Katie Holmes thinks she can dance. Now Jennifer Aniston will sing?

According to E!,  Aniston will do her own singing in "The Goree Girls," based on a real-life story of female prisoners who formed a popular country-and-western band in the 1940s.

"She can sing," director Michael Sucsy tells E!. "And she's going to learn how to play the dobro."

Sucsy hasn't cast Aniston's fellow inmates yet, but real musicians and singers need not apply.

"These women learned to harmonize and they learned to play instruments," he explains. "They weren't these amazing, accomplished singers who banded together.

"It's not just like, 'Hey, you can play the guitar, I can play the piano, I can play the harmonica. Let's put a band together.' It's like, 'We have to get out of jail, and if we have to put a band together to do that, then that's what we're going to do.' "

Or, in Aniston's case, she has to get out of the romantic comedy jail...

She sang on 30 Rock and I thought she sounded great. She is nominated for an Emmy for that part? I think it's great she is doing a musical. I love musicals!!! Hollywood should make more of them. Grease and Dirty Dancing are two movies I can watch over and over because I love the music. I also love Oh Brother Where Art Thou. Make the music good and the movie will be a hit. Drew Berrymore would be great in this movie.


She can't act, she whines about everything, she controls the media, and yet, we want to hear her sing???? Just another ploy for publicity...


I wish she would stop. Enough with these games already. She sure is obsessive about getting attention and I'm sick of it.

*****************************

ROTFLMAO Angelina Jolie is the only one that controls the Media....And that has been proven...LMAO Quit putting Angelina roles onto Jennifer it really makes you look pathetic.....


Bratt is right. aniston doesn't control the media. She's NOT SMART ENOUGH to do that on her own. She has hired a "team" to control her image. And hello people, any "signing" she does will be mixed in a sound studioa and tacked into the film.


singing. apologies for the typo.


SHUT UP JEALOUS *****. LEAVE ANGELINA JOLIE ALONE.


Oh, yeah. Who want to hear the cigarette smoking voice? Enough Jen.


She whines about everything? I must have missed it. And I'm sure that you never complain about anything margarita. You're all sunshine and happiness. Give me a break.
