Emmy Rossum Joins 'Dragonball', and Apparently 'Dragonball' Involves Actual Dragon Balls

Recognizing that a live-action version of the Dragonball anime--best known as the subject of shiny, oversized button-up shirts for fat guys--might not have much appeal outside of said fat guys, producers have added the doe-eyed, girl-next-door attractiveness of Emmy Rossum to the bill. Maybe that will bring in the sad sacks so desperate to see a good-looking girl that they'll endure two-hours of brightly-colored, nonsensical fighting, right?

According to Variety, "Rossum takes on the role of Bulma, whose father's Dragon Ball is stolen by Piccolo." I have no idea what a Dragon Ball could be (outside of a the obvious: a dragon's testicle), why this Piccolo character would desire to possess one, or why her name sounds like something in or around the vagina. If you have any of these answers (assuming there are answers), please share it in the comments. No one's judging you.
