Star magazine is just off key with its item about a remake of the musical My Fair Lady.

The tab “has learned that Natalie Portman is campaigning to play Eliza Doolittle, the role immortalized by Audrey Hepburn” in the 1964 release. According to a so-called “source,” Portman “worships Audrey,” and has observed that her lack of vocal experience shouldn’t be a problem. “Natalie can’t sing,” says the source, “But she keeps pointing out that in the original movie, Audrey was dubbed.”

There might be a bigger obstacle, though. Despite Star‘s supposed scoop, Portman has no interest in playing Doolittle.

A rep for the actress tells Gossip Cop the rumor is “not true.”

To borrow a phrase from My Fair Lady, “With a Little Bit of Luck”… someday Star will get casting news right.

“By George, she’s got it!” reads the headline of an article that reported, “Keira Knightley beats Scarlett Johansson to be My Fair Lady.”

According to a story in the Telegraph, which was picked up by numerous outlets, Keira Knightley has been tapped — over Scarlett Johansson — to play the part of Eliza Doolittle in a re-make of the 1964 film “My Fair Lady,” which had starred Audrey Hepburn.

The casting of Knightley comes as a big surprise – perhaps to Knightley as well. Her agent’s office told Gossip Cop that it was “not true” that she was chosen and, in fact, knew nothing about the production.

The misguided Telegraph story noted that Knightley had “begun singing lessons” to prepare for the part, but in actuality, the lessons were for her upcoming stage debut in a London production of the play, “The Misanthrope.” 

With a little bit of luck, she could sign on, but as of now she is absolutely not attached to the film.

That same article mentioned Daniel Craig “as a possible Professor Henry Higgins,” but his rep said he wasn’t slated to do the re-make either.
