Diva Knows Best

Diva Knows Best is equal parts sarcastic wit, mid-west sensibility, media savvy, and pop culture wonder. There’s a strong voice of someone who is fascinated by all things celebrity but can see through the slick manufactured façade to discover valuable life lessons.

Casting Call

I ran across a cute bit this morning on one of the radio stations where they were casting the Anna Nicole Smith movie. You know this is right up my alley. I love playing mini movie mogul by engaging in dream casting. So, I had to take it a step further. I cast the Hollywood blockbuster version, Lifetime movie and the independent film.

Here are my casting choices:


Hollywood Blockbuster

Angelina Jolie as Anna Nicole Smith

She could tap into her former angst and madness to channel this character. We would just need to work on getting the right shade of blonde. I was thinking Hilary Swank because of her enormous rack but I think she’s too toothy and it would be difficult to transform her into a natural looking blonde.

Brad Pitt as Larry Birkhead

I just thought it would be fun to have them in this movie together. It would be the ultimate box office feat. Jude Law could also work.

Ed Norton as Howard K. Stern

He can play creepy stalker attorney quite well.

Kathy Bates as Virgie Arthur

I could see her as the ultimate trailer park mom to a Playmate.


Lifetime

Denise Richards as Anna Nicole Smith

She’s not my favorite but she could work this role on this level.

Simon Baker as Larry Birkhead

Gorgeous and we can afford him on our TV budget.

Adrian Pasdar as Howard K. Stern

Diabolical on Heroes and perfect for this character.

Judith Light as Virgie Arthur

Plays a great lush on Ugly Betty.


Independent

Heather Graham as Anna Nicole Smith
Greg Kinnear as Larry Birkhead
Paul Giamatti as Howard K. Stern
Patricia Clarkson as Virgie Arthur

Who would you cast?

I would cast Charlize Theron as ANS;she's very good at doing women on the verge of a breakdown roles. Can't think of who would be best for the guys but I do agree that Kathy Bates would be excellant as Anna's mom. Maybe even Roseanne,if it's a TV movie,since she's doing the blonde thing now.

Another casting question:who should play Britney Spears,if someone decides to put her crash-and-burn tale onscreen? Brittany Murphy or Jessica Alba fit the bill nicely,while Jamie Kennedy could be K-Fed:)

Brittany Murphy is the perfect Britney Spears. Let's shake things up and have Justin Timberlake play K-Fed.
