    Amanda Seyfried has traded in her golden locks that made her shimmer on screen in "Mamma Mia!" and "Red Riding Hood" for a curly brunette 'do in order to play one of the most infamous stars in movie history.

    Cameras spotted Seyfried on location in Long Beach, CA where she was filming "Lovelace," the film about the life of Linda Lovelace, the star of the legendary 1972 adult movie "Deep Throat."  This new biopic will focus on the troubled relationship between Lovelace (born Linda Boreman) and her then husband Chuck Traynor, played by Peter Sarsgaard.  Lovelace stated that Traynor threatened and abused her, and became a vocal opponent of pornography.  She died in 2002 at the age of 53 from injuries sustained in a car accident.

    (Photo: Xposurephoto.com)Seyfried was snapped on the set stepping out of a classic red Cadillac El Dorado in a short dress, platform wedges and a long, multicolored scarf.  Fans of Seyfried's luscious blonde tresses shouldn't worry, though.  Her new brown hair is just a wig, and she was seen sporting different hair lengths for the various time periods depicted in the film.

    "Lovelace" recently added Demi Moore to its cast as feminist activist Gloria Steinem.  Adam Brody will be playing Lovelace's "Deep Throat" costar Harry Reems.  Sharon Stone, Chris Noth, Hank Azaria and Wes Bentley round out the cast.

    Seyfried isn't the only actress who is slated to bring Linda Lovelace's ultimately tragic story to the big screen.  Malin Akerman has been cast in a separate film entitled "Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story."  Reportedly, that project was set to star Seyfried's "Mean Girls" costar Lindsay Lohan in the lead role but she was replaced.

    This week, it was also reported that Seyfried is in negotiations to play Cosette in the movie version of the Broadway musical "Les Miserables."  She would join Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway and Taylor Swift in the film from Oscar winning director Tom Hooper ("The King's Speech").

        I will start by saying I am AGAINST driving in the passing lane IF someone is coming up behind you AND the right lane is clear and safe for you to be in.

        ... You're driving in the right lane of a highway that has 3 lanes for the direction that YOU are going in ( Car A ), and about a half a mile ahead of you there's another car in the right lane that's obviously going ABOUT the same speed you are going ( Car B ), and behind you another car coming up in the right lane behind you ( Car C ), Car C gets into the middle lane to pass you, after Car C passes you, Car C gets right back into the right lane, THEN Car C catches up to Car B and jumps BACK into the middle lane to pass Car B and THEN AGAIN Car C jumps right back into the right lane right after passing Car B.

        Throughout that entire process, there were no hazards on the road, and not ONE car got CLOSE to passing Car C.

        Car C = A retard

        Yes the left lane is ONLY for passing, and if you throw trash on the floor it's littering, BUT ... you won't get a ticket for littering if you drop something on the ground and then pick it back up, thus, you won't get a ticket for driving in the passing lane as long as you DON'T stay there WHEN there's someone behind you and the right lane is clear and safe for you to be in, right ?

        ... If you're in the passing lane because you've just passed someone who was in the lane to the right of you, and no one is behind you trying to pass you, look in your mirrors once every 5 - 10 seconds and STAY in that lane UNTIL someone is coming up behind you, and, depending on the size and speed of their vehicle, move over accordingly, OR until a HAZARD appears that would then make it SAFER to be in the right lane INSTEAD of the passing lane

        ... otherwise, there's NO INTELLIGENT

        ... INTELLIGENT ...

        ........ reason to leave that lane.

        People like the right lane so they don't have to pay attention to the road as much, they take a look in their mirrors and think "Okay it's clear to get over now so I'll just get over now so I can look at the scenery, talk on the phone, talk to the person in the car with me, etc. and NOT have to watch my mirrors". What reason do I have to lie to you about this subject ? How do I benefit by lying to you about this subject, YOU specifically ? I've never gotten a ticket for left lane driving, nor have I EVER been in any type of accident. People need to learn to use all lanes instead of changing lanes unnecessarily just so that they don't have to watch their mirrors and surroundings ! It's an unsafe practice that becomes an unsafe habit.

        Try this : If you're used to getting into the right lane immediately after passing, try staying in the left lane for an extra 10 seconds if there's no one behind you, and then next time, increase it to 20 seconds, etc. You might be surprised at how long you can actually stay over there.

        ANYONE that disagrees with my comment wants the left lane all to themselves at the snap of a finger and should thus be ignored.

      a movie about a porn actress giving blow jobs.

      Great, just great.
      • Tai-274-Wan 4 months ago
        what is in this for her to play this role. I notice Sharon Stone is in this one too. Are the jobs that hard to find in the industry in Hollywood?
      • soupnazi 4 months ago
        This is the best Hollow-wood can come up with. I'd prefer to see the real Linda perform.

      not a good choice... she looks nothing like linda lovelace. there are other actresses who would have been a better choice.
    • Bmore  •  4 months ago
      Like Amanda, but Lindsey Lohan would have looked and acted the part well... but she couldn't stay out of trouble.
    • customer  •  4 months ago
      They look nothing alike at all. Pretty far reach claiming they do.
    • Jomama  •  4 months ago
      Will she actually do the DT in the movie I wonder?
    • Mary J.  •  Albuquerque, New Mexico  •  4 months ago
