The singer was apparently chosen by the Pulp Fiction director to play dancer Varla in a remake of the 1965 cult film Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

The movie sees three thrill-seeking strippers encountering a young couple in the desert.

Spears' character murders the boyfriend with her bare hands before taking the girlfriend hostage. The troubled singer will also have sex scenes with another girl before the drama ends in a blood-bath

She reportedly threw a robber through a wall when he made the mistake of breaking into her home.

And she also worked as a dental assistant in later years.

I'd eat a pound of Oreos before going in for a cleaning!

In fact, I can’t believe she signed on to this.

I cant believe Tarantino signed her on to this.

Fave line from the Russ Meyer original:

Gas Station Attendent (staring at Turum's breasts): "It's nice to see a group of girls like you out discovering America."

Turum: "You won't find it DOWN THERE, Columbus!"

Britney ping!

Britney remains sexy only if you find the single moms who shop for lingerie in Wal Mart to be sexy. "My baby drops in September, y'all!"

It does look like he’s gone for good, but who knows? The moderation process is not known for its transparency.

This is so wrong. Why does Tarantino have to disrespect Russ Meyer like that ? Spears can't pull off camp, either, she's just not an actress, period. Plus, there's a reason she ain't on my FReeper page. Yuck.

Most young female actresses today are very petite, and it's hard to find the husky, busty lasses of Meyer's era. However, on one of my soaps, "One Life To Live" is Melissa Archer who plays Natalie Buchanan. She absolutely fits the model of a Meyer "star."

Britney would be better suited to play the annoying kidnap victim.

In the original film, none of the characters were anyone the viewer could easily side with.

The girl is a victim of circumstance but not a cheerable character. The others (the girl gang and the family they meet up with) are evil and self-serving.

Tarantino is a militant feminists dream. He loves imagining himself getting his own @$$ kicked by over-sexed women in his films. The mainstreaming of dominatrix fantasy into Hollywood has been a total abomination.

Even into the 1980s feminists were making death threats against Russ Meyer (the writer/director of the original).

I’ll never forget Melanie Griffith admitting she was coked and boozed out of her mind during the filming of Working Girl. And in the bar scene with Harrison Ford, it is more than a little obvious.

The other side of the coin, equally odd.

Is this a musical?

I hope not, otherwise The Fat Lady (That ain't no lady; that's Britney!) will sing.
