who knew? apparently jennifer garner & jessica biel are a couple of bff’s! enough to dive into a movie project together: the movie remake of 70′s classic tv show laverne & shirley.

romantic comedy guru director garry marshall is the brains behind the operation, with a fairly unlikely screenwritin’ partner – jamie foxx! marshall tells tv guide mag:

“jamie and i are trying to do it. he’s writing it. it’s a whole different modern take on how they came up on the streets during difficult times. laverne would be this very tough girl with a big ‘L’ tattooed on her arm. jennifer garner would play laverne and jessica biel would play shirley.”

wait, what? i can totally picture a cute best friend-ish movie with these two lovely ladies, but what’s all this about growin’ up in the streets, mr. director? i’m quite curious to see how this pans out!

don’t get me wrong, i’m a huge julia roberts fan. but come on, is she made of gold?

if you ventured out into the theaters this weekend to indulge in the celebrity love fest that is ‘valentine’s day,’ you might’ve caught a glimpse of the actress. judging from the trailer, we would’ve thought julia was a prime player. but as it turns out, she’s only in the film for roughly 6 minutes!

but that’s not the ridiculous part. for her part in the lovey-dovey flick, america’s sweetheart was paid $3 MILLION! that’s about $500,000 a minute. for that kinda cash, those better be the best 6 minutes of our lives!!

apparently roberts agreed to the part as a favor to director garry marshall. after casting her, it was much easier to get stars like jessica biel, ashton kutcher and anne hathaway on board. i guess only the box office can tell if julia was worth that paycheck… we’ll find out soon!
