  • The Susan Boyle Movie: A Star Is Born

    Susan BoyleAfter her surprisingly accomplished performance on America's Got Talent: British Edition -- or whatever they call it over there -- Susan Boyle, a frowsy, unemployed, diamond-in-the-rough, went from "total obscurity" to "global superstar" overnight as the clip of her appearance became a YouTube sensation. Now, Simon Cowell and other music industry starmakers are plotting number one albums, international tours, and we're guessing, given Boyle's Rocky Balboa-like triumph combined with her Forrest Gump-like chutzpah, a big-budget biopic about her unlikely rise to fame. But who will play the bushy-browed, frazzle-haired 47-year-old when the project is inevitably greenlit? Vote on your favorite choice below:

    Charlize Theron
