This is it folks. The rebirth is upon us.
It's been known for a while that Quentin Tarantino has the ability of not just reshaping an actor's career (See: Uma Thurman in "Kill Bill") but also bringing a career that was completely dead and making it vibrant again. (See: John Travolta in "Pulp Fiction")
Now the director has his sights on a new project: pop queen/borderline psycho Britney Spears.
Now let me make this clear. I don't know why but I'm rooting for Spears. I say psssht to Lindsay, psssht to Winehouse but Britney, I'm behind you.
So when I read this morning that Tarantino is working on casting Spears as Varla in a remake of the 1965 cult film "Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" I was ecstatic.
Talk about taking your career in a whole new direction! Spears's character is a murderous lesbian stripper in a film about thrill-seeking strippers who encounter a young couple in the desert.
Spears' character murders the boyfriend with her bare hands before taking the girlfriend hostage.
So good for you, Brit! Try something new. The old stuff obviously isn't working anymore.

It sounds like a good idea on paper, but she's just such a terrible actress (didn't you see "Crossroads?"). But if anybody could help Brit Brit with a comback, I'm thinking Quentin Tarantino has the best shot.
