Yes, Olivia Wilde, You May Also Play Linda Lovelace

If I'm not forgetting anyone, Olivia Wilde is now the third person who may play Linda Lovelace in an upcoming biopic of the late porn actress. According to Wilde, she's considering taking the title role in Lovelace, helmed by Oscar-winning codirectors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman. "It would be a tremendous honor," she said to E!. "She was a fascinating woman--with where she came from to Deep Throat to then working with Gloria Steinem and Nora Ephron. It's really fascinating." No, this has nothing to do with the Malin Akerman/ex-Lindsay Lohan project Inferno, but it is the one that was recently offered to a pregnant Kate Hudson. Which of these ladies would be best?

I'd say Wilde, actually! Her billowing fame and acceptance of butt shots put her at the top of the list. As for the other two, Kate Hudson's pregnant at the moment, which puts Epstein and Friedman's plan of a summer start date on Lovelace at stake, and Akerman, who has shown some versatility in everything from Watchmen to Children's Hospital, is clearly capable -- if not an obvious or pointed choice for the role. Because Akerman is still waiting for the role that could vault her into A-list standing, I'll rank her in second place. Hudson, you look great, but I'm still not over the insane failure that was Nine.
