tourist but there is already an uproar about a project she has not even started filming. Fans of best selling author Patricia Cornwell are in an uproar that Jolie has been chosen to play Kay Scarpetta. Cornwell wrote the novel the film will be based on and her main character is a middle-aged woman with short blonde hair and fans fear that The Changeling actress is too sexy and too glamorous for the role. Jodie Foster was originally offered the role but turned it down and Cornwell is excited to have Jolie on board. So is this much ado about nothing or should fans of the crime novels be worried?

Lauren Conrad Says L.A. Candy Is ‘Three Books, One Movie’

‘It’s one story being told over the three [books], so I think it’s one overall story,’ she says of plans to make a single movie out of the book trilogy. By Jocelyn Vena Lauren Conrad Photo: MTV News Lauren Conrad and her team — including the same producers behind the blockbuster “Twilight” franchise — are hard at work trying to make sure they get the film adaptation of her “L.A. Candy” book trilogy just right. However, Conrad said that each book will not get its own accompanying film. “Actually, the movie is meant to be based on the story that’s told over the three books that I’m writing — three books, one movie,” she told MTV News while promoting her latest tome, “Sweet Little Lies.” “It’s a trilogy. It’s one story being told over the three, so I think it’s one overall story.” Conrad is still focused on the big-screen story line of fictional reality star Jane Roberts and admits that she has yet to attach any A-list actors to the role. “No, we’re still working with writers,” she said about casting decisions. “And in the early stages.” Late last year, Conrad joked to MTV News that she’d like to see her former “Hills” castmember Lo Bosworth tackle the role of Jane , based on some of Conrad’s own real-life experiences as a reality-TV star. “I have to do research. We’ll see,” she said. “I would like Lo Bosworth. Lo has taken a couple of acting classes in her life. “No [I don’t know who should be in it],” Conrad added. “[That’s] the question I do not have an answer for. I have no idea! I feel like I’m going to shoot for someone crazy amazing and then they’re going to be like, ‘Ugh, yeah, I’ll do your movie.’ ” Who would you like to see star in “L.A. Candy”?
