John Travolta Is Going To Be Pissed!
Steven Soderbergh is working on a biopic of the one and only Liberace! Variety (via CS) reports that Steven has picked Michael Douglas to play Liberace.
Matt Damon is also in talks to play Scott Thorson, Liberace's alleged companion of five years. Scott sued Liberace in 1982 for $113 in palimony. Even though Liberace denied he was gay, he still settled with Scott for $95,000 in 1986. In 1987, Liberace passed away of complications from AIDS at the age of 67.
Michael Douglas is the last person I can see playing Liberace, but I'll still be 8th row center when this comes out. If it comes out.
You know Tommy Girl's scientolohole is going to pay tonight when John Travolta finds out he lost his dream role! He loves any excuse to wear rhinestones and crushed velvet in public! Oh well, John. There's always the Elton John biopic.....
I think Douglas is an excellent choice; however, I have to wonder if Scott is somehow, in any way, shape, or form, involved in the proposed production. That could be a very bad thing considering I have a signed and dated life story consent and release from Scott from May 14, 2004.
Michael Douglas gotta eat too. Pussy that is.
He looks like a vagina in that pic.
I never thought Liberace and vagina could ever be connected.
john travolta may go straight after being passed up over a role he was born to play...
however, i'm not liking michael douglas as liberace...*blech*

so pretty. so fat. so sad!!!
Remind me to hire that guy's lawyer, since he asked for $113 and got $95,000. Ha Ha. I hope he sued for $113 million and that all he got was $95,000, cause it's not like he was out there earning Liberace's money.

i can't believe no one looked at this picture and didnt notice that Liberace resembles a great big sequined, multicolored vagina.
LOL. Sorry hon, but Liberace WAS a great big sequined, multicolored vagina.

Actually, I think Michael Douglas is a great choice. He resembles Liberace slightly and can be a great actor (anybody remember "Wonder Boys"?).

I do not understand how any woman in the world could look at that and think "woo, hot! He's not gay!" I mean, come on. The man might as well have painted "Gay as a Christmas carol" on his glittery outfit, and it's not like he was a hottie anyway.
itsjsutme that is an awesome description. Sort of if Dracula was flaming and bedazzled and more interested in Jonathan's tight bottom than in his fiancee's.
as for Douglas, methinkses he'll get an Oscar for this. Not because he'll do well or fit the role, but because Hollywood LOOOOOOOVES biopics.
Where can I buy one of these statuettes?????
Michael Douglas?! Bitch, please.
Hugh Jackman! That's the man who could play Liberace. "The Boy From Oz". Need I say more?
"If Drinks Aren't Involved, Then Neither Am I."
The ladies ALWAYS love the gays...right MK?
And I think it really should be Martin Sheen playing Liberace...or maybe Charlie Sheen...or maybe both.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My only regret is that I'll live to see all the trends I hated come back to life.
What about all those women back in the day who were in love with him? They didn't know what gay was? Okay, if some old lady loved Rock Hudson and didn't know he was a poofter, that's okay. He acted straight. But Liberace? I knew he was gay before I knew what gay was!

Ha ha! That's exactly what I was thinking. The spammers are so inappropriate sometimes--which is why I don't mind them.

He is my favorite. Just saw his personals ID on millionaires personals site """C e l e b C u p i d.c o m"""""" yesterday. I am wondering what kind of relationship he is looking for on ~that site.☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

A necrophiliac one I assume?

I would like to see John Travolta in this role--in Hairspray he said he decided to play Edna "as a woman" and not "as a drag queen" but that lost a lot of its camp value so it wasn't funny. You can't get any campier than Liberace.
Michael Douglas is too old.

I cannot see Douglas playing this role. I actually think Tommy Girl would be a far better choice than Travolta. Hell, the former probably already has a pair of rhinestone encrusted platform shoes.
Gayvolta was BORN to play the role of Liberace.
Tommy Girl can play his sidekick.
I smell movie magic! Oscar! Golden Globe!
I guess you mean $113 million? $113,000???? $113 is not much for the whole fuss of a lawsuit... it's barely the cost of 2 blowjobs.
He was extravagant. What did they do with his diamond piano? Has anyone topped that?
Please Mr. Francis Ford Coppola, make a Godfather part 4 with Talia Shire as the Godfather and Kay finally with the program.
Obviously Scott Thorson did not go to the Heather Mills school of gold digging if he only sued for $113.
Michael Douglas?! Bitch, please.
Hugh Jackman! That's the man who could play Liberace. "The Boy From Oz". Need I say more?
He only picked Michael Douglas cause they are friends....
CLARISSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
I missed you tee hee
Michael Douglas doesn't exactly look like a gay grandpa.
Reminds me though that my 38 year old aunt wants to bang him....ew. But then again her husband is like 237 years old. (53 really but yeah).
Ew.

Why didn´t he just choose Liberace´s boyfriend? Liberace made his boyfriend go under the knife in an effort make him look like himself, talk about narcissistic...

Liberace always reminded me of a super gay vampire.
Must be all the capes.
Michael Douglas, no....KD Lang, YES! She would be perfect.
Michael Douglas?!? This is going to be some hilarious shit.
Michael Douglas? What?
Rupert Everett is going to have something to say about this.
...I am aka BRADIFUL BITCH, I SWEAR!!!...
I cannot think of anyone LESS Liberace than Michael Douglas...great casting! Maybe Tom Cruise can play Lestat. No, wait...

how about nathan lane? he'd be good.

I don't think Travolta will be pissed. I think he'll be glad he'll have the chance to role-play with Michael Douglas in his Sigfried (sp?) costume.

Say there was a fart pay it forward... if someone paid forward an egg fart to you, would you only be able to pay forward egg farts or could you pay forward cheese farts and chinese food farts?
O yeah - the young one:

For the young Liberace, Michael Douglas will never do. Who is that Baywatch guy who sort of looks like a younger, thinner Greasy Bear? Kelly Slater maybe? He should play young Liberace.
They should call it "Light My Candelabra."

Now this could be very interesting...

My pick is Regis Philbin.

The long hot summer just passed me by.
really? micheal douglas? odd. i cant see him playing it either. but perhaps he'll do well?
Michael Douglas ain't that good of an actor. And he'd need another face lift to do Libby justice.
