We all remember where we were when we first saw the star-studded 1991 comedy Soapdish. Okay, maybe we don't. I personally do remember seeing it but all I recall is the scene where Sally Field's insecure aging soap diva went out to a mall just so she could be recognized and fawned over by adoring fans. This idea was fresh and funny at the time. Now it seems like your average episode of TMZ.

Oh, and I also remember that Cathy Moriarty's character in the movie was called Montana Moorehead, which is a great, soapy name. And Robert Downey Jr. was on hand, too, which is always a good thing.

Now, courtesy of the Hollywood Cog, comes word that Paramount is planning a remake of the movie set in the world of telenovelas. This seems kind of a offbeat choice, but with your typical network daytime soaps dropping like flies, maybe it's a good call, particularly if they can get Penélope Cruz and Salma Hayek to make out. (My pitch would be to set the movie behind the scenes at a phony-baloney reality soap like The Hills, Real Housewives or Tori and Dean.)

Producer Rob Reiner is in the mix, which seems like kind of an un-soapy choice, but he is involved with the marriage equality fight in California, so if he wants to go campy, I'm sure he's got a Blackberry full of gay brains to pick.

Casting-wise, might I suggest Desperate Housewives refugee Nicolette Sheridan, who is embroiled in a lawsuit against ABC and DH creator lets-do-the-soapdish-again Marc Cherry, which claims he hit her in "the face and head." I love that description because it implies that her face and head were in totally different places at the time, which is sometimes the case sexpots of a certain age. Maybe he hit her in the face, then walked across the room and hit her in the head. However it went down, there's a good B story in there for the new Soapdish.

So Nicolette, call your agent and get on it. Lisa Rinna probably already made an audition video, with dancing and everything, so time is of the essence.
