After the acting tour de force that was 'Crossroads' (sadly lacking Benny in his woolly hat) it seems
Britney is in talks to star in another film. Amazingly, she is considering playing the
VIRGIN MARY in a retelling of the Nativity Story!
You couldn't make it up (although considering the recent pregnancy 'story' someone probably did make it up). It's either a rare display of irony from an American or Spears has mulled over the parallels in her life with Mary: banned from hotels, dubious conception activity, hounded by men wanting to get the exclusive on her child, shaved heads...
And if this story couldn't get any better the title of the planned film is 'Sweet Baby Jesus', although we're not sure that this isn't what the producer said when Spears got out of her car with no pants on.
Anyway, we love the idea of this alternative nativity story, and we were thinking who else would star in it? Would Justin Timberlake play Joseph? Who would be Herod, the Three Wise Men the Inn Keeper or the donkey? Over to you...
