Angelina Jolie, Megan Fox to compete for Barbarella role

London, Aug 31 (ANI): In what could be the greatest showdown ever for the ultimate sex symbol tag, hotties Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox will audition for the role of Barbarella in a remake of the 1968 sci-fi classic of the same title, it has emerged.
“This will be the first time Angie and Megan have ever faced off for the same role,” the Daily Star quoted a studio insider as saying.
The source added: “Whoever gets the part will become the absolute number one Hollywood sex symbol on the planet.”
The original film had turned Jane Fonda into an international sex symbol overnight.
Now, whoever grabs the role will see herself as latex-suited blonde, and thigh-high-booted mercenary of the future.
Both Jolie and Fox have spoken about being compared to each other in the past.
Jolie once said: “If it’s a comparison of looks, she can be the most beautiful but I have so much more going on.”
Fox said: “She’s a powerful human being. She could eat me alive.”
Dino De Laurentiis, who produced the earlier film, believes that only these two mega stars can guarantee that the 150-million-dollar project becomes a huge box office hit. (ANI)

I think that neither one of them should be picked for the role, but hey, who am I?
I’m very tired of Megan Fox pretending to be insecure when secretly she thinks she’s the shit. And it doesnt help that all the men in the world feed into her and give her a big head. Angelina Jolie needs to realize that she’s not as young as she thinks she is and even though some think she’s the better fit for such a role, she doesn’t stand chance against Megan with how society is these days. (Ange you have Brad Pitt for crying out loud…BE HAPPY) Talent and great acting skills no longer matter because sex sells.
Give the role to someone who really deserves it.
