What is literally THE worst stunt casting possible?

My vote:
The Olsen twins in Side Show

That is hilarious, that mental image. Oh god...

I'm thinking casting "The Donald" as they say now, in anything, would be low.

How about Paris and Nicole (her sis, not Richie) as the Hilton sisters?.... they might even already be related!

Jessica Simpson as Hedda Gabler...

...However, if Ms. Simpson were to read Hedda Gabler and get it into her head that offing herself might be a good idea...

I'm not sure if I am alone on this, but one of the worst things I ever saw was Molly Ringwald in Cabaret. I honestly felt a little sorry for her. The Kit Kat girls were just so amazing that she was so disappointing. She really looked like she was working . . . HARD. Trust me, it was somewhat painful. John Stamos was an amazing Emcee though . . . the direction of that show was amazing to begin with, but he was just so committed to the role that it blew me away . . .

If Tim Burton makes the Sweeney Todd movie and casts Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham-Carter.

I love Tim, i love Johnny, i love their loyalty to each other, but that would just kill me inside.
