Aug 17 2006Christopher Walken Marries Transvestite

Following Billy Crystal and Jim Broadbent's exits from the very same role, Christopher Walken is set to slip in to the character of Wilbur Turnlbad in Hairspray, the movie version of the Broadway musical based on the John Waters movie. If the fact that Jerry Stiller once inhabited the role in the original 1988 movie doesn't compel you enough, then maybe the fact that John Travolta will be playing Walken's wife will pique your interest. Travolta is set to play Edna Turnblad, as in the character that famous fatto and transvestite Divine originated. If you've seen Pennies From Heaven, Spike Jonze's "Weapon of Choice" video or any other musically slanted work Walken has done, you know that he's well prepared for this upcoming role: he definitely looks like a guy who'd have sex with a tranny.
