Slog - Comments on Poll: Who Will Play Anna Nicole in the Made-for-TV Movie? http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/02/poll_who_will_play_anna_nicole_in_the_ma_1 Not to be insensitive, but Anna Nicole could barely play herself for real in her real-life reality television show. How will they (they!) ever find an actress of the requisite physical and histrionic stature to portray her accurately? Ari Spool and I have debated, and we've narrowed it down to these five. If you care at all (which you should, obviously), you may vote just below the photos: Jessica Simpson, heiress of all vapidity Catherine Keener, who is charming, creepy, and particularly good at looking strung-out Amanda Lepore, America's #1 transsexual performer who doesn't mind giving the public pictorial proof...

The End.

My inability to vote for Courtney Love pains me. The director should strive for total realism by having her completely zonked on pills during Anna's pill-zonked scenes (i.e., all of them but two or three). She should duplicate the weight yo-yo too, and preferably actually die at the end.

Then, later in my life, a young man who looks like Luca here will prey on me in my feeble state and marry me just to get my riches. He will then become a star of the papparazi when my children (they will be named Moonchild and Fairuza) sue him for indecent marriage after I die. He will marry his own gold-digging lawyer after his son dies in Nepal, where he went to see his own new daughter born. He will die in a Wolfgang Puck restaurant.

This is obviously, just a rough plan. But I am a triple threat (writing, acting, and stripping), so I am open to an acting role.

like anna nicole, paris is famous for absolutely nothing and her inability to barely string together a sentence makes her a shoe-in.
