Above: The pair are no longer talking to each other

GEORGE Clooney and his A-list best friend Brad Pitt have had a scathing argument and are refusing to talk to each other.
The handsome pair, who starred together in Ocean's 11, 12 and 13, are embroiled in a bitter feud over a film role.

George said: "We both badly want a particular role and neither is backing down. It's sort of become an intense competition between us now and it just keeps escalating."

Both George and Brad are keen to play the role of Henry Higgins in the upcoming remake of My Fair Lady.

But the pair have become so competitive that they are no longer talking.

George added: "For now we're both so angry we're not even in contact any more."

Let Brad play Freddy and let George play Karpathy. Problem solved. Now could we get someone great for Higgins to go with John Cleese as Doolittle?

I don't think either one should get the part.

Oh please. This cannot be true. Neither actor is stupid enough to think they could play Higgins.

Source?

This story about the fight is obviously stupid tabloid nonsense.

They shouldn't be remaking MFL in the first place.

Of the two, I'd pick Clooney. Not because he's better... just because he's... less worse. And I find him VERY easy on the eye. Gotta be a filthy lie though. ^_^

Oh, Dolly, you'll see it anyway.

IMO, if they're hell-bent on remaking MFL (which I think is a mistake), how about Hugh Jackman?

At least Hugh Grant would get the accent right, but he is no aesthete.

I listened to Cameron Mackintosh talk about the forthcoming film (albeit no commment re casting) on the radio a couple of weeks back, and I think it is going to be fine!

But whoever does get cast re the film in general, apart from maybe a nod to America, they will/should all be British. The only exception might be someone like Angela Lansbury, who was suggested ages ago might be Mrs Pearce.

Lansbury should play Mrs. Higgins to the Henry of Hugh Jackman. And I recommend Julie Andrews for Mrs. Pearce. No, seriously.

As for Eliza--who is playing Galinda this week?

I was just going to say what Jon said. Clooney is famous for his tongue-in-cheek remarks, it is so obvious that he is just poking fun at the tabloids (and those who buy into what they write).
Colin Firth is as perfect as it gets for Higgins.
