Opening in October, How to Lose Friends and Alienate People is an adaptation of a memoir by British journalist Toby Young, chronicling his failed five-year attempt to make it as a contributing editor at Vanity Fair.  But just because it’s based on a true story doesn’t mean it’s not exactly like The Devil Wears Prada.  Who knew working at fruity jerk-off magazines was such a big deal? 

Still, Simon Pegg’s in it, and not only is he pretty funny, but his last name is a slang term for a woman using a strap-on to have anal sex with a man.  Coincidence?  Uh, probably. Trailer after the jump. 

After you Photoshop them together, do you think you could fix Kirsten Dunst’s teeth and make his hair look like it’s made of straw?  Awesome, thanks.

Watch the trailer 

Apparently, Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine, Science of Sleep) is making a movie about Blondie, and it’s rumored that Kirsten Dunst is the front runner for the lead.  Of course, this news was hard to swallow for people that care, ie, guys that used to whack off to Deborah Harry (who may or may not have seen what she looks like these days). 

So they did what frustrated masturbators everywhere do, which is take to the internet message boards, where Dunst was forced to defend herself, saying "Debbie chose me for this role so anyone who disputes this can take it up with her."  The crazy part is, it’s true:

The iconic frontwoman confirmed that Dunst received her blessing. "She’s a really sweet person," Harry says. "I’ve met with her a couple of times and hung out with her socially. She’s just a sweetie." … She’s probably capable of a lot of things she hasn’t been asked to do yet, and doing something that’s sort of left of center would be great for her."

Yeah, I keep asking her to mop my floor and scrub the turd stains out of my underwear, but the little bitch hasn’t lifted a finger.  I just thought it’d be pretty "left of center" and something she’d be capable of.  Ask her to act in a movie though?  That’s just crazy talk.
