I'm all for giving people second chances if they've learned from their mistakes, but this just seems too soon after the problems she's had. I hope she can keep it together.

First you say that Fantasia is the new Celie, then you say Vanessa Williams is the new Celie, then you say that Little Miss Sunshine is going to be a musical, now you say that a Miss USA contestant who can't sing, or act, or dance, is going to be in a musical with a lot of singing, acting, and dancing??? Guys, this has gone far enough!! Now CUT IT OUT!!!

why am I not even a little surprised by this news...?

Here's hoping. From Bebe to Tara...good luck, sweetheart

Oh no! Not another chance for Donald Trump to do some grandstanding. Shouldn't she still be doing beauty queen duties (whatever they are) in the spring?

ironically, I heard a pretty credible rumor that last year, Anna was approached to be in Chicago. They would wait for her to lose the baby weight and then shock everyone by starring in Chicago (you know they would have sold so many seats to see the trainwreck). I think the stars knew better and did not make it happen.

I'm in shock.
Let's hope she has what it takes

I would love to pick the brain of the dance captain who trains all these people. They must be kicking themselves. The fact that they probably went to school and trained for this and then these people just waltz in and take over.

I know.
I bet there just like "I guess a drunken beauty queen can play the role better than me, a TRAINED professional."

I think Rent would be more appropriate.

Being a slutty coke junkie is more up Tara's alley. I guess they aren't type casting her, huh?

I don't care what she did or didn't do, I'm just disappointed that we're now putting people in Chicago that weren't famous at any point of their careers. Robin Givens or Huey Lewis may not be the big names now that they were in the past, but Conner is more famous for substance abuse and partying than anything else.

Come, come now. Vanessa Williams was Miss America and she played the Witch didn't she? Are we saying that Miss USA is less talented than Miss America?

This is just cheap. There many aspirin actress's who would give the world for this role. Instead they hire some cheap, tabloid star for the role. Ironic isn't it.

Actually, yes, pemberlee. We can say that.

Miss America has a talent portion of the competition. Miss USA does not. Plus, Vanessa Williams did have a few other projects under her belt before "Into the Woods."

Vanessa Williams had done Kiss of the Spider Woman years early. I believe she got very good notices, too.

You cannot compare the two. One has genuine talent the other we'll just have to wait and see.

She won't make it past the first scene.
Rosie will be there and scream from the audience: TRUMP CAN'T SAVE YOU NOW!
