McPhee, who finished behind Taylor Hicks in last season's "Idol," is being considered for the big-screen version of "Wonder Woman," according to reports.
...
McPhee, who's talked openly about her battle with bulimia, will appear on the cover of an upcoming issue of Shape magazine clad in a bathing suit - a sort of try-out for the role.

The cover could prove she now has what it takes for the tight-fitting costumes the movie requires.

An excellent choice.

Starring in a big film is just what she needs to finally get over an eating disorder.

Who's going to be directing Wonder Woman anyway?

The movie will be directed by "Buffy" creator Joss Whedon

Hopefully it's as compelling as From Justin to Kelly...

Question... If Wonder Woman is flying in the invisible jet, will we be able to see Miss McPhee binging and purging?

 

[poindexter]

As long as her part doesn't require singing.

 

[Mizzougrad96]

This may go down as one of the worst casting decisions of all-time...

 

[poindexter]

Does her invisible plane carry a barf bag?

You know, this sounds like a horrible decision, but on the other hand, several music stars have made surprisingly good transitions into acting. Of course, McPhee is no star, but I guess the same concept applies.

Also, isn't she from some wealthy family in LA? I'd imagine there have been more than a few acting classes in McPhee's background.

You've got to take any Hollywood casting story from the New York Post with a huge grain of salt.

Seriously, what qualifications does one really need to play Wonder Woman?

Look good in the outfit.

I think she can pull that off.

IMDB says Kate Beckinsale is/was also considered for the role.

As was half of Hollywood, according to the NY Post article:

...she joins an already long list of Hollywood "Who's Who" actresses up for the role, including Sandra Bullock, Kate Beckinsale, Rebecca Romijn, Jessica Biel and Eliza Dushku, who starred in the short-lived Fox series "Tru Calling."

I thought her daddy had some connection with Hollywood.

And, I can't believe I'm the first one to say this, but this thread is worthless without pictures!

Beckinsale's name in the only one listed on IMDB, though, a site I'd trust a hell of a lot more than the NY Post.

I wouldn't trust either too much regarding upcoming movies (IMDB is perfectly fine after the cast/crew is finalized).
