I'm TJL with more disturbing Showbiz dirt.
Here's a story I got from Sky News:
Hollywood couple J.Lo and Ben Affleck have secured a deal to remake the classic movie Casablanca, according to reports.
The pair are said to be delighted with the multi-million pound deal and are now in talks wirth American producers.
The original film was a hit in 1942 starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman.
Affleck will take the romantic lead as Rick, the Daily Star reports.
Lopez will play the former lover who had jilted him but comes back into his later life - married to a French resistance leader.
Actor Ben is reportedly a big fan of old movies and the project will give him a chance to indulge his passion.
It will not be the first time the two have appeared on screen together - they recently starred in Jersey Girl.
A friend said: "They are overjoyed at the propspect of being in Casablanca together.
It is the chance for them to show how much they love each other through their on-screen chemistry."
If you'll excuse me, I'm going to gouge my eyes out with a salad fork.
See you at the premiere!
Oh, wait, no I won't.
;)
