As a musical artist, I’ve got a lot of respect for Pink. Her new song called “Stupid Girl” is basically social commentary on the roles and self image of women in todays pop culture set to music and is absolutely brilliant!
Having said that… Pink is a musical artist… not an actor. I was totally dismayed when I first heard that Pink was going to be offered the role of Janis Joplin in the upcoming “Gospel According to Janis“. Why on earth would they give a role like that to someone whose biggest film achievement to date was as “Rock Singer Girl #2” in Rollerball?
Well apparently Pink has walked from the project… and that is great news for true movie fans… who you know… like to see ACTORS acting in major roles. You know… people who have trained most of their lives for the craft and actually know what they’re doing. Go figure.
So Pink is off the Joplin movie. Yay!
