Now, this is not normally the sort of thing I write about.  Heck, it’s not normally the sort of thing I care about.  That said, when you hear the news that Britney Spears is going to star in a movie that’s a cross between Back To The Future and Schindler’s List, you’ve just got to tell someone.

According to the Hollywood rumor sites, Britney will be starring in “The Yellow Star Of Sophia and Eton,” a movie in which, and I swear I’m not making this up, she builds a time machine, travels back to a WWII-era Nazi concentration camp, and falls in love with a Jewish man named Eton.  The rest of the film deals with their attempt to escape to the future so they can marry.

It’s almost as good an idea as Jerry Lewis’ infamous and still unreleased ”Day The Clown Cried,” where Lewis played a clown who entertained children waiting for their turn in the gas chambers.

Details are scarce, but you have to wonder if someone out there saw her shaved head and thought “I’ve got it!  Get me to the typewriter!”  It’s an idea so colossally bad, so monumentally insensitive, that it could only have come from the coke-addled mind of modern Hollywood. 

President Obama, bring on the pay czar.  If this is the best Hollywood can do, the execs are obviously being over compensated.
