Vanessa Hudgens to play Janis Joplin in Biopic
And in other news, hell froze over today while a swarm of flying pigs flew through Los Angeles.
In an interview with MTV, Vanessa Hudgens mentioned that she would like to play Janis Joplin because she's just so amazing (Joplin, not Hudgens).
I'm not trying to hate, but let's be real, Janis would be rolling in her grave if she knew.
At least 'Nessa knows she looks nothing like Janis... so thankfully, her chances of ever getting that role are slim to none. But, just for good measure, let's see a side-by-side.


Yep. Nothing alike.
Plus, isn't Janis Disney unapproved? I mean, the woman was a crazy drug addict from Beaumont, Texas (shout-out to my family, hi guys!). Although, 'Nessa's most recent batch of nudie pics are also not mouse-friendly (seriously, girl, keep it to yourself). You've had your naughty pictures exposed via internet twice now. Remember, no clothes, no camera. You'd just be tempting fate otherwise.
Also, your voice is too smooth. Have you even heard Janis Joplin? For that matter, can you name one of her songs other than "Piece of My Heart?" Can you name the band she was in?

But since I'm picking on her, I might as well pick on a few other people. MTV also reports that Pink, Zooey Deschanel, and Renee Zellweger are in talks for separate Joplin biopics.
I would die if Pink got the role. Seriously, no. I'm begging you, Hollywood, please don't.
And as much as I love Zooey (because who can resist those blue eyes) I'm not sure she's got it in her to play Joplin.
I'm also on the fence with Zellweger, yet it's easier to imagine her as Joplin than any of the aforementioned ladies.
Here's to waiting to find the perfect actress (yes, actress, not musician) for the part.

haha, it was an offhand comment in an MTV interview. I'm 99% sure that we'll never see her as Janis Joplin
