taylor swift to become superhero?
rumors are circulating that miss swift is the number one pick for a reboot of the supergirl franchise. the star - chosen because of her role model status in the real world - is really the only name being tossed around for a possible movie (and tv show) in development for next year. one problem: it's not like swift has proven herself as an actress. she had a one-time gig on csi that was so-so, brought a little bit of cheer to snl this season and is set to make her big screen debut in february's ensemble flick valentine's day. chances are no contracts would be signed until after valentine's day's box office numbers and a review of swift's performance come in, but i still don't know about this. for one, is anyone even interested in this franchise? the '80s movie version pretty much tanked and it's not like superman is all that popular these days (the cw's smallville has always been a hard sell and the attempted relaunch of the film franchise came and went without much notice a few years ago). just because she has the hair doesn't mean she can pull off the tights. or a big movie. basically, i'd prefer is swifty just stuck to that whole singing thing.
