This Would Explain The Constantly Stoned Look


I've noticed over the past few weeks that Katharine McPhee has had a glazed look in her eyes that I first attributed to the fact that perhaps she was self-medicating because she realized that marriage is forever, and her new husband really didn't have a job. Now though, I think the look might be some type of perverse method acting. Seems that Katharine really, really, pretty please with sugar on it wants to star as Janis Joplin in a new film about her life.

Umm. Katharine. I like you. But, even as a friend I would have to say that Janis was Janis and you ain't Janis. Just because you have the same color hair, doesn't mean you can play Janis. Just because someone gave you a speaking part in an Anna Faris film means that you are an actress. Remember, I think they put Rumer Willis in that thing also. OK, names were what they were after. Not acting skills.

Janis lived a lot of life into her years, and you could see it in her eyes and expressions and hear it when she sang. You haven't done anything in your life that comes close. Yes, you sing, but Janis was much more than just singing, and you just can't pull it off.

I'm not sure quite honestly who could pull it off. I'm probably going to hate myself for saying this later, but if you could keep her coherent long enough I think Courtney Love would be a good choice. Zooey D. was a good choice also, but that film is on hold and so Zooey probably won't be attached when they get around to trying to revive that version. Katharine, come back after your third marriage, and fourth trip to rehab. Come back when you get off the princess ride and when you start riding a Harley and then you still wouldn't be good enough for Janis, but maybe they will throw you a bone and let you play Grace Slick.
