Today in Please God, No!: Jade Goody Enrolls In Acting School

Slowly but surely, Jade Goody's tireless quest to find the cure for racism goes on, with this week's attempt to obliterate her Celebrity Big Brother shocker involving recourse to the works of Konstantin Stanislavksi.

To wit: Jade is pleased to announce that she has signed on for a 12-week course at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute in New York, which specialises in the method acting techniques passed down from Stanislavski to weirdo Monroe-botherer Strasberg, and thence to the likes of Brando, Dean, Hoffman, and De Niro.

And now Goody. Who, one hazards, may have a wait before securing her own Inside The Actors Studio special (though in many ways, why not? Ben Affleck's had one).

"I'm going to acting school in New York," Jade tells Closer magazine, "and I've got producers in LA with a role for me."

Mm. Lost in Showbiz pictures a production office in the San Fernando Valley, where the silverware cabinet glistens with a single coveted statuette for that seminal 1999 classic Shaving Ryan's Privates.

No doubt these producers have just greenlit an altogether more challenging version of Transformers. But, given her form, Jade would be perfect for their ambitious retelling of Guess Who's Coming To Dinner, which promises to go deeper into the hardcore interracial screwing possibilities of the story than director Stanley Kramer felt able to in the original.
