Bo Derek's 1979 movie "
10" launched a hairstyle fad - beaded braids - and also launched inferiority complexes in millions of females. Who could measure up to her impossible perfection at the TOP of the men's rating scale for women? The
Blake Edwards comedy was a hit and it made Bo a star. Now it's being remade (yet another example of Hollywood running out of original ideas) but several leading men have turned DOWN the role originated by the late
Dudley Moore. (The plot is about a Hollywood songwriter in the throes of mid-life crisis, who goes on vacation in Mexico and becomes infatuated with his dentist's daughter who is honeymooning there.) Maybe they don't want to be associated with "mid-life crisis" - but
Hugh Grant and
Dennis Quaid both turned the role down. We hear
Jim Carrey has accepted and hope he can keep his face under control for this one. Now the search is on for a modern-day "10" female costar - we think it will be difficult to top Bo. Any suggestions?

Tara Reid-- fur shur!!!!
TARA REID??? You've got a GREAT sense of humour!! How about Jessica Alba? That's what I call a 10...although she has much to much class to take on THAT role...Tara would readily accept...what else does she have going on? Zippo....she also has zippo class, is a skank, a drunk, fake body parts and the brain of a door knob....PERECT I guess!
Jessica Simpson?
Jessica is a 10.....in the I.Q. department. She takes no-talent-dumbass celebrity to a whole new low.
JESSICA BIEL
Christy MacNIcol....she's a purrrrfect 12 1/2!!!!!!!
Jessica Alba or Biel are great suggestions...
Cameron Diaz.
Oh wait, that's The Mask.
Star Jones.
Hire coke snorting, herepes sheding PARIS HILTON!
This part has your name all over it Janet!
Or maybe Ginger too.
Perfect 10's in my book!
definitely a role for Nicole Ritchie. She look hot in a bikini!
Bo Derek didn't start a trend of wearing corn rowed hair.
The Dereks choose this style after seeing lots of young girls around LA wearing beaded, cornrowed hair.
The Dereks wanted a look for Bo that was the antithesis of the ultra fluffy, Jose Eber styled "Farrah".
They need to cast an unknown like they did with Bo Derek.Many of todays actresses are pure trash,all flash and no class....OYE VEY
Ashlee Simpson pre surgery
THESE PEOPLE ARE CRAZY...THINK
"SABRINA" NEED WE SAY MORE..
Jessica Alba has fake body parts too. I can't realy think of any actress in Hollywood who hasn't been altered to some degree.
check out www.awfulplasticsurgery.com and see for yourself!!
Kate Beckinsale!
Jim Carrey? You've got to be kidding!
Scarlett Johansson???
Katherine Igel (grey's Anatomy)
Carey is a weird pick I agree.
He can't stop his face from jumping right of his head and running away on him.
He can't stop it!
It's another life form.
Janet, that's funny that you criticize "Hollywood [for] running out of original ideas". Look at you, you keep giving us warmed over leftover gossip!
Get out there and get us some good stuff!
Jessica Biel or Anne Hathaway.
It has to be someone that has some meat on her. Jessica Biel could fill the role, Alba is too young. It could also be a Heidi Klum type. Are there any of those in Hollywood?
I think they should get an UNKNOWN... launch a career!
Mery Christmas Dave.
UNKNOWN ACTRESSS... DUH!
beyonce, or Fergie from black eyed peas
Oh, that gorgeous Vicky Secrets model, Adriana Lima would be perfect
DEFINITELY A BO LOOKALIKE LIKE CARMEN ELECTRA.
I'VE SEEN HER IN PERSON AND SHE IS TRULY A LOVELY GIRL.
OR JENNIFER LOPEZ.
THEY ARE BOTH GORGEOUS!
Barbara Walters
Or Rosie...cracked!
For an established babe, I think Carmen Elektra would be the right type.
I believe an "unknown" beauty would make this a more fun and interesting movie, and give a dream to come true for one of the real people.
Whever is chosen, Jenny better keep Jim OFF the @Viagra!
