Millions for Millionaire scandal

Quick-off-the-mark Hollywood execs are circling like vultures over the rights to the recent Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? scandal. Word has it that Hugh Grant and Catherine Zeta-Jones will be approached to play dashing defrauder Major Charles Ingram and Lady Macbeth-ish wife Diana.

The deceitful couple were handed suspended sentences for their attempts to cheat their way to the 1 million pound jackpot using a co-contestant's tactical expulsions of wind.

Comic actor Hugh Laurie is being eyed up for the role of coughtastic Tecwen Whittock, though whether even Tinseltown magic can glamorise a business studies lecturer from Pontypridd is anyone's guess.

An industry insider was overly excited about the project. 'This story's got everything,' he gushed. 'Scandal, deceit, greed and money. It's a classic heist in the tradition of The Sting and Heat.' Hmm.

It has been rumoured that the studio successfully netting the rights will ask gurning ape-man Chris Tarrant to appear as himself, which should help the film do wonders at the boxoffice.

Don't waste any time do they?

Somehow I don't think even the best in Hollywood could turn this load of second rate balls into movie magic.

I heard that the coughing one is being shown on Easter Monday - should be a good source of amusement.
