Britney Wanted for "Sordid Lives"

Posted Oct 16th 2007 12:38PM by TMZ Staff

Award-winning writer/director Del Shores wants Britney so badly for his new series, "Sordid Lives," he went looking for her himself!


Unable to reach Britney through her "people," Del and actor Jason Dottley (who'll play Ty Williamson) showed up at Millennium Dance Studios in North Hollywood yesterday, where Britney was supposed to be auditioning dancers for her next tour. Del says he's got a great part for Britney in the show, and since they're shooting in her native Louisiana, she'd be perfect!

Shores is so serious about getting Britney for the show, he brought his own film crew and waited for her. They got into the studio to try and find the pop calamity, but she never showed. Perhaps this is the comeback vehicle that'll put Britz back on top! She'd be crazy not to do it -- it will be seen worldwide -- and the cast already includes Olivia Newton-John, the fabulous Beth Grant and Delta Burke!

4. I'm confused...Did these guys not see "Crossroads" ? She can't act, just like she can't sing, or dance, or mother.

5. Speaking of Britney, has anyone gone to that "other" site (X) that is so biased toward her? There has been nothing posted since last Friday. Hopefully, people stopped going because of the ridiculous spin they put on all stories Britney. IMO, they are not credible AT ALL.. Lots of people complaining about it last week. Anybody know what's going on?
stick with TMZ for the real scoop!

6. Go Britney, maybe this is a way to show the courts and everybody else how serious of a celebrity you are...I mean you can keep driving around incontrollably, keep getting sued, or do something no one expects you to do...go home! Go home, shoot a respectable show with some real class actors and directors and maybe you'll not only look like a career mom but actually start to act like one. You decide brit, but you kids are on the line, and what judge wouldn't give "THE MOM" her kids, make something better of yourself than "gimme gimme more..look kids i'm on a pole".....must of taken a long time to think of that, come on, we all know your better than this, so why.....why do you make it SOOOO EASY for all these jerks (like the papparazzi) to make a complete ass of yourself....no wonder the judge can't see a reason to give you the kids...YOU ARE A KID... GROW UP BRITNEY!!!!!!!

7. Britney's had an album titled "In the Zone"....Remember that one?
Her next one should be "Out of the Zone" or "The Twilight Zone".
But "Blackout" works. Hahahaaaaa

9. Why does he want to destroy the show before it even get's started!?!?? Even if he give her a role it's unlikely she will show up for the shoot... and even if she does she will just walk through it like she does everything else lately. It was great without her and will be even better if he keeps it that way!

10. we want Brintey! And she CAN act. Did anyone see her on Will and Grace??? She was fantastic. And, no, we did see Crossroads, but maybe she was the victim of poor material and a lack of acting confidence. This role is fun and easy and Del Shores is a GREAT director. She will be fine... if we can find her!

11. Maybe Tom and Katie could save her a seat at the next Scientology meeting. Couldn't hurt. Now Katie Holmes there is a class act. Look and learn Brit!!!!!

12. SHE WON'T BE ABLE TO DO THAT!
SHE IS A NO SHOW AT HER OWN PRODUCTIONS...
LET ALONE SOMEONE ELSE'S..
SHE IS A FLAKE AND CAN NOT BE DEPENDED ON...
JUST HIDE AND WATCH "YA'LL" :)

P.S.
AND IF SHE HAS TO WEAR UNDER WEAR, FUGETABOUT IT!
IT WON'T HAPPEN!!!
WOULD'NT BE PRUDENT....

whether or not she can act is moot, her current history shows right now, she is undependable.

i've never seen or even heard of "sordid lives", but why would i need too? brit is a reality show all on her own.. and no one has to even pay her.

14. They probably would have had a better chance at her local gas station or Taco Bell!

15.
The guy said they were not there audition obviously. Wasn't obvious to me!
her record is about to be rleased and no push PR from her company, it's so quite wonder if they gave up on her too. Can't see a tour or video would be helpful to her now anyway.
