Kate Beckinsale got the ‘Total Recall’ role that Kate Bosworth wanted

A few weeks ago, Kaiser was aghast to learn that Kate Bosworth was reportedly (at least, according to her publicist) up for a gig opposite Colin Farrell in the superfluous remake of Total Recall. Naturally, it was a terrible idea to consider Bosworth in a remake that shouldn’t exist at all; and while I honestly think that Colin Farrell (who is no slouch in the action department), is quite talented, I don’t see him in the Schwarznegger role either. This is probably because I just don’t see anyone filling Arnold’s formerly musclebound prowess in a sufficient and wholly unlaughable manner. For loyalists like myself, this remake has already been doomed from conception, but at least there’s the positive news now that Bosworth has been disregarded for the role in favor of another Kate, who just happens to have the last name “Beckinsale”:

Kate Beckinsale has been offered one of the female lead roles alongside Colin Farrell in the Sony Pictures remake Total Recall. I’m told she’s been offered to play Lori, who was portrayed in the 1990 Paul Verhoeven-directed actioner by Sharon Stone. In fact, that role really launched Stone’s star after she transformed from the happy spouse of Douglas Quaid (Arnold Schwarzenegger) into someone completely different.

Both that role and the role of Melina (played in the original by Rachel Ticotin) has drawn high interest from actresses. I’ve heard that Eva Mendes and Rosario Dawson are the serious contenders for the latter role. Beckinsale wasn’t among the names most often mentioned among actresses who read for Lori. But she certainly has a track record with the film’s director, Len Wiseman. They’re married, and before that, worked together on the Underworld films. Beckinsale, who just wrapped Contraband with Mark Wahlberg, is also attached to star in The Trials of Kate McCullough, to be directed by Karen Moncrieff. She is currently shooting Underworld 4: New Dawn, so we’ll have to wait a beat to see if she accepts. She’s repped by WME and Brillstein Entertainment Partners.

Sure, Kate Beckinsale is a much wiser choice for the Sharon Stone role than Kate Bosworth, but I have a hunch that nearly any famous Kate (Winslet, Hudson, Moss, Gosselin, maybe even Middleton) could eastily do better than Bosworth. She’s such a no talent who has relied on her relative good looks to get her far enough in Hollywood, but she’s no actress. Man, I bet Bosworth is seriously pissed about this little slight. She needs to look at the bright side though, for this will totally free up her schedule and give her more time not only to get papped with Alexander Skarsgard but also to convince the world that she reads Russian literature, right?

Fab and Annoying

Kate Beckinsale is fabulous and gorgeous but the woman, picture above in NYC yesterday, cannot keep her mouth shut!

Her latest quote?

“I can’t do raw. I can’t do sushi, even. Anything that has that vaginal quality to it. I’d rather an actual vagina than that, honestly."

It Isn't Anorexia Nervosa!

For anyone who thinks Hollywood's skinny-minnie starlets don't eat—especially right before the Oscars—you should have lunch with Kate Beckinsale.

"I'm starving," Beckinsale said when she sat down at this afternoon's Los Angeles Confidential magazine luncheon in her honor, at the Mondrian hotel's Asia de Cuba restaurant. "I'm just gonna shove it all in!"

And that she did. The British beauty didn't hold back, enjoying—ready?—tuna tartar, calamari salad and black bean and chickpea dumplings, hearty pieces of Alaskan butterfish and chicken palomilla and even some helpings of side dishes like plantain fried rice with avocado salad.

Calories aside, she showed off her stunningly in-shape physique in a Michael Kors minidress. She did the same last night in a vintage YSL (above) at the Art of Elysium benefit at the Beverly Hills Hotel.



Kate has had eating disorders in the past and that doesn't sound like Anorexia.. it sounds like Bulimia!

Boring Kate?

A gorgeous and makeup-free Kate Beckinsale was seen in Santa Monica with her husband yesterday. It's hard to believe that the stunning beauty is 34 years old and has a child! Some say she is boring but she certainly isn't boring to look at.
