  2. Lindsay Lohan

    Lindsay Lohan

    Lohan knows better than anyone what it's like to NOT want to go to rehab. She's also skinny, busty and believe it or not, she can sing.

  3. Taylor Momsen

    Taylor Momsen

    Momsen fronts a rock band, is known for her "pretty reckless" behavior and she can act, too (even though she says she's quitting Hollywood).

  4. Lea Michele

    Lea Michele

    The "Glee" star can sing and act and kind of looks like Winehouse if you squint really hard.

  5. Zooey Deschanel

    Zooey Deschanel

    Deschanel has the look, the indie girl cred and she sings, plays several instruments and has her own band. Sold yet?

  6. Blake Lively

    Blake Lively

    Think Lively is too supermodel-ish to play Winehouse? Check out her performance in "The Town" and picture her with black hair, and you'll see what we mean.

  7. Kristen Stewart

    Kristen Stewart

    K-Stew has the dark, troubled hipster thing going for her, but can she sing?

  8. Emily Blunt

    Emily Blunt

    Hollywood raves about the talented Emily Blunt … and like Winehouse, she's a legitimate Brit. At least she'll get the accent right!

From Lady Gaga to Lea Michele: Which Actress Should Play Amy Winehouse?

It hasn't even been a month since Amy Winehouse died at age 27, and already, a biopic about her tragically short life is reportedly in the works.

Plans for a movie about the soulful singer have already been discussed with her family, The Sun claims, adding that the search for the right actress to play her has begun.

"The feeling is there wouldn't be an actress under 30 who wouldn't want to play her," an insider told the tabloid. "The first job is to get financial backing from co-production companies in the States. Some are showing interest because it's a sure-fire money-spinner."

Winehouse fan Lady Gaga has already been linked to the role, after an insider told The Daily Star that "Gaga’s been itching to make the transition from music into movies and sees this as the ideal role to launch her film career."

Gaga may have the looks and the voice, but Lindsay Lohan knows better than anyone what it's like to NOT want to go to rehab. Taylor Momsen has the "pretty reckless" behavior down pat ... but Lea Michele kind of looks like Winehouse if you squint really hard.

    Natalia Tena should play her. Not only does she look and sound like her, she has the acting skills to pull it off. She starred in some of the Harry Potter movies. Check her out! sound acting skills pull starred harry potter movies check

    Liana Mendoza is a singer, actress, and recording artist that is the same age as winehouse. It should be played by a rising star, rather than someone like Gaga.

    If you want someone to play a no talent drug addled freak, why not go to the nearest thing. Although, I think we should have added Paris Hilton to this list.

    Only because she can look more like Winehouse than any other actress.

    I was looking for the more generic choice of "other sleazy actress' but Gaga will suffice.

    Protest vote... I say Britney! Double points if she pulls a "Winehouse" during the filming!

    IF, and I mean, IF Lea Michele or Kristen Stewart get the role, SHAME ON YOU whoever would cast anyone that has NO clue about Amy Winehouse or her music or her LIFESTYLE choices! I only picked Lindsay Lohan, because I didn't feel any other person on the list qualifies. Not even, Lindsay. Let the poor soul (Amy) rest, geeeeeez!
  • PDenoli Georj 2011/08/22 21:01:35

    But if Lohan pulled a "Winehouse", would we have to rename it? Tough call.

    There wasn't a choice for none of the above so I just picked the most outrageous. If a movie is to be made at all it should be as a cautionary tale.

    She wouldn't have to do much acting...and do we really need a biopic on this woman?

    Since when is Lady Gaga an actress?

    Anyway, I think the best choice is Steve Buscemi:

    I think who ever plays Amy Winehouse should contact either Keith Richards or Steve Tyler for technical advice on the life style.

    Just film a few hours of Amy's dead body. No one will know the difference.

    Might as well just give the role to Kristen Stewart. She already keeps getting roles that she has no business playing.

    And it should research the role by spending the next six months sealed in Amy's tomb. Actually it should just be sealed in any airtight container to never be heard from again.
