ok see that picture below of legendary rock queen janis joplin? see how she is laughing - you know what she is laughing about? the fact that britney spears wants to play her in the cinematic biopic to be called the gospel according to janis OH MY WORD - are you fucking kidding me??? janis may be laughing in that picture but she just spun around in her grave a few times...god bless her soul!

what a bad ass casting idea...i do love britney but she cannot play janis - this is complete pop blasphemy! apparently lindsay lohan and pink are also vying for the role - if anything i would say pink should play joplin since she is way more rocky than lohan & spears put together (and then some...) but even pink is kind of a poor choice...at this point they should just find some kick-ass unknown to do justice to ms. joplin on the big screen! oh my word when i heard about all this - i literally RAN to popbytes to post this - sheer insanity - i am so over & out until tomorrow...xxoo!

BRITNEY SPEARS IS NO JANIS JOPLIN

Joss Stone should play Janis - she would be perfect!

You know who would be great....JOSS STONE! She would rock I bet!

I think it should be Joss Stone. None of the others would do Janis justice. She would be PERFECT!

Love the blog. I've been reading you for quite a while. Glad to see that others have found my guilty pleasure too.

no joke this story kept me up last nite. i'm not that big a Janis Joplin fan, but I cant imagine a worse casting than britney in that role. forget everything else, that voice, brit brit's voice could never sing a janis song. BUT PINK, PERFECTION, PLEASE JUST GIVE HER THE ROLE ALREADY! What does she have to do, sleep with Melissa Etheridge?

Britney as Janis, come on, did children vote for this or what? Joss Stone has the voice and the look, she would be perfect.

oh my god! i was just thinking joss stone too,especially that picture that's up on this post, its uncanny.

What they should NOT do is pick some talentless pop singer just so their film about Janis Joplin (who is one of my idols) gets that much more media attention. There are plenty of actresses who can actually act who would do Janis far more justice than Pink, Joss Stone, Britney Spears, or Lindsey Lohan. Give the lady some fucking respect.

NIKKA COSTA WOULD BE AMAZING

I know that britney isn't getting the role so I'm not worried

That chick Deanna from Rockstar INXS would be good, she sounds like Janis and could look like her with the right makeup.

Who???

Nikka Costa all the way!!!

For God sake!!! The simple idea of a plastic womam like Spears, made of medea's pure image, empty of sentiment playing Janis, IT'S A SICK IDEA! Spears thinks that she could play Pearl because SHE IS A DUMB BLOCKHEAD!!!
