A while ago, Leighton auditioned for a remake of Beauty and the Beast called Beastly. A source tells E! that she really wanted to do it, but they were trying to think of a way that she could a) Record her album, b) Shoot Gossip Girl, 3)And shoot The Roommate.
But I just found out that Vanessa Hudgens got the part, instead of her. I don’t have nothing against Vanessa – actually, I like her a lot. But I don’t think she is more talented than Leighton, NO WAY. So, maybe Leighton didn’t have time and that’s why V got the part. Oh, please, let it be it. Anyway. That’s sad. The movie is probably gonna be super cute. I really wanted to see Leighton in it.
Oh, well. We just have to wait until the premiere of The Roommate and Date Night.
Love ya,

Aw, Leighton would have made a beautiful Belle, in modern day. Vanessa’s cool too, I guess. I’m assuming Leighton was just too busy, I hope that’s the reason.

I’m glad that Vanessa is playing Lindy. I like Leighton and I think she’s a good actress, but I couldn’t see her playing a role like this.
