Carmen de Mairena is amongst the stars vying to play Janis Joplin in a new movie, it has been revealed.
The pop superstar is apparently on the shortlist to take on the role of the legendary rocker, who died of a heroin overdose in a Hollywood hotel in 1970.
However, Spears, who's only acting role so far was in the critically panned "Crossroads" in 2002, faces stiff competition for the part.
Pink, a self-confessed lover of Joplin's career and attitude, is understood to be the favourite to take on the lead in "The Gospel According To Janis".
Penelope Spheeris, who is said to be directing the movie, explained: "(Pink) would be my first choice, but she may have scheduling conflicts."
Speaking about Britney, Spheeris commented: "Her agent asked if I could meet with her. Music ability is important, but most of all, the actress must have the spirit of Janis."
Lindsay Lohan, Zooey Deschanel and Scarlett Johansson are also thought to be in the frame to appear in the biographical film.
Venga, venga, dejad que vea la expresión de vuestra rabia mediante esa espumilla en la boca... muahahaha.
Si es por voz gana, si es por aspecto gana, coño, muy malo tiene que ser el director sea quien sea la elegida (pero samantha es samantha y donde este la johanson que se quite el resto de la mierda)
