Feb 12 2008Marisa Tomei Stripping for 'The Wrestler'
Variety reports Marisa Tomei has signed on to star opposite Mickey Rourke in Darren Aronofsky's The Wrestler. In the film, Rourke plays a retired, over-the-hill wrestler who moves in with a stripper (Tomei) and her son. Yet another serious role as a stripper pried from the lacquered nails of Pamela Anderson. Don't worry, baby; you'll get your chance one day. Maybe in a direct-to-video sequel with Hulk Hogan, or is that too appropriate?

Wonder if she'll actually strip, or will she be one of those strippers who DON'T STRIP, like Jessica Alba in Sin City or Natalie Portman in...uh...that movie where she played a stripper.
Not that I want to see Marisa Tomei naked, but if you're going to play a stripper I think the least you should be willing to do is strip.

The movie with Natalie was Closer.

If you saw how naked she was willing to get in "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead" last year, I don't think she will have a problem with actually stripping for this film. And by the way...I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating cookies. She has a fantastic body.
