In a world where anyone with a blog can get a book deal, why should one of this decade's most tenuous trend pieces be optioned for film? The Observer is reporting that rights to "The Man Date," Jennifer 8. Lee's shocking expose on buddy nights are on the verge of being acquired by an independent filmmaker. God give us strength; we know how this one is going to turn out.
We'd make some joke about how any jackass concept is now up for grabs in Hollywood, but, in a bit of breaking news, our recent posts on weighing the fall fashion issues have been picked up by Pixar for an animated feature starring the voices of Drew Barrymore as Jess Coen, Debra Messing as Scaley the Scale, and Steve Busecmi as Krucoff, a rodent mascot who won't stop commenting on the process.

I'm also hearing quite a buzz around "Twat: The Musical!" Jessica Alba's attached in the title role, with Kevin Costner as her seedy Hamptons seductor. Variety mentioned something about Dame Judi Dench as Brinkley, but that would just be ridiculous.
don't forget Chris Rock as TAN,
"that is WACK!"
Steve Buscemi is 5'9", according to IMDB. Not short enough for that who he is portraying.
I'd like to play Steve Busecmi's pet rock.
(Btw, loved that movie where he hooked up with Chloë Sevigny. So best.)
Drew isn't sufficently wee to pull off Coen - but then again, PSH won for Capote... someone get Sean Penn's people on the phone.
Christ, everyone knows Chris Parnell already agreed to portray Krucoff in the upcoming Graydon Carter bio-pic.
