The Devil Wears Prada to be remade with Heidi!!!

The Devil Wears Prada was a pretty good movie but did anyone notice how unglamorous and mousy the lead actress Jane Hathaway was?? Well, the “big guns” in Hollywood did and they are putting plans in motion to remake the movie with Heidi in the starring role as the “It” girl assistant to famous editor Miranda Priestly of Runway magazine. The casting of this inspired remake is a who’s who of current Hollywood Royalty. Take a look:

Heidi Montag as Andy Sachs (the Midwest “Glamour Girl” who comes to be famous in NY)
Nicole Richie as Miranda Priestly (the evil fashion magazine editor and Heidi’s boss)
RuPaul as Nigel (the gay employee who befriends Andy and gives her free clothes)
Grand Dame Judy Dench as Emily (the snobby British fashion-nut who is assistant to Miranda and who is jealous of Heidi)
Jackie Earle Haley as Christian Thompson (the famous writer who seduces Heidi)
Kevin Dillon as Nate (Heidi’s boyfriend who wants to be a chef)
Jada Pinkett-Smith as Lily (Heidi’s black lesbian friend)
Guest stars Ashley and Mary Kate Olsen as the Priestly Twins (the little girls who read the Harry Potter book Heidi steals for them)

With a cast like that the batting average on this movie is bound to be 1,000%. Preorders for DVDs are through the roof and it hasn’t even been shot yet! Release will be late 2009 so we have to wait awhile. But you know it will be worth it!!! Heidi DESIGNS clothes so of course she is a natural for this role. Expect popcorn and candy sales to be up during screenings of this film, also, as Heidi’s fans are definitely from an upscale demographic!!!!

Heidi Hand-Chosen to be OFFICIAL Pallbearer at Funeral of Yves Saint Laurent

The world lost a fashion giant a few days ago, but of course there are always new and up and coming designers who are going to make fashion history no matter who came before. The people closest to Yves Saint Laurent as his long illness worked its way to the end are unanimous about one thing and that is that he regarded Heidi and her Heidiwood clothing line as the hands-down best of the “new breed” of California-based fashion pioneers. So it’s coming as no surprise to anyone in the industry that the last will and testament of Yves Saint Laurent specified specifically that Heidi be one of the pallbearers at Yves Saint Laurent’s funeral in the fashion capital of Paris. There were even rumors flying around over the weekend that the funeral was being moved to southern California in tribute to Heidi, but of course that is ridiculous. Yves Saint Laurent was many things but he was not an American, so how could he expect to be buried on American soil? Like I already said once—ridiculous!!! Heidi has had to cancel and rearrange more than half a dozen business appointments in order to attend this funeral but as usual she is handling these setbacks with her GOD-GIVEN aplomb. Yves Saint Laurent’s “grandma-type” clothes are just a bit too old-fashioned for a girl like Heidi, but she knows her fashion history. Of course, Heidi is in great shape physically, but she is female so even though she is an OFFICIAL pallbearer at this funeral, she will not be forced to carry the actual coffin. Arrangements have been made to have a cashmere blanket spread over the front half of the casket and Heidi will be asked to sit up there as the procession moves through the street of Paris and local church bells toll out the news that another life has been lost. People, it is quite obvious this is going to be the fashion event of the year, so Heidi has respectfully asked that she be permitted to wear her own clothing line and this request has been granted without hesitation.
