Brit and Madge kiss at the 2003 VMAsQuentin Tarantino is remaking the 1965 cult classic Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! and has chosen pop trashtress Britney Spears to play Varla, a thrill-seeking stripper who kills a man with her bare hands and beds women.
While the Cheeto-fingered Spears is usually seen as more of a danger to herself and her children than to desert-touring couples, the peppy popster might just be able to pull off lesbian seductress with a modicum of entertainment value.
Her one televised lesbian kiss, the famed smooch with Madge at the MTV Video Music Awards, was a a fairly sensual one, though I suppose Madonna could rope almost anyone into a decent on-screen kiss.
Spears may not be a generally accepted lesbian fantasy but her ability to flow from baby-doll pop chanteuse to trailer trash mom makes this evolution seem possible. Judging by Tarantino’s excellent casting for Grindhouse I have little doubt that the other 2 lead ladies will back up Spears with a satisfying pulp hotness.
But beyond the kitsch factor and excitement over re-creating grainy 60s style catfights, dykes do seem to be Hollywood’s new black. In this increasingly lesbi-chic era, will woman-on-woman loving be the new salvation?
Since being romantically linked to openly gay DJ Samantha Ronson, Lindsay Lohan has been in the headlines much more for her wholesome lady hand-holding than Coke binges or drunken car wrecks. Can merely playing a lesbian land Britney some of that same sought-after stability? If not, Brit may have to move into the real thing.
Does anyone know if Jenny Shimizu is currently single?
