Britney + Tarantino = What the Fuh?


Quentin Tarantino
has his heart set on casting Britney Spears as killer lesbian stripper Varla in his remake of the Russ Meyer boobstravaganza Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! "Quentin is convinced Britney will be brilliant. She’s delighted. She thinks it could turn her career around," a source said. "It is perfect Tarantino material. He wanted to get Britney first. She’s playing the most important character."

This is not a shocking development given Tarantino's history of questionable casting decisions. Bridget Fonda? John Travolta? Pretty much everyone in Death Proof? Of course it's just a stunt...and it's not even an original stunt (maybe Tarantino doesn't watch a lot of sitcoms). Lindsay would be much better; she's good at funny flirtatiousness. What can Britney do besides prance around shaking her flabby stuff? Maybe that's why Tarantino wants her...he's staying true to the vision of Russ Meyer. It seems like a bad idea to me at any rate.
