It looks like Us Weekly had the wrong Parker. According to "Lovelace" directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, Sarah Jessica Parker -- and not Mary-Louise Parker -- will replace Demi Moore in their new film about porn star Linda Lovelace. She'll play journalist and Ms. magazine co-founder Gloria Steinem.

Moore joined the project on Jan. 2, but was forced to drop out this week after being checked into the hospital for what her representatives called "exhaustion." On Friday, the 9-1-1 call from Moore's house was released, an unsettling ten minutes that revealed -- per Moore's friends on the call -- the actress suffered convulsions after apparently smoking something similar to incense.

Sarah Jessica Parker was last seen onscreen in the omnibus romcom "New Year's Eve." She joins a "Lovelace" cast that already includes Amanda Seyfried as the titular porn star, Peter Sarsgaard as her abusive ex-husband, James Franco (in a cameo as Hugh Hefner) and Adam Brody as Lovelace's "Deep Throat" co-star Harry Reems.

Interesting casting, although I really don't care who's in this film because I have no plan to see it.

This casting 'snafu' ranks right up there with the choice of Lindsey Lohan to play Elizabeth Taylor. This one will require lots of make up!!! Demi is beautiful, SJP is a horse-face. Of course - Gloria Steinem was no raving beauty .

Subjectivity! I find SJP way more attractive and likable than Demi Moore. I think she is an adorable person.

And I thought I was the only one who believed that Parker's looks were vastly over rated. My faith has been restored in humankind for at least one more day.

How can she even get close enough to deep-throat with a schnoz like that?

If a star/public figure shows up to rehab or the ER for drug issues it is termed "exhaustion." For all others it's called overdose or addiction.

SJP has a nice butt.

You could bet if they showed up to your house for a call like that they would be all over the house looking for drugs. This not an indictment of cops, just a comment on the way social status has influence over perception and behavior.

SJP could no more replicate the Great Icon for women than I could..... Firstly, Gloria was beautiful, not that SJP isn't but two entirely different looks. There is just no way!!!

Sarah Jessica sure could play Flicka, she has a face like a horse...(sorry horse lovers). She has a very long face, long nose, big chin, big mouth ! Horses have beautiful eyes which she doesnt have! Why people think she is "nice looking" is beyond me!!!

Keeping Moore in whip-its would have been cheaper, can you imagine the logistics in hauling in hay wagons everyday?
