Liza Minnelli is being difficult. While she admits she is a fan of Anne Hathaway, the more she thinks about it the less Liza likes the idea of Anne being cast to play her mother Judy Garland. Liza thinks Anne is just NOT right for the part. Producer Harvey Weinstein insists that Anne is the ONLY actress capable of handling the part. Liza would prefer to see a not-so-famous, unknown actress play her mother. She thinks it would feel more realistic. And we have to agree. So far Liza has resisted meeting with Anne to discuss the movie. (Actually, Anne looks more like Liza that Judy.)

Liza is so yesterday. Please take your seat in the rows of the past and allow today’s talent to perform the work required to portray Judy Garland. Anne Hathaway is actually a great choice. She naturally resembles Liza’s mother and can be made up to look just like Judy Garland, and Anne is a good actress. Control freaks always complicate things where there is nothing complicated.
Tammy Blanchard as the younger Judy and Judy Davis as the older were amazing in Me and My Shadows……
why can’t hollywood leave well enough alone??
Just find an old drag kween in WEHO. Slap some war paint on her, put her in a gingham dress and shazaam, it’s Judy.
Have to agree that if they need to do a movie Anne would be a great choice to play Judy. Liza take a pill and chill.
Probably will end up another Lindsay Lohan as Elizabeth Taylor movie.
Strom if LL wasn’t so effed up she would (could) have done a decent job portraying La Liz.
Ann on the other hand appears to be a stable gal and she is a fine actress, she’ll do a fabulous job emulating our early America’s sweet heart JG <3
Lola said it – Nothing to add to that.
Janet, I hate that your age is showing with the snark and also how you twist the knife whenever you post about young women. You are not pro-woman, and neither are you a well-wisher.
Could be, on the other hand nippy may be a little much pro women, in the same way that Whitney Houston was!
…….let’s give it a shot.
No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IDIOT’S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What about that tiny girl on Glee? I forget her name. She is tiny, has the same type face, and can belt out a tune like Judy (or Liza ftm).
I agree with Liza. An unknown should play Judy Garland.
If Anne is really a switch hitter it might help her win the part!
Anne is absolutely perfect.
She’s got the lips of The Joker!
Liza is right on and good for her for setting the bar high. AH has a great PR team. She is not right for this part and is no great talent. As the poster above said, Judy Davis did an amazing job, it will be hard to top.
bio pics can be a drag because of the insistence the actor portraying the character look exactly like the person and also because the story told tends to skip around the bad portions of the character’s life.
zoe saldana is running into a similar problem with the nina simone bio pic, she looks nothing like nina simone and its already stirring controversy.
but a good story is a good story and
a good actor is a good actor, regardless of the performer’s resemblance to the person.
people really dislike anne hathway and im not sure why.
I like Anne Hathaway, but unless she lip syncs Judy’s songs, her singing voice is nowhere NEAR Judy’s. In fact, after reading about people raving about Anne’s singing, when I heard her sing, I was aghast at what everybody was raving about. She doesn’t have a strong voice AT ALL, and Judy most certainly did. I agree, get someone with a VOICE to play Judy.
The truth is no one cares about Nina Simone or Joan Jett and few except elderly know or care about Judy Garland. None except old lezzies care about Liza.
The truth is, no one cares about Strom’s tired routine, The pathetic attempts to provoke, …. yawn
It’s not about posters!
Strom, I wish you really believed it’s not about the posters. You comment SO damn much, like an attention starved know-it-all, always passing judgement, needing to get in the last word, having the final say. Don’t you have a life? I rarely participate here and would like to, but not as long as you think you’re head bitch in charge.
Ha ha Not today and maybe tomorrow and probably yesterday….lots of multiple names around. No one preventing you from your comments, unless its JC! Of course no comment on the thread.
If Anne is really a switch hitter it might help her win the part!
Strom doesn’t have a life. No life. No life at all. None. Zilch. Nada. Zero. Nothing.
Poor little Gone, it cant comment on a thread!
Of course you wouldn’t give a damn as long as you have a monitor screen to hide behind.
Anne must be the most perfectly groomed woman on planet Earth.
To NotToday: Strom isn’t ambulatory, doesn’t have a job, has no teeth, his dick doesn’t work, hasn’t had sex with anyone but himself, (the rubber doll rejected him) has multiple personalities, and farts into couch cushions. Is that pathetic or what?
Gone and Not Today are part of the multiple moniker hate crew.
The truth is no one cares about Nina Simone or Joan Jett and few except elderly know or care about Judy Garland. None except old lezzies care about Liza.
Anne needs to gain some weights but she ‘s a nice idea to act Judy Garland or Liza Minelli ;P
Not really – The truth is no one cares about Nina Simone or Joan Jett and few except elderly know or care about Judy Garland.
None except old lezzies care about Liza.
a far greater, and searingly obvious truth is that you are pathetically obsessed with OTHER PEOPLES sex lives Strom, why ?
Poor Alex,,,,worries so much about Strom

Word is that major lesbo Liza Minnelli is back in rehab.
Seems that old lesbo’s always end up extremely gnarly and drug or booze dependent.
