Incredibly Annoying Actor to Play Incredibly Annoying Media Whore

Somehow this slipped by me last month, but when you think about it, it's perfect casting.

The Daily Beast site has an alleged scoop today that the long-in-the-works movie based on Valerie Plame's memoir is ready to go into production, with Naomi Watts as the former CIA operative and Sean Penn now signed to play her husband.

Good grief. You can pretty much give him the Oscar now and be done with the drame.

Anyway, I noticed it here, as the director was trying to rope Ann Coulter into a role in the film.

ANN Coulter is too smart to be lured into a movie where she'd be made to look foolish. The leggy conservative has turned down an offer from director Doug Liman to appear in "Fair Game," his left-leaning film about the Valerie Plame affair starring Naomi Watts as the CIA agent whose cover was blown by columnist Robert Novak. Sean Penn, who plays Plame's underemployed husband Joseph Wilson, was pushing to have Coulter in a scene where she'd be screaming invectives at him.
