Rihanna Wants To Be Scarface’s Chick

Rihanna wants a role in the 'Scarface' remake.

The 24-year-old singer is desperate to be cast in Universal Pictures' reboot of the classic 1983 Al Pacino gangster film in the part of Elvira Hancock, who was originally played by Michelle Pfeiffer.



A source told The Sun newspaper: "Rihanna loves 'Scarface'. Some of her music videos have been based on Michelle's character, Elvira.

"She knows all the words and even has her walk perfected."

The star has admitted to being a huge fan of the character in the past, saying Elvira has "ridiculous swagger".

The new 'Scarface' film will see the action updated to a modern day setting about drug-dealers.

Rihanna made her acting debut in action blockbuster 'Battleship' alongside Liam Neeson earlier this year.



She is also voicing the female lead in upcoming DreamWorks animation 'Happy Smekday' and will make a cameo appearance in a new Seth Rogen comedy.

Rihanna has often expressed her interest in pursuing her acting career.

She recently commented: "I didn't know if I would like it or be good at it. I really enjoyed the experience and I want to do more, try different types of roles so that I can see what I excel in most or like best.''

Introducing honoree Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon celebrated the "Friends" alum's rare combination of "sex appeal and complete loveability. You want to get your nails done with her, and then make out with her. At least I do."

"That's what we do sometimes on Saturdays," Witherspoon cracked, as the ballroom of the Four Seasons Beverly Hills erupted in laughter. "We get our nails done ... and then make out. That's because she's my friend and not yours."

Michelle Pfeiffer and Jessica Simpson for ‘Grease’ Remake

Michelle Pfeiffer is set to appear in a remake of 'Grease'.

The 'Stardust' actress, who starred in the 1982 sequel 'Grease 2', has been approached to join the cast for a new version of the original 1978 hit musical and has her heart set on playing an older character.

Michelle said: "It's a great idea and I hear they would like to get Jessica Simpson for the role of Sandy, she would be good.



"I would love to play the school principal. She is fun and has some great put-down lines. I think I would like the part now that I have been asked."

Michelle regretted taking the part of Stephanie Zinone in 'Grease 2' and believes it set her career back 10 years.

The 'Hairspray' star is quoted by a British newspaper as saying: "I hated that film with a vengeance and could not believe how bad it was. At the time I was young and didn't know any better.

"I hear it's a cult movie now."

Earlier this year, Michelle revealed she can't bear to watch her own movies because they make her cringe.

The 49-year-old actress said: "I don't sit at home and watch my movies. I cannot bear it when I'm channel surfing and there I am, suddenly popping up.

"It's very rare that I can stand it for very long, although when my kids were watching 'Married To The Mob' recently I was able to watch it for 15 to 20 minutes and I was OK."
