Wonder woman
Last month, we told you to look out for Hollywood superstars who are pumping themselves up to try out for prime superhero roles. Well, are you ready for Mariah Carey as a big-screen Wonder Woman? There have been Tinseltown rumors of Carey being cast as the comic superchick, now that action specialist Joel Silver may do the project as a Warner Bros. megaproduction.
The possibilty of Carey donning tights and superheroine drag has already sparked controversy. After all, the wiggly warbler has turned up on-screen in only the teeny role as an opera diva in the dud comedy The Bachelor. And who knows how she's going to be received in the semiautobiographical musical All That Glitters?
The WW role isn't a lock for Carey, though. Other actresses reportedly up for the part (played on TV by Cathy Lee Crosby and Lynda Carter in the '70's) include Sandra Bullock, Angie Harmon, and, most promisingly, Catherine Zeta-Jones... (Vibe)
