Still better than Minka Kelly.
See Lifetime, HBO chooses REAL ACTORS for their movies.
Bill Murray for Oscar!
They really look like each other a lot, but I have serious doubts about Ashton's acting talent.
Don't screw up, or the angels will kill you.
I think she will be better than Reese Witherspoon. Too bad it's only a TV movie.
Can't wait!
The Butler sounds so exciting. So many actors playing so many important people.
AMAZING!
I want to see the pictures first, but I think Scarlett can do this .
I am still in shock that she will portrait this legend, but the movie is sure gonna bring a lot of rating for Lifetime.
Hope she won't screw up.
Oh my god, who the fuck gave her that role, she's hot but she looks nothing like her
I am a huge huge fan of both Jewel and June Carter! Honestly, to my ears, both of these ladies have a SWEET HEAVENLY ANGELIC VOICE which is such a comfort and consolation to listen to especially before going to bed or if you have some kind of constant troubles in life! Jewel is the most beautiful girl inside and out (Should be noted as the MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL because she is!) So is the gentle yet strong beautiful June Carter! Jewel a pure country rooted who loves the real nature of the sweet country side. To have JEWEL to play June Carter Cash is the BEST and RIGHT choice that ever happened!!! I already looking forward so much into this. Jewel and June, the most inspiring women in my LIfe! ~♥~
