Barrymore Plans Laverne & Shirley Movie with Love
World Entertainment News Network

DREW BARRYMORE is hoping to revive cult 1970s/80s TV series LAVERNE & SHIRLEY with pal COURTNEY LOVE.

The actress, who tasted success as a star and producer of the big screen adaptation of another TV hit CHARLIE'S ANGELS in 2000, is reportedly a huge fan of the HAPPY DAYS spin-off which starred CINDY WILLIAMS and PENNY MARSHALL as Milwaukee brewery workers.

New York gossip columnist LIZ SMITH claims Barrymore wants to reprise Williams' role as Shirley and has her friend Love in mind to play sassy Laverne.

Oh please!
You really want to see Courtney Love walking around with a big "L" on her chest?

Oh, please tell me what the heck "PBLEW" means. Not really up on the lingo I guess...

¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ · 07-23-2002, 11:04 PM

lol NO, frankly I dont want to see Courtney Love as Laverne, I cant stand Love...I was just excited about a L&S movie
ohh lol, and PBLEW is my lingo for :raspberries:

TJL · 07-24-2002, 05:19 AM

Okay, how about Drew Barrymore plays Laverne..
Who would you cast as Shirley?

¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ · 07-24-2002, 02:47 PM

Wouldnt be Courtney Love thats for sure...are they opposites or what?? It would have to be someone squeaky clean and young- like Kirsten Dunst or Natalie Portman. They look very innocent, just throw on a short brown wig. Plus Kirsten has the whole dimple thing too.

TJL · 07-24-2002, 05:01 PM

Kirsten Dunst...that's pretty good. She definatley has the perkiness factor.
Reese Witherspoon, possibly...

¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ · 07-24-2002, 05:22 PM

Ohhh yeah, I forgot about Reese. I really like her too. I loved her in Legally Blonde. Shes got that innosence thing going on too.

TJL · 07-24-2002, 07:14 PM

Jerry Stiller as Frank DeFazio?

Naaah! James Gandolfini.

¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ · 07-24-2002, 11:40 PM

Hehe....who would be Lenny and Squiggy?? lol you need someone kind of goody. Kelso from That 70s Show is a little TOO weird--even for them. And Carmine?? Hmm...and Edna Babbish?? Hmm, I have to think!

Titania · 07-25-2002, 08:39 PM

Well, this is just my opinion but I wouldnt want a L&S movie unless it was the original cast. I mean- cindy and penny are still alive and l&s would have aged anyways!
well, if it comes out id see it anyways just because, hey, its l&s!! but....aghhhhh.

¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ · 07-25-2002, 10:05 PM

I agree Titania. Nothing beats the original. I think, in MY opinion, the only TV show made into a movie that was almost as good as the show was the Brady Bunch. I mean, even if you didnt like the show, you have to admit it WAS funny! But it was a good movie because the same man who did the show did the movie--he knew what people wanted to see. Movies today from TV shows are all stupid and drama-like. Look at The Patty Duke Movie, Growing Pains Movie (gave me pains!), then you have movies that are sooooo far fetched from the original show--Leave it to Beaver?? C'mon, that dad was a freak screaming like that, Ward in 1957 would NEVER raise his voice like that! Dennis the Menace was OK, but not TOO great either. I dunno, those are just my opinions, not to offend anyone who was obsessed with the My Favorite Martian and Facts of Life Movie--cant judge FOL movie because I missed it, but Im sure it wasnt as good--No Jo!!!!!!
