... about this bit of news (via) so I will just post it and hope that y'all can put the proper reaction to it into words in the comments."Heather Matarazzo is a brave young performer, and not just because she came out of the closet. She played the aggressively nerdy (and horribly dressed) Dawn Wiener in her film debut, the modern classic pain-comedy "Welcome to the Dollhouse," and she screamed and screamed while her blood rained down onto another naked woman who paid to torture her in "Hostel 2."
Now she's playing "US Weekly" cover staple Jessica Simpson - sort of.
Matarazzo has signed on to play the lead role in "Magnus!," a new film from gay "Fat Girls" director Ash Christian. And while Christian says that it's not exactly Simpson's life story, Matarazzo will play a trailer-trash gal who loves singing and gets cast in a local production of "Jesus Christ Superstar."
[We're] already intrigued, but the casting of the hilarious Jennifer Coolidge as Matarazzo's mom makes for the perfect cherry on top. Shooting starts in late November, which means "Magnus!" should be ready to hit all the queer film fests next summer, just in time for Simpson to start a tabloid feud with everyone involved."
Uhhh... I want to say that sounds amazing. That could be completely amazing. It could also... not... be. Although I'm leaning towards yes, amazing. Y'all?

I'm on board for trailer trash Jesus Christ Superstar alone. Matarazzo is the icing on the cake.
