It looks like Paramount Pictures bought a “pitch from Faris, Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith.” The plan is for the film to be produced by Happy Madison productions.

The project looks at two sisters who are on the hunt for a husband. McCullah Lutz and Smith are currently penning the screenplay and they will executive produce the film with Faris.

Also, Columbia picked up 20 Times a Lady for Faris to star in. The film is written by Jennifer Crittenden and Gabrielle Allan. It is based on the book by Karyn Bosnak.

20 Times a Lady features Faris searching for Mr. Right.

The memoir, Through The Storm, chronicled the “Toxic” singer’s downfall, and her descent into drink and drugs, which culminated in her very public breakdown. It also featured details of Britney’s relationships with Justin Timberlake and ex-husband Kevin Federline.

Now several resources report that Lynne is courting movie studios. A source claims, ‘She’s pitching the book around to studios. She even says she wants Julia Roberts to play her. It’s insane!’

And who will play the lead? Rumours are circulating that actress Anna Faris has been approached to take on the role of Britney.

The explosive memoir controversially detailed intimate access of the singer’s life, with Mrs Spears revealing that her daughter began drinking at 13, lost her virginity at 14 and was taking drugs by her 15th birthday.

• Anna is no longer involved in the Linda Lovelace biopic Inferno, after she decided she wasn’t ready for such a dark and heavy role.
• It’s been officially confirmed that Anna is to have a voice-role in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs!
• Miss Faris is (finally!) hosting Saturday Night Live tomorrow, with musical guest Duffy. Be sure to tune in to NBC to catch Anna in many funny sketches.

While The House Bunny came in at only 42% fresh at RottenTomatoes, Faris got good reviews, and despite the low score, it ties Death Race as the best reviewed opener of the weekend. This is great news for both Anna and The House Bunny! Below follows some tidbits from various reviews.

Not only is Anna Faris one of the more brightly gifted comediennes working today, she’s some sort of miracle worker. How else can one explain the ability to sit through something that emerged from Fred Wolf and not have the urge to run screaming from the theater? That Anna Faris is amazing.

The House Bunny repairs some of Wolf’s damaged reputation, but that’s only because Anna Faris is there to bail out his pedestrian moviemaking skills.

Faris is such a wide-eyed wonder of giggles that it seems unfair to watch as she’s paired up with movies that don’t fully comprehend what to do with her. The House Bunny isn’t her first starring role, but it represents a critical step to longstanding fame, and she aces the character like a total champ. Clad in little more than high heels and a smile, it’s an atypical role for the actress, now asked to balance out her natural bubbles with a candied sexuality, to better match the platinum-blonde build of the aspiring Playboy starlet.

Faris is rarity in the industry: a legitimately hilarious performer with a virtuoso sense of timing and screwball articulation. Faris refuses to make Shelley the joke of The House Bunny, only its clueless ambassador, stumbling through a wonderfully oddball courtship with an idealist (Colin Hanks) during her time turning geeks into goddesses.

Years of scene-stealing in both indie movies and lowbrow comedies have refined Faris’s approachable goofiness, and she finds an original, star-quality approach to playing a cheesy sex bomb. As Shelley, Faris widens her eyes (or as Shelley refers to them, “the nipples of the face”) as if she’s struggling to see through her own blissful daze, and speaks with a breathy, earnest tone. She’s superficial and bubbleheaded, but doesn’t have a malicious bone in her toned body; Faris finds comedy in her innocent belief in the healing togetherness of the Playboy fantasy. Shelley’s attempts at sexiness are so goofy that they go back around and become sexy again.

The best you can say about The House Bunny is it gives Faris a character and a framework and gets out of her way. In this case, that nearly qualifies as high praise. The bare-bones story: Shelley wanders into a run-down sorority house and offers her services as “house mother” to the misfit Zeta girls, whose lack of pledges threatens their chapter’s survival. Makeovers, house parties, revenges of nerds, and lessons follow.

She tells Time Out New York, “I’ve got my bong award on my fireplace. It’s the only award I’ve ever won. I’m so proud.” And she hints she has used the smoking tool for its intended purpose: “It does work. I can celebrate myself while enjoying myself”.

Now onto today’s update. I’ve scanned the September issue of Playboy with Anna looking gorgeous in the cover (and inside the magazine too, of course). The feature is called “20 questions” and is a very interesting and funny read. To check out the 21st question, visit Playboy.com!

When Shelley, a Playboy bunny, is tossed out of the mansion, she has nowhere to go until she falls in with the sorority girls from Zeta Tau Zeta. The members of the sorority - who also have got to be the seven most socially clueless women on the planet - are about to lose their house. They need a dose of what only the eternally bubbly Shelley can provide… but they will each learn on their own to stop pretending to be what others want them to be and start being themselves
