Goree Girls Sentences Jennifer Aniston to Hard Time

· Jennifer Aniston is attached to star in and co-produce Goree Girls, the true story of an all-female country-and-western group rocking a Texas prison in the 1940s. Grey Gardens adapter Michael Sucsy will polish the script and direct. Aniston's role is unknown at this time; here's hoping the washtub-bass skills that made her the life of Friends's renowned after-party jug-band jams finally get the big-screen spotlight they deserve.

Jason Segal signs up for adventure, Josh Duhamel and Katherine Heigl will turn viewers' estrogen up to a rolling boil, and much more Hollywood Ink after the jump.

· Jason Segel has joined the cast of The Adventurer's Handbook, which also features Jason Schwartzman and Jonah Hill (who co-wrote) in the story of four childhood friends who trade their boring lives for global expeditions like those of the great explorers featured in the titular book. This is the one Universal paid a reported seven figures for and whose script the studio guarded like Colonel Sanders's original recipe, so get ready for some really, really superb dick jokes. [THR]

· Josh Duhamel will co-star with Katherine Heigl in Life as We Know It, about two unattached singles whose mutual friends die suddenly and leave them custody of their kids. Think of it kind of like a spiritual sequel to Knocked Up, perhaps even with the luxury of a Duhamel-centric marketing campaign asking, "What if this guy inherited strange children with you?" Well? What if? [Variety]

· Hats off to Larry Fessenden, the indefatigable actor and indie-horror impresario whom New Line has tapped to direct its English-language remake of The Orphanage. If such recycling must be done in Hollywood, it's always encouraging to see it assigned to someone who'll import a few ideas from the outside. [THR]

· Sony picked up and will distribute The Experiment, the planned Euro-thriller remake starring Adrien Brody and Forest Whitaker. [THR]

· Columbia acquired Mike White's spec script Babe in the Woods, an action-comedy about "a female freshman from the Midwest who arrives at Yale and becomes a target of the New Jersey mob." Which sounds great, but Yale sounds awfully far for them. Wouldn't a Princeton freshman be more convenient? [Variety]

    1. With Aniston in the lead all the songs are going to be about her love life.
    2. Not only superb dick jokes, but exotic animal dick jokes. You can't go wrong with that.
    3. Maybe Heigl will say something nice about him, not likely, but hope springs eternal.
    4. Congrats Larry. Remember, don't spend too much money, even if they want you too, it's the only way to keep from setting off the studio's "meddle detectors."
    5. Two remakes in one post.
    6. It is a bit of a stretch, but a lot of actors need the work after the Sopranos retired.

  • I hope Fergie pees on her.

    So, we got Jennifer Anniston on the Washtub base, how about Ellen Page on the autoharp, Anne Hathaway on the 5-String Banjo, and for good measure, Kathryn Heigl on the Dick Van Dyke-style one-man band?

    For any child they will eat untill they are full and if they do not eat they will not starve. I would continue to do as you are untill she lets you know its not enough. Every child is different as to what amount they can eat and what makes them full. That is why no one really can tell you how much to feed. As for the bottle your dr can give you an mount your child should be intaking during the day and you can split that amount up so that you at least know if your giving her too much formula. If you are told to cut back on formula or give her more then you adjust the food untill she is a happy camper. Good luck,.
