Lucy Hale

A Real Good Guy, Girls Lunching on Air, Going Solo – Blind Items

“This A list actor personally sends out thank you letters to fans who send him homemade gifts. He doesn’t get to all of them, but he attempts to be sincere in his handwritten letters. This isn’t his only positive attribute. He often gives anonymously to charity and even went to personally visit a few fans who were battling life threatening situations. His only stipulation…no media cameras or press. Some might think he is mad for keeping positive press to himself, but he is baffled by their abuse of fellow human beings for personal gain.” [Hollywood Dame]

Just when you think there couldn’t be anymore “New Moon” drama, another possible star of the film has leaked. Apparently “Privileged” star Lucy Hale auditioned for the role of Jane in the “Twilight” sequel prior to director Chris Weitz’s decision to offer the role outright to nearly 15-year-old actress Dakota Fanning.

Hale tells Twist Magazine:

“Well, I did read [for the role of Jane]. We had some talks about it. But I think they just offered it to Dakota Fanning, the role I was interested in. Which is great – I’m a huge fan of her! So, I think she’ll probably take that. And I mean, as of right now, I’m not sure if it’s going to work out. But I’m definitely still going to see it!”

Sometimes I feel badly for actors and the fact that they have to express enthusiasm when another actor is given a role they auditioned for. Can you imagine having to do that in the real world? I wish I had gotten that job, but Joe will make an excellent garbage collector. I’m really happy he was given work and I was left to collect unemployment.

Don’t worry about Lucy, though. When asked if she would be interested in another role in the movie she replied:

“I’d take any role! Leah Clearwater, but I think there’s already talks with somebody else. I think they’ve already offered it to someone. I mean, we’ll see. If not, it’s all good.”

Apparently Lucy is still under the impression that Vanessa Hudgens, the once rumored candidate for the role of Leah Clearwater, is still in the running. Perhaps Lucy should read Hollywood Dame more often.
