And from the "Now I've Heard Everything File"...
Paris Hilton to play Mother Teresa??

http://www.imdb.com/news/wenn/2006-02-16/

<SNIP>Socialite Paris Hilton has reportedly been asked to play celebrated humanitarian Mother Teresa in a movie biopic. Indian director T. Rajeevnath has contacted the hotel heiress about taking the lead role in his new film, which will chronicle the late nun's life. He tells MTV.co.uk, "My agents in California have contacted Paris Hilton. Although there are several actresses willing to play the role of Mother Teresa, the most widely respected and loved person, the history of the actress who is finally chosen for the role would have to be analyzed thoroughly before she is chosen."

This week just gets better and better... Cheney gets away with shooting someone and declassifying the identities of CIA agents (because he says so), and now we have a pampered Hotel Heiress getting the role of Mother Teresa. Giving Gucci couture to Goodwill does not a saint make... what's next?? Madonna playing the Virgin Mary?? :eyes:

2. i think madonna already played the virgin mary actually
jeez that would be the 80s wouldn't it, didn't she have that like a virgin thing and then the oral sex w. the priest song and all that creepy crap?

this director must be the only man on earth who hasn't yet seen the paris hilton sex tape, an oversight which i'm sure will be rectified shortly by some concerned friend

7. Best movie ever!
It's a national disgrace that Alan Rickman didn't win an Oscar for his role as Metatron in that movie!

6. Keanu Reeves would be far more logical to play Mother Teresa...
because he has more "acting" experience. His "acting" is far more honed as a craft than Paris Hilton's.

11. Try "Monica Bellucci" of Mel Gibson's "Passion of the Christ"
Even with Google Images "SafeSearch" on, don't do it at work.

14. My friend Mathew actually called me this morning to tell me this--he was
disgusted and so am I. Refusing to pose for nudey mags does not a saint make.
