Allison will be playing Amanda Bynes' mom.
AWESOME! Allison Janney was great in the West Wing, and I bet she will be awesome in this movie. Kudos to the casting people.

YUSSSS. I love Allison Janney and I want to be her when I grow up. I've only ever heard her sing on The West Wing (her version of "I'm Too Sexy" never fails to crack me up) but that was always just for fun. This is awesome.
My favorite quote from Allison was when the West Wing started airing on TBS during their 'We Know Drama' campaign.
"Drama is...not enough Donuts on the craft srevice table."
love her!
I'm assuming that she will not play the other parts that the actress in the Musical does, right?
Most likely she will not play the other charatcers.
If what we hear is right... Big Doll House has been cut, so there probably wont be a Prison Matron.
I HOPE the dodge ball sequence is still in, so hopefully we have a gym teacher.
Awesome news! My housemates hates Hairspray but loooooves Allison Janney, so I'm going to have fun with this for a while.
Kathy Griffin NEEDS to be in this movie.

This is awesome! She is the perfect person for this role. I love Allison Janney.
i agree with u newies. i think kathy would be great. but i'd love to jackie hoffman as the gym teacher
Griffin could do a cameo as the Gym teacher. She's not my favorite ACTRESS, but a hilarious comedienne.
