DEMS THROW PARTY OF THE YEAR; GOP NOT INVITED "Celebrities may be scarce at the Republican convention come September, but the Democrats have so many clamoring to get into their convention in Denver the week before, it's like the Vanity Fair Oscar party. George Clooney, Madonna, Kanye West, Scarlett Johansson, Susan Sarandon, Spike Lee, Quentin Tarantino and Matt Damon are just a few of the stars who want to be there … The Republicans have even engaged top William Morris agent Jeffrey Barry to try to wrangle country western stars to trek to the Twin Cities, a political source tells us. He's garnered 'Redneck Woman' singer Gretchen Wilson, the source adds, but Barry wouldn't answer questions about whether he's rounded up more."
Britney Spears is rapidly attempting to get her career back on track, what with the promise of a new album and her recent stints on How I Met Your Mother — but news that Quentin Tarantino has cast her as a lesbian killer in his next film, a remake of 1965's Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, is a bit of a surprise. Brit's potential role is that of stripper Varla, who murders a man with her bare hands and then takes his girlfriend hostage. Oh, and there's sex scenes with another female. Of course.
Quentin reportedly thinks "Britney will be brilliant," which would perhaps be the slightest bit believable if Crossroads hadn't already exposed the pop star's lack of acting chops. For those who need a reminder and want to watch scenes from the worst movie ever, click through.
