Angelina Regenders Hollywood

This item is short but sweet: Angelina Jolie is being seriously considered for a leading action role previously linked to ... wait for it ... Tom Cruise.

No, she's not gender-bending; they're rewriting the role for her.

How cool is that? That a woman has enough star power -- and action star power at that -- to get a script regendered to suit her.

The downside is, of course, that Cruise was detached from the project because he wanted too much money. So the obvious conclusion to draw here is that Angelina, the queen of Hollywood to Cruise's once-but-not-future king, even with a potentially expensive rewrite, can command so much less of a fee that it's worth their while to go with her.

So now I'm all ambivalent. What do you think?
