Renée Zellweger IS...Janis Joplin?
I seriously don't know what goes through Hollywood execs heads...
tvguide.com
Renée Zellweger has signed on to star in and produce Piece of My Heart, a big-screen biopic on late rocker Janis Joplin. Filming is expected to get underway in early 2004 after Zellweger wraps the sequel to Bridget Jones's Diary.

Guess she'll have an excuse to keep up with the 20 doughnuts per day diet a bit longer.

I guess being a producer has its benefits..?

Crap. Hollywood strikes again.
Mellissa Etheridge wouldve made an interesting janis, had she done this movie years ago when she wanted to.
Keep up those doughnuts, renee. And after you're done with the films, still keep it up.

Renee's on a powerdiet to raise her weight from 55lbs to 95lbs [for the sequel to Bridget Jones' Diary] by eating doughnuts.

Joplin is my absolute favorite female singer, so I'm moderately interested in this, though it does smell like a vanity project for Zellweger. Maybe if Cameron Crowe was directing.
