But isn't she supposed to be good at dancing by the end?

Maybe they'll throw that watermelon at her.

Let's not get too negative she could surprise us. Plus for all we know by the time this gets to theaters if it ever does, she may not even be invovled anymore.

She screen tested but was not officially cast.

[Jordan Catalano]

Did she break the screen?

Lea Michele couldn't surprise an... easily-surprised... thing.

Is it a movie remake of the musical version? Because it would be a wasteful and very weird casting job if she wasn't singing throughout.

No, it's a completely unnecessary remake of the film.

Do people not like her just because she's on Glee? Hardly seems fair but..

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 6/11/12 at 2:55pm

No, she's a talent free top notch beeyotch.

Does Baby actually sing in the stage version, anyway?

[Kad]

Posted: 6/11/12 at 3:00pm

She is actually an extremely unpleasant person. She could be the most talented person of her generation and I would still despise her for the way she has treated people I know.


She's not going to have many friends on the way down, based on how she's treated people on the way up.

But also, she can't act. At all.

this movie doesn't need to be re-made, nor does Lea Michele need to get anywhere near this if it does happen.

[Jordan Catalano]

Kad, we share exactly the same view

If she's trying to mimic La Barbra, then appearing in parts that she's too old for is the next step.

I can't wait till I can write my best selling book, THE NO TALENT OX WHO BECAME A STAR: The Lea Michele Story.

I have one word for this: WHY?

That's all. A simple, why. This is not good news on any front.

Thank God.

I actually think this would be the perfect vehicle for her - trash that would likely flop.
