Jenny Gets her Sing-On!

News broke recently about a more positive story about Jennifer Aniston that doesn’t involve her being screwed over by men, potentially adopting a baby, or being called a man. She is said to be executive producing a new movie entitled ‘Goree Girls’ and may potentially have a starring role…the catch? It’s a musical.

‘Goree Girls’ tells the story of Goree Prison in Texas in the 1940s, when some of the women inmates formed one of the first all female country music acts. They became hugely successful, with their radio show sometimes bringing up to 7 million listeners daily. The ‘Girls’ were eventually pardoned of their crimes due to their success and faded into the background. Isn’t that always the case?

Aniston heard their story in an article on Texas Monthly by Skip Hollandsworth. I tried to read the article, entitled ‘O Sister Where Are Thou?’ but like most internet sites, you have to sign up and pay the big bucks to get whole thing (another reason why Celebitchy is so great, no money, wicked stories! Woot.).

The big question though, is can she sing?! Others have done it before, think Reese Witherspoon or Nicole Kidman. But then I have painful memories of Carmen Diaz in ‘My Best Friend’s Wedding’…sure it may have been overly bad on purpose, but it was still overly bad. And if this YouTube video of Jennifer singing country on SNL is any indication….well…you can decide for yourself.
