Kevin Spacey has laughed off reports he ditched Drew Barrymore as his love interest in Bobby Darin biopic Beyond The Sea due to Sandra Dee's objection - insisting the story was just a tabloid rumor.

The movie star picked Blue Crush star Kate Bosworth to play Dee in the film, and insists Barrymore was never in the running. He says, "There was some tabloid report that Sandra Dee herself had been upset about casting Drew Barrymore but, in fact, Drew Barrymore was never considered, so that was just a made up story. I cast Kate Bosworth, who is fantastic and delivered everything I could have hoped for.

--I loved this movie in its original state, but if the remake has my boy Kevin, it might just actually break my "Remakes (typically) suck" rule.

You Said

I think Spacey would also be great in the following biopics:

1. Rock Hudson
2. Montgomery Clift
3. Liberace

All are roles that would suit his "orientation" quite well.

Honey, when you conduct an interview in Esquire magazine for the express purpose of denying your homosexuality, you're queerer than a football bat!

Well people only say that b/c he is private about his private life. People said Richard Gere and Tom Cruise were gay too--and they aren't.
