Caroline's Casting Couch: Heroes Cheerleader + Simpsons Writer
NBC/Chris Haston/Fox
It's like a Kobe beef cheeseburger or an $85 hot dog or a gourmet PB&J sandwich. I'm referring to news today that Heroes tartlet and Starbucks enthusiast Hayden Panettiere is in talks to star in an adaptation of a novel by former Simpsons writer and current New Yorker contributor Larry Doyle. Lowbrow, meet highbrow.
The teen flick is called I Love You, Beth Cooper, and the plot is very Can't Buy Me Love: hot cheerleader falls for nerdy valedictorian and shows him a good time. And who doesn't love Can't Buy Me Love?
P.S.: Chris Columbus (Home Alone, Harry Potter, etc.) is producing, according to the Hollywood Reporter, and that's also promising news, as there isn't any marketing-driven talk of the cheerleader saving the world—I'm thrilled. You? Let me know in the Comments section!
