Kate Hudson strikes me as a better choice
She's got the precious factor, but she makes my teeth itch, though.
When RZ rolled out that explanation about writing, publishing, and becoming a celebrity due to a bestseller in about 3 weeks' time we all fell out laughing.
Thank God I took the whole thing for the absolute parody it was supposed to be because otherwise there might have been spluttering and cursing galore. I'm trying to think of what movie it was, a fairly recent one, where the lead female was an author and she was on this big book tour and I was just snorting my way through the whole thing, in terms of how it was described.
Steph, you should have seen Down with Love in the company I did: with 3 of my cousins that also work in the publishing industry. When RZ rolled out that explanation about writing, publishing, and becoming a celebrity due to a bestseller in about 3 weeks' time we all fell out laughing.
I think my comment was something like, "Not even Anne Rice manages that fast of a turnaround, and she doesn't use editors."

Something similar happened in Cheaper by the Dozen. Completely absurd shorthand, which usually doesn't bother me, but in that instance I growled.
K-Bug dragged me to see Twilight last night. That movie has been out for over a month and the theater was PACKED. PACKED!!! WTF?
I can see why they are going with a different director for the next movie. I mean, I know the raw material had its own issues, but man...the direction SUCKED.
Cheaper by the Dozen.
That was it!
::gropes Amy for the brain sharing::
Either Amy Adams or Emily Deschanel would be totally charming in the role, I think.
If you wanted a Doris Day type blonde, then either Reese Witherspoon or Elizabeth Banks.

I think they fall too far to the prim & prissy and crude, just-one-of-the-guys sides of the spectrum, respectively. You'd need someone who's a motivated go-getter, but neither prudish nor low-class.
I think I have to second Amy Adams, she might have just the sort of persona that would fit.
She wasn't the right age then, but Sarah Chalke would be a good choice if they were making it now.
