Ang Lee? Dusty Springfield? What?

A little blurb has appeared in the British press
trumpeting coke fiend Kate
Moss' Hollywood debut - and as a lesbian, no less! According to the report, Moss' appearance will take place in Ang Lee's biopic of Dusty
Springfield, in which she'll play one of the singer's (to be played by Charlize Theron) lovers. Ok, got it. Wait - what?! Since when has Ang
Lee been making a movie about Dusty Springfield? The last we heard about a Springfield movie was last spring, when Kristin Chenoweth was said to be playing her under the direction of Jessica Sharzer. But since that
movie was supposed to end with the recording of Dusty in Memphis and the Lee one is expected to cover
Springfield's entire life, they appear to be two entirely different things.The lack of any other mention of this project anywhere online (that I can find, anyway) leaves me assuming that Kate Moss' handlers have completely made it up in an effort to get her some non-crappy press. At the same time, though, the rumor is so bizarrely specific that it's hard to dismiss it entirely. Anyone have Ang's number?
Oh, and don't forget - Kate Moss! Lesbian!

Gee, we haven't yet seen the second of two movies about Truman Capote ("Infamous"), and now we have two Dusty Springfield movies possibly on the horizon? I wouldn't be surprised if we next read that Jamie Foxx and Terrence Howard each are doing versions of the Luther Vandross story.

I'm pretty sure Ang won't direct another same-sex movie. He told Taiwanese media : My next film will be a Chinese speaking movie. There is already one script (which is about a gambling husband..)I am very interested in...

I saw Kristin Chenoweth in concert last night (2/26/06), and she said she's making a Dusty Springfield movie... so that one appears to be on.
